LPT: every time you have a negative thought about yourself (appearance, behavior, etc.) follow it with one thingsl that you like about yourself. This mindset has drastically changed my self-esteem. We all have something we don’t like about ourselves – they’re easy to find. This constant echo chamber of negativity erodes our selfworth. “Man, I’ve put on some weight… but I’m disciplined enough to lose it again.” “I hate my hair, but I’m still handsome/pretty.” It sounds stupid, but I pr…

Selling basic items such as pens, pencils, paper, headphones, chargers etc..? Profitable? Short version. I’m 29. I have roughly $110K total saved up. No debt. Been working a bs job making $18hr. I really want to start drop shipping, selling products online. I have a lot of free time because I work 6am-1:30pm everyday. If this becomes profitable I’d quit and do this full time. I’m looking for suggestions here. I know there’s a big m…

Who is your primary carrier? (USPS, Fedex, UPS, etc) I have been using USPS Priority for the last several years. Overall the rates are decent and the service has been pretty good, but what drives me crazy about them is how they want to avoid scanning packages. They either won’t scan them if there are a lot or they want to use the Scan sheets. Overall, it hasn’t been bad but out of all the carriers…

Your best experiences /recommendations for nature related trips (e.g Safaris / tours Zoos / etc)? One of my main interests is nature related travel “stuff” involving wildlife (could be birding, feeding unique animals, staying in farms, aquariums, anything that you really enjoyed. doesn’t have to be expensive , but hopefully replicable by others who are interested). Through reading comments in random threads I have learned just a bit about wh…

Best stores for “rustic industrial” style furniture etc? I’m in the process of redecorating and I’ve fallen in love with the “rustic industrial” style. Can anyone recommend some reputable stores or online sites that specialize in this kind of furniture and decor? Preferably places that offer good quality and aren’t exorbitantly priced. Thanks in advance for your suggestions! 😊 P.S. If you have any spe…

Which places have you hired tour guides (museums, landmarks, etc) and what has been your experience? Which do you recommend (esp for unexpected locations)? I never really thought of hiring a tour guide in a museum but I was in a museum in peru/lima and I overheard the guide a family had hired and it made me realize I should have hired one myself. I usually am more fond of audio than reading (it seems I should also consider audio self-guided tours if offered to try at least once). ​ I asked in a Chi…

How do I take photos like this one? Cozy, darker, etc. can I do it with my phone? Can I know which filters were used? submitted by /u/caick1000

LPT: Tie a loose knot with the drawstrings on shorts, hoodies, etc. before putting them in the laundry. edit: phrased differently – “tie the drawstrings together” /// I usually tie the knot about an inch away from the ends of the drawstrings. It helps prevent all sorts of nonsense like strings getting pulled into your shorts’ waistband (annoying af), the drawstring getting pulled completely out (also annoying af), or the two ends tying themselves…

Looking for a shipper for Patriotic T’s, Warrior etc I’m new to e-commerce. I want to have a site that sells these types of tshirt and other items. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? submitted by /u/lavilau1

Where do you see the lesser-known streaming services (Paramount+, Peacock, etc.) 5 years from now? I’m referring to streaming services other than the big 5 (Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon). The ones like Paramount+, Peacock, Apple TV+ etc. Where do you see them in 5 years time? Personally I think Apple TV+ will be OK but Paramount+ and Peacock have been bleeding money, losing billions per year in a desperate attempt to make their streame…

Mashinsky’s Arrest, Ripple Ruling, Etc. I was on vacation for the last week-and-a-half but before I left, I sent a list of things to watch for to my colleagues that in hindsight, was wholly inadequate. Anyway, here’s my effort to catch up.

I love traveling and have been to 6 countries in Europe within the past 7 years + Mexico, Bahamas, etc. But I just wanted to rant about this insane coincidence that has plagued me since 2018. Long story short, I share an exact same name and DOB with a man wanted by Interpol for murder. What’s worse is that he has some similar facial features and skin tone as me, which make agents go crazy at passport control. Because of this dude I’ve gotten a kno…

If you own a brand (apparel, etc), how do you price your products? Another question I have is (for the first 3 points), if the costs / competition price / demand expectations change, how often do you update your prices to reflect that? I’d also appreciate any further comments, thanks! View Poll submitted by /u/Foreign-Hat-3994

LPT: Because streaming services like netflix, hulu, etc. are not paying residuals (hence the strike) you do not need to feel guilty if you….find other ways of watching that content Streaming movies/TV shows have totally changed the way everyone has been paid. Because the actual content creators (writers, actors, animators, sound engineers, gaffers, best boys, worst boys, etc.) have already been paid you can get those shows however you want, and it will not affect those people. It will only affect the owners of the streamin…

Increasing Tiktok views, strategies, etc. Hi there! I have been trying to increase the views on a clothing company tik tok account. I started the account so I have been running it since the beginning. I was wondering if anyone has any advice, strategies, or ideas to help boost views and engagement. One thing I have found to make a difference is leaving the app for a good amount of tim…

Injured (slightly) while traveling – any tips for help on planes, in airport, etc? Hi – we’re a family of Americans (with my spouse and two small kids), traveling in Europe. I got a minor injury yesterday – it’s just a foot injury, but had 15 stitches from the local Urgent Care center. We’re staying in a very small village and have to fly back to the states this weekend with a connection. I can walk but very very slowly, and …
