LPT: leave a voicemail; make voice memos Rarely (I think) do people leave voicemails to close friends and family anymore. If someone doesn’t answer, we assume they’ll call us back or we send them a text saying “call me.” Recently, my grandfather passed away.

LPT: How to improve calculation skill? I am quite bad at Math. In daily life, it’s not an issue but at work I’m quite struggle to follow up with conversations related to numbers. For example my boss said “This seller receives 30% discount of XX & that seller receives 50% of XX so the amount difference is YY” => It took me at least 5 mins to figure out the result in my head Or when my…

LPT: Improve your phone reception by wiping your SIM card with a rubber for paper I learned this recently: I live in the alps, no fiber cables, so I have a 4G router with a flat plan SIM card that provides WIFI for my apartment. Recently I saw the reception bars dropping from a solid 3/3 to a 1/3, eventually “dying” and stop working, all in one week or so. I googled it and followed this advice: I took out the SIM and gently w…

LPT: how to handle “You’re SO ungrateful” Whenever someone says that to you, say back to them: “You’re right, I’m not grateful for what’s happening right now, it makes me feel like an after thought.” Starting off by agreeing with them doesn’t give them any more fuel for their fire, and by sticking to how you feel, instead of what they did, you force them to listen to how their actions a…

LPT : Amateur Porn is still porn. What you’re watching is mostly performance. Remember that for your personal life Porn is not real sex. It is entertainment. It is a packaged view of things to make you come back to see more. A product like any other. It is important to remember when engaging in your own sexual adventure that much like an action movie, porn is meant to be exciting and as an escape from reality, it does not mirror reality. With the ubiquitous …

LPT: Improve your posture is as simple as turning your wrists out. One very effective way to improve posture is to turn your hands so your palms are facing forward when walking. This will naturally roll your shoulders back. That leads to straightening your spine. This leads to tilting your head back. After a couple days, you will do it without thinking. submitted by /u/essray22

LPT pick something you want to work on I understand everyone has problems in their life, but how do you pick something to work on when there like multiple things to do at once. Instead of picking something, I just tend to avoid it and it just piles up more inside my head causing worries and overthinking. But I feel more bad when I don’t have game plan to solve that specific task. It’…

LPT How to command respect from someone who doesn’t respect me and is stronger physically? I am 18M, living in a collage dorm with an asshole roomate with an arrogant attitude. He a lot of times teases me in a disrespectful way and puts me down. Every time i respond back he threatens me he will beat my ass. He could, very easily, because he’s is a professional fighter (20M). He makes me feel insecure, even when i get to my dorm from c…

LPT: Before you consider moving away, consider this I am in my 50’s. I have lived mostly within 200 miles of Chicago, because that is where family was. I currently live in Orlando.

My father passed away thi…

She was never really treated like a breathing thing, she was often alone and my …

LPT If you procrastinate doing laundry try setting a timer each time you start a load LPT I really dread doing laundry on my day-off. I loathe it. I resent it. I will procrastinate doing laundry to the point that I will have to start wearing clothes from the back of my closet and my coworkers will say, “I like your new clothes.”. To make matters worse, my laundry room is in the basement, which we all know is where monsters are wa…

My grandma lived to be 105 and never went to a gym or exercised in her life, beyond a 2 minutes morning breathing routine.

However, this could also screw things up including breaking a baking rack, or just malfunctioning altogether if your oven is old. If you’re going to run the self-clean cycle, do it now and not a month from…
