It lets you walk right up to a person at a bar before thinking about what you’re gonna say. Instead why not try saying fuck it and walk up to people and don’t think about the negatives.

Think of the movie yes man. In the movie you have a introvert who was closed minded and stayed in his bubble. He starting opening up and doing things he normally wouldn't do and his life changed drastically. Start at work. It's the easiest way to practice this. Do more listening then talking, and give good responses. Show interest in what the person is talking about even if it doesn't interest you in the moment, keep an open mind. Also talk to EVERYBODY. If you are wanting a girlfriend don't just talk to hot girls. Don't make finding a girlfriend your main goal. Just talk to everyone as a person and practice. The more social interactions you have the better you will become. You need to practice this skill, it won't come overnight. Be respectfull and nice, and people will flock to you to talk to you. I used to be a huge introvert myself, and to some degree I still suffer from social anxiety from time to time. But I've done these tips throughout my life and my social skills are way better than they were 6 years ago. Don't listen to those stupid tapes how to pick up a girl more often than not you'll come off being a douche. Go into a social interaction and expect NOTHING.

I find taking the time to change wording and rearrange the order really gets my brain wrapped around the presentation. Then I read it and read it and read it. \n\nIt is way easier to speak about what you know, and spending that much time builds what I call \"public speaking muscle memory.\" It is the same thing as remembering where \"m\" fits in the alphabet, or recalling the second verse in a song; you have to start before and it just triggers the next stanza or sentence or whatever. I don't memorize them word for word, but I am confident in the flow and the content for each section. \n\nIf I have time, I will pare the presentation down to bullet points on a card, but usually I just space the script out on the page in sections, like verses in a song, highlighting the first sentence of each section in the colours of the rainbow (first section red, second section orange, then yellow) so I can easily find what section I am on. I do this because I just \"know\" the colours of the rainbow and my brain doesn't have to think about it. The script is a backup, and I try to speak conversationally. \n\nFor the really important parts that I don't want to mess up, or for the concluding sentences, I'll write those out like poems, so it is easy to see them on the page and not lose my place if I am reading word for word. Plus, with poem-like phrases, I can read them quickly, make eye contact with the audience like a functioning human being, and make sure I am confident in my points. \n\nFor formal presentations, I also use some tricks like \"For accuracy, I've written this down, so I am going to read this [statistic/fact/quote] to you.\" Your audience wants you to succeed, and they want to trust you. It's ok to be honest that you haven't memorized everything. \n\nGood luck!!\n\nTLDR: write it all down. Use familiar colour coding in your notes/script. Change formatting in your notes for important parts. Don't be afraid to say \"I am going to read this to you\" for points that you really want to hammer home.

Talk at length (preferably with someone who will be in the audience so you can look at them) about how you will probably get anxious at some point during your talk. Part of my anxiety comes from wanting to hide the fact that I might have/am having an attack. The battle to keep it under wraps just makes me more anxious. If you embrace the fact that it is going to happen and that someone in the audience already knows, then it helps to demystify the attack.\n\nYou can use something similar if you find yourself blushing. If you are the first person to draw attention to it - \"Oooh I have gone bright red!\" - then you are taking control and it is easier to laugh off than seeing people look concerned or start whispering.", "I like to get their early, if possible, so that people trickle in and you can chat with them while you get situated at the front of the room and you'll gradually be talking to more and more people while in position, analogous to wading into a pool slowly starting from the shallows as opposed to just cannonballing into the deep end. \n\nAlso, just recognize that almost everybody gets a bit nervous prior to public speaking; it's the body's natural response, and therefore is nothing to be ashamed of or beat yourself up over.\n\nIf you're especially worried about how you'll react, perhaps go easy on the coffee that day, as caffeine tends to exacerbate anxiety in those who are prone to it.\n\nBut really, just don't overthink it. It's normal to be nervous. You'll do fine.", "Try to make them laugh early. It doesn't even have to be that good of a joke. People are conditioned to laugh at jokes in a group.

My own theory is that speaking loudly and clearly makes you seem like you know what you're taking about. If you make a mistake but seem in control of the discussion/ presentation, correcting yourself is going to appear natural and not awkward.\n\nAnother important thing is to know the subject well enough you can talk about it in your own words. It's impossible to mess up a line if you have no pre-set lines. Such a thing may be too hard to do in a short time, since it does take practice in impromptu speech, but it really helps any time you need to talk to a group.\n\nAnd the last bit that probably won't help, stay calm. Appearances are next to everything, and looking calm is going to make the whole thing go so much smoother. Getting nervous is going to make everything harder. And if you do go blank for a half a second, don't panic. It is going to feel longer to you than it will to the audience, so if you can continue after that short pause, its gonna be seamless.

Don't rush the beginning and feel free to start with a hello and call out the crowd. You're less likely to be be nervous when you start get going.

Start each sentence with \"I want\".\n\n\n\"I want to be healthy and fit\"\n\n\n\"I want to own my own home\"\n\n\nGet a sheet of paper and write one of your wants at the top. Then underneath it write all the reasons it matters to you. Why will your life be better when you have accomplished this goal? This is important. \"Why?\" is at the heart of human emotion and the source of motivation. Beneath this start writing down the habits that need to change. Repeat this for each of your wants.\n\n\nNow the hard part, pick only two habits to work on. There are two ways people screw up, 1) not having clear goals and a clear way to get there 2) trying to make massive change instead of incremental improvement.\n\n\nYou need to understand how your brain works. All the behaviors that you are looking to change are wired into you at a deep level. There are specific neural pathways in you for all of it, there is a \"play video games all day\" neural pathway that makes you crave it. And every single time you give in to the urge, that pathway is reinforced and becomes even more powerful.\n\n\nThe good part is that when you form a new habit or put consistent effort into breaking an old one new pathways are formed. In time as you repeat the new behavior, these new pathways get reinforced and the new way of acting becomes second nature and even enjoyable. Studies have shown for example that people who start eating healthy [can actually retrain their brains](http://www.pri.org/stories/2015-01-24/scientists-think-they-may-have-found-way-rewire-your-brain-healthy-foods) to like healthier foods. This ability of the brain to change is called neuro-plasticity and it works for all kinds of behavior change. Focused effort to change habits leads to new neural pathways, which eventually makes the new behavior automatic and eventually the new behavior becomes something you crave.\n\n\nHere is where people screw it up. they change too much, too fast. Behavior change is hard. The often repeated myth that it takes 21 days to form or break a habit has absolutely no research backing it. In fact it seems it takes anywhere from [18 days to more than 8 months](http://repositorio.ispa.pt/bitstream/10400.12/3364/1/IJSP_998-1009.pdf) for your brain to rewire itself in response to new habits. It depends on the person and the habit. But people don't know this, they get inspired and imagine that their enthusiasm will remain constant and they change everything at once. New diet, join gym and workout daily, new budget, quit smoking. By the end of a week your life feels transformed.\n\n\nUnfortunately all this change takes a big toll on the brain which prefers those well established automated processes it was doing a week ago. Eventually enthusiasm wanes, you fell stressed, exhausted and those goals seem not to be so important now. \"What's wrong with me, why don't I have self control and motivation like the successful people?\" you wonder.\n\n\nMost successful people aren't relying on self control to get them through everything instead they use their self control to build useful habits so that their day to day actions are effortless and automatic.\n\n\nSo take each of those 'wants' and figure out the habits you need to change. 'Loose X pounds by X date' is not a habit. It's a short term scheme that probably won't get you lasting results. A twenty minute walk everyday is a habit. No junk food is a habit (but no sugar before 5 pm or no junk food stored in the house may be a more realistic way to start). Veggies with lunch everyday is a habit. 'Save X dollars per week for the house' is a good goal, but if that stalls, think of the habits you could try. Like keeping a diary or log of all purchases and reviewing it weekly to learn more about where the money is getting spent. Take a photo of something you want on impulse and wait thirty days to buy it. Every payday move a certain set amount of savings money from checking to an external savings account that you have no debit cards for.\n\n\nMake new habits as simple as possible and limit yourself to working on two new ones at a time. Work on those until you feel the stress and anxiety of that change start to subside. Don't rush it. Likely each \"want\" list item will take multiple new habits some of those taking months to form and become effortless. Be patient with yourself and keep making progress, this is a marathon, not a sprint. If you fail, think of it as feedback. What did you learn? What led to the relapse? Was the habit too ambitious? Can you simplify it and restart? For example maybe take a 20 minute walk every Monday, Wednesday and Friday until that gets established, then add other days later.\n\n\nDo not beat yourself up over relapses. Even after all those new neural pathways form, they aren't replacing the old ones, instead they exist along side them. So those old neural pathways are still there waiting to be lit up and take back control. It's why you have to be vigilant and if you relapse and the old you comes back for a bit, don't take it as proof that nothing has changed. Just get back on track and focus on the future.\n\n\nI hope this helps. I wish you the best.

At this stage, one of the best things to do first is to anchor in the why. Why do you desire change. Ask this question at least 50 times or until you find out the deepest of the deep reason. Some that is emotionally compelling, inspiring and motivating. Write this down and put it in your wallet and in places where you can see this not often.

Then look at can you get a trainer to train you on your nutrition and keep you accountable- this would be the fastest way. but lets say you want to wait on this. i would try bodyforlife.com they have sample nutrition pages, workout routines etc. The best way to lose fat is to do cardio on an empty stomach after getting up.\n\n2.

I was friend-zoned a bunch of times, some of their names I can't even remember, but there was that ONE (okay, two) who I won't forget.

It didn't really get easier for me.\n\nIf you end up following the same path as me, then eventually you just get really closed off towards women under the guise of being picky. \n\nThe good thing is that, with each rejection, I got smarter and I could see that the women I was chasing were pretty insane to have led me on that hard and then chosen some other drug-dealing prick over me.

The equation is easy - more muscles = more fat burn, more fat burn = less fat - but even here it comes down to a calorie deficit.\nIf you are new to this topic, I recommend you this article:\nhttp://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/ultimate-8-week-hiit-for-fat-burning-program.html\nIn terms of eating you could actually just eat everything as you're allready doing as long as you create a calorie deficit. (There was actually a guy who lost weight through only eating fast food and donuts - of course its not healthy but it worked through the deficit.)\nIf you want to change something you could focus on long-chained carbohydrates which will make you feel sated longer and tons of vegetables as they have a low energy value and will provide many body needed \"things\" (lost the word for it -fml) (but still remember calorie deficit !!!)\nIf u want to read more:\nhttp://www.buzzle.com/articles/complex-carbohydrates-list.html\nAnd dont think eating healthy is boring - just google something like \"healthy fitness meals\" and you will be surprised how nice it can be to cook healthy. \nSome quick tips:\nBan everything unhealthy (especially Snacks like Chips and Chocolate) and fast makable food from your house - if u have to spend time making your food you will only make it if you're really hungry (and not bored :D).\nAdd a cheat day if u're going with a really healthy diet. \nIf u're not familiar with it google it - it will help you looking forward to smoething and will motivate you during the week. \nDont measure your succes in weight or BMI - muscles are more heavy than fat - so if u loose fat and gain muscle u could actually weigh more - but be healthier. Go after Body Fat (Fat over your muscles) or take\nphotos of yourself in the mirror and decide on how you've changed your appeareance.\nDont think you will loose all fat in one week - it takes a fucking long time. But if you see the success it will become addictive.\nGood luck and feel free to ask some questions if u want :) \n\n\ne1: Added tl;dr\ne2: Sry for typos - written by phone", "As people said, you cant target weight loss, BUT, you can exercise areas to make muscles pop out more, which is why doing crunches WILL make your abs better, combined with general weight loss. \n\n\nAlso, its not entirely true that you cant target weight loss, not really. Fat distribution is caused by several factors, hormonal mostly, for example abdominal fat (when slim elsewhere) means you are very stressed, it gathers there as a defence mechanism to your vital organs, as the body is pumped with cortisol due to it, reducing stress will cause abdominal weight loss. \n\nSpecifically on the jaw, just general weight loss I imagine, there are exercises for the area but I personally cant say how effective it is.

Even if you don't think you really need help, there is always something you don't know that they can help you with to enhance your school experience or put you at an advantage. It really doesn't hurt. \n\n• Struggling with a class? Talk to the professor one-on-one, even if just over email. Get a tutor. Most colleges have tutors or other kinds of help for free. Again, it doesn't hurt to ask. Don't be afraid of getting help.\n\n• I didn't know this my first semester and it would have really helped my gpa now, but as a last resort, you can Drop (basically un-register for) a class if it's really too difficult. Good idea if your grade is too low and it's near the end of the semester when it's too late to save it. So know your drop dates. \n\n• Plan ahead. There's always something you can prepare for whether it be exams, classes for the next semester, finances, or housing. DON'T BE LAZY AND DON'T PROCRASTINATE when it comes to those latter things! It's like shooting yourself in the stomach if you do. This is also where asking for help from others can really benefit you. Just do it. \n\n• School books. Utilize libraries, school and public, where you can borrow books for free or put them on reserve. School libraries will often have General Ed textbooks and supplementary readings available to use in the library for as long as you want. Use those instead of buying if you can. You could buy them full price online, sure. Or you can go to websites specifically for student textbooks and purchase them for way cheaper. One I know a lot of people use is [Chegg](chegg.com) You can also rent from booksellers like Barnes and Noble. \n - Some classes utilize an online workbook which requires a code. Some places will sell you a textbook with a code that's already been used, meaning you have to buy a new code, so just be wary of that. Those tend to be expensive. \n\n• Take the time to choose your classes and professors carefully. I like to use [Rate My Professor](ratemyprofessor.com) to get an idea of a professor's teaching style, quality of instruction and other helpful info from other students who took their classes. Keep in mind these are opinions so take them with a grain of salt. \n\n• Get to know your learning and studying styles. You're an individual. You aren't gonna study like your roommate. Know what kind of study environment you need to effectively and efficiently study, if you like reading from books and slideshows to learn or from an instructor or something else, if you learn well from flash cards or self-quizzes or personalized note-taking. There's a lot of ways to study. Do some experimenting and find what works for you. There's also resources like quizzes online that'll help you do find that out. This is good to know also when you are choosing a professor. \n\n• Scheduling. Figure out what are your prime study times, when your body likes to eat, what sleep schedule works best for you, when you're awake and alert enough to learn in class. Most people can't do 8am classes, but if you can, take them! Got a tight schedule? Take an online or hybrid class to make it more flexible. \n - Keep in mind how far things are from each other. Especially if you go to a school with a big campus or multiple, separate campuses. Running from one end to another for a class that docks off points for tardiness is not ideal. \n\n• Make at least one acquaintance from each class. This may seem almost unnecessary, especially if you prefer to keep to yourself BUT it'll be so helpful when you do need someone. A classmate can tell you what you missed if you're absent in class, be your study buddy, help clarify concepts you didn't quite get, or even just repeat something you missed while spacing out. Get their number, say hi, occasionally make small talk. It's a small social price to pay for something very beneficial. Plus you may even make a good friend out of it and friends are good to have. \n\n• There's a lot of free stuff in college. School gym, tutors, tshirts, card-holders, food! Take advantage of it. There's also a lot of student discounts for technology, food places, services like Amazon and more. Take the time to look for them. They're not hard to find. Google exists after all. \n\n• Join online communities of people from your school. Facebook tends to host a lot of these groups where you can buy the exact textbooks for your class another student took as well, buy gently used materials and tools, furniture and household appliances for your living space, and plenty more. You can also ask for specific advice on forums, know events happening around you and other helpful stuff. It doesn't take a lot of time and easy to search for. \n\n\n\nMY BIGGEST PIECE OF ADVICE: Go to people for help. Other students, advisors, counselors, professors, tutors, whomever could possibly know something helpful to you. And don't be afraid to ask for help. \n\nI hope you have a great time in uni!

My resume was way outdated and I had a friend help me make it easier to read and highlight my skillset.\n\nStart doing something once a week that makes you really happy- go cuddle some cats in a cafe, go on a hike to a beautiful spot and have a snack, make yourself a fancy treat and watch your favorite show- but don't indulge yourself all the time and don't avoid your life- just remind yourself that your work stress and your home life and free time are separate. Be proactive about this.\n\nIf your work is abusing you, look into the legality of what they're doing. Talk to HR, see if mediation is possible or a transfer within the company to a new location. If they're emailing or texting you in your free time and expecting responses, see if you can draw the line of when your hours of accountability are. My previous job paid my phone bill and felt entitled to text or email me at all hours and it made me feel like I couldn't ever turn off work mode- it was a huge motivation to ask about that at the next place and make it clear that I am not willing to do that outside of normal business hours.\n\nAsk yourself what about your job/life is most stressful, and be specific and honest win yourself and see if you can do a small thing about it every week or month. Drink calming tea. Ground yourself. Breathe deeply while sitting under a tree on your break. Cut down your coffee consumption, quit smoking to accomplish, smoke more.weed, whatever helps minimize anxiety for you.\n\nThe comment about exercise is also true- getting your endorphins up will make you happier, and feeling stronger will also make you feel more confident.

I had the same problem my whole life - my anger went from 0 to 60 in no time, and to inapprpriate levels. You're right,counting to 10 is no help at all with anger like that. I felt like I was out of control on a regular basis and my relationships suffered.\n\nI had an experience several years ago that brought up some disturbing memories. I'll spare you the story (I started to type it out but realized I was undertaking the dreaded wall of text), but you might ask yourself if someone close to you when you were very young had mental illness. In my case, my mother was (and is) a diagnosed schizophrenic. When I was young she put me in situations where I was \"in charge\". At four years old I was the one who had to keep track of which subway stop we needed to get off to get to our apartment and other places we went frequently. Not just the stop, but the exit we had to get out of (if you know New York City subways, there are usually multiple exits to the street and if you get out the wrong one you can easily head off in the opposite direction from where you intended.). If I didn't intervene, we could wander for hours with my mother increasingly agitated and upset. \n\nWhen my little brother was born when I was 5 he had asthma and allergies and I was told he might die if he turned red or couldn't breathe or if he cried too long or his arm was red, so I was supposed to keep watch on all these things for my mother because \"I was better at noticing things\". So i had to be vigilant for these situations and many others so that we wouldn't get lost, never be able to find our way home, or cause my brother's death. My mother told me I was so much smarter than she was that she felt better giving me these responsibilities.\n\nHowever, I coukd never just quietly tell my mother that we were ar our stop or to go out this entrance or that my brother sounded like he was wheezing. She would ignore me completely. So I'd keep repeating myself, getting louder snd more urgent, till I was crying and screaming. Then she'd listen. So I quickly learned to never just quietly tell her something, I had to immediately go ballistic or I would be responsible for our world collapsing. She would laugh and laugh when I'd immediately scream my lungs out that the next stop was ours or to use the exit on the left. She enjoyed it when people shot dirty looks at me for being a disruptive horror and she'd confide in them about what a bad child I was when I didn't get my way. I don't know why my agitation and screaming was so pleasant to her, I just know that it seemed to give her great satisfaction when I would work myself into a state. And as far as I knew, at such a young age, I was saving us by screaming to get her attention.\n\nOf course this trained me to immediately go nuts with frustration and anger over the smallest things. And that habit stayed with me all my life until I was recently confronted with a situation that brought those early years back to me. And it was a huge revelation to me, that the anger I expressed so terribly was not really a part of me - it had been conditioned into me by someone who was very ill. It was like a magical cure, how easily I gave up anger once I remembered these things and how easygoing I seem to be naturally.\n\nSo it seems I've written a wall of text anyway, but I thought it might ring a bell for you. Even if it doesn't, you might start thinking about your anger differently. Anger at someone else might be coming from some hurt place inside yourself. Treating yourself with gentleness and care when you feel the anger rising might help. Turn kindness inside and let the outside problem go, for a few minutes at least. If its really a problem, it will still be there to be angry at!", "You have something that is bothering you and you don't want to think about it. Go and chat to a professional and discuss everything. If they are good at their job, they should be able to help you head towards figuring what it actually is. Afterwards, you can decide if you want to work through the issue yourself, or continue to seek their advice towards resolving the issue.\n\nOn an upside, anything you discuss with them is private and it won't come back to haunt you, like finding out your friends are all talking about it behind your back :-)", "It sounds like you need a vacation. \nSeriously, take a mental break.

But not just the other conceding to them, they have to *know* the other believes them right. When you see somebody who can't let things go, this could be why; a constant need to be able to 'prove' to others they are correct, and why they are correct.\n\nIn some it's just an easier go-to emotion to express, and difficult in expressing others, passively or actively. Lacking a sense of indifference, and stronger emotion, leading to frustration in discussion eventually blowing steam.\n\nA lot of comes from just knowing when to walk away. Identifying that 'winning' the argument isn't going to make your life better, and to just squash things out. Whether you're literally walking away from the person, or saying 'Let's just stop, I don't want to argue,' can help a lot to get.

For some reason, I liked taking less than one page of notes per article, but I'd write really small. I'm not sure why, but having a whole article condensed to the front of a sheet of paper (or less) made it more digestible and you have to really understand it. \n\nThe last two suggestions worked for me, but they're strange.

", "I regularly read scientific papers, and generally, here's a few things I like to keep in mind:\n\n- Make sure I'm 100% awake. If I even feel the slightest drowsiness, I'd wait on it, have a cup of tea/coffee, or nap. You're just wasting time if you're dozing off reading those proofs/analysis.\n- I'm not in a rush on it/the deadline (if any) is way ahead in time. Basically the opposite of the first point - if you're cramming it in for an exam or for a specific deadline, chances are that you're not going to understand the important points. You might be able to cram some papers in, but the chances are that any pressure you have will prevent any material from actually being absorbed.\n- Read about a paragraph at a time and stop immediately if there's anything at all that you don't understand. It might take an hour to read three pages just because you're looking everything up, but that's better than skipping points.\n\nSounds like common sense, but it's easy to forget the simple stuff. And different papers could require different advice, but I think points one and two here should be applicable in any case at all.\n\n", "PhD student here (Molecular Bio)\n\n1) Make a mental note of making the effort to REMEMBER as much as possible. This seems obvious, but often times, especiially for school, people read to find \"important\" parts of the paper just to write it down or type it. You aren't remembering anything when you do that. Your brain isn't reading to learn, it's scanning to copy. \n\nI have to constantly be mindful of this, but make the effort to just read to learn.\n\n2) To better facilitate #1, only put bullet points in the margin. If the paper is printed, I just put closed dots for important points and open dots for supporting points of a closed dot. \n\nYou don't need to dot definitions or big conclusions. You should be remembering those anyway. You dot key bits of information that are the crux of the paper; this varies depending on the subject. \n\n3) As soon as you find words/terms/concepts you don't know, google and learn them. The paper builds on these terms and not knowing half of the first paragraph sets you up for just skimming and not learning. \n\n4) It takes a ton of effort. I'm in my first year post undergrad and our first semester revolved around reading papers and analyzing figures. I sucked at it. It took an entire semester to become somewhat adequate at reading papers. Now I try to make a goal of reading a paper every 2 days. \n\n5) Figure out if paper is better than a screen. I find paper is great for making those bullet points in the margin. If you have to click or tap 3/4 times just to annotate, you're taking away from actually learning. If you're wanting to commit to the electronic stuff, make a habit of reading a section first then going back and annotating it afterwards. \n\n\nOh, and coffee always helps. I find that I need the white-noise of a coffee shop, or just warm coffee, to keep me in tune with what's on the screen. ", "When I was at uni, I would read the abstract and jot a brief outline of that, first - with lots of room. Then I used my outline as a guide to read the paper.

Also, if I was reading articles to write my own, the collected outlines served as a massive foundation thought-wide for my finished paper.\n\nGood luck", "Read the abstract, then read the discussion at the end. \n\nAlso subheadings are great, you can determine from the abstract and discussion the points you don't understand, then find that information easily using the subheadings. \n\nMost articles are: 1) Abstract 2) here is what I'm going to do 3) here is what other people think about this topic (literature review), 4) now I do what I say I'm going to do 5) now I discuss the results of doing what I said I was going to do 6) references ", "A few things have helped me with dense articles.

How comfortable are you guys together? Maybe she doesn't want you to see her throw up and maybe she wants you to hold her hair and pat her back.\n\nThose are some things that can and should be discussed at any time that's not during when she's puking her guts out.\n\nKnow what you can and can't do. If you are terrible at cooking, I don't suggest you try to cook for her so that she doesn't feel obligated to eat.\n\nIf she's resting or sleeping, try not to go in and out of the room that she's in as to not disrupt her.\n\nUse key words. Ask, \"what would you like from the store? I could grab soup or medicine or tampons for you?\" instead of \"can I get you something?\" if you guys haven't been dating long, she won't want to burden you. Make suggestions such as, \"I'm going to the store to get some stuff, why don't I pick you up some _________ while I'm there?\" this will make her feel like you're not going out of your way just for her.\n\nOf course, these are just some suggestions I feel are good and it depends on how close you guys are in a relationship already. This definitely also works for girls who wants to take care of their boyfriends too! \n\nI'm married, so I just ask or yell or fart in front of my SO without qualms, but that's just me,", "First and foremost, this is so sweet! I would show her this post- it will probably mean a lot to her that you care so much. \n\nSecondly, think of the little things she loves. For example, she has a signature drink from Starbucks? Get it for her. Grab her that trashy magazine she loves to read or her favorite ice cream.\n\nOffer to make her tea or soup, and make sure to let her know she doesn't need to put any effort towards doing it.\n\nBy the way, Nikki_Angel is totally right about the cuddling- it's nice when you feel gross, but your boyfriend hugs you and tells you how beautiful you are.\n\nFinally, try to distract her- this is a great time to indulge in cat videos, silly picture dumps, or dorky movies.", "Check on her here and there, see if she wants something.

I watched quite a bit of How I Met Your Mother, but I didn't end up finishing that because of how my tastes evolved over time. I realized that I'm not a big fan of laugh tracks on shows, and decided to avoid those with my future choices. This led me to Family Guy, which is now one of my favorite shows.\n...talk about Family Guy and why I enjoy it...\n... Experience of watching Breaking Bad with my dad...\n...watching Bob's Burgers and introducing the show to my sister so I can talk about it with her. Communicating about shows is something that makes them worth watching. It allows people to connect with each other and have something in common...\n...Better Call Saul came out, and I started watching that because of my interest in Breaking Bad. A lot of people want shows to continue because they get attached to the characters and want to know more, so sequels help...\n...I'm a big tennis fan and I live with three other tennis players at college.

So, start off by putting yourself in a dream state. Imagine yourself walking through a fern forest or flying through an ice-covered mountain pass or sailing on a river of chocolate or someother fanciful scene. Don't try to add too much detail or control the story with any sort of plot; just let your mind wander. If you find yourself heading toward reality (\"Oh, this chocolate river reminds me that I need to make a chocolate cake for my cousin's birthday party! Should I get a chocolate cake or just go with fudge frosting?\"), make a hard turn and steer back to fantasy land. Once your subconscious takes over, your body will be relaxed and you'll be on your way to the land of Nod. ", "I just start thinking up a story, the further into it I get, the less I think of trying to sleep. Eventually my mind just wonders off and I'm out like a light", "Avoid light about 30 minutes before bed, light activates the brain and it's going to be harder to fall asleep. If you are on the computer, watch tv etc. lower the brightness. Put the lights out in your apartment/house/room. Also stretching, working out about 2 hours before sleep usually works. \n\nYou shouldn't eat anything after 12 hours since breakfast, this will also help in weight watching, for example if you had breakfast at 7 o'clock on't eat anything after 7 o'clock in the evening.\nAlso it helps if you always have breakfast, lunch and dinner the same time everyday, (this also made me loose 4kg in 2 weeks, Im not fat, 193cm and 85kg) for example breakfast at 7, lunch at 12, dinner at 5. I know it's hard to do if you work a lot and have very different schedules every day but try it! This really helps falling asleep, well for me it does. This one yoga guy told me that he never eats anything after 6pm, and that it really helps. Well it also depends if your going to work out in the evening. But if not, then try not to eat after 6pm because otherwise you will have a lot of extra energy, high sugar/carb food is especially bad!\n\nHope some of this stuff helps :)", "M", "take a melatonin supplement, preferably less than 2mg and put it into a cup of hot white tea and let it melt.

Focus on the blackness you see when you close your eyes and relax. Take deep breaths, hold them in for a couple seconds then exhale. It is important that you breathe with your belly and not your chest. I have found that, for some reason, breathing through the stomach instead of the chest is much more relaxing and helps fall asleep faster. Counting your breaths also helps.\n\nAlso, avoid eating 1 hour before bedtime.", "This is going to sound ridiculous but I've been using it successfully for at least 15 years. I listen to stand up comedy every night.\n\nThe key is that I never listen to new albums. I have a large library of stand up on my iPod. I always listen to albums I've heard before and know pretty well. It takes me less than 10 minutes to fall asleep. The reason, at least in theory, is that I'm listening to something, so my brain isn't actively thinking of things, but I'm not listening all that much, so it falls asleep well.\n\nIf I ever try to do it with a new album, it doesn't work and I end up staying awake until it's over. So I listen to new comedy albums in the car while driving, and to old ones at night before sleep. The key is that it helps my brain let go from working out things like what I'm going to do tomorrow, and then I fall asleep almost immediately.\n\n", "Start free-associating.

DO NOT talk to the other party members about them in front of them, and direct questions about their meal/drinks, etc to them directly. \n\nEven if the person can't communicate directly with you, best practice is still to address them personally rather than the people they are with. It may be that someone else answers on their behalf, but still direct follow up questions to the individual. It seems weird, but they'll probably really appreciate it. The more you interact with them the way you would anyone else, the better. The group they are with should make the necessary accommodations for them themselves, or make requests if necessary. \n\n", "Special Olympics coach here, awesome job recognizing this situation may require a bit more tact than usual. Very noble of you to seek this out.\n\nIn most of my experiences, the family will usually know how to handle the situation. If not maybe try using some more open style phrasing that can allow the individual or the family to answer. \"and what can I get for the young lady\". \n\nIt will be very situation specific, just have patience, because it might take some people longer to talk out order. Smile and keep a positive tone to your voice, depending on the disability/person, they will avoid eye contact and rely heavily on vocal cues. Simple questions are great to establish rapport too. Stick to sports and music, can't really go wrong. Even if you find a customer is non verbal, speak to them directly - \"oh I really like your shirt!\" It goes a long way and everyone likes to be included. :)", "My adult daughter has epilepsy, schizoaffective disorder and tourette's syndrome. She also has a service dog. She is not as profoundly handicapped as many others, but is often treated differently, looked at funny, etc. What she loves is for people to say hi to her, compliment (but don't touch) her dog and ask her about her hair. (she loves dying it herself and it is usually a rainbow of bright colors) She knows what is different about her, she just wants to be accepted and fit in. So basically, when you see someone that is obviously disabled, say hi, smile, give them a chance to interact, or not. If they do not respond (many have social anxiety that prevents it) don't be discouraged, don't push it, just smile and move on. And THANK YOU for caring about people :)", "I have been working in restaurants for my entire working life (22 years) and I have been in management for 15 of those 22. Treat them the same as everyone else. If you address a handicapped person and they can't or don't want to respond, usually there is someone with them who will help you. Sometimes I'll turn up the \"sweetness\" for a disabled young lady by complimenting them on something. I worked at an ice cream shop when I was in college. A man, his son (15ish), and his daughter (9ish and had Down's Syndrome) came through my line. I complimented her on her teddy bear and her t-shirt. They got their ice cream and about 10 minutes later the dad and the daughter came back in and she gave me a hug. The dad had tears in his eyes because she was very shy and she had never hugged a stranger before. That little act of kindness changed that girl's life. Also, remember that those customers with neurological or motor disorders (tourette's, cerebral palsy, muscular dystophy, strokes, etc.) may make a mess, so expect it and don't let the party apologize for a mess. Please treat the disabled as you would any other customer except be a little more sweet, kind, and patient.", "Treat them like a normal human being. Smile, make eye contact, and talk slowly if they have trouble hearing and understanding you. Be patient and encourage them when they try to talk, especially when they may stutter.\n\nSimply treat everyone with dignity and kindness. It may slow you down but it means the world to others.", "Slightly different situation but my brother is severely autistic. In his case, asking my parents what he'd like to eat is easier for us and completely OK, but asking him isn't a problem either-we'll just answer for him.\n\nOn the other hand, with other higher functioning people with autism it would be extremely rude and offensive to not ask them directly.\n\nSo if in doubt, ask them directly for the order, otherwise just try and quicjly judge the situation :)", "Well, so this is awkward. I'm a Special Olympics athlete. The first thing you should do is ALWAYS remember that they're a human. Seriously. I'm a genius socially, and certain people tend to look down on me. It's annoying. \n\nI don't know exactly what you want to know, so I shall address what you could have done. \nSo, you said when you were taking orders you had no clue how to deal with the young lady? If I were you, I would have took a quick visit to /r/rememberthehuman (no offense intended), and asked her directly. If you didn't that would have been insulting.\n\n Now, according to you, she couldn't take her own order? If an individual is similar (unable to take their own order, or communicate), they should have a Personal Assistant nearby, or a family member.

This will feel weird, as you might be used to carrying things around while you decide on options, but unless you're reading the information on the product try to keep them in the cart to minimize item squishing. \n\n2) Bring something you can direct your stress habits at instead of innocent packaged products. My stress habit is more convenient then some (I'm a chronic hair twirler, think what girls do when drunkenly flirting at the bar, but all the time), and I have long hair so this is convenient. My brother has a tendency to to wear a ring with a spinner on it (I've seen them online, it's just a plain metal ring with a spinning bit in the middle). He'll spin the spinner with the idle hand not pushing anything to keep it occupied.\n\n3) Try wearing ear-buds while shopping, and listen to some of your favorite podcasts or music, though maybe not something that hypes you up. While my hype music may make me feel less depressed, I have noticed it increased my tendency to use my anxious ticks, and I have better success just listening to something that sort of vaguely holds my attention. Current go-to choices are NPR or classical music. While this won't keep your hands occupied, it will hopefully lessen your need to do self comforting habits in the first place. \n\nSounds like you're making really good progress in identifying issues, things are gonna be hard and any of the important changes are going to feel REALLY weird at first. I know that when I started making a couple of them to mitigate my own self-comforting habits it almost felt like leaving the house and thinking I didn't lock the door, just that subtle nagging in the back of my mind that made it difficult to relax.

When you're constantly trying to MAKE yourself feel tired, you tend to actively do the opposite. People who have trouble sleeping often find that trying to stay awake does the trick, and the opposite is often helpful as well, for me at least.\n\nHope this helps. Obviously you want to make sure that your first priority is being able to safely see the road and operate the vehicle. Staying awake is secondary, as strange as that might seem.

They also don't have utilities running to those rooms because no one is going to live there.

Who does repairs? How timely are they when it comes to repairs? How much is the down payment? and there are hundreds more, just Google \"apartment questions\" you want to ask as many questions as possible, and get everything in writing.\n\nMost importantly, READ THE CONTRACT! Always read the contract, you don't care if he/she has to sit there for an hour while you read. They will sit there and be happy.

I mean take it with a grain of salt, but at least you can get an idea what to look for (i.e. if the person talks about mold you can check out your future apartment for mold under the sinks, by the shower). The other thing is to look up crime stats in the city your are going to. Some sites have crime heat maps. ", "Here are some things that can ruin your enjoyment of living in your apartment.\n\nNoise. Visit the complex on a Saturday night when it is most likely to be noisy. Even if you just sit in your car in the parking lot, you can usually tell if you will have noisy neighbours. If you like to party, it may not be an issue for you. \n\nProblems with neighbours. Talk to residents of the complex you want to move into. Ask if they have any issues with the complex, the landlord/caretaker or their neighbours. \n\nMaintenance. Like many of the poster said, ask to see the apartment you will actually be moving into. Ask who has control over the heat/AC. Some older buildings have steam heat that is only on for certain times during the year. They turn it on in the spring and off in the fall. This can be problematic if there is a cold spring or warmer fall. Ask your potential neighbours if they have any problems with heating/cooling or maintenance in general. There is no point asking the landlord. They will not tell you the truth. They want you to move in and won't tell you anything that is negative.\n\n", "Read online reviews. That generally gives you a solid idea of tenants and management. LOCATION. Just like anything, the more you pay, the nicer the apartment... less maintenance problems.

If it rolls towards the middle of the room, there may be structural issues. Check the bathtub with a marble. It should slope down towards the drain, or you will have standing water.\n\nGo on a weeknight after dark. How many common area lights have inoperable bulbs? Are curbs/steps clearly marked? If the stairs are exterior, check the tread. They will protect you during rain, snow and carrying heavy items up & down the stairs.\n\nHow loud is it during the weekday? If it's pretty quiet, most residents have jobs or are day-sleepers. If it's raucous, there may be a lot of residents with too much free time. \n\nGo early on a Saturday morning. How much garbage is around? What kind? If you are in OKC, it's 50% the wind's fault. If somewhere less windy, it's the tenants' faults. Broken glass, beer cans, dirty diapers, etc. are bad signs.\n\nLook at the sample lease. Look at the list of rules. Walk around and see if those rules are enforced. Cars up on blocks, dogs walking unleashed, trash piled outside of doors...these are often prohibited. If no one enforces them though, they are useless. \n\nCars and parking: you don't want your car to be much nicer or much worse than your neighbors. Is parking assigned? Assigned but with a fee?\n\nIf you get your own space, call local tow companies to find out their policy on towing. Some won't tow from private lots unless the manager calls. Good luck with that. Some tow if you can prove someone is in your spot. The problem with that is whomever is towed knows who called it in, and where to find your car for revenge vandalism. \n\nI used to call local PDs for info, but the Chamber of Commerce Association in many cities have made it impossible for police to tell the truth about this stuff as it's bad for business.

Talk to a driver who's been there six months (delivering, not just baking). \n\nWhat does s/he have to say about that neighborhood and how safe it is? How many blocked/no-delivery apartments are in that complex? If there are a few blocked apartments (in the pizza chain database), that is a bad sign. It takes a lot to get a customer blocked. \n\nDrive around the local area. If there are a lot of pawn shops, tattoo/massage parlors, bail-bondsmen, strip clubs and/or quick loan places: you are either near a military base or a questionable part of town. \n\nAnd finally, sniff around each building. You may be ok with pot, but how about strongly-scented ethnic cooking? Dirty diapers? For some reason this is a huge problem in some areas. Dog poo? Scents from nearby businesses. Cookie factory - very good! Local slaughterhouse - not so good.\n\nCheck the tops of the fan blades, the drawer under the stove, and the seals on the fridge for cleanliness. It's a good indicator of how well management takes care of the place.\n\nIf a fridge comes with the place, put a dollar bill in the door seals and see if you can pull it out when the door is closed. If you can, the seals are not efficient and will cost you more in electricity. \n\nFinally, when you move in, document & photograph EVERYTHING!

If something is wrong or needs to be fixed, how long of a wait could I typically expect?\n\nWhat specials do you currently have? (NOTE: Do not fall for look and lease specials.

", "The great thing about the first day of school is that everyone is kind of nervous and a little lost, so you really won't be out of place, even if you feel that way. Try to keep that in mind and it will be a little less intimidating.\n\nGet involved in after school activities--sports are a great way to meet people in a low pressure environment, because you have another activity to do that generally doesn't require a ton of talking (at least not at first.) clubs can also be helpful, but if I had to do High School over again, I'd go heavy on the sports.\n\nAlso, there's nothing wrong with having been home schooled. You don't need to hide it, nor do you need to apologize for it. Most people will be curious about it, (source: was homeschooled for kindergarten and first grade. People found it interesting, even though there wasn't much to talk about for those grades) but a few will be assholes. Part of that is human nature, but most of it is that high school can be monumental assholes at times. Most people grow out of that, though. \n\nAlso: make sure you aren't a monumental asshole, even to your parents, which can be challenging at times. Remember that they love you more than they can even express, and even when they are frustrating or overreact, you don't get to pull any asshole moves. (This one is kind of life advice, but \"Don't be an asshole,\" has been solid guidance in my life--hopefully it will serve you well, too.)\n\nBe kind to people, and try not to be shy or \"too cool.\" You'll miss out on so many fun things if either of those are the case (for instance, my high school did a thing where we decorated our halls thematically for homecoming, instead of floats. It sounds sort of rah rah school spirit, and maybe kind of lame, but those are still some of my favorite memories from high school. I wish I'd found more ways to participate like that.)\n\nHave fun!", "i've been out of high school for 10 years now. \n\nbest advice: always be authentic. \n\n\n\ndon't worry about finding your \"group\" immediately. if you stay true to yourself and keep a positive outlook people will be drawn to you. just chill out for the first few weeks and you'll see what i mean. when i started HS i was so worried about being everybody's friend and instead of coming off as nice, which was my plan, i came off as a weirdo that didn't know how to give people space. once i backed off and did my own thing a couple of students started conversations naturally in class and at lunch. those students became my closest friends for years\n\nobviously you'll have conflicts and issues with other students but, for the most part, know that it really has nothing to do with you as a person. high school is a really strange time for a lot of people. be honest, do well academically and don't take yourself too seriously. you'll do fine tomorrow!", "It sounds dumb, but honestly, try to just be yourself. If you are, you'll attract people with similar interests to you who will be awesome to be friends with. Other than that, try to be kind to everyone. Sometimes people have bad days and a smile or quick \"hello\" can go a long way. Good luck kiddo :)", "I know I'm a day late, but being someone who was 100% homeschooled up until 7th grade, I figure I have some tips.\n\nSince you're starting public school as a sophomore, there's always going to be that group of kids who know each other really well. Sometimes, it'll seem like *the entire class* already knows each other, and that might be true. So for the first week or so, just people-watch. Stay away from the punks, they're pretty easy to pick out - disrespectful (eye-rolling the teacher and other student's presentations/ideas), never seem to take notes/study but still get reasonable or excellent grades. The girls gossip/talk nasty about others behind their backs. They'll leave you hanging and cannot be trusted, so just steer clear and avoid that trouble.\n\nDon't do stuff you aren't interested in, such as being in sports when you'd rather be in a chess club. School is easier when you're actually interested in the classes you're taking. Yeah, there's graduation requirements that are more boring than watching paint dry, but having classes you enjoy at least give you something to look forward to.\n\nDon't be fake. Don't try to be popular, don't try to be cool. Don't hang out with someone just so you look good. If you don't like a person, don't hang around them or try to keep up a conversation. They'll eventually get the point.\n\nBe respectful - this one's huge. Pay attention in class and keep your phone in your bag. Take good notes, put effort into your studies, and always be nice to the teachers. Whether or not they admit it, they'll notice; if you're usually a really good student and you out-of-the-blue get a really low grade on an essay, there's a much better chance that you'll get to redo it.\n\nRespect applies to other students as well. When group projects come around, don't laugh at someone's lame idea. However if it won't work, make sure they know that. Everyone hates presentations, so don't be the kid who's snickering in the back at their well-put presentation because it really does undermine their confidence.\n\nIf you're introverted (like me), someone will probably reach out to you before you reach out to someone. If you had the time to people-watch that person, this will either be a good thing or a bad thing. You don't want to be friends with punks, and if any of them start getting chummy with you there's trouble ahead. Especially if you're \"the smart one\", you'll get people trying to be your \"friend\" so they can sit next to you and try to cheat.\n\nWhich brings me to my next point: Don't. Cheat. Ever. Don't copy someone's homework, don't copy their test, don't even use the same idea/point-of-view for an essay or research paper. You can't cheat your way through life, otherwise you're going to be the idiot who can't get through college because you can't figure out Algebra, let alone the actual college classes. Also, you'll probably end up cheating off of the *one person* who will catch it and report you to the teacher.\n\nStory Time: A girl cheated off of me last year for a Biology test, and nothing ticks me off more than cheating. I'm considered a smart person, mainly because I actually put effort into my work and get high grades. So this girl (whom I considered an acquaintance because we never really clicked) suddenly became interested in being my \"friend\", and started sitting across from me. (Our Biology class was at big rectangular tables, four kids at a table/2 on each side, so we were facing each other)\n\nDuring our notes on Punnett Squares I noticed out of the corner of my eye that she kept glancing up/over at my notes. No big deal, I figured she just wanted to make sure she was getting her squares right, because if you mess up there's tons of erasing and rewriting involved. Then I got sick, and was gone for part of the unit on DNA. A few weeks later in the test, I noticed she was looking at my test. I didn't want to cry wolf, I'd feel really bad if she wasn't actually cheating. So to make sure, I flipped to the back page of the test (the DNA part I was sick during) and filled in an answer that I actually knew.\n\nA few seconds passed. She flipped over her test. Subtle glance up. Filled in exact same question. I flipped back, small pause, she flips to same page. After everyone left at the end of class, I turned her slimy soul over to the teacher and she failed the test. So yeah, don't cheat. And don't be afraid to name names to the teacher. Email works if you aren't brave enough to do face to face (I was fueled by rage at the time, it can be a wonderful thing).\n\nAaaaand that is probably one of my longest posts, but I'm done now.

Yeah, pretend that this is how your ears work, imagine, when somebody speaks to you, their individual words bouncing off parts of your ear, and being filtered in, really try to pick up on where the noise is coming from exactly, how nasal/glottal they sound, their tone, this will not only make you seem interested and become engaged in conversation but you'll become a lot more alert with minimal effort as long as you make it a habit. People will put aside time to talk to you because you're now a fucking great listener, and people are selfish.\n\n- Eye contact, this isn't the easiest for most of us, but try looking directly between someones eyes when you/they speak, this way, people know you are speaking directly to them, no matter how shy you are, you will appear direct, it's always best to do this with a warm smile and a calm gaze so as to not seem too confrontational.\n\n- This is super important. Make sure your words have weight, visualise what you're saying, how would this make the most emotional man in the world react? Give your words belief and value and the emotion will come, you have to believe in what you're saying before anyone else will.\n\n- Silence, one of the best tools a good speaker will use, avoid \"umm, like, yeah so\" and replace with silence, you filter out your own background noise and give your listeners a chance to consolidate what you have just said, albeit a small break of 1-2 seconds, that's all the brain needs. You'll also get cut off a lot less because people will subconsciously pick up on this manner of speech as importance (In Shakespeare, the higher class a character is, the more pauses they take, it's for good reason)\n\n- You're also born with a pair of hands, these are fantastic tools for speech when you really need to bring a point home or emphasise something, you don't need to stretch your voice far, as long as you can convey your feeling kinetically.\n\n- Lastly, volume and timbre, you don't have to be loud to be heard! You don't have to be all over the place with your tone! Stephen Hawking speaks in 4/5 tones (probably about 10 times less than the average person) and yet people would kill to hear what he has to say.

Also leaves no scent, so no trouble with pets re-using the spot or having that odor of cleaning supplies around.", "You can’t get dog urine odor out of carpet, there is no miracle. A spray may reduce the smell but it doesn’t get rid of it, it’s just faint enough for you to get used to and unable to smell. I’ve had dogs my entire life and tried anything and everything, baking soda and vinegar even has very little effect. The only real fix is new carpet. Anyone not living in your home will notice it regardless of what you use because they aren’t accustomed to the odor.", "Odoban - most reliably found at Home Depot. It's what we use in the vet clinic I work at...after using it at home (2 dogs, 3 cats, 1 toddler), I'll never use anything else. ", "Kids n Pets enzyme cleaner. Helps with stains and odors. Very reasonably priced. Available at W-Mart and on Amazon. There is a spray and a concentrated gallon available. Also they have a great carpet powder deodorizer. ", "I've always used this stuff. It was a friends dad's company and it's been amazing! http://cleananything.com/urine-rx.html", "I train dogs, and usually have 8-14 at my house at any given moment. I use Odoban because its safe for pets, and works. Spray it, let it soak for a min, then suck it up with a carpet cleaner.", "I swear by this stuff; [Fizzion](http://www.fizzionclean.com/) \n \nBest working product in my personal experience with cat and dog urine. \nMake sure you get to the stain / puddle ASAP while it's still wet so you can blot up ALL the moisture. As others suggested, use a towel and stand on it. (I jump too ha) \n \nThen I clean the stain itself with just some regular carpet cleaner and water. I let it dry then attack it with Fizzion. Usually works the first time. \n \nIf it's older, you'll want to saturate it a bit to be able to pull as much of it out of the carpet or fabric as possible. Then do the above steps. Sometimes multiple treatments with Fizzion is needed for really tough / old spots. \n \nI love this stuff.

Then, put a white rag over top, and press down to soak up excess, and leave it like that until dry. \n\n\n", "For those of you who have tried everything and nothing has worked......\n\nYou are most likely dealing with *marking pee*, which is very different from bladder relieving urine.\n\nI've been where you are. My 100lb Dobermann (rest his soul) took cover on my brand new leather sofa and peed after hearing fireworks. I'm talking about an endless stream too. I quickly moved into action and went to work with both white vinegar and Nature's Miracle and the smell practically vanished after 24 hours. I have a 19lb Crestepoo that marked two floor corners where that couch sits, and even though the urine had not set for more than two hours I couldn't get the smell out of the carpet for anything. I tried steam cleaning with oxy cleaners, Nature's Miracle enzymatic formula, Resolve, peroxide and water, baking soda, white vinegar, Dawn dish soap and water......and still nothing. *Nada*. *Nilch*. *Zilch*. Well, except for an even stronger stench of urine plus a heavy chemical deodorizing smell from each of the products. And let me tell you, the enzymatic cleaners are *the worst*. They break down the urine alright. They just don't remove the smell, but then again, we are dealing with marking pee here.\n\n>What works to get the smell of marking pee out is peroxide. Not peroxide and water, just plain ole' non-diluted peroxide. You have to soak the areas of the carpet with it. I would advise treating a test spot to make sure the peroxide doesn't cause a dye change, and if it doesn't, soak away. You need to soak the area so that the peroxide goes all the way down into the carpet penetrating the padding, as this is most likely what the marking pee has done. The smell is lifted almost immediately. Let it dry overnight and if you still smell pee the next day, repeat in the areas that need it, but I guarantee you that the smell will be at least 75% lighter. It may take a few tries but it's the only thing that will work and will not leave the carpet smelling like chemically-perfumed funk.", "Folex carpet and upholstery cleaner. We use it at home and we use it at the wildlife conservatory. You can find it at many supermarkets or at Home Depot.", "First, take a towel place it on the urine stain and STAND on it and work it back and forth with both feet. Move the towel around until is no longer blotting up any more urine. Next, treat with Nature's miracle or some other enzyme treatment. Let it stand for at least an hour. Blot again then use a carpet cleaner to wet and vacuum up the remains.\n", "First of all I know I'm late but I hope this helps :D. I install carpet for my work and we deal with dog urine all the time. The urine is still going to be soaked into your carpet rather you know it or not. My best advice is to have the carpet changed. On the padding or flooring spray some Enzyme's.

I am 36 myself, so not old or young, but something in between. \n\n1 - Try sticking with one hobby for at least a full year or two. Don’t give up right away. I gave up painting after 6 years when I was 15, but I was thinking of restarting again after 20 years now that I’m 36 and the cost is not an issue anymore. Creative hobbies are like relationships. They’re not always fun and games, they suck sometimes too. I love playing guitar and composing music, but it REALLY sucks sometimes when you are in a rut. But I stuck with it, and I’ve been making music now for +15 years. \n\n2 - Insecurity is just lack of confidence and caring too much. For me, what gave me confidence was Tinder. I remember reading that the turn down rate for guys (from girls) is approximately 95%, which is insanely high. What if your crush turns you down on Tinder? Can you move on with your life even if your crush turned you down? Sure you can. Show must go on, there are new opportunities in this big world.

It seems like you have symptoms of depression. Often when I'm depressed I don't have interest in things I usually do, or lose motivation to try new things. Practicing mindfulness will be helpful. To not care about what people think, this is what I do: I tell myself its none of buisness what goes on in someone's mind, and I evaluate how their judgment affects me, my family, and my future. Most of the time, it doesn't. Your taste in music doesn't change any of that. Someone doesn't like it? Okay, cool. I don't like a lot of shit either lol. People judge, we're wired to do it. You have to accept that. You may be doing to much at once. Routine is helpful. Try one new thing for 6 weeks, make it routine, and start something else after. Example: you want abs AND want to start jogging. First six weeks you get into a routine of 25 sit ups after breakfast. That's what you do for 6 weeks or until it's normal for you. After that, work on jogging. My best motivation is to just do it. I know it sounds dumb, but just do it. You'll whine, complain, but once it's over you'll feel better. Kinda like going to work.

Sometimes that's the biggest barrier in people's lives. It's also great that you want to improve. I think people should always be looking for ways to expand on themselves.\nAs to things you've mentioned, feels to me like anxiety is making you react instead of responding. Try focusing on one aspect that you want to improve. It can be overwhelming to change many things at once. For example, notice next time you reply to someone rudely, don't make yourself feel bad, just make a note to breathe before response next time. It will give your brain time to catch up to the words that come out automatically. May take months or years, but you'll rewire your brain to be more mindful when speaking with others. \nHope this helps!", "1st Remember what you liked in the past. I get tired of something amd move on to the other but luckily i now found 2/3 things i rotate between (for example, my interests are with 1 thing for a few months and than i will move on to the other and eventuallycome backt to the first).\n\nConfidence is hard, still for me too. I recently lost alot of weight what has boosted my confidence alot but that is very specific of course. I trie being that guy that alway helps other people if you can. And if you want to speak to someone start with smiling. Smili always gives a poster vibe an lowers the tension. And if you found something you are interested in trie leeding a conversation with someone there (if its a bit related).

You already mentioned it so big thumbs up for that, don't wait till January. Start today!\n\n2. Gym is not for everyone, I personally hate it. Find activities that make you happy. It may be some classes at your gym, it may be running, martial arts or swimming. Your aim should not be to attend the gym, it should be to increase the amount of your exercise, however you do it.\n\n3. What I found work the best for me is to do body-weight exercises at home. Get yourself a pull up bar and mount it somewhere you go past very often (I have one in my kitchen doorway). Every time you go past do 1 or 2 pull-ups, do press ups, squats crunches whenever you have few spare minutes. It all adds up, you don't need an hour long session with expensive equipment to start with.\n\n4. Eliminate all processed foods. if it's already made and ready to whack into microwave it's most likely bad for you. It's also easier to control sugar intake if you know exactly what's in your food.\n\n5. What also worked for me is intermittent fasting. From the very basic one (not eating after 6pm!) to more advanced giving you 4 to 6 hours eating window during the day. I still do 48 hours fasting once every few months.\n\n6. Have a plan B. Many NY resolutions are based on strict rules (I will go to gym 3 times per week) and many people will abandon their resolution after first failed week. My suggestion would be to have \"backup\" resolutions. I will go to the gym 3 times per week but if I can't I will not end up on the sofa with tube of ice cream feeling sorry for myself but will go for a walk/run/swim or do some exercises at home.\n\nGood luck!

The most common sleep variant is the biphasic \"siesta\" - a midday nap. \n\nNapping allows \"recharging\" and a number of other benefits, but it also shrinks your core block of sleep.

IMHO, the biggest benefit of full polyphasic is the most lasting one: retraining your brain to sleep quickly.

After all, it is in essence nap training, which is about falling asleep quickly and getting rest with minimal sleep inertia. \n\nSwitching to polyphasic means either harsh deprivation to acclimate rapidly, or gradually shifting your cycle over a prolonged period of mild deprivation/ nap shifting.

I've got better things to think about. What I can, however, vouch for is that we're fucking dense as hell. It's really important to not be coy or play games if you're interested in a dude, because we (or at least I) will ALWAYS assume you're just being nice. Just tell us if you're into us. In fact, ask *us* out, cause it's terrifying as hell for me.\n\n\nAs a dude with mondo anxiety, a girl who actively attempts to start conversation is my dream. It'll likely take me a few months to approach someone I'm interested in, if I do it at all. We love it when you talk to us. Actually, just be as straightforward as you can. If a girl went in to kiss me, I'd lose my shit. In a good way. (Only do this in appropriate situations, of course.)\n\n\nDudes don't get enough compliments. I realize we enjoy a whole buffet of other privileges, but I'm really starved for affection over here. Give me literally anything to go off of and I'll probably be thinking about it, and you, all day.\n\n\nFinal note: Yeah, he probably thinks you're cute. All girls are cute, always.", "Hey there! I'm 18 too so hopefully I can give a perspective that's relevant for you.\n\nIf he's really interested in you, he'll ask questions that go beyond normal small talk. Those will happen too because they still have to but he'll keep showing an interest in learning more about you. Having an interest in your friends and family is also a good sign. \n\nSome bad signs would be him trying to make you blow off previous obligations or spend less time with other people you're close too. The relationship should better your life, not make you give it up.\n\n\nIf you're actively looking for someone, a decent way is to pick the right kind of environment. It isn't a perfect rule because people have different sides, but it's generally a safer bet to have a little relaxed date with a guy you met during a book club meeting or study hall rather than at a random party at college (which I'm assuming you're about to start). Like I said, it's not perfect by any stretch, but where you choose to look can help at least guarantee some qualities.\n\n\nLastly, someone here said that sex will definitely be on the guy's mind. It will be. Is it the only thing? For some guys yes but hopefully not all you meet. Reality is that if you don't end up with someone who's asexual, they're definitely going to be interested in sex in some capacity.", "If he likes you, he will make the effort to get to know you rather than to get with you. How you like your coffee, what your favourite movie is etc.\nIf he really cares, he will call and arrange to go out with you and do something fun. If he messages asking to come over to your place, he's most likely interested in one thing. \n\nTake your time, and be sure to put your own feelings first. If you're not sure if he's good for you, he probably isn't!", "If a guy doesn't take no for an answer, that is a red flag. If a dude is jealous and tries to keep you from going out with your other friends, or press you to cancel other plans to be with him- red flag. If he pushes you around, grabs your arm, is otherwise forceful- red flag. If he puts you down verbally- red flag. \n\nYou want a partner that treats you with respect. That gives you the freedom to have your own rich independent life, and he, his. Anything else is a disservice to you both. Basically, you are two people having a conversation. You are testing for two things (if looking for marriage) 1) physical chemistry and sexual comparability 2) ideology/ personality compatibility. You can have a guy that is totally hot but unsuitable for religious beliefs- he is a no go. ", "Good evening, cloudlesness!\n\nLots of great stuff in this thread already, so some of what I'm about to say is going to be a little redundant. For context, I'm 30 and male.\n\nThere are two things I'll address as underlying statements. First, you said in one of your comments that it seems like guys are 'total aliens'. We're different, but we're not aliens. Ultimately, guys want the exact same thing as girls do - to be loved, cared for, appreciated, desired, and respected. The implementations are different, but the root is the same.\n\nThe second thing I'll address is the sex thing. Guys think about sex, but a guy worth dating will spend more time thinking about *you*. You said you were waiting until marriage. Rock on! I made it to just-before-27, but did not make it to the altar (incredibly long story not fit for Reddit). At the very least, you're not ready *now*. The guy you're dating should respect that. At the very least, you know that if he's pressuring by the second date that will tell you approximately everything you need to know about how he feels.\n\nWith that, let's go through the stages:\n\n1. \"Does he like me\"?\nMaybe. As much as we give girls a hard time for hinting or being vague, guys do it as well. If you want to know, ask. Even at that, it won't be that simple. At one point, I found myself in a de facto relationship with a girl I didn't have feelings for, because I knew her feelings were very strong and that just telling it like it was was a guaranteed way to hurt her very badly. If you want to know, ask, but do so with the understanding that the answer you get may not go your way, and make it known that it's okay for him to answer honestly (also, ensure you're in a place where, if you say it, you mean it). On the other hand, if there is mutual interest, \"so then, would you like to go on a date?\" is a pretty simple jump from there, no matter who asks.\n\nBut let's assume he's interested...\n\n2. Arranging the date.\nAgain, be up-front about what you're looking for. Good company means chatting at Starbucks until they close can be a lot of fun, and doesn't cost a fortune. If a particular day/time doesn't work for you, offer an alternative, \"I'm busy Friday night, but Saturday I'm free after 2\" shows interest and a willingness to overcome logistical issues, and to coordinate. Make sure you coordinate transportation and where you're meeting. I had an awkward moment once when \"See you at 8\", for me, meant \"at the restaurant\", whereas to her it meant \"at her house\". If you've got an allergy or strong preference, make it known. Finally, discuss what needs to be worn - one time I was on a date with a girl and didn't specify, and I didn't quite think through the fact that laser tag might not be the most enjoyable activity in 4\" stilettos. Coordinate.\n\n3. Date night: The discussion.\nIt's the big night! I'd say \"be yourself\", but that phrase sucks in this context. Let me break it down: If you like Twilight, say so! You've got hundreds of posts on Reddit, ask if he's been here and whether he has a favorite subreddit. There are certain topics that are best not discussed on a first date (exes, bodily functions, family drama, and the old stalwarts of religion and politics), but remember - you're looking to find someone with common interests. Keeping discussion to \"the weather\" and \"this is nice\" is going to ensure the date is more awkward than it need be. As much as I hate using movie clips...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7dMnP4QbhU. The date sucked until they discovered their common love for Lord of the Rings. There's no reason for you to just assume he doesn't like something you're into, but do see how the interest goes. Does he ask follow-up questions, or does he say \"uh huh, that's nice\"? The reverse holds true as well, and if he spends ten minutes talking about a subject you've got no interest in, you've been nice; there's no shame in politely asking to switch topics (though if you do so, the onus will generally be on you to come up with a mutually agreeable one). Also in this category, phone usage. Everyone gets texts regularly. Responding to one or two quickly is just living in 2017; I personally don't hold it against someone for doing so. Responding to more than 3 is \"there needs to be a good explanation\", and being buried in his phone = either he's not that into you, or he's a jerk.\n\n4. Date night: The food and check.\nThis is where things get very subjective, and where I'm very much discussing my personal opinions and experiences. Many people feel that 'going Dutch' (i.e. each person covering their own part of the bill) is the 2017 standard, where as others are bigger fans of alternating (\"next time is on you\"). Still others are cool with the more traditional expectations of the guy picking up the check. Decide what you're comfortable with, but unless you feel that there are strings attached or that it's intended to pressure you, if the guy you're with wants to cover the check, consider it a compliment and a means of expressing value and appreciation. Personally, I plan ahead. If I'm going on a date with a girl, I carry $200 cash in my pocket, but not every guy does, and while a second date may well be justifiably declined if you're stuck picking up the check, it's probably worth your while to be prepared. \n\n5. End of night.\nThis is arguably the simplest part of the evening, because it's generally pretty direct. If you didn't have a great time, it'll almost guaranteed be obvious by then so you probably won't need to say \"I had a great time\" when you didn't. Feel free to ask if he'd like to do it again if you do, or decline if he asks and you don't. Even if he responds poorly to 'no', you're home. If you do want to get together, \"I'll text you\" is generally pretty straightforward.\n\n\nUltimately, enjoy the evening. You haven't committed to be anyone's girlfriend, it's just a night out getting to know someone and seeing what develops.\n\nBest of luck!!\n\n(", "Well some guys are worth the trust. Do not judge a book by its cover. Get him to do some stuff for you first like telling him you like something then ask for it. If he remembers, he is worth it.

WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU LIKE TO EAT. You can say you like Italian for example but not like some of the fancier italian places that are chains (Maggianos for example). Be upfront about everything, say if you don't like something, say what you want. If you guys have been talking before the date, and the conversations have ended up being sexual, yes obviously the guy is thinking about sex on the first date. For example, I went on a date with a girl I met online and before hand our conversations were sometimes sexual. With my girlfriend our conversations were not sexual at all, and on the first date, it wasn't even on my mind. ", "Pay for your own meal. I never understood why the guys have to pay for everything.

Have fun!!", "I'm a 26 year old guy who's been quite shy for the better part of my life, but have also become much better at socializing. Here's some advice I can think of:\n\n1) Yes, men think a lot about sex, but most of the time it's just an instinctive thing, especially at your age. So most guys will picture you naked, but their reactions to it will vary wildly depending on their experience and age (ranging from \"wtf brain?!\", over \"sweet Jesus I hope that happens\", to \"huh? Oh right\").\n\n2) Don't think that men think more about sex than women; women also have urges and most likely whether a woman thinks more about sex than a man depends on their personalities most of all. In other words, don't be afraid to explore your own sexuality! And don't care about the people who think it's a slutty thing to do; it's your life and nobody has any right to tell you not to have sex with a consenting partner.\n\n3) But don't have sex with someone if you don't want to (and don't get pushed into doing some things you don't want to do either). It's important that you take care of yourself here and set limits. Those limits may move over time (which is fine) but be aware of them still.\n\n4) Expecting a guy to make the next move can be fine, but don't expect a lot of grace at your age. They're all as new and inexperienced as you are and the only way to get better is with experience.\n\n5) Women making the first move is a huge plus! Everyone likes it when someone puts in effort on their behalf, and making the first move is a really big thing 🙂", "Hold him to the standard you would hold yourself too. Really. \n\nIf you really cared for him. Would you ask him to speak with you instead of his friends and family? \n\nWould you tell him to spend all his time with you when he told you he really wanted to see his pal Joe this week? \n\nFurthermore, don't let people tell you to scoff at the idea of a coffee for a first date.

There is not simple answer. There is not magic routine. There is no \"silver bullet\". It is a process. A process which most people believe is to difficult, and eventually choose to slide back into passive numbness, which every once in a while descends into psychotic breakdowns which usually remain unspoken off. There is no \"comfortable numbness\".\n\n2)The world doesn't care about your happiness. This is a bitter truth with a silver lining. When you are down and out, very few people will be drawn to you. No one likes to hear other people's problems. The people who care about you want to hear them and lift you up, but other people don't. Its not that people don't like *you*, its that people dislike sadness. The silver lining is that once become happy enough, positive people are actually drawn to you and keep you healthy. You just have to break through the gravitational pull of depression and the illusion of rejection. \n\n3) STOP JUDGING. This is the key right here. Actually I take back what I wrote earlier, this is the silver bullet. Although its actually more of a long and tedious process. The root of evil is Pride and fear is the poison of the heart. REMEMBER THIS. Analyzing our surroundings is essential for survival and health both physical and emotional. However judgments are fear-based, or pride-based. When you see a cute girl walk by and you think \"wow she is hot\" you are then raising her above you and taking a tiny chunk out of your emotional well-being. The opposite being judging someones appearance negatively which results in you unknowingly becoming fearful of someone judging just like you did. So you have to grow to love everyone for who they are. You don't have to be liked by everyone, and you don't have to like everything about everyone, but judging makes you judge them for their worst while neglecting the best, and creates a fear that others do so because you know you do.\n\n4) Listen to God's calling. This one is the most important. God is incredibly real. Despite the distorted perception that the modern media sells, God is all about love and happiness. Jesus brought the manual on how to create, keep, and appreciate love. Nothing less. If you ever want to be truly fulfilled, you have to realize that Jesus wasn't about banning homosexual marriage and birth control, which is the perspective that is implied by atheists. Jesus was all about love. Sins are not rules to keep us in fear, sin is the word used to describe actions that are emotionally unhealthy. Remember the fear and pride thing? When you fear being judged by someone, its because you fear they might be proud and judge how you look, dress, or talk. When you sin, you not only hurt yourself but others.\n\nIf anyone needs me elaborate, clarify, or add onto this wall of text just reply.

However, we did see a couple of spots that we completely fell in love with, applied, but they were looking for a Feb 1-15 start date. It crushed me to have to let go places that I really loved and was so excited about. My realtor advised me to not start looking until Feb 1st for this reason, but we started looking earlier and I have to admit that he was right.\n\nIt appears that everything is so fast paced. Especially in my area (Miami), listings get put up and next day they are taken. Especially since we are looking for brand new/remodeled apartments, they get taken up very quickly.\n\nMy recommendations would be, start looking as soon as you want if you want to get an idea of what's out there and how much you should offer.

This gives me, and the apartment complex, time to process all the paperwork. I start packing up my crap about a month out, starting with clothes, and ending with toiletries. Depending on where you go, and how far in advance you look, you can get some nice deals, and you'll have a better choice on move in dates. (which can usually be changed a few days either way to suit you) getting all the paperwork done a week or two in advance gives you more time to pack, since you're not running around getting money orders, notarising things, or dealing with random stuff. \n\nI also like to overlap my move in/out days by 2-5 days, which gives me enough time to move, and to make doubly sure something isn't weird in either apartment.

This requires you to be able to think, on the fly, in an orderly fashion--you need to be continuously thinking a point or two in advance of what's currently coming out of your mouth. Talking and thinking at the same time doesn't come naturally to many people, and most peoples' language and logic processes step all over each other when trying to get a point across in public.\n\nBut by exhaustively practicing logical arguments in writing, you can not only build up a repertoire of topics you can speak intelligently about, but also become more familiar with the logical structures of language (think IF-THEN statements and whatnot), and how ideas progress linguistically (think of the transition words and phrases: *therefore, however, insofar as, nonetheless*). Once these things become a second nature, you will likely find that it's much easier to get your words out without having to constantly backtrack, rephrase, or correct yourself. And of course as soon as you start getting better at getting your point across, your confidence improves, and then all of those fight-or-flight, natural inhibitory responses to speaking publicly start interfering less and less.

The most important thing is knowing WHEN to be articulate.\n\nAll communication between humans has unsaid things laced underneath; they are little signs, some which are intentionally given and some which are not. These signs are used like passwords or keys to get into a club, or social group. The key for proper communication is being able to subconsciously determine which social groups someone is a member of and adjust yourself accordingly, and to consciously make the decision to learn more about those you're speaking to so that you can fine-tune your adjustments based on fact rather than assumptions.\n\nJokes, memes, accents, body language, and vocabulary are all extremely important things to look at when you're making adjustments. In general, older people are more impressed with a controlled accent, focused body posture, and your knowledge base (phrases in French, trivia, old sayings, etc). Younger people are more accepting of informal speech and in fact, they expect it in many situations and feel uncomfortable with older vocabularies and accents. They also receive focused body posture well but they don't hype it up like older folks do; it's more of their natural response. And younger people are more interested in your ability to FIND and USE knowledge (particularly for humor) than how much you have. We aren't so impressed by a knowledge base when we can just use Google.\n\nThose are simply examples. There are thousands of little things that you probably already do subconsciously. What you need to do to improve is engage your conscious mind. Spend this next year actively trying to pander to people and adjusting yourself (in the short term) to meet their desires. You will fail occasionally. You may be uncomfortable with how far you take things and the results you achieve when you do. You may end up accidentally changing yourself as a result of such an experiment. But afterwards, you will have an understanding which will stick with you till you die.\n\nRight now though, the worst thing you can do is assume that using big words will make you sound smart. Using every word well is much more important. No one cares much about the things you do right; they care far more about the things you do wrong. Don't make any mistakes and success will follow.", "I'm generally not very articulate, but there have been periods where this was not the case. What helped me out (when I cared enough to try and fix it) was writing down what I meant to say after the fact. Say I said something and people didn't understand what I meant... I'd go home and, taking my time, write out exactly what I meant to say. Over time it translates in to being more articulate when you're face to face. ", "I would start reading the classics, like Steinbeck, Orwell, Dostoyevsky, and Dickens. The more complex in syntax and diction, the better.

You want to sound natural, I think. Listening to NPR when I drive to work and home gives me a good overview of the news plus interesting in-depth topics that I can discuss with people who enjoy discussing current events.\n\nIf I know I'm going to be discussing a particular technical area (I have several jobs at work), I'll review publications in that area before having those conversations, as it reminds me of the vocabulary and topics that might be raised.\n\nI also think that it's important to address what other people are saying in a non-critical way. I find people to model and listen carefully to how they do this. I've learned a lot from a friend who always finds something specific to admire and discuss in what another person tells him. Many people like answering questions about themselves and their interests, so anodyne questions are usually welcome (provided the person has raised the topic). \n\nI also write down vocabulary words that I find in context -- either that my learned friends use (such as \"anodyne\" :)) or that I read online, and I keep them at my desk and review them. I think if you've seen a word used in a contemporary publication, or by a colleague or in your profession, then its likely to be a natural word to use.\n\nAnd the person who suggested listening and thinking before you speak was spot on.

You'll likely be astonished by how much it occurs.\n2) If you're feeling really saucy, create a daily penalty for yourself based on the # of times you use the offending word. A nickel or quarter is probably good for starters if it's money. Increase the penalty as you improve. Or, if you are looking to get fit, make it a certain amount of push-ups or pull-ups per offense.\n3) Think about common adjectives you use like \"good\", \"cool\", \"great\", etc. and common adverbs like \"very\" and \"really\", and try to insert more descriptive or eloquent words instead. A \"really cool\" movie becomes a \"surprisingly thought-provoking\" movie, for example.\n4) Speak in complete sentences, i.e. not run-ons, like so many people do. Incorporate \"downward\" tone as you finish sentences/complete thoughts. Pause slightly before your next sentence.

It wasn't just about learning how to structure ideas or how to engage in critical thinking. There are many resources online which can help you with that. Rather, I truly believe my speech was improved by the intense repetition of the act of writing. I spent hundreds of hours writing and before turning in each of those fucking papers I read them out loud. I was reading text out loud, but these were MY ideas. These were My thoughts.

It’s a legit program and you likely won’t be the only people that aren’t not from the states. You’ll be able to keep your housing as long as you show up for your scheduled shifts, but I still encourage you to work hard because every job can be fulfilling if you work hard and take pride in it. Don’t stress, they should train you in any job they act you to do. \nSecond, they will work you. A lot. I would ask up front if the overtime is optional. If it is, be protective of your time off. They will try to get you to work as close to every day, especially if they are short staffed. \nThird, take advantage of your perks! Ski or snowboard as much as you can while you’re there! These jobs come with a free season pass! The gear can be expensive, but if you talk to the people you meet you’ll be able to find good, used gear for low prices. A lot of areas have Facebook pages for employees/locals to sell gear. Skiing is more natural for a lot of people to learn and very fun, but snowboarding is also a great time if you can be dedicated enough to get past the first few days and learn to turn. If you get deals on rental gear, I encourage you to try both. \nLast, don’t let people take advantage of you! If you are indeed doing the J1 visa program, I strongly encourage you to look into the contract you will be signing for any hidden obligations you are agreeing too. This is so you can say no when it’s appropriate. I’ve seen a lot of managers try to take advantage of workers on visas because the workers don’t want to be sent home. Know your rights and stand up for yourself.", "Make sure you have medical insurance from Argentina that covers you there, even if you have some coverage from the resort. In the US you can go bankrupt quickly from medical emergencies. It never happens until it happens. \n\n\nEven if you think is expensive, don't risk it. Hopefully you won't need it. This is the advice that was given to me and I did have to use it... So it saved more than 30k in medical expenses.\n\nSuerte flaca", "More info: the guy who offered us the job is currently the head chef at the restaurant, and he is a fellow Argentinian who's one of my mom's students.

Ski resorts are so desperate for help and there is a huge lack of housing. If you have housing you are way ahead of most kids your age. \n\nI would make it a point to figure out what benefits that come with your job. Sometimes they include discounted bus passes, meals, etc.\n\nLearn the bus schedule. Get a discounted pass. There is now better transportation to Denver via the Bustang. Also from Denver airport to downtown there is a train. \n\nFor clothes and equipment you can check out the 2nd hand shops for pretty nice stuff. Most of the resorts also have a clearance center for last years styles at a discount as well. \n\nIf your housing has no real kitchen invest in a hot plate, mini fridge and microwave. All can be ordered off Amazon or Target or Walmart. \n\nIf you are here to earn money a 2nd job is usually very easy to pick up. Look for a tipped position. \n\nYou will likely need a bank account. Alpine Bank is a good start if they are in your town. \n\nOne more cautionary…it’s extremely cold at night. If you drink, just be aware of the bus schedule and how to get home. Once or twice a year a person falls drunk and freezes to death (for real). Also the fentanyl problem is very real in ski towns. 1-2 deaths per MONTH. Don’t take any pills you don’t purchase from the pharmacy. Even minor pain killers are being sold on the black market. Obviously avoid any cocaine, Molly, etc. The marijuana here is also very strong. Take it easy and make sure your friends do too.\n\nFor your 1st job - show up on time and just be as helpful as possible. If there is a Chef they can be a little hard on new people. Don’t take it personally it’s just how they make you better.", "I am concerned that you won't have health insurance. It is critical that you have insurance.

You go to them and say something like, \"Hey, listen, I've been happy to help out because I know we're in a tough spot, but I've been working 70 hours a week and it's just not sustainable.\" \n\nThen you lay out your current projects/duties. Tell your boss what you can get done in a 40-45 hour week and what you can't and then ask them what you should do. \"I can do X and Y, but not A or Z.\" Or \"I can focus on X, but that means I won't have time to do Y.\" And then, the crucial part, \"What would you like me to prioritize?\"\n\nDealing with this is your manager's job. So make it their job. Ask them to tell you explicitly what tasks or projects they would like you to do, and so therefore which ones have to come off your plate.\n\nIf they tell you \"just hang on for a little while longer until I hire someone\" I would highly recommend giving them a deadline. \"Okay, that's fine, but I can only do this for \\[one more week\\] \\[one more month\\] \\[whatever\\] and then we have to re-arrange things.\" And then stick to it, to the day. If it were me, the moment I got back to my desk after this talk, I'd schedule a meeting for the exact day my stated deadline passes. That way they know you mean it. \n\nIf your boss is at all competent, they'll work with you. They'll help you re-arrange your tasks and projects, or put hiring someone to a higher priority. \n\nIf they won't work with you, or give you vague promises, or tell you 'everyone works 70 hours a week avocado toast no one wants to work anymore' that's important information for you to have. In which case, I would highly recommend finding another job right away.\n\ntl;dr: take one good-faith run at working with your manager to fix this. If they can't or won't, assume it'll never get any better and find something else. The money won't do you any good if your mental and physical health are destroyed in the earning of it.", "You've put your happiness and feelings into something that's external. You can never allow anything external change the way you feel internally. \n\nWith that being said, lose that job and find another one. It's time to move on or speak up and put your foot down. You are in control of your own destiny.", "The situation should be brought to the attention of the CEO, or at least your ex-supervisor's boss, with details of your hours and roles you fill. Ask to be promoted to the supervisor position and offer to help train your replacement.", "That sounds extremely stressful.\n\nStart setting firm boundaries with the boss. They are taking advantage of you. But you are also allowing it to happen because you feel that you need this job because it pays well. It will still pay well when you have set firm boundaries around the hours that you will work and what you are able to accomplish in those hours. When they try to add unreasonable amount of work and unreasonable time frame, ask for direction--\"which of these things would you like me to work on. I'm working on x and therefore won't be able to work on y until next week.\" It may be uncomfortable at first because they are not used to you pushing back, but remember that you are not in a sustainable place and your mental health is suffering. Be respectful but be firm.\n\nAlso consider the fact that if one company is paying you a great salary for the job you do, then most likely another will too. Start talking to recruiters on Linkedin and inquiring about salaries. \n\nIf you haven't already, create a budget and determine if you truly do need to make this much. Are there areas that you could cut back on? A high salary can be the handcuffs that tie us to toxic jobs. It can give you a lot of confidence to leave if you see that you will be okay with less.", "Two supervisors in a month, and now they're having you pinch hit for the position? Friend, they are definitely taking advantage of you.\n\nSince you feel you need you need *this* job, instead of just *a* job, I recommend setting up a talk with your boss. Ask why they haven't officially promoted you to the supervisor position. If you truly are doing all of the duties of that role, they ought to be paying you. If they are unwilling to do that, you're going to have to set boundaries. Tell your boss they have two weeks to find someone else to do the extra tasks you've taken on. After two weeks, do only the job you were hired for.\n\nI had to have this conversation when I filled in to cover someone's maternity leave. Once it became obvious she wouldn't be returning, they interviewed me and a couple of others for the position. I didn't really want it, but was already doing it and it had a better schedule. I had made it clear that even if they didn't hire me, I was more than happy to help out and train whoever they did hire. They chose someone else, but didn't tell me and had them train at a different store. I found this out from the rumor mill. There was a task that was due and my boss came out and asked if I knew about it/had plans to do it. I told him no, that I had been asked to cover Mary's maternity leave, and that had ended. He didn't feel it necessary to tell me I had not been hired to fill the role permanently, so I didn't see any reason to tell him I would no longer be doing it/going back to my previous position.", "This is what İ did (your mileage may vary): applied to a university with an all English program in the region İ most often took vacations.

I waited over a year while she was dating this other guy and I couldn't fall in love with anyone else because no one seemed as perfect as her. We started talking every day and hanging out every weekend and eventually she broke up with him. One night we were watching a movie and we were cuddling a bit during it. Afterwards we laid down on my couch just looking in each others eyes, and after a while I kissed her and told her that I loved her and she said she loved me too. I didn't really decide to kiss her its just what happed cus it felt so natural. We've been a thing ever since and have a great relationship, and I'm so glad I kissed her because if I didn't then I'd always be wondering how things could have been different. The point it, if its meant to happen it will, just be prepared to wait. If you really love her you have to tell her because its not healthy for you to keep those feelings to yourself.", "You gotta give it a shot. I (a girl) had a crush on one of my friends for the longest time. Eventually I gathered the nerve to do something about it.... and got turned down. Which sucked. But it actually made us much closer and better friends. I tried for 2 to get over him, but couldn't. But he finally saw the light and asked me out. We've been dating for 2 years and couldn't be happier :)\n\nSo yeah, you might get turned down. And maybe her feelings won't change. But you have to give it a shot. Otherwise you're closing the door to ANY possibility of you being together. \n\nGood luck :)", "To all those telling him to confess, don't. At least not yet.\n\nOdds are, to her it'll appear out of the blue and totally unexpected, then everything will turn awkward and head south.\n\nFirst things first, don't actively sabotage her and that other guy. If it works out, it works out and you should be happy someone so dear to you has found happiness. There will be someone else for you that will be just as special. If it doesn't, however...\n\nYou'll need to get her to like you that way first, before any kind of confession has a chance to work. Start by slowly introducing non-threatening \"dating\" actions into your regular hangouts, such as gentlemanly actions (pulling her chair out for her, etc). This clues her in that something's different, yet isn't too far past the line that she might react adversely... unless she's really, really not into you beyond friendship.\n\nThen slowly work your way closer and closer, as long as she doesn't push you away. If you're not totally clueless, you should know when an action might be okay. As you work your way closer, you'll generally be able to tell if any interest has sparked in her.\n\nIf eventually, you find the two of you doing pretty much everything dating couples are doing (minus kissing and sex), then congrats, you'll be at a state where both of you are just waiting for the other to fess up. Then and only then, do you confess for maximum chances.\n\nThe key here is to be patient and not rush the process. It has to happen organically, just with a little nudging on your side. She has to be comfortable with the increasing closeness at every stage. If at some point you find her distancing herself, you've either gone too fast or you never stood a chance to begin with.\n\nOf course, the more physically attractive you are, the easier it is for you to do this. And if you're not, go work on it because even if you don't get her, you'd be in a much better position to get the next girl that catches your eye.", "The best thing to do is be honest with her and not be scared of what she might say. If she tells you she doesn't think of you in a romantic way try not to be hurt by that, but at least she will know you are interested in her. The first date with the guy might be a big flop. You're going to do great. Just be honest and tell her how you feel. Being open and honest is a great trait that she will recognize and see in you. ", "Go Alpha, my boy. Here's what you do: You're going to find out where they are going. Once the location is set, go ahead and rent yourself a white stallion on that particular day. This is where things get tricky. You need to be able to go inside of wherever it is that she is sitting. Your stallion should already come packed with a sword and fedora. You pull out your sword and aim it at the beta-male. Loudly with the puff of your chest say \"Thou shall hand thy princess over to I\". If said perfectly, you can now look at your friend and (I CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS) look her dead in the day with a smirk on your face and TIP YOUR FEDORA. IMMEDIATELY after the tip, say \"M'lady\" to her and offer her your hand. Throw her onto your horse and ride off before security catches you. You should now have yourself a new girlfriend, new unimaginable levels of confidence, and a reputation as the alpha male.

Like most things, regular practice will help you feel more prepared for the real thing, especially if you've spent most of your life avoiding it.", "I used to hate confrontations and arguments. One day I was helping clean out the basement of my church and found a carton of old books that were going to be thrown away, and I was told I could pick through them. In it, I found a book called \"The Gentle art of Verbal self defense.\" I took it, read it, and loved it.\n\nThe whole thing is about first learning when people are messing with you and abusing you, and identifying what kind of arguer/confronter they are. The second part is about turning it around on them with some serious next-level psychological argumentative skills. Seriously, the thing is awesome. I've felt super confident ever since, and best of all, I learned to be assertive without being rude.\n\nThey re-published and revised it in 2009, you can get it on amazon for like a dollar.\n\nWell worth the read, it sounds like it would do you a world of good. But I really wouldn't sweat the problem.\n\n70% of every conflict is making sure you KNOW what is going on, because if you know the facts, people really can't mess with you.", "When I oppose someone, whether law enforcement or co-worker or a cashier, I first imagine being in their shoes first. A cashier who tells me a coupon expired is only doing their job - but I may gain something if I ask if there are any other promotions going on, rather than yelling about the coupon only being expired by a day. I don't spend days psyching myself out for an encounter, I just think it through quickly and act my plan. (This works real time, too.) If I feel someone has treated me unfairly, I think it through from their POV first. Sometimes, you'll be done at this step and realize it's stupid to confront the person.\n\nHowever, if youve deducted that there is malintent from the person or that the situation does warrant they be corrected, go forward and simply speak up.\n\nThe most important thing about confronting the person isn't making sure they realize you're right and they're wrong - it's making sure you come to them with the best chance of being, at best, understood/at least heard. Everyone will be different, but for the most part, a polite but assertive tone will get the message across.\n\nThis means, don't come at someone self-righteously or defensively. Don't be bias; try to understand them, it'll make them more open to understanding you. Refer to yourselves in the plural form (e.g. We seem to have a misunderstanding, I'd like to get your thoughts on...) Be confident in the point you're making; you're insecurities will shine if you let them so stay focused and in the moment.\n\nMaybe the first few times, even lead with \"hey, I don't want things to get out of hands, but I feel...\" I used to have really bad social anxiety, so I understand the anxiety certain situations can have over you. I used to hate showing up to parties alone until one day I looked over to a stranger, heart pounding out of my chest, and just said it: \"am I the only one who hates showing up to parties alone?\" It was a small cry for interaction that was well received and now I use a variation of it now anytime the situation rises. (Hey, if something works, why change it?). \n\nHope this helps a little for as wordy as it is lol", "Not sure where you could live in the U.S. that it's common for the police to shake people down for money. This is highly questionable. Perhaps this could happen regularly in a small town. In a medium to large city this type of corruption is simply not tolerated here. Is is possible this is a fear you have rather than something that's actually happening?\n\nSomebody else recommended \"Getting to Yes\" which is a good suggestion. However there are confrontations with authority figures, like the police, and confrontations with people who are not authority figures. These are two very different things. In a confrontation over returning an item to a store, for example, my behavior would be very different than I would exhibit when being questioned by a police officer. You generally have little to gain by being confrontational with the police. \n\nI'll recommend another book called \"When I say no I feel guilty.\" This title is misleading, as it's not just about saying \"no.\" It's about dealing with confrontation and getting what you want from other people. It explains that not giving other people what they want from us can trigger a guilt reaction in some people and it helps to explain and break down that mental mechanism. It's a very empowering book for many people.\n\nThe inability to confront people is also often a negotiation skill. You could read up on how to negotiate, but I would not go there yet. I will recommend two other books that are also helpful for building confidence and helping you deal with other people. These aren't obvious: \"How to win friends and influence people\" is dated and has a lot of preamble before it gets to the main point. Still a worthwhile read. \n\nThe other is the \"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.\" This one is more of a stretch, but I'm recommending because I think it's helpful for people who struggle to find their way with anything, which is most of us. It has excellent tips for how to invest your time and it helps separate what's important from the trivial stuff you can let go.

If your not in control of your emotions, they will be in control of you.\n\nNo one is invincible and there usually is someone a lot badder than you, including emotionless killers or people looking for a fight, so you have to read the situation.

Third, I keep up a regular habit of grooming my nails, since jaggedness tends to set me off into biting them, but clipping and filing have replaced it now. I keep a file with me.

This is rather long so I appreciate it if you're reading it.\n\nI'm 18. I don't know how the educational system works in so many countries but here, students decide their general area of studies according to which their lessons differ. This happens at the age of 15. Two most popular one are science and math. Science for the ones who want to become doctors, dentists, chemists, nurses etc. Math for those who want to become engineers, mathematicians etc. For 3 years we study exclusive lessons and after the 3 years, we have an entrance exam. Any student who wants enter universities has to take this exam. There are 2 types of universities here. Ones that are free of expenses and the government pays for everything you need and ones you have to pay for your courses yourself. When people take this exam, they are ranked from best to worst and according to their own interests they can chooses 150 majors and universities they want to study in. They have to be prioritized and according to your ranking, the first major & university you've chosen that you're good enough to be accepted in will take you. There's a lot of rivalry here and everybody wants good majors in good universities. I chose science. For the ones who choose science, medicine is the hardest major to get . The exam used to be normal with sensible questions. In the last decade the number of participants has grown remarkably so the questions have gotten way harder and honestly incredibly stupid. Too detailed in an unreasonable way. And don't get me wrong this is not coming from one of those students who hate studying and barely manage to get a 15 at a exam. During 12 years of school and high school I have always been the top student. So when I tell you this exam is stupid , I'm hoping you'd take my word for it and believe me when I say this is the worst thing ever. I wanted to be successful at it ,of course, so I had to study hard. The common way is , if you want to be very successful at this shit you should study at least 8 or 9 hours a day, for at least a year. For a year you should let go of almost any sort of happiness and fun and spend all your time studying. The pressure is too much and personally speaking, I experienced serious sleep deprivation and felt really depressed during this \"one year\". The educational system here is not good at all , obviously, and this is the worst of it. My exam was 3 months ago and I got the results a while ago. It was fantastic. I was accepted for medicine in one of the best universities in the country.\n\nNow, 3 years ago I had to choose between math and science but it was really hard for me to choose. At last I chose science but I kept my doubts. I don't dislike medicine, but I'm not crazy about it either. My dream job was to study computer science/ computer engineering and learn how to code games and end up working in a big and famous game company. I knew I wanted this more than medicine but I had to face some facts. Some countries care so much about games and have so many game companies you can work in. The job opportunities is great. But my country is not one of them and in fact, there's not so many job opportunities for this job around here. So one thing I knew was that if I wanted to go for it I had to immigrate. Immigration is not that simple and requires money. My family is here as well and I have NO ONE in any of these countries. So there was a chance I never immigrated and if so, I'd be stuck here with no job and future. Immigration can get easier if you get accepted in the best universities but that was a big risk. This entrance exam basically decides your whole life and future in 4 hours! I didn't know how I was gonna do in it, whether I could get accepted in the best universities on not, whether I could Immigrate or not. It took me so long but I finally decided I should use my head on this and let this dream go because it was too unlikely. I decided it wasn't worth gambling my whole life and future on. My decision was final until a few weeks ago.\n\nMy university classes start tomorrow. I'll be starting my path as a student of medicine and I'm terrified. Medicine is so so hard. So I've been thinking, I had the ability to become this successful. Maybe I would've gotten what I wanted had I persued my dream! Funny how my own success only makes me feel worse. I see how hard medicine is and I wonder, if I'm to study this hard, maybe I could just do it for something I wanted way more. I'm freaked out at the thought of regretting my decision in a few years. I don't blame myself for any of my decisions. I made the right ones with every piece of knowledge I had at that moment. But every time I watch a movie or something with a character deciding to \"pursue their dreams\", which always ends well for them, my doubts return. Was I a coward or did I make a decision using my head, and these are just movies about imaginary characters with a lot of luck and no real life problems? I think with myself \"If I want to change something, today is less late than 7 years from now. How long am I going to carry these doubts. What if they never let me go and I'll never be satisfied with my life?\". I thought about changing to math a few days ago but for that to happen I should take the entrance exam again and I DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT NIGHTMARE AGAIN. Have I lost my only chance for happiness or am I going too hard on myself?

I don't know how the educational system works in so many countries but here, students decide their general area of studies according to which their lessons differ. This happens at the age of 15. Two most popular one are science and math. Science for the ones who want to become doctors, dentists, chemists, nurses etc. Math for those who want to become engineers, mathematicians etc. For 3 years we study exclusive lessons and after the 3 years, we have an entrance exam. Any student who wants enter universities has to take this exam. There are 2 types of universities here. Ones that are free of expenses and the government pays for everything you need and ones you have to pay for your courses yourself. When people take this exam, they are ranked from best to worst and according to their own interests they can chooses 150 majors and universities they want to study in. They have to be prioritized and according to your ranking, the first major & university you've chosen that you're good enough to be accepted in will take you. There's a lot of rivalry here and everybody wants good majors in good universities. I chose science. For the ones who choose science, medicine is the hardest major to get . The exam used to be normal with sensible questions. In the last decade the number of participants has grown remarkably so the questions have gotten way harder and honestly incredibly stupid. Too detailed in an unreasonable way. And don't get me wrong this is not coming from one of those students who hate studying and barely manage to get a 15 at a exam. During 12 years of school and high school I have always been the top student. So when I tell you this exam is stupid , I'm hoping you'd take my word for it and believe me when I say this is the worst thing ever. I wanted to be successful at it ,of course, so I had to study hard. The common way is , if you want to be very successful at this shit you should study at least 8 or 9 hours a day, for at least a year. For a year you should let go of almost any sort of happiness and fun and spend all your time studying. The pressure is too much and personally speaking, I experienced serious sleep deprivation and felt really depressed during this \"one year\". The educational system here is not good at all , obviously, and this is the worst of it. My exam was 3 months ago and I got the results a while ago. It was fantastic. I was accepted for medicine in one of the best universities in the country.\n\nNow, 3 years ago I had to choose between math and science but it was really hard for me to choose. At last I chose science but I kept my doubts. I don't dislike medicine, but I'm not crazy about it either. My dream job was to study computer science/ computer engineering and learn how to code games and end up working in a big and famous game company. I knew I wanted this more than medicine but I had to face some facts. Some countries care so much about games and have so many game companies you can work in. The job opportunities is great. But my country is not one of them and in fact, there's not so many job opportunities for this job around here. So one thing I knew was that if I wanted to go for it I had to immigrate. Immigration is not that simple and requires money. My family is here as well and I have NO ONE in any of these countries. So there was a chance I never immigrated and if so, I'd be stuck here with no job and future. Immigration can get easier if you get accepted in the best universities but that was a big risk. This entrance exam basically decides your whole life and future in 4 hours! I didn't know how I was gonna do in it, whether I could get accepted in the best universities on not, whether I could Immigrate or not. It took me so long but I finally decided I should use my head on this and let this dream go because it was too unlikely. I decided it wasn't worth gambling my whole life and future on. My decision was final until a few weeks ago.\n\nMy university classes start tomorrow. I'll be starting my path as a student of medicine and I'm terrified. Medicine is so so hard. So I've been thinking, I had the ability to become this successful. Maybe I would've gotten what I wanted had I persued my dream! Funny how my own success only makes me feel worse. I see how hard medicine is and I wonder, if I'm to study this hard, maybe I could just do it for something I wanted way more. I'm freaked out at the thought of regretting my decision in a few years. I don't blame myself for any of my decisions. I made the right ones with every piece of knowledge I had at that moment. But every time I watch a movie or something with a character deciding to \"pursue their dreams\", which always ends well for them, my doubts return. Was I a coward or did I make a decision using my head, and these are just movies about imaginary characters with a lot of luck and no real life problems? I think with myself \"If I want to change something, today is less late than 7 years from now. How long am I going to carry these doubts. What if they never let me go and I'll never be satisfied with my life?\". I thought about changing to math a few days ago but for that to happen I should take the entrance exam again and I DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT NIGHTMARE AGAIN.

It has lain there all these long years since, collecting spiderwebs, until my girlfriend demanded a barbecue. \n\n\nAnd here I am, looking at my barbecue, and bag of briquettes, and two pounds frozen drumsticks, wondering how to work this infernal machine. Am I supposed to soak the charcoal briquettes in barbecue sauce? Do you drink the sauce straight, as shots, or combine it with a mixer? All I know is the drumsticks have so far been rather effective with my snare drums, and with the bass, and I wonder if I should thaw them before attempting music, and what if anything this has to do with enriching the flavor. \n\nHelp me, LPT. My girlfriend is hungrier than north korea, and I am running out of excuses. "], "suffix": ["First, if your chicken is frozen, go buy thawed chicken if you dont have time for it to thaw. \n\nIm assuming you have a standard kettle style grill (round with a domed lid with vents on the top and bottom?)\n\nIn a large bowl, drizzle a small amount of oil over your thawed chicken, enough to coat amd season with dry spice. Salt, pepper, herbs, whatever. Leave this out on the counter at room temp while you light your coals. Trust me, its fine. \n\nTake the grate off the grill and assemble the charcoal on one side of the grill. If youre using lighter fluid, coat the coals and allow it to soak in for a few minutes. Drop in a match and let them burn. \n\nThe coals are ready when the flames are gone and youre left with glowing embers. Test the heat by holding your hand about eight inches over the grate. You should be able to count to four before it gets too hot. This should be about 400 degrees. \n\nArrange the chicken on the grate opposite the coals. This is indirect heat. Your chicken will cook evenly and not burn this way. Put the lid on. Just barely crack the top vent and have the bottom vent open about 3/4 of the way. \n\nLeave it alone for 20mins. Then flip and rotate your chicken. Leave it alone for another 20mins. \n\nHave a bowl of whatever sauce with a basting brush or spoon ready. \n\nAfter the 40mins, move your chicken to the other side of the grill, above the coals and baste with sauce. Cover 5-7mins then flip the chicken, baste again and cover 5-7mins. This will carmalize the sauce nicely. Keep an eye on the smoke coming out of the top vent to make sure you dont burn it. \n\nPull it off the grill and eat it. ", "Assuming your going for a Quick cook;\n\nThrow 20 odd briquettes under the grill with 4 firelighters in stretegic spots. Light firelighters and advise GF that your gonna need some damn meat on that fire.\n\nWhilst she gets meat from fridge or the shop, open up YouTube and look for charcoal BBQ tips.\n\nIf she returns quicker then expected, tell her you'll need some sides to go with said meat and that your fixing for some sweet southern style slaw. Hopefully she gets the tip and heads back inside / to shop to purchase ingredients and start making the coleslaw.\n\nThis will give you ample time to resume the YouTube video to figure out what the fuck to do next.\n\nIf she once again returns before shes due, request a refreshing ale, as all this manning up is making you thirsty.\n\nIf the briquettes haven't ashed over (go powdery grey) tell her it's not up to temp yet and maybe she can organise some rolls for the meal as well.\n\nGood luck.\n\nTL;DR - YouTube search tips and send her on \"go fetch\" quests to buy you time to figure the rest out.\n", "Make a pyramid of coals. Use a hairdryer to blow air to get them hot. Once ashed over, spread into a heat gradient with a cool and hot side. \n\nThen cook.", "Make sure the drumsticks are fully thawed before barbecuing!!! Ideally they should have started thawing the day before, but you can put them in a bath of warm (not hot) water to thaw them within an hour if needed.\n\nThe best thing you can do is watch a youtube video on how to build and light one. \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lighting+a+charcoal+bbq\n\nDifferent barbecue styles have different means of effectively getting them going, and you can see what people are doing on youtube. \n\nBarbecue chicken SLOWLY and move it around a lot, don't put it right over the intense heat or you'll just sear the outside while \nleaving the inside all bloody. \n\nOnly apply the barbecue sauce AFTER they're almost fully cooked (the outside skin loses its plump look and starts to look thin)\n\nDo NOT leave your barbecue while chicken is on it. The grease that comes out of it as it cooks can start a fire that will turn everything sooty black in seconds if you leave your chicken in the flame.\n\nGood luck, and use a meat thermometer probe to ensure they're fully cooked.

Sign up for things: volunteering, sports, meet ups, art class, hiking etc. Just be (around) other people.\n* Step two is always say yes to anything anyone suggest to do.\n* Step three is start suggesting things to do with other people, keep asking until you figure out who is down to do stuff. Doing stuff usually leads to meeting more people.\n* Step four is ditch the time-fill activities (unless you really love them) and just do stuff with the people you now hang out with. ", "I've been in the same boat since moving a few months ago, but I've done this once before and here's what I've learned. \n\n1. You've got to put yourself out there, big-time. Put all your points in charisma. Think of it this way - after college, a lot of the metaphorical bones in peoples social circles have fused, and you have to break through that bone to make real friendships happen. You need to take the initiative in doing that, so don't be afraid to be the one to host a party, or organize a thing. Get the phone numbers. Send the group texts. \n\n2. Find social hobbies with a low cost of entry. Join a recreational bowling league. Go do karaoke. Find the bar that does regular movie nights. Find the farmer's markets. Find the kind of live music venues you like. Do you have a bike? Do you surf? Pick-up hoop? You get the idea.\n\n3. Be a regular. Find your spots. Breakfast place, coffee shop, book store, local micro-brew, dog park if you've got a dog. Just go to places you like to go, but talk to someone while you're there. Be socially available. If you're having trouble finding spots, ask you uber drivers, ask your bartenders where they go, ask someone who looks like they know what they're doing. People are generally excited to share cool local things they've found. \n\nIt all really comes down to the amount of exposure you have to potential new people and experiences, and you just need to maximize that exposure by getting out there. Happy hunting!", "My friend recommended meetup.com to me. I found a couple I'm interested in, but maybe your town has more options! \nCheck out the library calendar and city website as well. My city has a young professionals club thing that I haven't checked out yet (always bad timing somehow). ", "Find a Brazilian jiu jitsu school and start learning. It's hard to not be friends with people you regularly practice choking. ", "There's a dating app called Bumble which now has a portion of the app you can use called Bumble BFF to make friends. Not sure if you're a guy or girl, but I'm a girl and it's worked out well for me so far.

But if you can start, you oftentimes find the motivation after you get going. Many people who exercise regularly for example will tell you they rarely feel like doing it when they roll out of bed, but once they get started they get into the groove then they feel really glad they did it after all.\n\nYou think its physical often, especially after work, but usually it's really more psychological - you've been dealing with stress and the drain of the job all day so the animal part of you just wants to curl in a ball somewhere and veg out. Also adding to this resistance is how much of an effort it seems in your mind to do the thing you wish you could do after work. \"Oh I want to work on my novel but I can't deal with sitting there for hours trying to write\" etc etc.\n\nSo what you have to do is trick yourself into getting started on those things. Use something like the Pomodoro technique. Instead of saying to yourself \"I need to go to the gym or do whatever.. but all that time and energy!!\" just say \"I am going to just do this thing for 20 or 30 minutes.\" No matter how exhausted you think you are, you can generally kick your own ass enough to do a given hobby or activity for at least 20 minutes. And make it legit in your head - give yourself permission to just spend that little amount of time on the activity. It's better than doing nothing, and all those little 20 minutes add up over a week.

The ticking apparently helps ADHD students focus because it reminds them they are supposed to be on task, and they have a limited time to do so. ", "19 year old here diagnosed with ADD when I was 14. Caffiene, while it seems like it would just make it worse, actually helps me but doesn't work as well as Aderall or Ritalin. The other thing I've found helps a lot is a really healthy diet. I've found that taking frozen dinners and pop out of my diet and eating almost all fresh stuff helps me focus. But really, as much as I hate the meds, they work better than anything else.", "I was diagnosed with ADHD at 5yo, Aspergers at 15. I was on perscription meds until about 2007. (I'm 29 now.)\n\nThis *is not medical advice*. Well, who am I fooling? You'd take it as such, regardless. Just know that everybody is different, and what works for me may not work for you.\n\nI still, occasionally, have a difficult time focusing...but it's usually because what I need to be focusing on is more boring or difficult than I'd like.\n\nWhat's do about it? I'm not really sure how to describe it. Best I can say is I'm stubborn as hell, and I found I can direct that stubbornness to not let myself off the hook. That, and the process for focusing on a task is very similar to the process for falling asleep even if my mind is going five thousand places at once. I have to start a mental exercise (counting in prime numbers works for me, most of the time), and pull my mind back to task every time I realize it's wandered. After a while, my mind stops pulling away from the task.\n\nFor focusing on a task while awake, it's the same deal. Every time you realize you've drifted away, pull yourself back. Don't panic, don't fret, just pull yourself back and think about the task in front of you.\n\nThe fact that you say \"it's hard\" should give you hope. That means it's something *you can do*, rather than something that's impossible.\n\nNow, am I on-task 100% of the time? No. Am I as efficient as I would be if I were? No. I find coping with the discrepancy more valuable to me than taking the medications I felt were dulling my mind. The two best coping mechanisms I've found are *excelling* during the time I can focus, and setting aside extra time to complete tasks I feel I should dedicate more focused time to.\n\nBut, again, this is all about *what works for you*. It took me *years* of alert practice (in both focusing and social skills) to get myself to a state where I no longer required medication in order to be a professional and social success. I'm not going to tell you it's a picnic. But then life's no picnic.\n\nOne last piece of advice: You're 15. For now, please do what the doctor (and your parents) order; your docter has the training, and your parents are responsible for your screwups. Wait until it's on your own head; the added incentive also helps. :)\n\nOK, one more \"last piece\" of advice...you're going to be on medications that have street value. Don't make the mistake of giving them or selling them.

You gotta spend the time learning every dirty underhanded trick to make you focus, or more realistically, to motivate you to WANT to study.

Good luck.", "I was diagnosed with ADD my last year of college (better late than never... ಠ\\_ಠ) and my doctor, during the course of diagnosis, pointed out something to me that I found amusing. Ever since 10th grade, I'd been a caffeine fiend. I maintained a very healthy addiction such that if I went more than 18 hours without caffeine, I got cripplingly painful withdrawal headaches. Sometimes there was no helping it and I just got over the withdrawal and continued as normal, but I always went back to the caffeine.\n\nThe doctor realized that I was self-medicating. I had subconsciously noticed that caffeine helped me concentrate. When I couldn't concentrate, I would get frustrated and suffer from anxiety from doing poorly in class. When I was drinking lots of caffeine, I could focus, my grades were good and I wasn't anxious because everything was going smoothly. \n\nI'm not necessarily advocating for my current regimen of the equivalent of 2 Monsters daily, but it sounds like you do need to talk to your doctor about a medication regimen that actually works well for you. From what I've heard from friends, once you find the right dose of the right drug, you never want to be without it.

Anyway when looking for some different options a doctor prescribed [Daytrana](http://www.daytrana.com/) for me. **I LOVE IT**. It's a patch that you just put on your lower back and take off when you dont need it. Chemically it's pretty much the same as Ritalin/Aderall, but it spreads out the effect and feels more natural to me. Also I cut the patches down to the size that feels most comfortable to me. It seems rediculious that a doctor would be able to get such a delicate balance right.\n\nTLDR: I wear a Ritalin patch and it changed my life, allowing me way more control of my dosage.

", "I'm the same way (year round bc I go to work at 5:30 AM). Here are some things that have helped me: \n\nPlan your clothes: on Sunday I pick out clothes for Mon-Fri, including socks and shoes so I don't have to make ANY decisions in the morning. The night before, I lay out exactly what I'm going to wear in the bathroom. I don't care if this is the behavior of a pre-teen getting ready for middle school. It works, and it gives me a few extra minutes of sleep!\n\nMeal plan: I prep breakfast, lunch, and snacks the night before. Sometimes I'll pack a week's worth of food at once for even less work throughout the week. It is ready to go and I'll always have breakfast, which makes my day go a bit better. It might be tempting to \"plan\" to eat out, but really, it is so much easier to pack your food (unless you're in college and have a meal plan-- then eat up!) plus, you'll save money and you won't have to plan to make any stops before school for breakfast. \n\nMaintain a to-do list: this helps me remember if I need to pack anything for work, helps me plan my day so I know if I need to stop by the market or go to any appointments, and also gives me a running list of items I can check off to make my day feel more productive. I include anything I think will help me feel accomplished-- vacuuming, reading, paying bills, writing a thank you note, etc. At the end of the week I have a whole list of things checked off and I feel much more positive. \n\nGo to bed early. I realize this is hard, especially if you're a night owl like me. I used to stay up till 11-11:30 and wake up at 4 AM! Horrible. However, I have trained myself to go to bed a bit earlier each night, and now I consistently go to bed between 8:30-10 PM and feel much better each morning. I still stay up really late on the weekends, I just have a caffeinated beverage around 6 PM those nights. Which brings me to my next point...\n\nCut out caffeine after noon. Seriously. I never thought I could do this, but there is a huge difference in how quickly I fall asleep and how well I sleep when I cut out caffeine (all together or just in the afternoons). I even wake up feeling better. \n\nShower the night before, prep your hygiene supplies-- even if that just means pulling out your hair gel or face wash. Every extra moment in the morning counts. \n\nPrep anything you have to take with you in the morning. Book bag, planner, wallet-- whatever. Have it all laid out and ready to go.\n\nWhen you wake up: \n\nStretch first thing-- one of those big, wide arm, \"hello world\" stretches like you're in a Disney movie. It's been proven things like this (along with smiling), automatically improve your mood. \n\nGive yourself something to look forward to-- check Facebook, play a quick game on your phone, have your coffee with your favorite creamer, whatever. \n\nMake a \"morning playlist\" music you love and is high energy. Make your playlist roughly the length of your ideal morning routine-- that way you'll be able to subconsciously time yourself and be ready to go when the last song ends.\n\nDrink cold water-- this helps wake you up and hydrates you for your day. \n\nDo something \"productive\" in the morning-- the absolute easiest thing to do is make your bed (if you don't have an SO that sleeps later than you), this starts your day off right and makes you feel productive. Other ideas: fold your pajamas, start a load of laundry, wipe down your bathroom counter, or wash your cereal bowl. It seems silly, but something small like this can really trick your brain into thinking you're being productive and give you more energy. \n\nIf you have time and can get up early enough-- exercise. This probably means showering the day of rather than the day before, but if you can work in a quick jog you'll feel accomplished and have more energy. I personally can't work out in the morning, because then I'd be getting up at like 3 AM, but I know it is very helpful for some! If you can't do mornings, try working out in the afternoon. Even 15-20 minutes can really improve your sleep and mood. \n\nSorry for the novel, I hope some of the suggestions help!

Get a laugh get a tear.", "I've done 2 best man, plus a speech at my own wedding. I follow my 3 F's rule.\n\n* Family\n\n* Friends\n\n* Future\n\n**Family:** It's your brother so you have a good start. Think about growing up together, what you two did for each other and how you can use that to show how your brother is going to be a great husband and father. If you can throw in how the couple had great role models if at all possible. Don't know your family dynamics so that's on you.\n\nTalk about his wife(who you refer to as your sister) and how she has made him a better person, more compassionate and caring. Something everyone strives to be. If you can pinpoint a few things, do it, no matter how small. Steer clear of any character flaws that could be embarrassing.\n\n**Friends**\nThis one is a bit more tricky. You want to address them in groups if possible. Your brothers friends, you might be more familiar so you can maybe pick one out and query if he/she ever thought this day would come. Add in your brother didn't even know he was miserable being single until he met his wife, you'll get a few chuckles. Address her friends, not sure how well you know them. If not well this is the perfect opportunity to say something like. \"I don't know them very well but it looks like my brother is in good hands\". You might be tempted to tell stories about your brothers past times with his friends that were wild, don't. Stick with the friends being a support structure.\n\n**Future:**\nHere is where you circle back around to family. The new ones that will be growing within your family. Kids, aunts, uncles and cousins, a growing family tree. Bring up looking forward to your kids playing together as you and your brother once did. Again hit the role models if there is a long term marriage. Don't do this if there might be some ill will within the family dynamics, someone will be mad.\n\n**Other Tips**\n\nEmbarrassing stories are okay if done right. My cousin met his wife in an odd way, he mooned her. So I used that, a bit embarrassing but it can be worked with.\n\n*\"Everyone says that it was love at first sight that brought these two together, but I feel it was the full moon that evening\"*\n\n Half the room erupted in laughter the other look inquisitively around until the joke made it's way over to them and then they laughed. My cousin and I are close so I added how looked forward to our kids playing as we once did, vacations to the beach, Easters(it was a thing with our families) and long visits over the summer(we would spend a month at a time at each other house)\n\nIf there are any family members that have passed away and *should* have been there bring it up, everyone will appreciate it. But don't name them specifically. My brother passed away at 25 and I would have given anything for him to be at my wedding. So here's what I did and how I made the mood lighter as it not to be a depression session. This was at the end of my wedding speech, all but the congrats.\n\n\"I really want to thank everyone for being a part of the celebration. Our families, their love and support over the years is what some can only wish to have. Our friends, the family we choose and allow into our lives, may they never leave. And to those we wish could have been here, may we see you again one day in a better place.\" (Pause, hold your glass in the air)\n\n\"But not to soon!!!!!'\n\n\"Congratulations Brother /Sister (Insert names here), may your lives be long and happy and your family be forever healthy!!!\"\n\n\n***Family, Friends, Future***\n\n", "DO NOT! I REPEAT THIS! DO! NO! WING! IT!\n\nNow that crucial part of advice is out of the way, here's the good stuff:\nDon't open with a joke. It's cliche', old and usually never really works. If you want to make people laugh, throw in a true, but obviously SFW (Thats safe for weddings) story about something you and your brother did. Start by thanking the guests, the family etc., then get to the good stuff. \n\nDO NOT FORGET THE BRIDE! Most best-men, just go on about their buddy/brother/friend etc. but now your brother has a new best friend, shes important to you now too!\n\nTalk about them as a couple too, they were once different people (and still are) but now they are together.\n\nThats the best I got", "Been to a ton of weddings recently- THESE ARE CRITICAL: \n1. you only get 1 inside joke.- if her family or great aunt Marcie wont get the joke- don't use it.\n2. The wedding is NOT about you. Its NOT about you and your relationship with the groom. Your relationship with the groom and your love for him/ how you met/ your thoughts about being asked should be explained or addressed and but keep it shorter than part where you talk about the bride and groom. If you don't know her very well reach out before the wedding just to talk.\n3. Keep it PG- there will be a TON of kids there \n4. As for actual content, here are some buzzwords and phrases you can mix in: joining of 2 families, new chapter, never been happier, the way he looks at you, eternal bond, best friends(talking about the bride and groom), wishing you both, lifelong partners, facing new challenges together as one, a model to which others hope to achieve, happiest of days, remember for the rest of your life, partners in crime, douche canoes, etc. \n5. make sure you end with asking people to raise there glasses in a toast and cheers to happy couple", "10 minutes is way too long.

Your unique perspective as a member of the wedding party is really valuable and interesting to the other attendees. \n\nYou're making the case that their union is good for both of them, and because of your position as a close friend you understand them in a way no one else can. When did you realize that they were right for each other? When did the groom? Did you have a window into that moment? Tell the other attendees why these people deserve to make each other happy.\n\nFinally, don't worry about being funny. Worry about celebrating their union: what do you love about the groom, the bride, and about them being together?

We can give you advice, but it really sounds like you gotta sit down with someone and just unpack all of it and face it all head on with someone who's fully equipped to guide you through it.", "The most important thing, in my opinion/experience: reorganize and break down your priorities. To get stuff done, you need motivation. To get motivation (or to even register/feel emotions, bodily signals, etc.), you need energy. To get energy, you need to feel okay. To feel okay, you need to find what works (and doesn't work) for you personally. To find what works for you, you need to understand yourself, which therapy can greatly help with.\n\nTherapy doesn't exist to help \"fix\" anyone; it's primarily about helping someone understand themselves, and, once self-awareness is reached, providing said person with guidance/coping mechanisms/medications/resources to help them help themselves. Oftentimes, that's why therapy, at first, doesn't feel like it's \"working.\" (That, or your therapist isn't working for you, so maybe find a different one.)\n\nI'm glad to hear that you're exercising. Endorphins are nice.\n\nThe fact that you don't even want to watch Netflix (which is presumably an enjoyable experience) means that you're suffering to a degree that it's not only affecting things you don't want to do, but also things you actually enjoy doing. Due to this, I really, really think you should invest in a therapist. I don't think I'd be in recovery or even alive today if I never found mine.\n\nIf you need to fall, fall. (Just don't fall too far.) Often, it needs to get worse before it gets better, due to facing the unhappiness head-on, which is undoubtedly painful.\n\nDepression, while sometimes just thought of as just \"feeling sad for a while,\" is actually a state of prolonged mental hypoarousal (\"hypo,\" meaning \"less,\" and \"arousal\" referring to general energy/alertness.) Fun fact: it takes energy to feel anything at all. This is why people with depression can feel so \"numb.\"\n\nAnother fun fact: some emotions are more energy-taxing compared to others. Most notably, anxiety, as well as anger, fear, libido, and elation. Feeling motivated requires energy too.\n\nAnother another fun fact: ever heard the phrase, \"What goes up must come down?\" This applies to many of our biological processes, including our mental energy expenditure. Generally speaking, it's not possible to maintain a state of mental hyperarousal for long periods of time; at some point, due to homeostasis, you'd \"crash\" into a hypoarousal state. Depression and anxiety go hand-in-hand for this reason. Anxiety is a hyperaroused state, and depression is a hypoaroused state. Too much anxiety, and you can easily \"crash\" into depression. This can turn into a cycle of anxiety -> depression -> recovering some energy -> back to anxiety. (The same sort of cycle happens in bipolar patients. Mania is a hyperarousal state, and depression is the hypoarousal state.)\n\nI'd write more and polish up what I've written, but I'm trying to get on a sleep schedule that doesn't involve me falling asleep in the late morning.\n\nHang in there, alright?

It should be 195-205 F throughout the entire brew cycle. \n\n+ a pot should take no less than 2 and no more than 8 minutes to brew. \n\n+ use about 9-11 grams of coffee per 6 oz water. \n\n± use fresh coffee, whole beans will last about 2 weeks after they have been roasted, preground will go stale in a matter of hours. Although you can extend that with either vacuum packing or modified atmosphere packaging as soon as you open the bag you got about 2 weeks for whole, 2 hours for ground. Generally stay away from supermarket brands and try to get as local as possible. Better roasters will put a roasting date on their coffee as well. \n\n+ So most importantly grind coffee as close to brewing as possible. The oils that provide much of the flavor in coffee goes stale really quickly so this is **really** important. You should at the **very least** get a blade grinder better yet get a burr grinder. While a blade grinder chops up the beans resulting in an uneven and probably overheated grind a burr grinder will be more consistent and controllable (there is more to it but I won't go into it here). The difference is a suitable blade grinder can be had for around $20 while a decent conical burr grinder will start at around $100.

I hate repeating mottos or mantras over and over again so I just forget those and just do the physical tapping. What you're doing when tapping is hitting pressure points to disperse the energy sitting there. I like to think of it like the game where you are given pipes that you rearrange so that the water can flow freely from point a to point b uninterrupted. Start by tapping as gently or as hard as is comfortable on the side of your hand the that you would use to karate chop a board with.

I may look slightly weird but I'd rather look weird than feel terrible. Know your body and what to look for in yourself so you can change the way you handle these episodes.

When pulling up the articles though, they often make factual sounding statements without anything to back them up, or without listing sources for their claims - a good sign to be skeptical of a claim.\n\nSo, I usually quickly go through a bunch of checks to quickly filter out untrustworthy stories:\n\nLook at the style of the writing or speech. Is it clear, well formed and coherent? Is it written as a factual neutral article, or is is littered with opinion and hyperbole? Exaggerations and appeals to emotion are often used to distract from a lack of substance and fact.\n\nIf there are sources listed, follow them. What are the sources? Are they trustworthy? Is it some persons blogspot page, or is it a well known research institution or respected journalist? Are the sources who they claim they are? A \"scientist\" is not necessarily an expert in the field in question - so a sociologist making claims about climate change, or a geologist making claims about brain chemistry should be questioned. Similarly, a doctor is not necessarily a medical doctor, or a research doctor, or a specialist in the field in question - verify the person making claims is qualified to do so (and that they really exist, look for other publications).\n\nNext, look outside that article and their sources. Are there other places the information can be verified? Public records? Respected scientific journals? Are other unrelated sites or news organizations talking about it? What are their takes on the topic? Is there a general consensus to the facts of the story?\n\nBeware of excuses people make about why they cannot provide sources or evidence. Conspiracy and cover up claims are becoming far less believable in an age where sharing information is easy, decentralized and spread worldwide. So, it's a big red flag if someone is claiming they can't give you facts or evidence due to them being suppressed by some shadowy organization that somehow controls the entire internet (yet doesn't shut down their sites \"exposing\" those conspiracies).\n\nFinally, as others have said, look for motives. Is there someone that gains a lot for spreading that story? Is there a reason they may have fabricated evidence? However, be careful since motive does not disprove a fact, it just offers cause for stronger skepticism. If a politician is making a wild claim about their competition, they obviously have motive to share it - but it could still be true.

It's not about *trust*; it's about investigating the available evidence and likelihood of a claim proportional to the importance of the accuracy of the claim.\n\nFor example, if you hear something on the news that is trivial and unimportant, it's ok to accept it at face value as being \"true enough\". Are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie *really* splitting up, or is that another tabloid headline? If you really do care, check how many mainstream news outlets are carrying the story. If none, it's probably a tabloid headline. If many, it's probably true. If you don't care, just put it in the *maybe* category and move on.\n\nShould you vaccinate your child? That's a life or death issue for your child, so you should put in effort into that one. OK, is it just some pundit and twitter people saying you should do it, or is it recommended by all/most doctors, medical association, health agencies around the world -- generally multiple well-educated professionals whose job it is to look out for your health (and your child's). Sure, they could *all* be wrong or lying, but is it likely that many thousands of professionals around the world are in on a conspiracy to mislead you, are too dumb to question it, or that they know what they are talking about? Who says you shouldn't vaccinate? Is it multitudes of doctors and medical researchers globally, or a Playboy model with no medical training or personally performed research. Is it pundits on cable news? Religious leaders? Politicians? Think about the credentials, jobs, life-choices, and number of people saying you should vs those saying you shouldn't. What's the most plausible explanation, that the professionals are right and Playboy model is wrong, or vice-versa? Put it in the \"far more likely to be true than false\" category. \n\nIf you want to be convinced more, go look at the source information. You don't need to be able to read and understand them; rather, evaluate the situation. Are there many published studies by independent researchers and research organizations around the world over decades, or is it just one recent publication, one person with multiple publications, or a small group of researchers over a short period? The more diverse the publications and repeatable over time, the more likely it is true. \n\nIf you still aren't convinced it's likely true, read the research, or find a professional who *can* read them at a local university and ask them to explain what the studies actually show. This is going a little extreme on the investigation, but if all of the above information is *still* not enough, and this is very important for you, then by all means do it.\n\nIf there are a lot of professional researchers who *disagree* over this, or there are only a few recent studies, or there is little evidence or few professionals who will say there is a definitive answer, then put it in the \"nobody knows enough yet\" category, and maybe 50% likely to be true.\n\nApply the above line of investigation to whatever *important* questions you might have: climate change, GMO, vaccination, health, parenting, perhaps parenting issues.\n\nScale likelihood based on the degree of objectivity of the claimant. Lobbyists, activists, and pundits are not positions aimed at being objective and fair; they aim to present their side as strongly as possible and downplay any doubt to their position. Scientists and medical professionals who are doing science for a living have committed their lives to finding answers through objective research. Individual scientists and doctors can be corrupted or biased, but doing it en masse would mean many have violated their intended purpose and values in life in objective science, and there are amazingly none with the integrity to reveal the mass conspiracy or corruption. Apply this to graduate students too, as they are typically involved in the research of their supervisors and do much of the work that gets published.\n\nThe ultimate tip I would suggest is to change your thinking on this:\n\n> I'm looking for something to put a little faith into\n\nDon't. Faith isn't the right approach. Think in terms of likelihood and importance. Don't believe that something you hear is true or not true, but on a two dimensional scale/grid: on one axis a scale of 1 to 5 (perhaps) from likely not true to likely true, with 3 as \"I don't know\". On the other axis, the amount of effort you've put into it, from 1 to 5 from \"no effort\" to \"much effort\". If some knowing something is very important to you, move that effort scale from 1 toward 5. If the likelihood stays in the middle, then likely nobody really knows, but otherwise your effort should move the likelihood one way or the other.\n\nThis effort can sometimes take minutes, sometimes hours, sometimes a long term project.\n", "While you make a good point, I'm starting to get suspicious of you and your post.\n\nWho do you work for?", "This is interesting, because I've always had a way of sorting through the overwhelming disinformation, it's one of the few things I'm good at.

All else constant, the universe tends towards the simplest explanation for something. So if you have one simple and elegant explanation for something, and another that relies on you having to make 27 convoluted leaps of faith to get to an answer... the first one is probably reality. \n\nIn statistics... I get really fed-up with people who say you can make statistics say whatever you want. Yeah sure, if you're a moron and don't pay attention to sample size, covariance and correlation of data. In other words how many data points do you have and via math how strongly does your data seem to be indicating what you think it is. Yes, there is math for that. Always look for that. A statistic based on something with a sample size of less than 30 and virtually no correlation to whatever your assumption is is pretty much worthless compared to someone who has thousands of data points and strong correlations. \n\nFor science and medical claims, verify that the scientific method was followed. In other words there was a hypothesis that a scientist then came up with a test case to allow that thought to be proven or disproven, he ran an experiment many times and got data. He published the data and it was peer reviewed by other scientists who agreed his conclusions weren't on their face idiotic and so they and others then ran their own experiments and were able to repeat his test case results, this was done many times by many scientists and they all got the same results. \n\nRead international news sources.

So from best to last:\n\nIf a newspaper is citing a scientific study, it's generally worth looking at the results. The general media--I find-- generally reports poorly on topics such as science, computing science (esp. hacking and security). An advantage of looking at data, is that there generally cannot be any bias, unless the study is flawed. It just takes a little reading.\n\nLook at the original data on which articles are based. Newspapers often cite secondary sources such as Reuters or Bloomberg. Generally I prefer to look at these data sources which newspapers cite to make my own conclusions. Reuters in particular has a very specific policy for journalism with the intention to avoid bias and inflammatory language. I trust Reuters to be fairly objective, although they do communicate a slight bias.\n\nLastly, consider your own biases, the biases of the media and read a broad range of articles. There's no point locking yourself in an echo chamber of media which agrees with your viewpoint. It's often worth considering the opposite perspective to form a balanced view. For that, I read newspapers with opposite and known biases. An example would be for example Breitbart vs. The Morning Star. Reading a range of papers with various leanings will help form a broad idea of the truth.\n\nGenerally though, I would advise you to read broadly and use common sense.", "tl;dr of this entire thread: learn critical thinking skills - how to evaluate information and logical arguments to as high a degree of objectivity as possible.\n\nOne of the saddest things about the world today is people have figured out that the more trustworthy something appears on an emotional level, the leeway that source has to slant, distort, or outright fabricate the truth. \n\nDoes this mean you can't accept anything on faith?

I may have done some accounting work for X company but if I come to you with a story about how they sell heroin in bulk to schoolchildren, I'm not good enough for attribution there. Nobody is going to give those books to an accountant that isn't in on the plan. Likewise, say I'm a big youtuber and I get swatted. Now I think it's because those dickbags on forumY did it because they hate me. How would I know who did it? I'm not the 911 dispatcher. I didn't talk to the person on the phone. I don't have access to the records police do on names or addresses associated with phone numbers nor do I know names or emails associated with the bad guys' forum accounts. \n\nIt's not horribly complicated so you can pick it up pretty easy and then once you do, pay attention to attribution for shit the media is trying to sell you.

There are other systems we can look at that behave similarly, in that if we could have perfect information, we could reduce the noise (uncertainty) and get to the \"truth\": predicting the weather, the stock market, or my stupid fantasy football score for the week. There is some objective, factual truth to what the weather will be like tomorrow, but we basically just don't have enough information to make an exact prediction. We can get close, but not exact. If we knew the energy state of every atom on the planet, the exact number and location of photons hitting the Earth, and a whole bunch of other unobtainable information, we could conceivably predict exactly what the weather will be like. Similar story with the stockmarket and fantasy football. \n\nIn a similar way, the noise and uncertainty of factual information needs to be sifted through in order to narrow in on the objective truth. Now, the examples I gave above are a bit different than finding truth in that they are in the business of prediction, whereas finding truth is more retrospective, but the role that uncertainty, lack of data, and noise play are similar.\n\nFor example, breaking news is highly prone to making mistakes, even with the best of intentions. Things can be misreported, or important details can be unknown, and so on. It's well understood that breaking news is far less accurate than a revisiting of the facts a month later. Hence the saying about hindsight being 20/20. Overtime, the facts are gathered and organized and a clearer version of the objective truth is reached. In general, the truth comes out over time.\n\nGiven this, how can we possibly parse out what's going on today? Or even this week, if it takes so long for the facts to become clear, how can we possibly know what's true today? Well, we can't. But we can make some intelligent guesses in the same way meteorologists can predict weather and stock investors can make money.\n\nFirst of all, being aware of the fact that the \"truth\" is noisy is important. Equally important is the awareness you already have that misinformation is deliberately spread, narratives spun, and agendas pushed. Those things absolutely happen and other people are trying to manipulate you. Being aware of all this is the first step - the second is applying the basics of the scientific method to your truth seeking. \n\nIf we had perfect information, we could look back over time and measure the accuracy of every influencing piece of information. We could score these from each source, and then use that to weight how much we trust the things they're saying today. In order to measure this accuracy, we use further methods of science and the power of hindsight - evidence grows over time, lessons are learned, trends become clearer, and so on. These trends and the growing evidence validates particular current opinions and erodes other current opinions. \n\nWe don't have perfect information, but we use these methods to the best of our ability to parse out today's objective truth. Will a historically-validated liar make false claims today? Not necessarily, but we should be on our guard. Will a historically-validated truth-teller make false claims today? Possibly, not likely. Does the truth-teller have some reason to bend the truth today? Well, maybe we should be a bit more suspicious of what they're saying. \n\n\ntldr - \n\nBe skeptical, use data, take your time, and be aware of forces creating noise in the system. ", "Ha.

Except, well, it was only an obvious photoshopping.", "Find good sources. Don't go to major news networks, if it's a real story it will be all over reddit quickly. Don't trust singular studies, wait until multiple studies by different groups with different views have made tests to compare the results.\n", "Figure out who pays the bills. If a media outlet isn't driven by profit/ratings they are less likely to sensationalize to get people's attention. I've found that non-profits (BBC, PBS, NPR, etc.) are way less biased.

Always read the news articles before even looking at the headlines in the op eds. \n\n\nThe only 100% effective method to ensure that you are an informed member of society is to have strong critical thinking skills.

Those are most likely the \"facts.\"\n\n\nLook at the wording choices used: EXAMPLE: one news outlet uses the title: \"Further Questions of Dishonesty Arise After Politician X Is Grilled In Court By Prosecutors\" another outlet uses the title: \"Politician X Answers Prosecutor's Questions In Court.\" The first article might sound more interesting, but it has an obvious bias.

One of the first rules of statistics is that correlation does not equal causation. For example, the media headline could be something on how autism has become more common since the 90's \"according to a study.\" If you read the study, however, it would show a rise in people having a diagnosis of autism, a huge factor being Asperger's was not in the DSM until the 90's (again this is a made up study I'm discussing as an example.) \n\nAlso, if you have trouble understanding peer reviewed journal articles, reading the abstract and the conclusion will give you a summary of the study and results.", "And I'm also a firm believer that cops have been shooting black people for a long time..this isn't some new phenomenon..it doesn't make it any less wrong or fucked up, camera phones and news outlets that need content, are at an all time high.

Being informed means you have more facts to support your belief. It doesn't necessarily mean it's right. There is a time to listen to reason and a time to go on a hunch and we're never going to get it right, at least not all the time. We are all irrational creatures trying to rationalize our behavior.

The implications are only suggestions. They have not been proven.\n\nExplaining this, peer reviewed means subject matter experts have read the study and critiqued it. They know the field. They know the pitfalls of research in the area. They have a good understanding of the reality, what is really going on.\n\nA double blind study means neither the subjects nor those evaluating the results actually know if they are part of the control group or the experimental group. So the subjects cannot act in a different manner because they are experimental nor can those who measure the result score the experimental group differently than the control group. No one know who got the experimental thing.\n\nAfter the test is done, the study completed, and the results compiled then the randomization is decoded and the results of the experiment interpreted.\n\nYou can generally trust those results especially if several different but similar experiments are done by different groups in different countries.\n\nAny thing else may have observer bias or the placebo effect may occur.", ">more slanderous campaign ads\n\n[This isn't new](http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2008/10/ten-most-awesome-presidential-mudslinging-moves-ever)", ">Obviously people are going to disagree but the divide, for the most part, seems to mostly separate the informed from the misinformed.

There is no viable way for a normal human - and by normal I mean someone who's not digging the shityards of the internet and other sources all nights long - to keep up with everything and to have educated opinion on the majority of hot topics. Researching even one area like e.g. global warming will take you months, especially so if you don't have tech background.\n\nSee, the more controversial the topic is (and you mentioned climate change and politics) and the more money and power is on the line, the more advanced manipulation techniques will be applied by all parties involved. I listened the intrudocutory course to \"Information Warfare\" (don't know the exact English term for it) and on the very first lection professor told that there is no way one can fully resist the manipulation in media even if he delibetary tries to dig for the truth and avoid biased opinions.\n\nThe extreme example here is trying to understand geopolitical decisions. Without inside information it's literally impossible no matter the efforts because the amount of sources is overwhelming, they are contradictory and they yield the information at a higher pace then one can absorb. Also, due to a huge amount of [cognitive biases](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases) one has to check each of them during reading which is very exhaustive.\n\nKeeping in mind all the above, I'd say:\n * Don't try to work out detailed views on political and geopolitical subjects and on everything on Earth, don't try to keep up with everything.\n\n * Never-ever-ever watch TV!\n\n * Read the most non-opinionated, time-proven and fundamental scientific literature on the subject you are interested in. E.g. for politics it will be some classical works on history, sociology and economy which will give you the ground for estimating where particular actions lead and hence what's the reasoning behind them.\n\n * Read sources from all the spectrum of opinions and try think critically about them - this a separate trainable skill. Also, it's safe to completely ignore known yellow journalism sources like Russia Today or Fox News. They give you nothing but manipulation which is hard to resist.\n\n * Relax. There is absolutely no benefit in the knowledge on the majority of topics. Knowing who's the baddest asshole in Siria gives you nothing. Read the books you enjoy which don't try to shove a load of crap in your head.\n\nSorry for my English.\n\n", "1) Peer reviewed studies, especially literature reviews (which is basically going over all the studies you can get and drawing a general conclusion about what's said in them). If you can, use a library to access these, as they pay for full access to huge databases. If not, there are still several public access databases (my favorite is the US NIH's PubMed). Failing that, most places will show you the introductory summary, called an abstract. This is the cover blurb of science, except it gives away the whole thing as briefly as possible. **Peer review** from a **reputable scholarly source** the essential component here. If it is not open to critique from other scientists and offered up to the community for corroborative purposes, there is likely a reason. If you're looking for pure theory, think tanks *can* be OK, but see my next point.\n\n2) Evaluate for bias and use multiple sources. Figure out who has what kind of skin in the game. Then, find someone with a different kind. There is the fact of what happens, but nobody sees truth - only their version of it (watch *Rashomon* for a damn good perspective on this). There may be some truth in everyone's story, or lies. CNN says one thing, the *Guardian* another, Al-Jazeera a third... National news organizations like the BBC and NHK will generally be favorable to who runs the government. Al-Jazeera is beholden to its Gulf emir donors. And so forth. If you look at multiple perspectives, especially those that conflict, you can often derive some factual knowledge and make a better conclusion. I'm personally a fan of \"news wire\" services like the Associated Press, as well as local news. They tend to provide the bare minimum on breaking news as it occurs. That said they've got skin in the game, too. In science, remember that funding is key, especially in state sponsored studies. The social sciences are especially prone to bias, since human behavior makes us terrible subjects and the issues are very politically charged. The FBI's excellent criminological work has the secondary purpose of keeping the Bureau going. Economic statistics will be manipulated by the powers that be - for example, the U.S. \"market basket\" of groceries used to determine purchasing power changes frequently, and the poverty line assumes that the family has a full-time homemaker. \n\n3) \"See the [fnords](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fnord?wprov=sfla1). This is a corollary to #2 really. Fear sells. Advertising works on insecurity, and keeping the population anxious means they will cling strongly to the leaders of their choice, established or no. This is the main trouble with news, even local sources - to sell, they need to use a sensational tone that keeps people wanting more. On top of that, governments will seek to influence the media to serve their interests. A lot of the time, this involves turning boring events into \"maybe terrorism,\" showing interviews with the person on the street who saw nothing, but is scared nonetheless. You are supposed to be afraid. Always look to see how people are spinning this into the story.\n\n4) reputable sources. For example, while the Christian Science Monitor might disapprove of modern medicine, they often provide a less partisan view of major sociopolitical issues. The New York Times is the USA's foremost paper because it has a long standing reputation as a provider of good information. The National Enquirer is a joke and is not to be believed. USA Today is simplistic, the Daily Mail is a sensationalist rag that exists to sell copies. Regardless, always check for bias. Skin in the game.\n\nAssassin's Creed got it right: \"Nothing is true; everything is permitted.\" A single point from an arbitrary source is a tool of who shares it. A million stories may still lie, but will contain a greater store of information from which to make conclusions. And people with power will use it."], "sft_index": 0, "reward": [1874, 142, 96, 66, 46, 38, 27, 13, 11, 8, 8, 8, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1], "label": "safe"} {"meta": " ", "prefix": [" How to quickly defog a bathroom mirror after a hot shower?

From here you'll have to figure out a way to compromise with the person who's house you're visiting. \n\nI'm assuming that the, \"pretend you're allergic\" strategy isn't foolproof since you listed family as one of the groups who has dogs you'd like to avoid, so most of your strategy from here will be figuring out how to phrase, \"I really, really, don't like dogs\" in a way that doesn't ping any sort of protective instincts. \n\nMy suggestion, coming from a family with lots of dogs, is to be accommodating, but only to a point. Maybe suggest that they keep the dogs on a floor of the house that you won't be frequenting (we keep ours upstairs since that's just bedrooms and the public spaces are all on ground floor), but that might be harder in a one story home. Maybe dog gates would help. Unfortunately pets are going to be a hard thing to abstain from, but I'm sure if they're your friends and family they'll understand if you try and talk to them about it. \n\nI know that my dogs really want a good sniff, but will lose interest if you don't talk excitedly or show interest yourself. This may sound awkward af, but one thing I have friends who don't want to meet the wave of doge do is bring a dirty sock or something over (I know, kinda weird), and I just sorta give that to the dogs to smell so that they don't need to be all up on my amigos business. ", "I don't like being sniffed or licked so I just say no, but still pet them. I like animals just not having one on my crotch. Honestly people won't get offended but there are those few ", "If it is someone close to you, let them know prior to you coming. There are a few friends we have that we put the dogs upstairs when they come over. If a dog starts to becoming overbearing or annoying when you're around, the dogs owner won't be offended if you ask. I prefer my guests being comfortable in my home", "As an owner of 3 large dogs and 1 miniature dog I understand why you get questioned when people say \"I don't like dogs\" as my natural response would be to ask why to make sure you're not scared etc.. but where you're not scared of them and just don't like them being near you I'm a bit confused why you don't give them a quick pet and then command them away? That way you're not offending the dog owner by saying you dislike the dog but you're also asserting to the dog and the owner that you don't want the dog near you. The way I do this when visiting others would be to give the dog a quick greeting then verbally say \"alright that's enough now\" makes the owner feel good that you've given any attention to their dog and then embarrassed that their dog is being a nuisance to you. Being calm and assertive is always a good tactic with dogs and their owners, people usually understand boundaries If you highlight them in a positive way.

If so, get the appropriate weapon(s) and PRACTICE so that their use is second nature.\n\nIn Scouts we used to have \"without warning\" drills. Right in the middle of a meeting, without warning, a leader would spell out a crisis situation, and the whole troop would be expected to effectively react.

Letting those emotions go out-of-check will keep you from thinking clearly during those pressing moments.\n\n1.

I even tried those hyperhidrosis antiperspirants but it didn't help me. Some friends also use baby powder but I always forget to do it but when I did I got good results. ", "As someone who moved to South Florida almost two years ago, I can assure you not much is really going to help. You can mitigate it to some degree, but you'll still sweat a lot until your body gets used to the climate. My advice? Wear light clothing (light in both fabric and color), and drink lots of Gatorade (not just water, but something to help replenish those electrolytes). Other than that, there's really not much you can do, but that's just from my personal experience. Good luck!", "I live in North Florida where the humidity is on average [higher](https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Florida/humidity-annual.php) and my solution is to never go outside. But I'm about to start biking to work and business casual is not something you want to be sweating in. My best suggestion is to carry one of those quick dry towels and a change of shirt. Walk into the library, head to bathroom, wet shirt off (maybe put it in a plastic bag so it doesn't soak/make the rest of your backpack contents stink), dry off, on with the clean shirt.\n\nAnother option, if it's financially feasible, is to use panniers instead of a backpack (I'm assuming you use one). This will allow your back to breathe. They make ones that have straps to be used as a messenger bag.", "Not sure how big your school is, but maybe you could ride your bike there and shower/get ready there? Then you could wear workout clothes to the gym, have a locker, and change into \"school\" clothes. ", "I live in Central Florida and grew up in the humid southeast. \n\nI wear an undershirt almost always to help deal with sweat. It hides some of it and helps protect my regular shirts from sweat. \n\nYour body will adjust some, but it can take years and then you will still sweat a lot.\n\nWe are in the hottest parts of the year for Florida, next month will be worse and then it will ease off. The winter in Florida is the nice time, this part of the year you just avoid the outside if possible.\n\nOnly advise besides don't leave the AC is to be clean, sweating when you are dirty (or your clothes are dirty) is way worse feeling than sweating after a shower and in clean clothes. \n\nThe Air conditioner is not only used to cool you, but in the SE it is more important to remove the humidity from the air.", "when I was riding in the central Texas summer sun, I wore ventilated loose tshirt and comfortble shorts for riding to work. in your backpack, carry a rolled up small change of clothes. maybe just a second shirt, maybe undies and shorts too. dry off in a bathroom stall, maybe powder or spray as well, then change. tie the sweaty stuff to the outside of your pack so it dries", "Benzotropine is supposed to work really well with little to no side effects. It's a Parkinson's drug you should ask your primary care physician.", "I work in a very humid/hot setting and am prone to instantly soaking my undershirt due to perspiration. One way to mitigate the tendency to overheat is using one of those shammy towels that you soak in water and simply wearing like you would a scarf. It works very well in keeping your core temp down and reduces the rate at which, for me at least, I sweat through my chest and arms etc.", "I can't speak for any form of antiperspirant, but on the clothing front, if you want to try something a bit different, you might consider a merino wool t-shirt. Preferably in a dark colour, like black or dark blue. \n\nIcebreaker and Smartwool are a couple good brands, but there are more. They won't necessarily stop you from sweating, but merino is extremely good at wicking, as well as evaporating. It also help to just generally regulate your temperature. \n\nI spent 3 months in Singapore, which is about 85-90 all day, every day, even at night, and 100% humidity. If I wore cotton t-shirts I'd be drenched, but in my wool shirts I'd get a bit of pit sweat, but then it would be gone after a half hour of being inside in the AC. \n\nThe other benefit of merino is that it is antimicrobial, so you won't get much of a smell, especially compared to a lot of synthetic \"sports\" clothing (Under Armor, Adidas type stuff).", "I am a very heavy sweater (hyper hydrosis) and have been using Oxybutynin for two years now and it's amazing. I hear the extended realease is better but it has literally changed my life. I believe its main use is incontinence but it does work for sweating. ", "For a person who has spent all his life in tropical climate I can say for sure there is no definite solution. We buy inner wear that are thin but have extra padding by the arm pits. IDK what it's called! It's also a bit thicker at the upper chest and back. It's a broad V neck so doesn't show even if I wear a t-shirt. This is not a solution to sweating but a way to prevent stains. I carry an extra always. One is in my car at all times. We follow a 6 hour rule: if you are wearing it over 6 hours you change. Apart from that all those sweat-free deodorants are total BS! Deo + sweat stinks a lot more than sweat alone. There was an episode on AlphaM (YouTube) on this.", "Bring some spare clothes with you. Change clothes- including underwear and socks. Its natural to sweat, but once you are in dry clothes and back in AC you'll feel fine. When winter arrives it wont be so bad.", "You and me both, man. It sucks. I would put someone in a shallow grave if doing so would let me move to CO with a stable IT job and house. I have just enough Italian in me to make even 50% humidity suck.\n\nI wear a lot of workout shirts, the wicking kind, and I don't exercise or do much of anything before I have to go anywhere. I do my hikes and bikes in the evenings before dark, so I can be as much of a mess as I want.\n\nLosing weight doesn't always help. I'm trying to gain weight. It's just how I'm built. Sweat sweat sweat.", "Where in the SW did you move from? Gets pretty toasty in Phoenix so I was curious if its really that much sweatier in sofla. ", "Went from living in socal to Miami. First 6 months were pretty brutal, but after that I got used to it. ", "This may sound a bit strange, but I find that I have to talk myself into thinking I am not as hot as I am. The more you say to yourself \"I'm dying of heat\", or \"I can't take this anymore\" I find it works me up even more. Try and stay cool minded and always have ice cold water with you. Hopefully this will :)", "The only thing that has helped my arm pits that sweat like a rainy day in Seattle is Certain-Dry. It's a roll on antiperspirant you put on at night. My pits don't sweat at all when I wear it. ", "Probably not what you want to hear, but as someone who rode a bike to school and work in Florida for years. You just get used to it. Eventually you accept that you will be swimming in yourself for the first 30 min after getting anywhere. Figure out where the AC vents are in buildings you frequent and stand under them to dry when you get in and don't worry because everyone feels your pain. Eating more fruits and veggies while eating less fried food/meat seems to help the sweat no smell as bad too.", "Life-long Floridian here. \n\nYour body does acclimate to the climate after awhile which does help the most. Sadly that is going to be time based and nothing you can do on your own. One thing to remember is that sweating is just a part of life here if you're caught outside at certain times of the year for extended amounts of time.

Just be sure to wear deodorant cuz noone wants to smell your sweaty ass, but noone will complain that you're covered in sweat.", "I'm like you, sweat a lot, and no deodorants can stop me from sweating. So my strategy is mainly on how to disguise the sweat stain rather than how to reduce sweating.\n\nfor that, I wear bold multi color pattern shirts so that sweat stain won't stand out, and it seem to work. Avoid a solid color shirt, as it will let the world know that you & I are sweating under arms/chest/back. I like my cotton white & dark navy gingham check shirt and flower pattern shirts, as their colors & patterns perfectly camouflage my sweat stain pattern. When I buy a shirt, I even bring a bottled water and perform a patch test (drop a couple of droplets of water on and see if the shirt pattern will camouflage the water stain). \n\nGood luck!", "I would recommend freezing a water bottle and bringing a towel. Arrive 10-15 minutes early, towel off and hold the frozen water bottle in your hands, up against your neck/major arteries, and even just rubbing the frozen bottle over your clothing. You might consider an ice pack that wraps around your wrist or lower-back. Keeping one part of your body cold allows the blood to pass through and help cool down the rest of your body. It works best for me when I get one part uncomfortably cold then switch to the other side of my body. I.E. holding frozen bottle to right side of neck then left side, then inner thighs, etc.", "I live in the southeast and do a lot of outdoor activities.\n\nYou're going to sweat, that's just a fact.

And they will dry pretty quickly once you get them indoors.\n\nBut most ppl I know (myself included) who do things outside in the south are accustomed to changing clothes frequently. Put on the synthetics to bike, walk, etc. Once you are in the office, home, or whatever, change into more normal clothes.", "I live in Texas on the coast. Very humid.\n\nWear layers.

After that, I started leaving earlier so I would have time for a quick shower, then get changed into my regular clothes and head to class!", "I found that shaving body hair helped a lot.

Yes, when I arrive at work, there are blotches on my shirt and beads of sweat on my forehead. When I wipe the sweat from my brow, my hair looks wet. But what does it matter? I don't think anybody sees me as less of a person for sweating, and if they do, that doesn't affect me. \n\nAlso, I've read many replies saying to drink (ice) cold drinks, but the way I understand it, this will only make matters worse, as your body needs to work to warm up the liquid in your body, thereby generating more heat. I usually drink tea when it's warm out, and I find that really helps. It might sound counterintuitive, but I suggest you try it out! [Somewhat of a source](http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/health-check-do-ice-cream-and-cold-drinks-cool-us-down/)\n\nAs a practical sollution though, if your clothes are unmanageably wet, I'd suggest you take an extra shirt and a towel to school.

That's why \"everybody\" drives cars. \n\nBut, if you gotta ride the bike and don't want to be a sweaty mess. \n\n1) OVER Accumulate to the environment. At the start of the summer get a gym membership and go sit your ass in a sauna as often as you can. Personal experience, you'll sweat your ass off as your body will be freaking out about 115-120 degrees. After doing that for a couple of weeks, riding around when it's 99 degrees isn't so bad. It's still bad ... just not as bad.\n\n2) Don't buy Deodorant ... look for Deodorant and Antiperspirant. It'll help a bit with underarm sweat but also that muskyness that no one finds appealing. If you get sweaty balls, put that shit down there too. \n\n3) To cool down; find the biggest cup you can ... fill it to the brim with ice, pour water over it. Drink that shit. Fill it up again and drink some more. It will cool you down. When I would get overheated, I could feel the coolness of that icy water spread from the inside - out.

Getting acclimated will help with the not feeling like you dying, as long as you consume much water and many electrolytes, but the real answer is air conditioning.

", "This LPT request comes up a couple times a month. Want to learn to get yourself to sleep? Fine, but you're not going to like it for a while.\n\nFirst - you must put yourself on a schedule. Getting your body in the habit of sleeping at a regular time is just like getting your body ready to workout on a regular basis. **You need to go to bed and wake up at the same time for this to work**. Most people seem to think that a sleeping schedule only matters on one end. If you really want to make sure you sleep on a regular basis, then this means weekends too. \n\nYour body goes in and out of REM sleep in cycles, so use [Sleepyti.me](http://sleepyti.me/) to figure out what your schedule should be. Everyone is a little different with these schedules, so it won't be exact, but it should get you in the ballpark until you can figure out what works best for you. It's easier to get up if you're not waking up in the middle of a cycle.\n\nSecond - Install [F.lux](http://stereopsis.com/flux/) on all electronic devices you have any chance of using within 3 hours of going to bed. Make sure to set it so that it slowing changes the quality of light (instead of all at once) over the course of an hour. This will change the color balance of your screen so that it appears less blue (which makes your body think it's day) and more yellow (incandescent lighting makes us think it's night). For the first month that you are on a schedule you should turn off all electronic devices 30-90 minutes before sleeping, just to wind your brain down.\n\nThird - Warm milk doesn't do a whole lot. There are other options out there, like [DreamWater](http://www.drinkdreamwater.com/) that have actual melatonin in them, but really you just need to increase your intake of two basic vitamins: Magnesium and Vitamin B-6. Those will help regulate your body in such a way that you will sleep more easily. Take Magnesium twice a day (morning and 30 minutes before bed) and B-6 right before bed. This will help overall, but is not a cure in and of itself.\n\nFourth - If you're the type of person who needs white noise to fall asleep, pick something from [Sound Sleeping](http://www.soundsleeping.com/index.php) that *isn't* a sound you normally hear during the day.

But when I go shopping with someone whose taste I trust, if they give me a \"hell yeah\" on a piece of clothing I just don't get, I ask how to wear it and I get it anyway. You KNOW you have limitations, and you know you came with them for a reason. If you don't take their word for it when they say you look great in something, you might as well go alone because you clearly don't trust them much as you think. I've discovered a lot of clothes I never would have considered because I took someone's word for it. \n\nTl; Dr: trust the people you trust", "Branding is also a big part of how I shop for clothes.\n\nFor example, I like to wear ralph lauren and levis, ive gotten so used to how they fit and now I know what size I wear, so from now on, i just match the size and can online shop all day knowing exactly how things are going to fit me.", "This sounds like you seek advice on how to *shop,* more than specific fashion advice. If you need help shopping, *ask for it.* Let the salespeople earn their commission. When you don't know what you're doing, it's almost automatic to respond \"I'm just browsing.\" Resist this urge. Instead, tell them everything. Say upfront how much you intend to spend, so they don't waste time showing you clothes out of your budget. Maybe take some phone pics of your current clothes so they can help you match. The more you tell them, the more they can help.\n\nFor example, suppose you are shopping for a suit. You'll get better advice if you say \"I'm looking for a suit to wear to a job interview with the DA's office. Here is what my shoes look like.\" than if you just say \"I'm looking for a new suit.\"\n\nNever guess as to your measurements. Get measured at least once a year--waist, inseam, collar, sleeve length, jacket size, shoe size and width. Just tell the salesperson \"it's been a while since my last measurements, would you mind taking them for me?\" \n\nGet friendly with a tailor or alteration shop. A ten-dollar alteration can make a mediocre outfit into a great one. When you see a suit in a magazine, it looks so good because the stylist, armed with a bunch of pins and binder clips, temporarily altered it to have the perfect fit. \n\nWhen you go shopping, wear (or take with you) clothes like what you are looking for. If you're shopping for a blazer, be sure to wear a dress shirt. If you're shopping for wranglers, wear your cowboy boots. If you're shopping for slacks, wear loafers and your leather belt. If you're shopping for shoes, wear or bring the appropriate socks.\n\nRegarding how to keep up with men's fashion, I suggest subscribing to a magazine like GQ, reading the style columns, and looking at the ads. Assume that what you see there will be excessively stylized, but you can learn to recognize elements from those designer ads while you're shopping, and learn which elements are on the way out.", "There's a whole blog just for this very issue, and it's a good one. It was on the Time Magazine Best Blogs of 2011 list. http://www.putthison.com/ . I suggest you start with their \"Best Of\" posts, which they list in the right-hand column for easy reference. Then read the \"Q & A\" posts. I'd be SHOCKED if after reading that stuff, you couldn't handle a basic shopping trip for basic, classy, timeless menswear that is appropriate for most social situations. The blog is also attentive to money issues--they talk about things like \"If you can only afford to have a few very versatile pieces, here is what you buy\" or \"Here is the bottom-line price for a halfway decent men's leather belt that will last.\"\n\nPS, kudos to you for having the balls to ask. Most dudes don't.", "For me, it took being unemployed long enough to watch What Not to Wear on a regular basis. I found out what looks good on my body type, tried it, agreed, and now know what kind of clothes to look for.\n\n...this advice doesn't really work for men, as whenever men go on that show, they mostly just shave them clean and dress them up (slacks, suits, button-down shirts, etc.)--you don't get a whole lot of everyday wear advice from them like you do for women. [That said....](http://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/px7sz/true/)", "21-year-old female here. My recommendations:\n\n* Spend a day and find a handful of \"staple\" items. For me, those items are my pea coat (matches with everything), my flannel button-down shirt (which can be worn by itself or over a t-shirt), and my perfect-fit blue jeans (kind of the holy grail of clothing). These items should A) be versatile, and B) look bitchin' on you. They might be hard to find or a little expensive, but just having two or three items that are comfortable and look great on you is a huge everyday self-esteem booster. Use these items as the foundation for your personal look, and build upon them.\n\n* Kind of a subset of the first one, but **never buy ill-fitting jeans**. People are much less likely to notice if you re-wear a pair of jeans than they are to notice a re-worn top; this is especially true if you are male. As a guy, you can get away with only owning 5 pairs of pants, and provided they all fit well, you'll look better-dressed for cheaper than if you'd bought 20 pairs of the cheapest jeans you can find. **It's better to have fewer clothing items that fit well than more clothing items that fit poorly**.\n\n* Find a print that works well for you, and use it. Prints are great for distracting people away from your problem areas, and a kick-ass print that makes you smile will brighten your day when you wear it. I, for example, am addicted to plaid of all sorts of colors; all that I have to do is find some solid-color clothing that matches the plaid, and I have my outfit for the day.\n\n* Utilize the Steve Jobs approach on the less important things, like socks. It makes life a whole lot easier, but doesn't prevent you from looking fresh every day. Also, I cannot recommend black socks enough.

Here's what I like.\n\n* Avoid splashy logos. Not a billboard.\n* Avoid flashy clothes. Remember me, not my clothes.\n* Blue goes with my eyes.\n* Ties must be silk.

That's all I got.", "I sleep very well and am not an expert on why or how. I have heard, however, several possible ways to improve sleep. \n\n1. Stop using your bed for anything but sleep. No laying down to read or use the phone. No eating or snacking or hanging out. Supposedly, using your bed only for sleep is helpful to induce your body's sleep rituals. \n\n2. No phone or electronics or books within 1 hr of bed time. The mental simulation of books or electronics makes your mind too active. \n\n3. No caffeine. There are lots of reasons caffeine isn't good for you but the closer you use it to bed time the less likely you'll be able to relax enough to sleep. It makes your sense of tired preventing you from fading off to sleep\n\n4. This one is sort of weird. Create a simple ritual. The one I heard about was sort of silly but supposedly it works. Anything will do but ideally something low effort and unique enough to not be associated with other activities. Try, for example, rhythmically tapping on your legs while laying in bed and every minute or so slowing the rhythm down until you're basically not tapping anymore. \n\n5. Clean yourself and your bed. Clean sheets and a fresh shower are a great way to increase the cozy factor of your bed. \n\n6. Cold, dark, and ambient noise. I use blackout curtains to darken my room at night. Really heavy duty ones. It's pitch black in my room during the day of I want it. I also keep my room cool during sleep times. Lastly, my brain is easily distracted by outside noises. I use a fan in the distance such as a window across my room to make low level background noise that is rhythmic enough to ignore but loud enough to drown out other sounds. \n\nI can't garuntee these will work for you or that any of them are necessary. You could experiment with adding them one at a time for a week or two and see if there is a positive change. Or, add all of them and slowly remove them looking for negative change, or just try them randomly. \n\nGood luck!!", "Two suggestions:\n\nIdk how you feel about medication, but I have diagnosed insomnia and my psych prescribed me Trazadone. I swear on my life it is the best thing to ever happen to me. I sleep like the *dead*. No side effects that I can think of, but I'm also on a cocktail of meds so Idk what is from what. Absolute miracle pill, imo. \n\nSecond suggestion: Weed and/or Delta 8 *specifically*. Weed makes me giggly, but extremely sleepy. Delta 8, at least in my experience, will knock your ass *out*. It's also legal (but not regulated!), and you can procure it from your local smokers outlet. The edibles will make you more giggly, the vapes (imo ofc) are what take you down.\n\nI know these are both substances and some folks are real picky but I swear by these two. I sleep like absolute dog shit without one or the other (sometimes both). Best of luck. Also keep your bedroom cold.", "For the melatonin, try a slow release capsule instead of the immediate release.

It's the last thing I wanted to think of.\n* Food 2: In 4 or 6 weeks, do more food. By that time, the initial wave has passed and it's a nice break.\n* Check in. Don't wait for them to reach out. Even just a simple text can be so helpful.\n* Listen. Be the friend to whom they can say anything without any judgement. Grief is an unfair and uneven journey.\n* If a charity is listed by the family, make a donation. It doesn't have to be big.

Learn about them and write down the details, later, communicate with them following up on what you learned. Was their kid choosing a college? Ask them which one they went with. Were they working on a big new project? Ask them how it went. After that, when you need something from them, you can ask.

Sometimes that means trying to fit in when you won't, sometimes that means trying to be noticed when you shouldn't. It can hurt to feel like an outcast but it will never hurt as bad as building a life around a lie. You are you. Do what your gut feels is natural and right. The line shouldn't be \"go with the flow\" so much as \"go with YOUR OWN flow.\"\n\n2) Reminding yourself that there will always reasons to be annoyed, but choosing to think differently about them in a way that isn't annoying is better.

The ones that try to shut you down are lobsters in a bucket.\n\n5) Take care of yourself. I often think of a portion of Vonnegut's *Slaughter-House Five* where a soldier in a German concentration camp was made to wear ill-fitting clothes meant for a woman as a form of humiliation. To say \"fuck you\" to the Nazis, he cleaned the clothes, washed himself, shaved and took care of his body so that he could show that he was not defeated. Eat right, sleep, dress yourself in clothes that fit, exercise.\n\n6) Remember that no matter what, you are not alone. There is somebody else who has felt your struggles or something similar. There are other people out there who feel crazy/lost/confused about things. There are folks who look at other humans and just think \"how do you guys do it?\" These people will understand you when you are in the darkness and will know what to say better than most.\n\nThe rest sort of boils down to the cliches.

You need toothpaste with some abrasive in it.\n\n- Scrub the hell out of the inside glass. When you think you've scrubbed it enough, scrub it some more.\n\n- Clean all of the toothpaste off the lenses. Rinse thoroughly.\n\n- Fill the sink about half-full of COLD water and set the mask down in it so it kinda floats. Don't fill the mask with water. Just hold it in the cold water to chill the glass.\n\n- Pick it up and exhale the hottest, warmest breath you can into the mask. Do you see any fogged areas? If so, scrub those again and repeat the breath test.\n\nThis will work about 95% of the time. If the mask continues to fog no matter how much scrubbing you do, you'll need to resort to a more drastic fix.\n\n- You'll need a cigarette lighter.\n\n- The idea here is to burn the coating off the inside of the mask since it won't scrub off.\n\n- Hold the mask so it's right over the lighter. Light it and quickly lick the flame around the inside of the lens. Keep the lens moving at all times. You should burn it for about 2 seconds per lens.\n\n- Scrub out any residue and do the breath test.\n\nThis will solve your problem.", "A spritz of pledge and then wipe with a microfiber towel does the trick for me.

What you're looking for is the Palmer method : http://palmermethod.com/ . This is how people learned to write before typing was common - it was created for businessmen who had to write *quickly* and *legibly*. I think what's often missing in clear writing is the speed - people write badly because it's the only way they can write quickly. If you learn to write correctly from the ground up, however, with whole arm movement, correct pen holding/posture, and minimal finger movement, cursive styles can be faster than almost any illegible scrawl. Palmer is nice because you develop your own style, based on a general technique. It's not boring copy-book work.\n\nA couple tips: practice writing to an online clock or metronome. Focus on whole arm movement. Practice basic shapes over and over - doodle letters in your free time. And-study. CP Zaner (a famous calligrapher) said study as much as you practice. And when you practice, focus on free, easy movement.

Every time you write a single character/letter, write it the EXACT same way each and every time. Your e's should all look alike. Most people with bad handwriting have no consistency in their characters/letters. Each one looks slightly different. 2.) Make sure all caps letters' height are the same and all lower case letters' height are the same. 3.) Write a little darker. 4.) Make straight lines as perfectly straight as you can. 5.) Make the spaces between each character/letter and between each word roughly the same (typically a letter's width is good). BONUS 6.) decide on how you like to slant. With your letters, do you slant then to the left, sight up and down, or to the right? With your sentences, do you slant them downward or upward (on a blank unlined paper)?

Here's how I did it. \n\nFirst, I switched to cursive. You don't have to, but honestly things moved so much faster when I did. It doesn't even have to be permanent, you can switch back to print soon. There are 2 reasons. First, I never wrote in cursive, so I could relearn everything the right way easily. If you have to write fast, write in print. If you can write slow and take your time or are practicing, write in cursive. Once your cursive is good, you can work on writing it faster and faster and implementing it into everyday work. Once p much everything is in cursive, you can switch to relearning print while you use cursive for practical purposes. And honestly when I say relearning, I mean just practicing and improving. Just letting yourself write slowly and carefully should bring improvements over time. \n\nFor practice, I would write the alphabet/the quick brown fox/stuff I needed to memorize. Then I would go through, find errors I wanted to correct, and rewrite the *whole* thing. Then I'd do the same over and over.

If your letter formation sucks but all the angles are the same, it still looks a 1 000 000 x better. [An example of irregular angles](https://writechoice.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/angular_handwriting.jpg). \n2. **Spacing -** Your letters and words should be spaced evenly. This doesn't mean that all your letters have the same amount of room between each other. You need more space between letters that butt up against each other. [Example from Calligraphy Skills](http://www.calligraphy-skills.com/images/550xNxitalic-calligraphy_spacing.gif.pagespeed.ic.kVIYBfUPEe.png). \n3. **Consistency** - All your letters should look quite similar (if not near-identical) to each other. As /u/tlaiphoto said, all your e's should look the same. Your curves should be the same too- \"b\" and \"d\" have should have the same curves, but mirror images of each other obviously. \n\nAlso some quick tips: \n\n* Hold the pen as lightly as you can. Don't deathgrip your pens like I do! \n* Switch to a fountain pen for a bit. When you switch back to ballpens or pencils your writing will have improved. I'm no expert, but I like the Pilot 78G. It's easily accessible, cheap ($15 in Canada), and has a smooth nib for easy writing. I've found the cheaper ones in art stores are super scratchy. \n\ntldr: Consistent angles, letters, and spacing will make any handwriting look better. Grip pen lightly, switch to fountain pen for a bit. ", "Start using a pen that needs less pressure to write. Pilot V5 rollerball, G2, or something like that is a lot better than a standard ballpoint.

If my hands are sore from a workout or so my handwriting is less \"soft\". Also if my hands are cold it looks a look sharper and \"harder\". My mood also plays a role. If I am writing because I have to (I usually don't enjoy writing by hand) then it looks worse than compared to when I write something because I enjoy it.\n\nMy recommendation would be to just practice practice practice and try to get each letter to look like you want it to. Start really slow and thorough and then try to work up your speed but keeping the letters looking the same.", "I had horrible handwriting until i worked at a tutoring center and had to teach kids how to write letters, and decided to re-teach myself because the problem was i was forming my letters wrong.

For me it was all caps. I have had nice blocky handwriting for many years now. ", "I find that writing small really helps. For instance, if you're writing on lined paper try and keep the height of your characters at about half the height of the spacing of the lines. Everything will look crisper, but people with eye trouble will hate you. ", "I don't know if this helps, but I write in all caps and have for years. I asked my dad why he did it when I was a kid, and he told me that was \"how engineers do it.\" All caps is like the written form of using the phonetic alphabet.

I think it has something to do with having the right amount of resistance to regulate my speed and improve my control. Pencils are even better.", "First you can start by practicing. Get a handle on the basics. The thing that makes handwriting look sloppy more than anything is lack of uniformity in the lettering. Have all of your \"A\" letters look the same and the errors seem not to stand out.\n\nWrite an alphabet for yourself. Which letters do you not like the look of? Google for variations and improve upon those letters. Is your C too basic? Add a flourish. Tiny changes until you're happy.\n\nIf you want to write at an angle take that into account and try different angles with different letters. Get comfortable with writing slanted.\n\nAlways practice. It's good to get uniformity.\n\nAlso. Maybe consider buying a nicer pen. I collect fountain pens, a cheap one is a few pounds. \n\n\n", "As others have suggested, slow down.\n\nI have found it is easier for me to read things that I have printed. I can get nice results that way. The font I'm typing with right now is printed - it seems more natural in the digital world.\n\nThink about how you would teach a child. Good samples (find a font you like, type out sentences / alphabets, print them out) and then *practice*.", "After breaking my writing hand, I was shocked (and depressed) to see my \"new\" handwriting. It was as if I was looking at someone else's handwriting.\n\nIt is much better now, after almost 3 years, still not quite but I am much more comfortable with what I write freehand.\n\nIt took a lot of handwriting to get back. In other words (tl;dr), keep writing. It gets better.", "A few years ago I made improving my handwriting my New Year's Resolution. I practiced with the [Getty Dubay method](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0982776225/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_m2hYwbXG3H3D4) and the results were not only improved legibility but also letterforms that were unique from the traditional looped cursive.

About six months ago I printed off a bunch of worksheets from this website http://m.k5learning.com/cursive-writing-worksheets and started learning cursive. Then I started writing my journal entries in cursive and taking notes out of my textbook in cursive. I keep around a picture of the cursive alphabet to double check my writing at times. I Think the key is to practice each letter slowly, until you master the curve and size of each shape of every letter. My cursive is much better than my print. I think this is mainly because I can write so much faster in cursive, due to not picking the pen off of the page.

Be sure to review your materials and have the outline of your presentation firmly committed. Have talking points that expand on your materials and don't just read the slides. Another good way is to shift the focus of attention by eliciting feedback during your talk from the audience, getting people to offer short, easy answered questions. \"Raise your hand if presentations after lunch make you sleepy\". That kind of thing. I've found that it's mainly nervousness from not being comfortable with your pacing and material more than being nervous of the crowd itself. Good luck with it, by the way.

Whenever I had an issue, I would call their customer service - not the people at the desk, but whatever the 1800 main number is... make a cup of coffee, get a magazine, you'll be on hold for a few minutes probably. Anyways, explain the problem, and if you don't get an answer you like, ask to speak to a manager or hang up.\n\nThe customer service people don't always know the rules or policies - they change so frequently that the reps don't always keep up, or don't care. I had a few issues, and tried just speaking to different people. Eventually someone will offer you something - whether it is the value of an item lost or compensation for a hotel room. \n\nDon't be surprised if it gets offered in travel vouchers, though. That's always how I got any sort of reward from United, Continental (before the merge), Delta, etc. Might not help you if you aren't planning on flying anytime soon, but at least it is something.\n\n", "I can't help you, OP. Just wanted to let you know that Delta did the same thing to me...TWICE. \n\nThe first time, I was flying from Philadelphia to Milwaukee, connecting through Northern Kentucky. We landed in Northern Kentucky, went to the board to find out what gate we were supposed to go to, only to discover that our connecting flight to Milwaukee was outright cancelled. Stranded in Northern Kentucky, there was nothing I could do but demand a full refund (including the return flight through Delta, setting me back further financially), renting a car, and driving to Milwaukee. How a practice like this is anything short of criminal is beyond me.\n\nThe second is probably and miraculously more common, but equally infuriating. I had a connection in Atlanta from JFK to Lima, Peru. The flight out of JFK was 20 minutes late, and our layover was basically 15 minutes, so we're sweating the entire duration of the flight to Atlanta. We had alerted the flight attendants, and checked the gate on our phones before the doors opened. Had to go from A Terminal to end of E Terminal. Came running up as they shut the doors on us. Looked out the window at the plane sitting at the gate, not moving, arguing with the supervisor. Gave up arguing, watched with wide eyes and open mouths and stunned silence as the plane continued to sit at the gate, still unmoving, as the supervisor pretended not to notice us.\n\nMan, fuck Delta. Sorry for not posting this in /r/offmychest. I'm all angry just thinking about it now.\nSo, yeah, there's not much to be done. I wrote Delta a nice letter after each incident. After the second one, I assured them that not only would I never fly Delta again, but my children would never fly Delta. My children's children would never fly Delta. I would disavow any friends who ever flew Delta. I would never work for nor hire anyone without a written contract assuring me that they would never fly Delta, their children would never fly Delta, and their children's children would never fly Delta. Whenever I meet a person who flies Delta, I assure them in no uncertain terms that in virtue of their seemingly innocent patronage, they are complicit with and exemplary of all the problems in the world. Then I encourage them to join my ongoing Delta boycott.\nIf I do one good thing in this life, it will be my small contribution to the death of Delta Airlines, which, my friends, cannot come a day too soon.\n\nThey have not yet written back to me, though I eagerly await their reply.", "So I am not sure about the law in the US, but I had the same issue in Spain recently. In Europe, Airlines HAVE to compensate you if a) you are delayed by more than 7 hrs, b) stranded over night. The amount depends on the distance to your destination. To get the money you:\n1) contact customer service, with your booking number and a description of what happened.\n2) you fill out the form they will send asking for your booking details, your card number and a description of what happened. \n3) answer a few security questions on the phone once your form has been processed.\n4) will hae the money 20 days later.\n\nI would imagine that it's pretty similar.", "Nearly the same thing happened to me a few years ago when I was a student returning home from visiting my family. First flight was delayed so long that I was 99% sure I would miss my connecting flight. Tried to preempt this by talking to an agent and asking them to put me on a connecting flight later that evening since I knew there was another one going to my destination. They told me to wait until it was closer to when the delayed flight was leaving in case it left earlier and return to the desk if it was going to be too late. Of course, by that time there was a gigantic line that seemed to not move one inch so I was faced with the conundrum of getting on the flight and hoping I made it in time for the connection or missing it, having to miss at least one day of work I really needed, and being stuck there. I got on the plane and of course missed the connection, then was told the later flight had already been filled (and I would have been able to get on it had they done so when I asked them to) so I got the wonderful opportunity to spend the entire night not sleeping (so my bags didn't get stolen) in the freezing cold airport because they wouldn't put me up in a hotel. I wasn't even offered a voucher despite the fact that they refused to help me when the problem was avoidable.\n\nLesson learned: Fuck Delta, I will never give them another dime if I can help it.", "> Delta will provide either written or oral notification to the passenger of any Delta \noperated flight booked via Delta’s telephone or Internet reservations systems which possess a \nsingle flight number but which requires an en-route change of aircraft.\n\nThey are required to notify you when your mid-point involves a plane change. You can try bugging them about this one (RULE 185 B) I believe the exception listed refers to when you are already told there is another plane involved (lawyery and not that interested in disecting it).\n\nOther portions of interest are 240 B, which says they have to get you to your final destination or offer you a proper refund after 90 minutes. (By boarding the next flight you declined the later). 240 C then goes onto say that they are only required to provide additional stuff if you are delayed by 4 hours by a non-weather related reason. (Technically force majeure includes other things, but almost every case people run into is weather).\n\nBasically if you want to claim they were liable you have to say that the weather wasn't the root cause of the delay. Problem is realistically the only way to make them stick to this contract is to sue.\n\nI would recommend mentioning that you weren't notified as 185 B implies they are required to, and that the primary cause of the delay was the broken plane upon arrival, not the weather prior to departure.", "How is a broken gate weather related?

They tried to strand me in Detroit (!) last summer, we're going to put everyone up in cheap hotels with generous $6 meal vouchers. Ended up finding a sub flight and a rental car (would not have gotten paid had I missed getting here in time). But that was Deltas policy then. It was weather caused as well. ", "Not sure if it applies exactly, but in my aviation law class a couple years ago we went over \"gauge change\" (can't remember which actual law it's in). It's basically an idea that carries over from trains, where if they switch the gauge of the tracks or wheels or something (it affects the comfort of the ride) after you've purchased the ticket, you can ask for a refund. It translates to if they decide to use a different plane than the one you bought a ticket for and you don't want to be on that plane, you can get a refund. Maybe it could be stretched to cover the whole nonconnecting flight problem, and since you weren't told until after you boarded could be grounds for a refund? I am by no means a lawyer and didn't continue to study the nuances of aviation law after this class, but I'm sure a google search of it could tell you more", "This is why I book all my air travels on my Amex.

You were being reassigned to another gate, and that again was due to your weather delay. \n\n>It turns out that the connecting flight we were supposed to take had taken off while we were stuck on the runway. The next flight is at 7 AM.\n\nThe plane you were supposed to take was the plane you arrived on to LAX. The flight you were supposed to take on to San Jose was cancelled due to weather. If they tried booking you onto the next flight, but you did not make it because of your weather delay, that's unfortunate, but not something you were entitled to. \n\n>The next morning we go back and our flight is delayed.. again.. because they can't locate the flight attendant.\n\nHow long was your delay? \n\n>If I would have known prior to purchasing this ticket that it wasn't a direct flight, I wouldn't have gone.\n\nLook carefully at your e-mail confirmation and look to see if it mentions a stop with a \"1\" next to or under it. If it's true that you had originally booked a direct flight, you may have a case. \n\nI would like to say how sorry I am this happened to you, I have been there myself. Most of the comments here are giving you advice based on what people THINK should be law or airline policy, but they aren't based on the truth. All of your delays were weather related, and they therefore have no obligation to refund you. They did take you on to San Jose eventually, which is all they were contractually obligated to do. \n\nYou may want to consider travel insurance in the future, as sadly you are powerless in these situations without it. ", "I would try and e-mail their customer support. My mom and aunt had issues with Delta a few months back. Flight got delayed in Detroit, and therefore they missed their connecting flight to Australia (which usually only leaves once a day). Because of the length of flight and time differences, they lost 2 days off their very expensive trip. And Delta employees were very unhelpful the whole time. My mom e-mailed their customer support when she got back and they responded very quickly in a VERY personalized e-mail that was very lengthy. They ended up giving my mom and aunt $300 each.

You will regret wasting so much time when you have so little time to spare\n* get a proper messenger bag. preferably one that has a waist strap. A waist strap puts the main weight of your bag on your waist and hips. No more shoulder aches.\n* pack smart. Your bag should be light and not contain anything that you don't use regularly. I recommend going through what you have in your bag regularly, taking out stuff you don't use often.\n* keep your bag in an accessible spot at home. Put everything back immediately when you take something out. This cuts down on packing time and you don't forget anything.\n* find out what your optimal sleep duration is. This way you can optimize the time you are awake without exhausting yourself. I found out that I need about 5:45 to 6 h every night. Stick to it, don't sleep too long on weekends.\n* do not have any important meetings immediately after you arrive at home. There will be delays. Give yourself a margin and have a few things you can do to fill the margin when everything goes smoothly. Don't hesitate to leave early when you have something important. Its easier and more relaxing to work late another day if you plan it and easier then rescheduling most of the time.\n* buy lots of tupperware containers and cook extra food every time you cook. freeze ready-to-eat meals and have a few in your fridge to chose from. That way you get something proper to eat very day without having to cook all the time. Instant time-save.\n* make sure you have identified all sources of information you need for your commute. Especially disruptions on route and delays.\n* notifications should be tailored to your needs. you don't care about delays on the weekend or when you arrive. You don't care about delays and interruptions on other lines. Getting to much info you don't care about will stress you in the long run. You could actually turn this into a project you can work on on the train and program an app for your phone that gives you exactly the info you need. I went even further and wrote some scripts that check delays a minute before my alarm clock goes off which will move my wakeup time half an hour back if there is lots of delays and cancelled trains and informs work automatically. After the alarm goes off my phone starts reading delays aloud. This tells me what to expect before I have left my bed.\n* do not hesitate to wait at home when there are disruptions on your route. It does not help you to stand on the platform. Wait until things go better and take the second or third train that goes. The first is usually packed with all the people who did wait at the station.\n* be open and proactive in your communication about being late. Switch jobs if your boss gives you shit for being late ocassionally. With your commute you cannot be on time all the time.\n* if your working hours are flexible: Use it! It helps a lot to have a few hours extra at home once or twice a week. You get more out of it than just having the same short amount of time at home every day.\n* if you can work from home occasionally: do it! it will save you 3 to 3,5 hours every time you do it! identify tasks you can do better at home than at the office and save them for when you work at home.\n* talk to your boss and negotiate. i can work on the train as much as i want to and i usually use the time to get organized and get rid of emails before i arrive at the office. this reducec the time you have to spend at the office.\n* get a dishwasher and a washer/dryer. having them in the comfort of your home reduces the time you spend on laundry significantly.\n* again if your hours are flexible: try diffferent trains. leaving 10 min later or earlier may be the difference between peace and quiet and feeling like cattle.\n* check if there are other differences between different departures. less stops cuts down noise and movement on the train.\n* find the optimal place to sit. it is better to have personal space and quiet on the way than being off the train first or nearest the station exit. That is where all the really stressed people flock. The really stressed people are usually the ones that stress you the most. check if you can get a better seat by being at the station a few minutes early. This is well-invested time. I recommend having a wall or partition behind you.\n* try different routes to and from the train station(s). it is worth to lose a minute or two for not having to navigate crowds.\n* same goes for traffic lights. eliminate them from your route or wait. crossing on red will add to your stress level. its not much but you stress level margin is thin enough as it is as a commuter.\n* try other exits to leave the station. it might add a minute or two but it is time well spend if you can avoid being part of the herd.\n* for the love of whatever you believe in: don't become one of those people who talk on their phone. respect the peace and quiet that most commuters seek.\n* identify other regulars on the train that annoy you and start to avoid them. its better to be a bit further from the exit when getting off the train than being annoyed by someone for the whole trip.\n* buy a first-class ticket. I started travelling first class and with the tax reduction it boils down to about 1,5 USD per day more but you get: more space, less people, most of them are less noisy (i found that most people who chose first class do it for the peace and quiet) and you are more flexible. Even the peak traffic trains are usually not terribly crowded in first class.\n* identify boring chores and routines that you can save time on. every minute you cut you can use for something more fun.\n* spending money on time-saving is almost always worth it. 15 mins a day more are quite a lot when you don't have much time to spare.\n* get some excercise twice a week or so. doesn't have to be much but it improves your mood and your energy levels.\n* do not get stressed or angry when there are delays or canceled trains. All it does is drain your energy. You can't change it so plan for it and just go with it.\n\ni probably have lots of ideas and tips that i can't come up with right now but i think this is enough to get you going.\n\ntl;dr: spend time and money on saving and building energy and reducing stress. identify time consuming stuff everywhere and optimize. optimize for personal space, peace and quiet where and whenever you can. find something meaningful to do on the train.\n", "Music and a book.\n\nI had a two hour commute not too long ago.\n\nSoothing music in the morning while I shut my eyes.\n\nOn my way back I will read then take a nap. \n\nSometimes I would listen to an audio book.\n\nI highly recommend John Greene's Mastery.", "Mine is more like an hour, but can take up to 90 minutes if traffic is really bad.

Little things like this help make your morning easier, reduce frustration, and allow you to sleep a couple minutes longer. \n\nIf you're a coffee drinker, buy a travel mug and make your own coffee at home! It'll save you time and money. I use a carabiner to attach my travel mug to my bag when I'm not using it, so I can keep my hands free.\n\nPack light! I switched from a bulky backpack to a small laptop messenger bag. It makes it easier to walk around and get through crowds. \n\nLastly, music helps. I stream music during my train ride and also have access to Wi-Fi to use my laptop and get some work done.", "I listen to podcasts and Pandora, I also use duolingo and elevate apps. On the driving portion of my commute I alternate between listening to the \"Stuff You Should Know\" podcast and comedy radio on Pandora. On the non-driving portion of my commute I do a language lesson or 2 on Duolingo and my daily exercise on Elevate. \n\n\nBasically I try and learn as much as possible on my commute. ", "I have the same. I've lived on Long Island and taught in NYC for lack of local jobs for the last 2 years. Now in my 3rd year 3rd school. One way commute times; first year my commute was 1:45-2:30 between train walking and subways depending on time of day and incidents. Second year I had about 1-1:30 driving which was nice and drastically better but still sucked. Current is about 1:30 but all driving. \n \nTrain was nice for reading, getting planning done and sleeping but ultimately uncomfortable and not predictable. While driving I just listen to music and on the way in I mentally plan. On the way home though I'm left to my own devices. Generally just loud music and a cigar or cigarette. I'm not happy about it but it does make the ride more bearable. I now have access to a carpool and have found that alone also makes a big difference in bearability.\n \nThe best music I found was just DJ mixes from YouTube. I download the audio portion and listen to them. Sometimes the mixes are longer than my ride which is cool, I don't even get thru one whole one so how long is the ride really. It also stops me from getting tired of my favorite songs and other general listening music. Nu Jazz and Electro Swing are my new mixes. I also enjoy some from 'Going Quantum' and 'The iniquitous sessions'", "I feel ya.

Cut it up into big sized portions! For example: *You want to get a high score the SAT or GRE, you’re smart enough but you struggle with tests due to distract-ability or something, and you freeze and slow down and get distracted when a tough problem happens.*\n\nSo how do you study to do better!? Easy-ish! At the outset You break up the sections of the exam math, reading/writing, science etc. you then take a pretest to find out your week eases and inherent talents. You then look at which scores need to be improved and you work on those areas harder. Make a schedule on a week by week basis so that you can get stuff done. You schedule routine practice problems and quizzes every day and every week. And mock exams once a month. Then your calendar is filled up. Each month when you take a exam, if the problem is wrong you drill it on paper until you have it memorized. Then take that problem and put it on your calendar to be done first twice a day for 2 days, then once a day for 3 days, then once every other day for 5 days, then twice a week. , then once a week. Then once every two weeks. Break this cycle and start over again if you get it wrong once. \n\nDo this with every problem area and plan it on a calendar bit by bit, subject by subject until you have gone through everything. \n\n**This example is extreme but is played out to give you an idea of how to crush a goal. You can have big aspirations, but you have to do two things: 1) pace your self 2) set smaller individual goals that will lead to your big goal**\n\nIn quality control there is a problem solving tactic ( I think called route cause analysis or it’s part of it) which asks how did this “thing” happen. Say like someone slipping and falling on a ladder because of an oil slick in the mechanic shop. Well Jim climbed the ladder to fast because he was in a hurry to change the lightbulb. But he slipped on oil on the ladder because he walked through the oil without seeing it. However Paul spilled that oil in that area of the shop which is considered a boil oil zone because it is for replacing electrical wire in sensitive electronics and the oil degrades the cable insulation. Oil should have never been brought into that room. That room has booties, Paul didn’t wear the booties so he tracked oil into the electronic repair room (*this is hypothetical because I’m sure a mechanic will tell me oil is everywhere in a car repair mechanic shop*). So Paul should have worn booties. Why didn’t he? He was rushing to get Eric a fixture from the car which was due back to the customer soon. Because Peter the manager promised the car back in 30 minutes even though the car has several things wrong with it that would take 4 hours. So everyone was rushing im through the electronic repair room and a sequence of event led to the final incident where Jim slipped on the ladder because oil made it into the room onto Jim’s booties that would have had traction in the ladder but not with oil under them. \n\nThere’s alot going on here, but basically you find out the main goal. That whole second example shows the inverse of a sequence of events. Finding out how a big thing happened. So how do you make a big thing happen that you want to happen? You set up the sequence of events. \n\nBreak it up into the biggest possible chunks, am find out what you need to do for those big chunks and break those into smaller and smaller subchunks and those subchunks into chunklets, and those chunklets into minichunks, all the way until you think each part of the project is manageable on a day-to-day basis. This is exactly how they get a large project like a building built in a small amount of time (when they actually do that) this is also why people invented software like Microsoft Project. But there’s other ways of project management too. \n\nAnyway…. **Big into little**.

Just remember to start small, one by one.\n* When doing that list, think of the reason for each specific change you want to make. Say you want to start running to become more active and healthier, but you find out you hate running. There are other ways to become active and healthy, so you just change the way, not the goal.\n* Be gentle with yourself. Say you want to eat better, and you get a full week of healthy eating.

I realized that a huge part of my issue was feeling out of control, because as a child the doctor we went to gave penicillin injections for everything. This feeling of having no control over my own body and as a result experiencing pain traumatized me.\n\nOnce I learned how to do these procedures, I was fascinated by them. I also came to see healthcare personnel as helpers, rather than people who enjoyed torturing me. As a patient, I find it much easier to watch as blood is being drawn. If I'm getting a shot for something, I don't like to be distracted with small talk or silly questions. I have to focus on the moment, accepting and embracing the sensations. It also helps to make the muscle at the injection site go totally loose. If you tense up, the muscle is tight and it hurts more.\n\nIf your wife is open to it, I'd suggest learning about these procedures: how they're done, why certain muscles are used for the injections, what angle the needle has to go in to draw blood. When you become familiar with these things they really are less scary. Also, remind her that she is there because she *wants* to be, and that no one is making her go through the procedure. She could get up and leave if she wanted to! Lastly, don't tolerate rude medical staff. It will make you feel out of control and violated. This is the part where you leave if you have to. Find someone compassionate and understanding. \n\nHope this helps!", "I used to have a really bad fear of needles; now its not nearly as bad- whenever I get shots or have blood drawn, I pull out my phone and play some games, read an article, etc. prior to the shot.

That's the whole reason I go to the gym and the thought of being able to have more fun in those activities thanks to the effort I put in the gym is enough to make me want to go every time. Also, you get noticeable results pretty quickly when you do strength training. I mean, you won't look any different right away, but you'll notice the functional benefits.

You'll feel more like you can tackle the task of going to the gym, you'll feel more confident, you'll feel more like moving and working, and it'll be easier to ignore whatever voice is telling you to stay at home and do something else.\n\nBuilding hobbies doesn't work for everyone. I'm fairly fit but my workout schedule is inconsistent as hell. I can't make myself do it habitually because it's really dependent on my mood and my mood fluctuates.

This is were most people do themselves in. If it makes you sore, or its a drag, you won't want to do it, that's natural. Build the activity slowly, so that the increases are hardly perceivable, do it because its a pleasure, not because you should. If you are sore, your doing it wrong.

Don't do this if you want cr", "Call attention to the risks their plan has. When speaking to risks be specific, instead of \"that will be more difficult to complete\" you could say \"that will require more man hours to complete\". Management talks dollars and bullshit.\n\nUnfortunately, if the management was won over you're only other option is to pointedly call attention to the risks and highlight alternatives. If you're the expert on the subject, it's either well known you are or you're over estimating yourself. Be sure to make it so it's the former. ", "So I can't say I'm an expert, but a few tips that can apply to meetings.\n\n1) Preparation is key; show up prepared to talk, bring notes, take notes. I run some meetings in my organization and nothing makes me think \"that person just showed up because they have to\" more than a person who doesn't show up with at least a notepad and who never writes down a thing during the meeting. On the other hand, someone who shows up with notes/ideas and actually refers to them during the meeting looks professional, organized and most importantly, probably the most informed.\n\n2) You need allies and don't need enemies. I think FaithCPR had a great point about the \"That's a good idea...\". Compliment other people's ideas - even if it's just a \"I like what you intended there...\" or something of that nature. It's a lot harder for them to talk over you/disagree with you if they believe you value their ideas too.\n\n3) Positive language is critical. There's a theory in relationship building that you should never use the word \"no\". Let's say you ask someone out on a date and he/she doesn't want to. They can just say \"no\" and be done with it, or they can say \"I'm flattered, but I'm not interested in you that way\". Either way you are not going on a date with them, but which one will leave you respecting and listening to that person going forward? In a work environment that means using words like \"challenges\" instead of \"issues\", it means \"learning opportunity\" instead of \"problem\". I know it sounds like crap, but eventually it affects how you see things and how people see you. In that meeting you can be seen as the positive influence towards a goal or as the roadblock.\n\n4) Probably most important is to listen to everyone and NEVER look like you are just waiting for someone to stop talking so you can speak. We've all seen the person who's mouth opens to speak 5 times or who literally reaches their hand out into the meeting as if that gives them the right to make the next comment. As soon as you know what you want to say, write a brief reminder note and then start listening again. I've both been guilty of it and seen it so many times where someone finally gets to make their point only for someone else to comment how we just covered that or how it was mentioned already. Seriously listen to everyone, look at them, see what is important to them and try to understand what they really want. It's just courteous and you will quickly become the person people are speaking to directly in the meeting rather than someone on the periphery.\n\nThere are a lot of books/tutorials out there that will go into other things such as body language, eye contact, controlling a meeting, chairing a meeting, etc... but the truth is, meetings are hard work if you want to achieve your goals; pretend you are in charge and imagine what would impress you. When you understand that you will have the confidence to control the meeting how you want and once it happens the first time it becomes much easier going forward.\n\nGL", "The best way is to seek them out before the group meeting. Hear their position and work that in. You were over ridden because you didn't get buy in. You could be an expert but if it doesn't fit everyone's goals you will just get that result you had today.

One of the best things to do really is to *just breathe* to regulate the nervous system, but as one of my teen clients put it, \"that's condescending as fuck in the moment.\" It can also send people spiraling further if they have CPTSD/haven't had the opportunity (yet!) to develop the capacity to self-soothe or are otherwise dysregulated to the point where bringing focus more internally is just not a great option (like with clients with chronic pain or strong physical anxiety/trauma). So if breathing exercises aren't on the table, the best advice I have is the classic external exercise of 5-4-3-2-1 grounding:\n\n​\n\n5 - things you can see\n\n4 - things you can feel\n\n3 - things you can hear\n\n2 - things you can smell\n\n1 - taste/name something positive about yourself\n\n​\n\nIn my personal life I'm a nerd so beyond breathing exercises, like box breathing, I like to hum the ABC's or something since humming relaxes the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is stimulated when your system is dysregulated for whatever reason and it can set off more biological reactions that wig you out even further. Also a big fan of literal grounding like laying down on the floor and relaxing into it. I do that between sessions sometimes.\n\nReally anything that can regulate your system more will bring more of your executive functioning back online, so petting pets, playing with fidgets, putting on warmer or cooler clothes, or doing anything mindfully. DBT skills are great to learn for this reason. We are also contextually created people, so removing yourself from your present environment/stressor if you feel yourself starting to get activated (whatever that means for you, I usually notice myself getting more agitated or my stomach starting to ache) can do wonders.

But it's a small price to pay for some piece of mind. In terms of being sensitive about what others say to you, you have to come to an understanding that no one is perfect (you or them), and that we are all a work in progress.

Too little twigs and such the fire goes out and your boned, so usually larger is better as if you use too much, you just have to wait longer or try to adjust things or put the charcoal on later.\n\nThe T-pee is going to collapse as the wood burns and concentrate the charcoal coals in the center, once they are all red (may require moving some to get them all going) and the flame goes out, it's time to spread them out evenly and start cooking.\n\nYou don't want to cook over direct flames as that just burns the food. Fatty foods like chicken should be cooked over aluminum foil as that will protect then from getting burned from flare ups, only when at the end when you add the sauce do you want it over the direct flame for a searing/charred effect.\n\nYou need a high prolonged steady heat to cook thick foods thoroughly, if the juices spatter and make a flame, it's ok for a little bit as to sear the outside and give the food the fire taste, however if it's excessive then you use a water spray bottle to knock the flame back or it will burn the food. The cover is designed to create a oven like effect and cook the food more thoroughly and faster, it often has a air flow to not snuff the fire out with it's own smoke. This has to be carefully adjusted as you don't want it too high or too low, just right for all your foods.\n\nCooking times of various food is different, you can burn food or under cook it if you don't know your temps and times for various foods. The longest cooking items go on first, followed by the next and until the shortest cooking items as to have all the food ready at once.\n\nFor instance raw ribs take the longest to cook, why many pre-boil/cook them inside first. Chicken requires 350 degrees F for at least 45 minutes, steaks take about 5-7 minutes on each side, hamburgers, pork, hot dogs and chicken require to be a certain temperature in the center or people can get sick.\n\nSteak is different as the meat doesn't become infected by airborne bacteria on the inside only the outside, why one can order a \"black and blue\" steak which is seared on the outside and raw on the inside or any way all the way up to well done.\n\nPork can carry a bug that needs to be thoroughly heated (well done) to kill.\n\nChicken, hamburger, hotdogs all need to be cooked well done as they can contain salmonella. \n\nCorrection: You need to cook hamburgers to a certain temperature in the center as to kill the bacteria, but it doesn't have to be exactly well done which makes it rather dry in the center. A juicy hamburger is good, but it has to be very hot in the center also\n\nI highly recommend you read a very good book that explains the science behind BBQ's before you sicken yourself or others.

This changed the game for me when I was socially isolated and now I'm way more confident. A lot of the tricks in here can be adapted to talk to women.\n\nThe biggest things I learned were (a) give no fucks, (b) smile and laugh, (c) treat people like people. These are not easy lessons to learn but you'll get there. The book taught me B and C and I eventually acquired A on my own.", "My tip, from personal experience.\n\n*Don't have text conversations*. Reserve texting/messaging/calling to organize the next time you can see them in person. You don't need any social skills to type \"Hey, want to grab lunch today?\" \n\nFrom there, others have brought up some pretty good points about conversation. ", "Just don't care. Girls know when u care too much or ur trying. Don't try. Be as laid back and uncaring as possible. When ur not thinking of what u should say, ur usually gonna think of a right thing to say. ", "Questions, then LISTEN to what she says, and build from there. I prefer text communication since it gives me more time to think of what I want to say and I can go back and read things so I don't forget what was said. ", "Girls are humans too. Get out of the paradigm that they're special creatures on a pedestal. Girls *want* you to talk normal, and not be nervous around them. \"Hi how are you?\" Is a great way to open to a girl. Get her to talk about herself (and listen), and share yourself honestly. \n\nAs for texting, just use texting specifically to organise meet ups. You use manners of course, but try don't have a long conversation by text (unless she seems to want to). Save it for face to face.", "You really just have to do it. Approach her and be friendly. Strike up a conversation about the most random thing and ask questions to get to know her. It is only awkward if you make it awkward. ", "You can text me, I'll pretend you're a girl, and then afterwards do the exact opposite of whatever I've been doing. Can't fail. ", "The idea that you don't know what to say is simply BS. When someone says \"I don't know what to say\", what they're really saying is \"I don't know what to say that will GUARANTEE me a POSITIVE response from the person\". The reality is you ALWAYS know what to say, you're just putting on a filter and caring too much about what the other person thinks.", "Stop thinking about a girl like an item and treat her like a person you're having a conversation with and it will work. You will fuck up at times. Talking and being social is a skill you need to work at to get better. There is no magic solution. ", "People like to talk about themselves. Ask her about herself. Ask what she enjoys doing, what her favorite song is, etc, etc. But make sure you actually pay attention to what she says or you'll go nowhere fast.\n\nThe biggest mistake is to strike up conversation when you don't have anything to say. That's a quick way to end things.", "I don't like texting my girlfriend because she'll always put \"...\" or just say \"okay\" to what i say to her. She's completely different in person though. ", "Ask questions, listen to answers. Recieve questions, give answers. Talk about something that happend to you and have her talking about something that happend to her.\n\nGet excited. Use facial expressions and hands and your whole body to bring excitement into whatever you are talking about. This will make you more creative in general.\n\nThis is like a first phase of hanging out with someone. \n\nThe second phase is doing stuff together, being creative and having fun.

Stay with Mom and Dad a couple more years. Learn what your parents know how to do, like being adults. Cook dinner for the family once a week. Learn how the family bills are paid. Learn what an escrow account is. Learn to do home maintenance. Get a part time job so when you do graduate you can show a work history and gain experience working with the public. Maybe you're one of the rare 18ish year olds that already knows how to adult, but don't think that you're going to learn much about adulting at a 4 year University. Unless by \"life experiences\" these commenters mean getting wasted and hooking-up all the time then the 4 year University will be better for that. The mountain of debt will stay with you much longer than the value of those experiences. Good luck what ever you choose.", "I can show you my loans for a four year at a university one of my biggest regrets man. Can't make any progress paying 60k in loans back even with a good job.\n\nGen eds at a university are an utter waste of money IMO, and you're usually in classes of 500+ students. Teacher never knows you or cares, and many students fail. My math 111 class had a 65% fail rate... Despite what people think or say, there are some brilliant educators and individuals at community colleges, we aren't always inclined to take this approach and want the experience but let me say, life goes on after college. It's essentially preparing you for life after, and with a university, loans cut significantly into that.", "First of all, stop thinking about your friend so much. It's your life and your future. \n\nThis isn't really an LPT, because the answer depends on the details. A community college is a lot cheaper, but won't offer the same experiences that you can get at a university. You will get the cr", "Community college transfer here. I spent about four years total at my JC before transferring to State college (first sem this upcoming fall, mech. engineering major). \n\nThe reason why I spent four years is because I did poorly in my placement tests which required me to take prerequisites for my general education classes. \nAlso not taking my classes seriously resulted in a lot of repeat classes. However, I have friends that have stayed about three years then transferring out. Two years was hard to compete at my JC because classes weren't held every semester and some were really full and I would have to wait till next semester. \n\nIf the college you got accepted to is the college you really wanna attend. I would accept that right away. The reason being is after completing your gen Ed, you would have to apply again to that same college. In the future, that college could be impacted and would be difficult for you to get in again. \n\nI would only suggest JC for students that want to receive higher education but not know what major to take. You can afford to make mistakes like failing a class and the price isn't as heavy as it is at a university. \n\nI wouldn't worry about the financial comparison between a junior college and a university. The major you earn at the end should be able to cover for it hopefully. ", "You'll need to learn to make your own path in life even as friends experience disappointment. Money is a relevant concern and a real friend would be understanding of your life, rather than petulant as a result. ", "Most of the replies so far are right on track. I'd also offer this. I was at a futurist conference a few months ago, and a guy (tech billionaire, but not one of the uber-celebrity ones) said this: the worst return on investment in America is the student loan. His advice was to work while taking community college classes, then transfer when you can finish your degree in 18-24 months. As an employer, I can tell you from experience that no one really cares that you went to community college; many organizations have minimum qualification standards that include a bachelor's degree, but beyond that, most BA/BS/BSc degrees carry equal weight, unless you went to Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, etc.", "If money is an issue with you there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you should go the community college route. If your friend cannot understand you making a wise financial decision for your future then perhaps they are not the friend you thought they were. You will have plenty of time to get the college experience during your last two years at University. Additionally, since community colleges tend to be less rigorous academically than 4 year schools, you have the opportunity to graduate with a 4.0 as a pretty reachable goal. If you get straight A's there is a possibility you could get a scholarship for the final two years at University. Also, you could work at the same time thus graduating with much less debt. The key is to graduate with little or no debt. In 5 to 10 years after college when you want to buy a house you will be very glad that you aren't still paying off those loans...and your friend may or may not still be in your life!! Good luck and make wise choices!!\n", "Comp Sci courses are usually really bad at community college (community college student here). You can go to a 4 year, just do general ed/ mandatory non major courses over summer at a local community college and make sure they transfer to save money", "This is a difficult decision that depends on a million different details. I have two universities near me and one's tuition is 50k a year while the other is 6k. If that university you're looking into is around a few thousand a year then maybe the debt won't be as bad in the long haul. If possible, you could contact the school and ask them if they have any programs to help with tuition that aren't financial aid, something like work study or jobs on campus that cover tuition expenses or even payment plans that spread the cost. College/university can be a really great but also difficult period and having a friend to rely on can help. Go to the university for a better education and more opportunities. Go to college if you want a less stressful experience.", "My question would be are you going for the experience or for the paper? If you are going for a degree only, and don't care about the experience then the cost is the major factor. If you are going for the experience then would spending the next 2 years with your friend exploring the world of the collegiate campus be worth the extra debt that you will likely incur. You might also be able to score scholarships/grants rather than loans if you really want this route.", "I mean, this is really a decision between saving money or getting 'the college experience' (sooner). Saving money is obviously great. But you may have a more fun & interesting time socially if you go straight to university. Don't worry about what your friend will think, though. Do what's best for you. In the end it comes down to what you value more (which partially depends on what you can afford now/after graduating, and how many friends you have that are staying nearby for college that you could spend time with if you choose community college)", "As someone who works at a big tier 1 research school, 90% of the time you're better off going to a two year school right out of high school. Be careful about what you take, check on your transfer status, work hard, save money. \n\nYou can save a ridiculous amount of money. And unlike AP classes, a good junior college is teaching more or less exactly what the big school is teaching for freshman and sophomore intro classes. We're having more and more trouble with AP Calculus students who want to take Cal II, for example, but no trouble at all with students transferring in Calculus from junior colleges. Same with Chemistry, Physics, etc. \n\nYou can still have fun, you can still go out, you can still join stuff. Heck, if it's a commuter college (which most two year schools are) they'll be begging for people to do stuff like student government and honors programs. \n\nIf you have a full ride to an elite program, go to the big school.

[LONG POST AHEAD] So basically, I live in Pakistan. 1 USD is currently 104 PKR as of posting this. \n\nI am fed up of my country and have made a goal for myself to leave this country in the matter of a year or year and a half at max so that I can get a job in America, give more to my family and build my life. \n\nNOW comes the fun part! \n\nAccording to me meeting several people and talking to Americans from here and other sources, they are saying you need AT LEAST 10,000 USD to survive the first few months which includes Apartment rent, security etc. \n\nI am the kind of guy who can survive 2-3 days on a 6\" Subway sandwich and water, I just need 4 hours of sleep a day to function and 1 day of 10-hour sleep to recuperate. So out of food, shelter and clothing, only shelter is the essential i'll need since clothing I'll have in spades when I come to America. \n\nSo doing even overtime in America to earn will not be a problem for me since I am currently doing a 10 AM - 7/8 PM job while still managing to watch all my shows (which is ... alot), give time to the family, visit relatives etc. \n\nNow the fun part comes. I currently have a bachelors degree and the best job in my field will at its peak pay me 35,000 - 40,000 PKR (350 - 400 USD respectively) PER MONTH. \n\nNow, Sadly, I have to contribute a fixed amount of my pay to the household along with brothers to pay for essentials like utilities, wages of the house etc, keep in mind that in the east, keeping house staff is needed, especially for my elderly mother who my brothers and I are retiring due to her health. \n\nSo, Even at 35,000 PKR a month, I surrender 23,000 to the household, leaving me with 12,000 PKR for the remainder of the month + pocket money from dad (fixed at 3k PKR) + Money I make from writing online (Which with my current schedule, will only give me 5-6,000 PKR a month). \n\nSo, with the above paragraph, I am looking at MAYBE 18,000 a month, with my MOST pessimistic side showing. and 18,000 * 12 = 2,16,000. PKR which is ~2,100 USD. \n\nAt this rate. I will have to wait 4 - 5 years to ever see America ... Which I can't. \n\nNow, before you guys start, I want to make it clear **BANK LOANS, SHORT TERM OR LONG TERM** are out of the question! I can take a short loan of say 200-300,000 at max since brothers and I will work to pay that off, but no loans exceeding 300,000 PKR. \n\nSo now Reddit, I come to you, as the thirsty crow looking to fill the bottle of water with stones. Please give me any advice you can to help further my venture and if there is any way I can take a shortcut to America? \n\nI will LITERALLY do anything for the person that gives me the best advice which I can practically carry out. \n\nI thank you for reading this far if you have and if you have any questions at all, feel free to fire them away!

"], "suffix": ["I lost my dad. He was 58. My wife lost her brother and grandpa 2 years later, they were 36 and 65.\n\nThis helped so much and it's worth the read:\n\nSTEVEN KALAS: When you lose a child, grieving is a lifelong experience\n\nWhen our first child is born, a loud voice says, “Runners, take your marks!” We hear the starting gun and the race begins. It’s a race we must win at all cost. We have to win. The competition is called “I’ll race you to the grave.” I’m currently racing three sons. I really want to win.\n\nNot everyone wins.\n\nI’m here at the national meeting of Compassionate Friends, an organization offering support and resources for parents who lose the race. I’m wandering the halls during the “break-out” sessions. In this room are parents whose children died in car accidents. Over there is a room full of parents of murdered children. Parents of cancer victims are at the end of the hall. Miscarriages and stillbirths are grouped together, as are parents who have survived a child’s suicide. And so it goes.\n\nIn a few minutes, I’m going to address Compassionate Friends. This is the toughest audience of my life. I mix with the gathering crowd, and a woman from Delaware glances at my name tag. Her name tag has a photo of her deceased son. My name tag is absent photos.\n\n“So … you haven’t … lost anyone,” she says cautiously.\n\n“My three sons are yet alive, if that’s what you’re asking me,” I say gently.\n\nShe tries to nod politely, but I can see that I’ve lost credibility in her eyes. She’s wondering who invited this speaker, and what on earth he could ever have to say to her.\n\nMy address is titled “The Myth of Getting Over It.” It’s my attempt to answer the driving questions of grieving parents: When will I get over this? How do I get over this?\n\nYou don’t get over it. Getting over it is an inappropriate goal. An unreasonable hope. The loss of a child changes you. It changes your marriage. It changes the way birds sing. It changes the way the sun rises and sets. You are forever different.\n\nYou don’t want to get over it. Don’t act surprised. As awful a burden as grief is, you know intuitively that it matters, that it is profoundly important to be grieving. Your grief plays a crucial part in staying connected to your child’s life. To give up your grief would mean losing your child yet again. If I had the power to take your grief away, you’d fight me to keep it. Your grief is awful, but it is also holy. And somewhere inside you, you know that.\n\nThe goal is not to get over it. The goal is to get on with it.\n\nProfound grief is like being in a stage play wherein suddenly the stagehands push a huge grand piano into the middle of the set. The piano paralyzes the play. It dominates the stage. No matter where you move, it impedes your sight lines, your blocking, your ability to interact with the other players. You keep banging into it, surprised each time that it’s still there. It takes all your concentration to work around it, this at a time when you have little ability or desire to concentrate on anything.\n\nThe piano changes everything. The entire play must be rewritten around it.\n\nBut over time the piano is pushed to stage left. Then to upper stage left. You are the playwright, and slowly, surely, you begin to find the impetus and wherewithal to stop reacting to the intrusive piano. Instead, you engage it. Instead of writing every scene around the piano, you begin to write the piano into each scene, into the story of your life.\n\nYou learn to play that piano. You’re surprised to find that you want to play, that it’s meaningful, even peaceful to play it. At first your songs are filled with pain, bitterness, even despair. But later you find your songs contain beauty, peace, a greater capacity for love and compassion. You and grief — together — begin to compose hope. Who’da thought?\n\nYour grief becomes an intimate treasure, though the spaces between the grief lengthen. You no longer need to play the piano every day, or even every month. But later, when you’re 84, staring out your kitchen window on a random Tuesday morning, you welcome the sigh, the tears, the wistful pain that moves through your heart and reminds you that your child’s life mattered.\n\nYou wipe the dust off the piano and sit down to play.\n\nSteven Kalas is a behavioral health consultant and counselor at Clear View Counseling and Wellness Center in Las Vegas.

At first it's pressing against all sides of the box - you feel it everywhere, all the time. Overtime the balloon shrinks and you feel it bouncing around in the box, reminded when it touches the surface. For a while it is frequently enough to be considered constant. But, as the balloon gets smaller, more time passes between the bumps. Eventually, it gets so small you may feel as if it is gone. But it's not and at any point it may bump the surface and you'll feel it. And that's ok.\n\n Maybe some of us have multiple balloons which can make us feel that the pain is too frequent, but they will get smaller and smaller."], "sft_index": 0, "reward": [7, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2], "label": "safe"} {"meta": " ", "prefix": ["How to pose in photos I look awkward in every single photo I take, especially group photos.

I learned to make topographic hiking maps that utilize immense databases... really pro stuff. was ceaselessly awesome.\n\nI also built model cars quite a lot during compulsory education years.

You'll become more comfortable as you get some wins and are able to build on what works for your team, vs trying to 100% adopt a tactic that you heard worked for others. \n\nYou can find ideas for these in blogs, books, podcasts, on Twitter etc from other leaders you respect.

Leaders need to both be an authority, the guide and decision-maker, and part of the team, someone to rely upon and trust. \n\nLeaders need to be excellent and detail-oriented communicators. Precise instructions lead to precision work and decrease miscommunication. Good leaders are constantly assessing their own words to make sure they're accurate and appropriate. \n\nLeaders need to be confident, not arrogant, and maintain a humility that befits someone entrusted with others' time, if not their livelihoods and lives. Good leaders are always aware of how they are perceived by their subordinates, and modify their behavior so that they never tarnish their image as the strong and honest leader, while remaining relatable and approachable by even their lowest subordinate. \n\nLeaders need to be at the front of the effort. Leading by example ensures that no one can question their investment in the project. Leaders must be seen as working at least as hard as their subordinates, but cannot deliberately attempt to cry woe is me at their workload just for this purpose. Leaders need to get their hands dirty with the menial work every now and again, as it shows humility, and even when their subordinates recognize that intent, it still means something when it's real work. At the same time, good leaders know when they're working too hard, and acknowledge that it's okay to take a break. This leads me to my last point:\n\nGood leaders don't undermine their subordinates efforts. Ever. Leaders will sometimes encounter a time when a subordinate offers a helping hand, or steps up and performs above their level. A good leader never steals that moment away, and always graciously responds, even from the lowest subordinate. These are critical moments in humanizing the leader in the eyes of the subordinate, and in developing future leaders. It takes maturity for a subordinate to offer to help a leader, and a good leader accepts that help if it is necessary or beneficial. If it isn't needed, a good leader ensures that the subordinate feels recognized and thanked for their offer. \n\nIn summary, good leaders are constantly aware of, and adjusting, their actions and speech to ensure their image in the minds of their subordinates. This image must be based on interaction with the leader, and must be tangible. Good leaders give a shit about being good leaders. They actively try to minimize mistakes, never losing their presence of mind for even a moment. The good leader builds their team with input from all, develops leaders and SMEs, respects and is respected, works hard and helps out, recognizes and encourages additional efforts by their subordinates, but never requires they do more than requested. \n\nGood leaders are like my company commander, a man I'll remember and respect for the rest of my life."], "sft_index": 0, "reward": [5, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1], "label": "safe"} {"meta": " ", "prefix": ["How to get motivated and get myself out of \"Why bother?\" mode.

You put this girl on a pedestal, and you are investing time and emotional energy into figuring out what to say. Do you really think that there is a right combination of words you can say and actions that you can do to somehow make yourself seem more attractive? Do you really think that you can fake this attractiveness and confidence? Do you really think that she doesn't have experience with a multitude of guys doing just that? \n\nAs for her she knows she is attractive and probably knows that she can be a good girlfriend. What can you bring to the date or relationship to make her feel excited? Do you believe that she is some emotionally weak girl that needs tender love and care? Do you really think assuming she is like that is a good way to approach her? \n\nIn order to be generally successful with girls, you need to take a step back and work on becoming an actual MAN. And when you become a MAN you general life, not just dating, will improve. \n\nYou have to understand that the the amount of work you put into your own personal life reflects on the quality of your character. Doing things, taking risks, all builds your emotional fortitude, gives you experience in life to make the right decisions, and gives you stories to tell. Putting effort into working out or other physical activities gives you strength which improves you physique and confidence. Being genuinely interested in people beyond your selfish means will give you conversational experience and empathetic attitude so you are generally more likable as a person. \n\nAnd most of all, you will gain self respect. You will not tie your own self esteem to what other people, especially girls, think of you. Dating will not be about impressing girls, but about finding the girl that makes an impression on you. \n\nAnd ironically, that sort of attitude is EXACTLY what will make you attractive to girls. \n\nLook at it from the girls perspective - would she rather give a chance to a shy guy who she has no idea if he is going to get super weird or clingy, or would she rather date a guy who has his life together and is open about his life and exciting with the stuff he does and stories he will tell, and most of all will not get super emotional if she decides to break it off with him? \n\nThe way you do all of this is self conditioning. You gotta ditch all those hobbies that you have that do not contribute to self betterment, like video games, TV shows. Playing them is fine, but unless you are godlike to the point where you can make money off video games, they should not be the thing you wake up and look forward to during the day. \n\nInstead, you need to focus on things like setting goals for yourself and accomplishing these goals, in both the physical aspect with exercise, mental aspect with learning, and emotional aspect with social interaction. \n\nFind a physical activity that you like doing, but don't just do it, learn to set goals for yourself and work towards these goals. It can be anything from running, to lifting weights, to just going on a long hike. But don't just focus on one part of your body, keep a general exercise routine, even if its just body weight stuff, and learn to eat correctly so you minimize body fat and gain muscle definition\n\nFor learning, look at way to expand your mental horizons. Learn how to code, and build a website and get some minimal ad revenue. See if you can teach any community classes in something you are good at, or volunteer to teach kids. Volunteer at at animal shelter to take care of the kitties and the dogs. Go sign up for a blacksmith class or glass blowing class. Learn how to cook. E.t.c and so on. \n\nFor the emotional aspect, you need to practice having conversations with people and learn how to be empathetic to what they do. You need to just practice striking up a conversation with everyone around you, cashiers at the checkout line, classmates, people on the bus, e.t.c. See if you can get people to open up, see if you can get them to laugh, and try to feel their personality. Practice on smiling yourself, and making other people smile. This will teach you to realize that people are individual in their own way, and will make you genuinely interested in girls as people rather than just for your own personal gains. \n\nLook for a way to make yourself more attractive. With college, its really easy to get into being all shaggy because of the culture, but do not do this. Get a clean, stylish cut, get a beard shade going and trim it every other day, ditch all the meme shirts and shaggy pants and go with clean cut jeans, button downs, polos, e.t.c. \n\nLook for opportunities to join clubs and learn new talents as well. Join a ultimate frisbee team, or a climbing club, and learn new skills. Go to educational seminars and look for ways to make money with what you know how to do and what you are good at. \n\nAnd the more you do this, the more you will train yourself, and the easier its going to get for you. But none of it will be easy, especially at the start. You have to want to change, and more importantly, you have to force yourself to do things you don't want to do. \n\nBut in the end, you will end up making more money in your career, you will be more self confident, and you will learn to be happy even when you are single. Girls will be just the icing on the cake. \n\nGood luck brah. ", "The best thing in my opinion to do is just seem very social-savvy.

The companies that have brand names usually recognize that a brand name only lasts when people repeatedly find their product to be superior. Therefore they employ specialized people to produce superior forms of their branded product. For example, Petroleum Jelly is made up of hydrocarbons (see here for a short explanation http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemicalcomposition/f/What-Is-Petroleum-Jelly.htm ) What many don't realize is that there are ways to add volume while maintaining some of the characteristics. So in the cheap brand there may be a cheaper and shorter chain of hydrocarbons in higher abundance which means it absorbs and evaporates quicker than \"Vaseline\" brand that probably uses PJ with longer hydrocarbon chains meaning they do not evaporate, break down, or absorb as quickly. (think of it like gasoline (short hydrocarbon chains) and Diesel fuel (longer chains) Diesel takes a long time to evaporate while gasoline can evaporate very quickly)\n\nLASTLY, my words earlier about quality and employing speciality people (engineers or such) only applies to some companies, there are plenty of unscrupulous companies that make or buy a brand name and then run it into the ground to make as much money in as short a time as possible.

You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.\n\nMore importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have \"lost.\" What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.\n\nHence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in \"Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect?

For kitchen sinks, I tend to pour baking soda down the sink every once in a while followed by some lemon juice or vinegar (it'll fizz up) and a full kettle of boiling/very hot water. No problems with sink smells.\n\nMake sure you're also keeping an eye out for common smell sources - kitchen sponges, washcloths, bathmats, and towels can all get pretty sour smelling and should be changed every couple of days, especially if you notice the smell or if you're living in a high humidity environment. Changing your kitchen garbage regularly can also make a big difference - every couple of days should do it, but if you put something smelly in the bin just take it out ASAP. \n\nBasic cleaning will help too, but I'm assuming you do that anyway - cleaning sinks, tubs and toilets once per week prevents gross-ness. And if you're consistently smelling a certain kind of smell, especially if it's mildew-y, I'd start seriously looking for the root causes. Is your apartment especially humid? If so, a dehumidifier will pull moisture out of the air, and that can help prevent some of the gross damp-related smells you often get in bathrooms and basement apartments.\n\nTry to prevent or control smells too - if possible, open a window when you're cooking something pungent, and turn on exhaust fans in the kitchen or bathroom if you have them (and check them for dust accumulation, which will make them less effective). Change the filters in the kitchen exhaust fans if necessary. If you're cooking something pungent try to contain the smell too - when we cook fish or bacon or curry in the house I make a point of closing the bedroom doors to reduce the amount of smell that ends up in those areas - it's not perfectly air-tight, but it helps.\n\n**Nice smells** \nAs far as making things smell nice, a [reed diffuser](http://www.yankeecandle.com/browse/home--car/flameless-fragrance/reed-diffusers/_/N-8df) or something like a Glade plug-in might be your best bet. Personally I find most Glade products to be pretty awful smelling themselves, but some people love them. I really like reed diffusers because you can usually find a wide variety of smells, they don't use electricity, and they just give off a very nice, light smell. \n\nChoose one scent for your whole house (which gives the impression of 'this is what my house smells like!' not 'look how many different scented products I've found!'), and try to pick something that's fairly mild and fresh smelling. Clean laundry, green tea, citrus, that sort of thing. The heavy, spicy, cinnamon-scented ones are alright as a candle, but if you're using them constantly it can be pretty overwhelming.\n\nAnd don't underestimate the benefits of laundry smell and open windows. I usually wash the curtains in the house once during the winter because I find there's nothing like clean laundry smell to help a house feel fresh when you really can't open the windows. If at all possible, open a couple of windows in your apartment as well, even in the winter - yes, it's cold, but just getting a little bit of fresh air will make a big difference.

In her case it was because she was the youngest of three children in a home where every single one of the children exhibited negative attention seeking behaviors. As I was only in that home one day a week, I couldn't speak to the ongoing parenting style, but I am sure it was a shortage of positive attention rather than abuse.\n\nAnyway, what finally potty trained her was to remove negative attention and lavish on the positive attention. She was doing this - non deliberately - because if she wet herself then someone would make a big fuss over her and she'd be the center of parental attention for a while. That the attention was disappointed didn't matter, because it was *any*.\n\nIn the case of your granddaughter, I recommend that the whole family be evaluated by a psychologist. If this is a subconscious attention grab, then it isn't actually your granddaughter's problem, but is instead a whole loop of parenting that needs to be stopped and reset which includes retraining her parents in how to give positive attention and to be actively mindful to do so; sending just your granddaughter into therapy isn't going to work because it is missing most of the problem.\n\nOr, it could be abuse in or out of the home. Abused children wet themselves. (But not all children who wet themselves are abused.)\n\nDO NOT shame. Go back to pull ups. Work with the situation rather than against it. The potty training regression is a symptom rather than a cause. You wouldn't shame someone for running a fever and you wouldn't try just to solve the fever if that person had Strep Throat. You'd treat the Strep and the fever would go away. Same here: treat the cause.\n\nPS: Parents not giving enough positive attention and children seeking negative attention is pretty much the #1 thing I see as a nanny. Because I am paid to spend all day with just the children, I'm able to provide targeted positive attention and parents think I'm a miracle worker at behavior issues. It isn't that; it is just that the demands of the modern job have made it damn near impossible to give your child as much attention and to have the presence of mind to point out all the tiny little positive things that a child has done, that any parent would like to do or any child would benefit from.

It might also help if she has someone else (such as yourself) try to teach her. She might just not listen to mom or dad because she knows she can. The parents also need to be asking her all the time if she needs to go potty, or not give her a choice, and have her go every 30 minutes to an hour just to get the point across that it isn't an option to not use the potty anymore.

It will improve your speaking/interpersonal skills, and you will meet people.\n\nUnderstand the entire life-cycle of IT systems. Learn a little bit about systems architecting, systems analysis...design, installation...upgrades. You don't need to master them all, but you should understand the life-cycle and how various aspects relate.\n\nRelated to that, understand indirect costs.

Obviously this is harder when it's one on one, but if you're in a group force yourself to actively listen to whatever the speaker is saying, and evaluate the sentences in your own mind as they're being said.

It's not satisfying but it's part of engaging in the two-way aspect of conversation between individuals, and will make you more liked and respected overall.

Some people fall into this habit so much that they literally become addicted to it.

You have to face the fear.\n\nVery important: A) If you go too fast by immersing yourself in a truly terrifying situation, you could traumatize yourself. So be kind to yourself and be gradual about all this. B) On the other hand, do not go too easy to yourself by never putting yourself in confrontational situations. In order for desensitization to work you must seek out situations which fall somewhere between \"uncomfortable\" and \"fairly terrifying.\" C) It helps a lot to have a friend with you during these situations.\n\nSource: I used CBT to permanently get past OCD, social anxiety (like you), and panic attacks that had devolved into full-blown agoraphobia.

I'm not saying get hammered but a good buzz won't kill you. Also, for the record, I'm not an alcoholic. I don't go out much.\n\nBring on the downvotes!", "Some people don't foster open communication and just strut around like a peacock with their words. When you notice people doing that in a group, it's perfectly ok to feel intimidated and just not involve yourself. Generally that's a good indication that these new people aren't worth getting to know.\n\nWhen people make an effort to hear your opinion and give you a chance to say something... and you genuinely want to say something but nothing is coming, feel free to just reflect back what they're saying. Demonstrate that you listened to them first by summarizing, then if you still don't have anything to say, you can compliment their perspective and comment on how you don't have much to add. Just be honest :) You don't HAVE to add to a conversation... sometimes just demonstrating that you're listening is enough.", "I suffered from this for a long, long time. Took many lessons to get out of it, but here's my advice. Think of these new people as genuinely interesting. Think that they're kind and don't judge you. Even if they did, would it really affect you? Very unlikely, just as the way you may judge people does not really affect them, it only affects you. So just give everyone the benefit of the doubt that they will not judge you, that there's no reason to judge you badly, stuttering is an innocent thing many people do and It's no reason to look down on someone. So now try to think of everyone as genuinely interesting. After deciding to believe no-one would think badly of you, think about them. Make active effort to remember names and remember details of their lives as you learn of them. If someone tells you they're looking forward to doing something , after the date, ask them about it and how they liked it. It really makes you feel like someone is thinking of you (and friendly too!) If you've been talking about a concert you've been planning to go to, and then they ask you how it went afterwards. It shows they paid attention, that they were interested in your life. \n\nSo really these two lessons: 1) believe that everyone can be your friend. It takes time, but it can change the role of talking to a stranger into something more similar to talking to a friend or acquaintance, and provoke less stress of them being judgemental or not. Realistically, if you're nice to everyone, and someone is actually a dick to you, forget about them, they're not worth your time.\n2) believe that everyone's lives are interesting. Remember everyone has their personal struggles, desires and goals. Pay attention to conversation and build an understanding of people as you learn more about them. \n", "Stare right *past* their eyes, like you're looking at the inside of their head.

There are outs you'll learn so you aren't stuck on the phone forever with someone.", "You know, I used to be just like this. Luckily, I had some people pull me out of this mentality at some point. People would put genuine effort into inviting me to stuff once I was older- which I'm very lucky to have experienced because I've been introverted almost all of my life (I think it was because puberty was kind to me and I came out attractive- despite being a \"nerd\").\n\nI feel like I just started to see people differently after this one time I was invited to hang out with a bunch of dudes from highschool while I was in college. I was never even acquainted with most of these guys- but through mutual friends I was invited to just chill with them and watch movies and eat pizza. I was terrified at first because I thought most people from highschool just saw me as a friendless loser and would be wondering why I was even invited. But, one thing I learned from college is \"fake it til u make it\". If you GENUINELY believe that you're a person worth talking to, you will become one. The trick is realizing why you're someone worth talking to and you start to realize that once you focus on what makes YOU different: your personal passions. Why do you seek the things you seek? Why do you love the things you love? You figure out ways to sneak these essences of your personality into conversation and then people can't help but respect you. They just need to understand you, that you're not an asshole and that they could only stand to gain shit from talking to you- that they have nothing to lose.\n\nI realized something immediately when I sat down on that giant couch in front of that TV listening to the guys talk and I think it was the most important thing for to me remember: they didn't care. It wasn't AT ALL in their interest to think about how much of a loner I was in the past or why I didn't socialize or go to the gym or anything. They didn't care who I was or how different from them I was, all they wanted was to have a good time. So long as I wasn't being a buzzkill, I was a cool dude in their books (keep in mind that trying too hard to be cool can be considered a buzzkill, too). I just sat there and interjected when I had something cool to add to their \"trains of thought\". Lemme explain what I mean by \"trains of thought\" and how I rode them. Since I spent ALL my time on the internet, I had a plethora of knowledge to summon into conversation that was capable of interesting these new faces. I'm talking about cool things that were related to the subjects these guys were interested in talking about- NOT MEMES (I would stay away from memes... they're only meant for an individual to enjoy IMO).\n\nSo, for example, at one point, we were watching the Boondocks and one guy says \"the Boondocks used to have such good music\". I picked up on this immediately because I remember they played the song \"All Caps\" by MF DOOM on one of their episodes. MF DOOM was one of my favorite hip-hop artists, so I brought all that up and the next thing I knew we were in a deep conversation about what makes MF DOOM's hip-hop style so good and why I believe J Dilla's production style influenced DOOM and changed hip-hop. He kept eye-contact with me, nodded, agreed, and added his perspective on what I was saying when I was done. It was back-and-forth. I think he enjoyed that conversation because no one else jumped in- I could tell that no one else there knew what we were talking about and that he was now talking to someone new that knows about things like J Dilla and MF DOOM, unlike the others. I felt the conversation was worthwhile for him, like I had some cool knowledge and perspective to offer and share. Those subjects and thoughts are now something he associates with me.\n\nThen, another guy was kicking all our asses at Mortal Kombat X. I knew a lot about this game, too, so we had a similar conversation about which characters were strongest in front of everyone else. Which characters we hated and why, what characters did what, which characters were kicking the most ass in competitive MKX, all that jazz.\n\nAnother time, a friend was letting me study at her place alone while she was out of town and out of nowhere, 4 attractive girls come waltzing in through the front door. I wasn't expecting them to be there and they weren't expecting me to be there. But, it wasn't awkward at all. I just calmly and while smiling dropped what I was doing, went to shake their hands, and asked what's up. They came to walk the owner's dog (which I had already agreed to do for the owner). So, I was like \"well, I guess I should talk to them about the dog\"! I told them how much of a sweetheart she is, where the poop-bags and treats were, all that jazz. They said that they really want the timid dog to get used to and open up to them so I told them about my experiences with her.\n\nI don't remember the names of ANY of those people because I only talked to them the once. It's all just opportunities to show people how you feel about the things around you. No one is judging you, everyone's just looking for a cool new way to spend their free time. Learning about genres and new music, learning about online video games, learning about dogs... All these things different people wanna spend time doing- the list goes on and on.

Also if it did not go well it did not matter because it was such a short period of time. As I got better I found I was able to do this a bit more with other people.

Also remember that everyone is just another human, and what they think of you usually has very little effect on your life.", "I always find it's easier if you think about things you want to know about a person! Think of a question you're interested in hearing about i.e \"where do you work?\" or if you're in college like \"oh what are you studying?\" and then chat about their answers like oh how did you get into that, etc etc and then just let them do most of the talking!", "Dude, I'm the same way. At least I used to be, I'm not sure if I am or not anymore. I've been forced into a lot of social interaction these past months, so it's been weird, as someone who historically has a lot of social anxiety. I made a friend like a month ago, and when we hang out I almost dissociate a little because of how weird it is that they aren't one of the three people I know.\n\nThat was a lot of my story though, sorry.\n\nWhat I always try to keep in mind is that no one will ever care as much as you do. Every person has their own problems, their own thoughts, and if you aren't close with someone, you will never be at the forefront of their mind. It's a little depressing to think about, but liberating. Mistakes you see are often unseen by others. No one will ever criticize you as much as you criticize yourself.\n\nSecond is to realize how many of your interactions don't end with any real disaster. In communications, self fulfilling prophecies are ludicrously common. You have an interaction, you perceive a mistake that isn't there, and then you think \"well shit, I'm not doing that again.\" Then when you go to have other conversations you remember how anxious you felt last time, which makes you more anxious and makes your conversations worse. Thing is, it also goes the other way. If you break the illusion that all your social interactions are catastrophic and have more positive afterthoughts (\"Hey, that wasn't too bad. At least I got what I was after\") then you'll remember that next time and you'll be more socially successful in the future.\n\nLastly, and I can't stress this enough, just do it. It's so common to see people not making changes they want to make because they \"can't,\" because they'll \"never\" be able to do it. Barring physical illness, this isnt true. It's a convenient excuse that allows them to give up. I got tired of not being able to do everything all the time, so I put myself in an environment where I had to. And then I *just did it.*\n\nDon't get me wrong, it won't be easy. Nothing in this world worth doing is easy. Whenever I have to do a presentation, I still start shaking and get cold sweats. But I do it anyway, and afterwards maybe my peers comment on how confident I seemed, how informative the presentation was, etc. \n\nTo sum up this ridiculous novel of a reply:\n\n1. No one cares about, or sees, as many of your mistakes as you do.\n\n2. Reevaluate your interactions. They didn't go as bad as you think.\n\n3. Just do the thing. You'll be fine.*\n\n4. *But it won't just go away. You'll be scared shitless probably forever. Don't let that stop you. You're stronger than that.\n\nI love you and believe in you. Best of luck!", "Definitely a selfconsciousness issue. You know how to be normal, maybe there are some aspects of yourself that you're not happy with that you could improve?

Smile on top of it and usually people will respond in kind, hopefully making things easier. \n\n\nYou only live one life, you gonna spend it second guessing everything you do?", "Be. Yourself. I have found that this is the number one rule to being social. Generally, if you're not yourself, then you are trying in some way or another to make a good impression on people. When this happens, unless you really know what you're doing, actions and conversation doesn't become second nature. \n\nBut if you're yourself, nearly everything you do will come to you naturally. It feels better and you end up making an even better impressive anyways. ", "Ask questions. Be genuinely interested and follow up with another question based upon their response. Keep this going. Everyone's favorite topic of conversation is themself. If you get someone talking about themself, you become the most fascinating person in the world.

You can pretty much come up with a question to anything anyone can say. And if not, and they just blurted out something you can't relate to at all. Just nod your head and spit out somehting like \"I know what you mean\", and then direct the conversation yourself. Questions come up easily when you think about why you two are where you are talking in the first place. Maybe you're waiting for your next class (Please don't ask them their major. How their weekend was or their weekend plans is a good start). Or if you met them through a mutual friend, ask them where they met your friend.\n\n3. Know the energy. Sometimes people just don't have a lot to say or have more on their mind, but will still try to conversate with you. If this happens, just mimic them. Keep it short and sweet.

Other people usually love talking about themselves if you let them. You just have to know how to keep them talking. Here's my go to tips:\n\n1) Be genuinely interested in what other people think and have to say about things. This is hard to fake if you're not -- people can tell unless they're very conceited. Try to expand your horizons and learn about new things by listening to people!\n\n2) Ask them questions about those things. The important thing though, is don't stop at the who/what/when/where questions. Move on to the Why questions.\n\ni.e. Don't just ask \"What do you do? How long have you done that?\" Move on to ask the deeper question, \"Why did you choose to do that?\" and that will likely lead to a more interesting conversation. \n\nThe nice thing is most of the population doesn't really ask those deeper questions -- most people stick to safe, surface-y small talk. I find a lot of people are pleasantly surprised when they get to talk about things on a little deeper level, even with a stranger or new friend.\n\n", "The best advice I've seen is to shift the focus from yourself to them.

When they give you the safety lecture, for the love of god, LISTEN! I had a customer who wanted me to slice a somer sausage for him, which the foot of the slicer wouldn't hold. So, I thought I would be ok to hold it myself so long as I was very, very careful. I had done it before without issue, so I was sure I could do it again. But the customer wouldn't stop talking to me. I looked up, my hand slipped, I nearly lost my knuckle. Now, I have a semi-circular scar on my pinky and a dislike of deli meats because I was stupid. Don't do that.\n\nOther than that, I'm not quite sure what advice to give you. It's a customer service/food service job. They'll teach you what you need to know. To get into management should be relatively easy once you know your job and you do it well. Ask questions about everything, even stuff that isn't necessarily your job. Knowledge never hurt anyone and most people like to teach. \n\nLet me know if you have more specific questions.", "I've worked in a deli for the past three years as well, and I'm gonna agree with Starlitfires here. *listen to the bloody safety lectures!* I've had 4 people leave in the time I've been here because they've hurt themselves. That and be extremely thorough when it comes to cleaning and sanitizing everything.\n\nAnyway, it's a customer service job, so the usual shit applies. Customers can be awesome, or blazing morons. Don't let them get you down, smile, be polite and walk away when you need to. You will run into bitchy coworkers anywhere, but the number one thing I can think of to tell you is DO NOT GOSSIP. I don't know if all places are like this, but my work is absolutely horrible for gossip. Don't do it. It makes you look ridiculous and petty. Try to strike up a friendship, or at least a working aquantince with your fellow deli workers, but if they are horrid, just walk away from it. Work your shifts, and take the high road. Do your job, and do it well. Be polite and friendly, and walk away from the bitchy horrid ones. Don't give them any reason to gossip about or slander you for. Good luck! ", "If you are aiming for higher pay, make it known and be seen by your higher ups. Do more than is expected of you, ALWAYS help your other coworkers out, strike up a friendship with your boss(es). \n\nWith coworkers, NEVER gossip about other coworkers, no matter what. Not even in confidence. I once offhandedly mentioned something about another coworker and shit blew up for that person. I mean, her personal life was affected by what I mentioned, although what I said as true and I thought it did not even matter. \n\nALways be friendly to them too. And to the customers. I can't get fired from my job because of how well the customers respond to me and my relationship to my boss. The other workers know this too, and they leave me out of the politics that goes on, fearing for their jobs. lol\n\nAlso, no matter where you work, when it comes to customer interaction, you will almost definitely meet a dick. The first time this happened to me, I was caught off guard and it ruined my day for reasons I can't articulate. Since then, I've met countless assholes, and people who will intentionally change their orders later on, and CLAIM that you misheard/it was your fault. You will go far in customer service if you can learn how to brush this kind off shit off. So, learn how to not let others actions dictate how you feel at any given moment as you work in the deli. \n\nAlso, as a side note, my self-respect means more to me than my job. If a customer takes shit too far, stop fearing for losing your job, and handle that asshole. If they cause more problems, call, or threaten to call, the cops.", "Hi, I currently work in a Deli at a grocery store. \n\nImportant advice you should know, \n\n* Sunday afternoons will be the busiest time of the week, besides special sales of course, try to avoid them if possible. \n\n* People don't know what every meat tastes like depending on store policy just ask and see if they want a sample. \n* Don't worry about not knowing the codes, you will have them burned into your skull after a couple months. \n* Talk to your co-workers about anything really, but when people start talking about other employees just pretend to do dishes are something. \n* WEAR THE SAFETY GLOVES WHEN CLEANING THE SLICER. \n* If ***YOU*** think it's unsafe DON'T do it.\n\nHope that helps.", "Here is some advice from someone who has not only worked a deli counter, but unfortunately worked retail for over a decade.\n\n* Keep your mouth shut. Nod and smile to everyone, including coworkers. You will hear the nastiest, tasteless, most inappropriate things from your coworkers. Avoid the urge to chime in with *anything*. \n\n* Related to that, don't share *anything* beyond vague basics. You had a bad day because you fought with your girlfriend? Don't mention it. Your mom is divorcing your dad? Don't mention it. Always, always *always* remember: the more your coworkers (and supervisors) know about you, the more ammo they have. Don't give in to sharing because everyone else does- keep it vague, even if people ask questions. Beg them off by saying \"oh, my life is boring\" or \"I don't do much.\" Fill those gossip spaces with sports instead- talk about a team you really like instead of sharing personal information.\n\n* Make yourself available to help and support fellow workers, but don't become everyone's bitch. It's a fine line to walk, but ensure that you are known as a helpful employee without being the one everyone relies on to do their work for them. \n\n* This is probably the one that is most important and will save your sanity: this isn't your money. No matter how rude, nasty and insane your customers are, just take advice from the first bullet point: nod and smile. Do anything and everything for the customer, and leave it at that. *Do not take it personally*. Ever. It's not your food being wasted. It's not your money being given away. This is not your life, it's a job. Let it go, move on, and you will find yourself much happier than your fellow employees.", "For many people, this goes without saying, but you would be surprised how many people have a problem with this. The easiest way to fire someone (or not promote them) is a person with time and attendance problems. Always show up 15 minutes early to never be late.

They've all been really helpful. I can't thank you all enough!"], "suffix": ["You can use your time, particularly your transport time, much more efficiently. As I understand it, here are the key issues you face:\n\n- Your time to study at home (approx 2 hrs/ day) is insufficient to complete the work\n\n- You have a very long commute, with 2 (or 4?) hrs/ day essentially wasted, but reading gives you motion sickness. Finding a way to use this time could double your available time, so this is the key\n\n- I assume your studies involve some work that must be written out to turn in (e.g., essays, math problems), and other work that boils down to memorizing facts, narratives, etc. I'm decades removed from school, but I assume the mix is similar\n\nThe \"low-hanging fruit\" is to move your memorization work to the commute. I had a similar challenge in grad school, and it crops up in my current career all the time (I spend a lot of time on airplanes, flying someplace where I'll have to lead a discussion or give a speech). Here are the steps:\n\n- Write an outline of the subject. If it's a history lesson, outline the main points as you go through the text. If it's a process from biology class, or a lesson in physics, outline it in narrative form. By that, I mean outline it in the way that you would explain it to someone else. Feel free to pick someone specific, and imagine having to explain it, recount it or discuss it with them.\n\n- From that outline, make a shorter outline. Boil it down until it all fits on one page, max. Take that page with you on your commute\n\n- As you're sitting in the bus/ train/ car, tell the story. Go through the life of Queen Victoria, the Krebs Cycle or the laws of thermodynamics in your head, as if you were recounting them to that imaginary friend I mentioned earlier. Glance down at your outline as needed to keep you on track, but don't stare at it (to avoid motion sickness). Maybe pack earplugs, or load up your phone with a white noise app to help shut out distractions\n\n- Repeat telling that story/ explaining the concept until you don't need the outline any more. Keep that outline, though -- it will help later, when studying for final exams\n\n- You will learn this stuff. Processing the information into an outline, then using that outline to recount it multiple times will ensure you understand it and that it's stuck in your head.\n\nI have no opinion on the medical and psychological issues you describe, except to say that social anxiety and low self esteem are pretty common, especially in teenagers, so don't assume you're uniquely unqualified to get your work done.\n", "Just a thought, but have you ever asked your doctor about ADHD? I know ADHD has sort of developed a complex public image, but what you've described fits in some ways. Procrastination, an unbreakable cycle, even depression and anxiety can result due to a person's inability to break the negative cycles and stress from procrastination etc. Note from a non-doctor internet stranger with ADD.\n\nOnto your request for a pro tip (I remain a chronic procrastinator):\n\n- A daily calendar might help and do wonders. Schedule out every day what you need to work on. And STICK WITH IT (the hardest part for both of us it seems ☺)! Schedule a unit this week, the next unit the week after, on Fridays review, etc. (Scheduling review period during each study session is ideal too). Schedule it down to the hour if need be. In the future, you can start this strategy as soon as you get the syllabus for the semester. \n\n- Use a timer to keep you on track during study sessions. With the timer, you can also incorporate study breaks (time those too!).", "* Pick a topic you enjoy studying.\n\nStudy it first.\n\n* Repeat with other topics.\n\nIt'll make you enjoy your studying and hopefully make it more fun.\n\n* Think of studying as video game achievements, and make sure they're close to each other.\n\nLet's say you have a 100 pages book. If you read only 10 pages, you won't feel good. \n\nBut, if you read 10 pages (notice the lack of the word \"only\"), you'll feel that you've completed a good portion of your textbook.\n\nRepeat that with all the other pages, 10 pages each time, with a five or ten minute relaxation time between them.\n\n* Learn and memorize, don't just memorize.\n\nIf you knew that 2+2=4, but just because you happen to have knew it already, it wouldn't be a good thing.\n\nBut, if you knew that 2+2=4 *because* you know how the maths works, then that's a good thing.\n\nFor example, if I told you that a certain chemical reaction needs 100 atmospheres of pressure, you'd memorize it.\n\nBut until you know *why* it needs 100 atmospheres in the first place, you are likely to forget it, and it may not be as interesting as a topic for you once you revise it later.\n\n* Make a schedule of what to study and when to study it, and then follow it.\n\nIf you say to yourself that you'll study maths tomorrow, and science after tomorrow, you may not even do that at all.\n\nYou're just planning in your mind, and may forget it.\n\nSo, you need to make a schedule.\n\nThat way, you shouldn't forget, you've written it down on a piece of paper, and you know what you're going to study ahead of time, so that you can prepare for it.\n\nThen, you need to follow the schedule that you made.\n\nAnd how you do that is to simply just follow it.\n\nDay by day, you'll get the hang of it.\n\n* Ask your teacher to reduce the amount of homework you have.\n\nOr just concentrate more on your exams than your schoolwork, but don't ignore your homework either.\n\n* If you're willing to actually study more, then have a day or two per week where you don't go to school.\n\nThat way, the time you spend going to school, being in school, and going back home, all that time, you could spend it studying more at home.\n\n\n\n\n\n", "Try making outlines of things you need to study (main ideas and phrases and a few sentences on each), record these and listen to it on the bus, audio books on the subjects on the busfor done background knowledge, if you have a lot of text to read, read the first sentence if every paragraph, the main headings and key words and definitions to get an idea of what you have and read the whole text later if you have time", "My advice will only work with term based classes such as History, Anatomy, or a language. I would put all the information into quizlet or note cards and power through them. Removing the ones I do know and keep cycling through the ones I don't.

I don't have ADHD, I just learn slowly and never had a safe, stable environment conducive to learning. I took a course from UC Berkeley called \"Learning How to Learn\" and here's what I learned:\n\n * Your brain forms memories while trying to recall them. Make flash cards of important concepts as you learn them. Right after reading a new concept, write it on a flash card, close the book, and quiz yourself. After your study session, quiz yourself. Even if you can't remember and have to look at the answer, just TRYING to recall will build new neural synapses (ability to recall later).\n * Learning new concepts (Diffused Learning) works best in small sessions with a mental break in between. Read something really quick before your commute, then nap, and your brain will process subconsciously while you sleep. When you reach your destination, try to recall what you read and then look up anything that you can't remember.\n * Longer study sessions (focused learning) is better for something you understand and just need to practice.\n\nThese tips shouldn't take more time, they're just different ways of using your brain during your study session that are more efficient use of your limited time.", "I can't speak about effective study habits per se, because I'm also a serial procrastinator, but here are some METHODS of studying that are generally highly effective. \n\nTake notes, and do them right. Don't just write down what the teacher says, summarize what they say in your own words. If you can't do this during the lesson (though you really should learn to its immensely helpful), just write everything down. Make sure to leave space along the margin (enough to write a couple sentences) and along the bottom of the page (typically 1/6th to 1:5th of the page, I think). Next at some point after having written the notes, ON THE SAME DAY (can't stress this enough, it is way less effective if you wait), go over the notes and, along the bottom in the space you elect, summarize each page of notes into what you think is important. This is super useful because now you don't have to read an entire page of notes every time you study, you can just read your summary and you'll likely remember what's on the page because it's your interpretation of the notes. Next, along the margin, write down 3-5 study questions, questions you think a teacher would put on an exam to make sure you knew the material. Ones that make you think are best but even just asking for definitions is fine, as long as they make you think about it. Once you've done this, go over these summaries and answer the study questions (try to without looking at the notes of course) first once a day or so for a couple days, then once a week, then once a month just to remind yourself and when exam time comes, go over the notes, maybe try and think of new questions that might be asked and answer those. \n\nNow, this is a great strategy if you do it from start to finish. Obviously, you haven't done it. So in that case, I would suggest either getting someone else's notes (if you have your own that's fine too), or if you don't have them, go through the text book and write your notes from there. Do the same thing I wrote above, and you should get a solid understanding of the material. If your teacher has PowerPoint slides, get those and use those as well. This will generally be less effective because you won't have the teacher's explainations when you're summarizing but it's better than nothing. \n\nIn terms of WHEN it's best to review, it's actually best to read the summaries sometime before you go to sleep. This is because of a couple different things. First: when you learn something or read something, you can keep it in your mind fairly well, but while time passes, you continuously gain new information in your brain and that starts messing with the information you learned before. This happens automatically, to everyone, don't worry too much about it. Secondly, when you sleep, your brain can start the real memorization process, which makes the stuff you learned stick way more solidly in your mind, meaning it won't degrade nearly as much when time passes. Therefore, you want to have the information in your head be as unaffected by time as possible before you go to sleep, where it will get locked down into your brain.\n\nSo basically, take notes like I described, summarize them on that day, review them relatively frequently and before exams, sometime around the time you go to sleep, and you'll have a much easier time remembering stuff. \n\nI have other stuff that can help memorization and I can share them if you really want but for the most part it would be best to stick to one solid strategy and do it well. \n\nOh, and if you know how to use mind maps, those things are the shit!\n\nHope things work out for you, mate! Don't get lost and remember, don't get too stressed out. \n\nSource: university workshop on effective study strategies and a 2nd year psychology course on memory and cognition. \n\n:(", "Hey buddy I know where you're at, and this may sound like shit advice but you have to believe in yourself.

You will have one on either end not attached to anything. \nFill dishes with lukewarm water. Place on the ground and connect one to each loose alligator clip (DO NOT LET THE PIE PLATES TOUCH).\nThis is half a circuit. You complete it by putting one hand in each dish (let your hand be covered with water but don't let it rest on the bottom - it's important to let the water surround your palm completely). Warning: putting your hands in will tingle a bit (it still gives me a fright sometimes). \nLet your hands rest there for five minutes. Then switch the alligator clips connected to each pie plate so it's connected to the opposite one (i.e. alligator clip on left goes to pie plate on right). Let your hands \"fry\" for another five minutes. \nI also do my feet, because I get sweaty soles too. Same deal: five minutes then switch clips. \nYou'll need to do this every day for at least a week, or until you notice you've stopped sweating. After that, do it once a week to\" maintain\" the non-sweatiness (maybe twice a week in summer). \n\nWARNING: do not try this if pregnant or if you have a heart condition. The current crosses your heart, so I suggest you try this at your own risk. However, I've never had an issue aside from the initial small shock. And seriously, it actually works! It's the only thing that does, for me. \n\nFinal warning: if you have little scrapes/cuts, cover them in Vaseline or they'll sting like a bitch. \n\nHere's a link so you can see my set-up: http://imgur.com/JarIfP4 \n\nTry it or don't, if you don't trust/believe random Internet strangers - but seriously, this has saved me a life of embarrassment. \n\nFeel free to PM if you want to discuss it further :) "], "sft_index": 0, "reward": [3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1], "label": "safe"} {"meta": " ", "prefix": ["How can I tell my boss that I DO NOT HAVE TO answer the phones on my days off.

Make note of things it *doesn’t* say, as well. If there’s nothing about overtime or work beyond contracted hours, you can likely assume that it defaults to legal standards in your country. \n\nAfter that, I would compare with the legal statutes for your country to see what is and is not protected.

Contact them (in writing) and explain that your boss has requested some after-hours work and you want to make sure you don’t run afoul of any company policies or employment law, and request that they clarify what you are and are not permitted to do. In particular, if your company DOES have an official process for arranging extensions or exceptions to these limitations you’ll want to know exactly what that process is. \n\n*Side note: be on the lookout for anything deliberately vague or dodgy in their response. If they suggest anything like working off the record or not talking about it, you may have a problem with your employer and should contact an employment lawyer to discuss your options. Don’t try to push back on a sketchy employer without preparing for contingencies.*\n\nOnce you’ve got the official company stance, that’s the time to talk to your boss (during work hours). Assure him that you received all his inquiries and will send him the responses at the start of each business day. Don’t show any uncertainty or ask for reassurance here - this is purely about setting that expectation. If he accepts that position, great - you can ignore him when you’re off the clock. \n\nIf he pushes back and says he needs more than that, ask for clarification: does he need an acknowledgment of receipt, is he looking for simple answers but is fine with “I’ll have to get back to you that”, or is he expecting you to jump on those requests whenever they come? This is where knowledge of company policies and employment laws comes in. If there’s an official process for arranging overtime offer to start that. He may back off or push back, but stick to the company policies and don’t accept anything unofficial. Pedantic is better than uncooperative. You can even call his bluff if he persists, and reassure him that you don’t mind the extra work to set it up. \n\nBe aware, at any point in this process you may come to find that your company leans toward unethical or illegal. If you fall into a scenario where your boss pushes to violate the law, or wants to hide the activity from the company, you may be at risk of retaliation. You should be prepared for the possibility that he will likewise resort to underhanded methods to push you out, make you miserable, limit your opportunities, or accuse you of underperforming (or worse). If you feel like you’ve exhausted your options, it may be time to speak with the employment lawyer again to find out what protections are available and what resources you have if they do take action against you. This is a worst case scenario, but can happen. \n\nAbove all else, remember that employment is meant to be a mutually beneficial relationship, and (except in a few regressive countries) you’re perfectly justified in ending that relationship if the costs exceed the benefits.

See a therapist for this fear since it's affecting your life. Anxiety gets worse w age so take care of it now ", "Body Mindfulness is a good place to start. If you want to steer away from medication, learning how to tell when the anxiety is beginning is key to combating it. Rarely do people go from no anxiety to full blown panic attack, it's a gradual process. Learning your bodies physical signs of when your anxiety level is rising is key. Sometimes people have a stomachache or their hands start to twitch. Once you can identify what the signs are, you can start to calm down immediately. Also try and develop an Anxious Scale in your head. What does level 1 anxious feel like vs level 10. If you can properly take a self check, you know when to take more drastic measures to calm down\n\nNext, learning proper breathing techniques is really important. If you purposefully focus on breathing deeply, it becomes much harder for you to tip over the edge. I also recommend learning some Progressive Relaxation Techniques. These are meant to immediately combat the physical symptoms so your body is unable to have a panic attack or escalate further. They're also able to be done anywhere so you don't feel trapped or unable to calm down due to situation.\n\nSource: I'm a therapist"], "sft_index": 0, "reward": [3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1], "label": "safe"} {"meta": " ", "prefix": ["How to stop my fridge smelling After coming back from a week away we found that we'd left some mince in our fridge and it had gone off.

Basically: you stand like superman, arch you back, shoulders back, pull your chin up. I usually stare at the American flag when I do this because it's a visual symbol of power. I do some deep breathing and when my mind is quiet, I bring an up an image of the situation - observe my response and do a self talk along the lines of: \"I'm calm I'm confident, feel the sensation of calm confidence in my spine, I'm at the meeting I'm doing great nothing can stop me\" ect....

Start by taking some time to calm down from the situation.

Try and come up with a solution or compromise to discuss with them and expect some pushback while being open to their opinions and feelings. \nIf it is random people in public or just something else out of control then remove yourself from the situation.\nTry and come up with another (less frustrating) reason why what is angering you is happening. Maybe that person driving recklessly is in an emergency, or someone being rude just had the worst day of their lives and are coping poorly about it.\nWe have one perspective in life and it is difficult to view someone else's perspective on any situation. We know how we would do something or what we think it the \"correct\" way to do something but that is still only in our head unless you talk it out calmy.\nUltimately remind yourself that anger isn't a tool that will help any situation and usually just makes you look like the bad guy to everyone.

Hell yes. \n\nGoing into a interview that's not your \"dream job\" is WAY easier to interview for and helps immensely with your skills because you're not as nervous. \n\nStart applying like 2-3 months before, depending on the field. Listen I got told to apply 6 months to a year before I got a job but that's ridiculous. No one is going to hold a job for 6 months waiting for someone without experience. If you start applying 2-3 months you have a reasonable time period to go through second interviews, physicals and health stuff, and orientation.

Im not a huge advocate but i work for the fed gov't as civilian and usajobs is a massive nationwide database of gov jobs available for public apps. if you're new to the workforce and willing to move around, you can climb ranks relatively fast with a solid education and decent work ethic. \n\n", "Now is a great time to start applying for either May or December graduation. Be sure to tell the employer when you want to start. Large companies tend to have recruiting/hiring cycles that align with graduation months. Smaller companies might not have that type of pipeline, but practice with interviewing and networking is always helpful.\n\nWhen I recruit, I generally look for enthusiasm, social skills, and skill. The first two you can generally evaluate within a couple of seconds of meeting someone. Skill is nearly impossible, so I look for experience and ask questions into that. College students aren't expected to have experience (except those who did co-ops/internships, I'll discuss later), so I ask about personal/school projects related to your career field. If you don't have any of those to talk about, then I don't really have any reason to offer you a job other than looking at your school/GPA/degree (which I won't hire solely on - more below).\n\nBecause you're asking, I'm guessing you don't have any internships to talk about, so you need to start building a portfolio ASAP and put your work on a website (saw you're graphic design). Maybe make a Fiverr account and take a few jobs to build that portfolio. At this point, it's not about making money, it's about investing.\n\nTo others reading - internships/co-ops are excellent ways to pad your resume, test out your field before you're out of college, and build a network. You'll learn more in a summer on the job than some classes would ever teach you. Look for paid internships if possible! It's sad interning is generally for people with cash - it's such a great investment.\n\nGPAs - I personally really don't care about them. A good GPA means you can do coursework, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can think critically, think creatively, or communicate effectively. All a good GPA is to me is not a red flag. On the other hand, a bad GPA is a red flag. There are plenty of smart creative people with bad GPAs, but as an employer, I'm paying you to deliver on time, even if you think your assignment is stupid. A smart person with a bad GPA hints that you're lazy or apathetic, both of which are red flags. A bad GPA isn't enough to get disqualified, but if you seem smart, I'll be asking questions that try to uncover why it was so low.\n\nSchools - Prestige makes it easy to stereotype, but like GPA, it's not a silver bullet. Smart people go to \"bad\" schools, dumb people go to good schools. Going to a good school will help your resume stand out in a stack.\n\nCareer fairs - If you don't have a resume that stands out in a stack, seek out meeting recruiters in-person. You'll make a much stronger impression that way, and we'll know to flag your resume.\n\nInterviews - Research the company you're interviewing with. It's really easy to pick out people who just want the first job they're offered. These people aren't going to be who I want to hire. I want someone who can be excited about their work and the company's work.\n\nSorry for any typos and rambling. Hope this helps.\n\n**TLDR:** Have work you can talk about.

With that in hand I would network in the graphic design world, using your professors/instructors as a jumping off point if need be.\n\nHope this helps!", "I got a job right out of college and how I did it was to start applying at least 6 months before I graduated. In other comments you mentioned you were doing graphic design so I would suggest to start creating a portfolio, resume, website, and whatever else can show that you are serious about what you do. You can use Wix to make a pretty good looking site that could showcase your work; LinkedIn is a good way to create an online resume too. Once you have these things in place start applying everywhere. Most company website have a careers section somewhere where you can see what positions are open. LinkedIn and Indeed have job boards that you can search and apply through.

Say something like \"I think everyone is inundated with schoolwork this time of year... Are you taking any classes that are actually interesting?\" and see what the response is to that. It might be a little more lengthy and fun to talk about. If their answer is \"Not really\" then YOU tell them something about what YOU are studying (assuming it's actually interesting...

Where are you going?\" and \"That sounds awesome\". Be really happy for them and know that they are probably more excited then they are leading on, and say something more like \"Holy shit! That sounds awesome! I always wanted to go there, TELL ME EVERY SINGLE DETAIL!\" Maybe rapid fire 2-3 questions in there: \"What was the weather like? What were the people like! Which resort did you stay at? What did you do any excursions?\" Just some ideas. This takes the conversation to a whole new level and I think it really grabs people's attention when you aren't just asking to be polite, but you're really interested in what is going on in their lives.

"], "suffix": ["Get a notebook for every class and one really big binder with dividers for each class so that you can put all handouts and any other pieces of paper given to you in the binder. Also make sure you have a small weekly planner to write down everything you need to do and when it needs to be done by. Trust me this will save your life.\n", "I get a notebook for each class, and a regular folder for each as well for handouts/labs. My main thing is using those regular cheap wall calendars for writing assignment due dates on. That way I can look at the entire month at once, seeing if I can work on a big paper on the second Saturday of the month or etc.", "One notepad/notebook for each class, one binder for each class.\n\nLearn to take notes well. Draw a line separating 1/3 of each page. Take notes on the 2/3 side, write comments and questions on the 1/3 side.\n\nSAME DAY as lecture, rewrite your notes in outline form on hole-punched paper. This will help you structure your new knowledge. Put those notes in a three-ring binder. Also any handouts, reference materials, etc, go in that binder.\n\nYou can then easily assess where your gaps are, and follow up via email or office hours to get them filled in. Rewrite your now-complete notes a second time.\n\nAny assigned reading, etc... also take notes, put the notes in outline form, assess your gaps, and fill them, then rewrite your notes. Into the binder they go.\n\nYou have now practically mastered the material, by addressing it three times, and thinking critically about the material and how it fits together. And your notes are organized well enough that review is a snap.\n\n*Note: Additional studying will be required for classes that require heavy memorization (flashcards are great for this, quiz your study buddies). And this method doesn't apply as well to certain classes (like the 300-level poetry class I took on a whim).\n\nAnd re: binders for taking notes: they suck. They take up way too much desk real estate. Learn to love spiral-bound notebooks or steno/legal pads.\n", "I'll give you some tips and tricks on how I manage my academics. I'm not sure if you want general advice in addition to how to manage the notes, but let me know in a reply if you want.\n\n**Scanning/Cloud Storage:** I'll start by urging you to buy a multi-function printer and start using cloud storage. I personally have a Brother MFC-7860DW which has greatly changed my academic career. Whenever I get any handout in class, finish any homework, or whatever, I throw it in the scanner and add the scanned PDF to a local folder that syncs to Google Drive [(Link)](https://www.google.com/drive/download/) **Protip: if your college email uses gmail, you have free infinite google drive storage*. There are so many times where this has helped. For example, maybe I forgot my Calc homework at home--well now I can download the scan I made and print it on campus before class. At first, it seems like a lot of scanning, but it ends up being a once a day thing that makes a huge difference. Besides, once everything is online, I can throw the paper copies into a storage binder in a cabinet and be done with it. People are always bewildered when I walk around with just my laptop (no backpack) since I can work, study, do whatever wherever. Hell, you can now study on your phone!\n\n**Computer:** If you don't already have a laptop, I would invest in getting a nice one. I used to have a $500 one and it lasted 2 years. I then spent $900 on one which I still use today (it's been 4+ years).", "I had one notebook and I wrote the class and topics at the top of each page of notes.\n\nJust write down everything you can and then study what you have written down.

It's cheap and you don't have to buy those fancy-dan Trapper Keepers. Each semester you only have 4 maybe 5 classes at the most. Get a separate, single subject spiral notebook for each class in a different color. Also get the same number of 2 pocket folders in the corresponding different colors for each class. This way, no matter what days you have any particular class you can quickly grab the correct notebook and folder as you're running out the door without even thinking about it and you have everything you need for that class.

This will save you time and allow you to easily take more important notes. \n\n", "I had one large 5-subject notebook for every year.

When I get home after school/work I go through the notebook and rewrite into individual subject notebooks and add side notes explaining what notes I took in class.

Keep in mind that cigarette smoke is airbone tar :p and its fucking sticky.\n\nB) dont use the laptop in bed or on top of any fabric. Same principle as the previous point. The fabrics leave small speckles of dust and the fans sucks those into the fans and it does accumulate and make it to overeat.\n\nC) if you machine is getting slower, its mostly because modern cpus decrease their speed to prevent damage by overheat or even they shut down when are too hot. Check you laptop for virus, spyware or any background process that eats your cpu and make your lap to get too hot. You can test your cpu, video card and hard disk temp by using speccy, you could use to to check in your solutions are really reducing the temp.\n\n\nMy last suggestion is to get a live cd like ubuntu and Boot your lap with it, so you can figure out if the problem is your hardware or software by using it by a few hours.\n\n\nIf everything points at the hardware and the aircan do not fix this, you might need to check if the cpu fan is well lubricated or working and if the heat thermal grease at the cpu is not dry. If so, this is a fix that most of technicians could do and shouldnt be a problem. If you feel confident, google some youtube videos and do it by yourself. Be careful, you dont want to end with a broken laptop or getting zapped.\n\nGood luck!\n\n\n", "Put some bottle caps under the rear end to get some air flow.

You might not be able to do this with your particular laptop, but it has worked wonders for mine (a few years old using an AMD processor).\n\nThe idea is that your CPU needs to be supplied with a certain voltage to remain stable at a particular clock speed. There is some variation in the quality of the individual processors in a batch. This is why some people are able to overclock their CPUs more than others--luck of getting a better CPU. Similarly, there are plenty of chips in any given batch that are capable of running at a lower voltage than others. Manufacturers keep the default voltages and clock speeds the same across the board, though. \n\nI used the RightMark CPU Clock to experiment with lower voltages. You can set different voltages for different clock speeds that your computer will automatically choose based on how much speed you need. \n\nLower voltage = less power = cooler laptop. \n\n[More info here.](http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/the-undervolting-guide.235824/) \n\nTL;DR: Supply less power instead of lowering clock speed to keep things running fast and generate less heat!", "Number 1 problem: Dust choking off air supply. get some canned air and spray that shit out.

Its like Dell grabbed a motherboard with stuff on it and stuffed it into any case that it would fit into and name it N____", "Most laptop heat issues are, at their root, bad design issues.\n\nWhen shopping for a new laptop, run a hardware monitor (lm_sensors / the \"sensors\" command in Linux; there are a bunch of free ones for Windows) -- compare the CPU temperature with the design temperatures for the CPU. If it's close to the \"high\" mark just running at idle, don't buy that laptop -- when even a bit of dust gets in there, it's going to start overheating.\n\nIf the idling laptop has fan noise, that's also a sign of bad cooling design; running at idle, modern laptop hardware should not need fan assistance to keep itself cool (often laptops will have a low-speed fan at idle that you can hear if you put your ear right up to it; that's fine; I'm talking about fans that make obvious noise).\n\nIf a laptop passes the above two tests, then run something load-intensive on it, e.g. a bunch of simultaneous video compressions (one for each CPU core), and watch how quickly it heats up. Reaching the \"high\" temperature mark during this is fine, but the laptop should be able to keep itself well below the \"critical\" mark indefinitely. If the temperature keeps slowly climbing even after several minutes and never seems to reach equilibrium, you have a bad cooling design and you're going to have heat issues later.\n\nIf you're stuck with a laptop that has cooling issues, then follow the other advice given in this thread -- cleaning out the dust and making sure the fan can spin freely are the biggest ones. If the fan is slow because its bearing is clogged with dust, you need to either replace the fan or oil the bearing -- sometimes it's possible to squirt a drop of bike chain oil into it and get it spinning well again.\n\nAs a last resort, you can also try limiting your CPU speed. Intel CPUs will typically let you do this -- cpufrequtils / \"cpufreq-set\" in Linux; not sure about Windows. Your laptop is probably already doing this when it overheats; by doing it on purpose you can control it more -- e.g. what you're getting right now is probably \"cpu runs at full speed til it overheats, then throttles back to 25%\"; it could be that \"CPU runs at 75% all the time\" is cool enough that overheating doesn't happen, and is still fast enough.", "I've found laptop wireless cards to be heat intensive sometimes.

First off when your laptop gets hot its usually because the heat exchanger cannot get access to adequate air.\n\n Usually the culprit is dust and hair. There is about a 2 mm gap between the fins on your heat exchanger and the vent for your fan. Hair can get into this gap and form a plug. There is a simple solution to this however. Get your hands on an air compressor. get a blower and blow air at about 120 psi into the vent where your heat exchanger vents. (the big one where you feel hot air cone out).

One tip for remembering people involves crazy mental imagery. For instance, if you meet someone named Darryl Strawberry, picture their face on a body that is a giant strawberry. Odd/bizarre imagery tends to stick in the brain and can be used to help recall. It helps to generate the image from a detail of the person, like their name or perhaps an exaggeration of some feature of their physical form.\n\nThis is a type of [mnemonic](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic) device. You simply take something you want to remember and convert it to a form that's easier to retain. For example, to more easily remember which months have 31 days using [knuckles](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ab/Knucklemnemonic.jpg) Each month on a finger/knuckle has 31 days. There is also the old mnemonic rhyme for remembering this:\n\n Thirty days hath September,\n April, June, and November.\n All the rest have thirty-one,\n Excepting February alone,\n And that has twenty-eight days clear,\n And twenty-nine in each leap year.\n\nBTW, people have made a science of improving memory. There are books written on the subject. I would suggest checking Amazon or your library, even some [interesting wiki articles](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_of_memory).", "Try this brainworkshop.sourceforge.net it is supposed to help you develop your memory. I have use it and I have seen some improvements. It is free.", "For general all-type memory, there is no magic way of memorizing things for either both short and long term. Sure, you can come up with mnemonics, but this works only for short, small, and few items. Soon, you can easily get the mnemonics confused.\n\n\nWhat's gotten me through my job that requires me to memorize *a lot* is simple: **repetition**. Seeing and thinking about things three or four times is usually enough for me to remember things: once when you hear it for the first time, then immediately afterwards (an hour-or-so later, after the initial situation's over) to yourself, then several hours/a day later, then several days out. Depending on the complexity, you can shorten the timeframe to reciting a name several times to remember it during a party.\n\n\nAlso, if you make associations between easier things, it's easier to remember and make sense of more things rather than rely on strict memory recall (e.g. Alex lives next to McDonald's -> There's a McDonald's on 18th -> Alex lives on 18th; or the chorionic yolk sac is not part of the fetus -> yolk sac tissue in adults are out of place -> yolk sac tumors are malignant)\n\n\nLastly, I find my thought process works in two steps: recognize an idea to remember, and then committing it to memory. Once you \"memorize\" that a certain thing exists, every thought/fact/memory that associates with that thing has a \"place\" to go inside your head. It makes assembling complex ideas a lot easier, and your recall is more fluid.\n\n--\n\nDoing all of these things takes active mental exertion. You have to be *aware* and *actively* remembering these things. However, once you've started to become a more active thinker and put effort, your memory will likely improve.", "I love this topic.\n\nI learnt to remember more using Derren Brown's book, Tricks Of The Mind - but the techniques can be found online.\n\nThe best method (and the main one Derren uses) is called Loci (nothing to do with Avengers). \n\nBasically, you create a 'memory palace'. In this *palace* you place whatever you need to remember in different places.\n\nWhen it comes to recalling you just walk in to the room and see what's there.\n\nMy palace, or route is a mixture of my Mum's house and My house and holds exactly 52 memories (good for card tricks).\n\nAnyway, [read this on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci), it explains it much better than I can.

Remembering the number 0 (zero)? Easy, think of a Hero. But don't stop there. It's a tiny hero because he only fights Ants. You need to look through a magnifying glass to see him.\n - To commit to long term memory, you need to access the palace every now and again. The more time passes, the less often you need to look.

My method is not feasible everyone as it requires drastic changes to be made and is essentially a byproduct of unfortunate circumstances but nevertheless, it worked for me.\n\nIf you want to change your lifestyle, you have to change your life.

The threat of a random drug screen in order to keep your job is a great motivator to keep you from taking your next j-break.\n\nThe key to quitting is to weed out anyone in your life that enables you. If you are willing to make big changes, you will get big results.", "Having been exactly there myself and now 10 years free of that cycle without having gone to any groups or counselling, I can offer my story and what I learnt in the process.\n\nThe problem with weed is that by the time you are smoking it regularly and consider blazing as trivial and normal as having a cup of tea, your social circle has changed so much that pretty much everyone sees it in the same way that you do as those critical of it have been slowly filtered out of your life as much as you have been from theirs. Now that process is going to start to reverse. The peer pressure with weed is as subtle as it is strong. Your first challenge is to physically stop smoking, but prepare yourself for the next challenge that will come from your friends. I found that a lot of people faded out from my life once I no longer partook in a substance that seemed to be a kind of ritualized \"glue\" holding our friendships together, suddenly revealing them to be rather superficial. \n\nFor the actual quitting part, I used the old \"one day at a time\" cliche and focussed first on just not smoking anything for just one day. At the end of that day I actually felt quite proud of myself and slept better than I could remember for a long time. The following morning I woke up feeling fresher than I had for a long time and then asked myself \"If I could get through yesterday without any, then surely I can today because I actually don't feel all that terrible from lack of it.\" and made it through another day successfully. The next trick was to remove obvious temptations such as my stash. Easier said than done, but just get rid of it. You're in a habit pattern that will always find a way to connect the dots to light up for whatever reason. \"Well, I achieved (fill in missing whatever) so let me reward myself with a Scooby Snack.\" Break that. \nThat was basically it. I found that after about two weeks I had a moment of weakness and lit up a joint from a stash that I forgot that I had. Two drags and I felt sick and put it out. That was the last time I smoked. Set yourself the goal of not getting stoned each day for a couple of weeks and after a while it will eventually become your new habit and you'll be free from it.\n\nGood luck!", "[Damiana](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/damiana-leaf/profile), satisfied my cravings.

It's more like I realize that \"hey, you know what? I don't have any weed, man\" and then go hit up my friend Josh for some. \nSeriously, the next time you're thinking you ought to beef up your stash, just go \"nah, I'll get some later.\" And then later on when you run out you can just not smoke. \nTrust me.

For example, I read a lot as a child. So I would find a good book to read. Sports, art projects, knitting, sculpting, frisbee, anything recreational.\n\nGo for walks, get outside, do something to be active. Sensory stimulation will help you not to be bored.\n\nEat nutritious food and drink plenty of water goes without saying.\n\nTry writing about how you feel when you're not smoking. Many people process emotions better when they write. You may tap into why you are smoking daily in the first place.\n\nFind people who don't smoke weed and hang out with them. See if what they do instead of weed is something you are interested in. \n\nDon't hang out with anyone smoking weed or under the influence of weed on days you do not want to smoke. It's a huge trigger. \n\nYou may need to avoid the activities you normally do while smoking weed for a while. For example, if you like to smoke weed then watch cat videos, and you only watch cat videos when you smoke weed, then watching cat videos is going to be another trigger to smoke weed.\n\nKeep a record of your progress. It can help motivate you to see how many days you didn't smoke last month, and try to beat that record for this month. \n\nIf you find you are still smoking and it's interfering with your life, you should consider talking to a counselor. It doesn't mean you need to quit smoking weed, but there may be other issues you need to address that are driving you to smoke so much weed. ", "Stay busy.

I quit drinking because it prevents the absorption of protein, as well as adds to one's gut. I don't smoke myself because of legal issues, but would when they are dissolved. Nothing wrong with moderation however. If you see it as an issue, replace it with a healthier substitute.

I imagine it's not cheap and easy to get so how can someone keep it up?", "Just Laziness?! Perhaps, laziness in admitting in what others ways its detrimental in your day-to-day life. For myself, it was damaging relationships with my parents (I lived at home) and damaging my sleeping patterns, rendering me often lack-lust and anti-social. Figure out who/what surrounds you and realise that those things could improve without the smoking every day. David Bowie said himself that drug consumption was damaging his relationships so thats why he stopped. I was always getting emotionally addicted to marijuana. I would give up for a few days or a week and not think about it, but then get right back into it: buy a stick or a fifty and smoke by myself in my room or continue to smoke with a friend. I only have one mantra now for not smoking weed, and that is, \"It's not worth it. Not even once.\"", "It's not easy and not fun but quitting is worth it. You need to stop hanging out with people who smoke, you need to delete the numbers of your dealers. Get as far away from the drug as you can, if it's within reach you will most likely smoke it. Lastly, weed dependency is psychological not physical. Quitting is a battle of willpower. Are you going to be in control of your life, or do you want to be controlled by a substance? It gets easier after a week or two. As far as filling the gap goes, pick up something that'll take up a lot of your time. Play an epic rpg, read Infinite Jest, work out, watch all of the X files, anything really.", "It's a habit that is harder to break for some than others. To me it sounds like you want to ease off more than outright quit. \n\n\nTake everything you have and give it to a friend, including glass, papers, etc. From here you can go two ways. \n\n\nRoute 1: ask them to come smoke with you at greater intervals. First, leave one day between, then two, three, four, and so on. This way you can slowly break yourself out of the habit, and your friend can be a bit of a failsafe. Instead of going to the cabinet whenever you want, you are on a set schedule with that friend. Eventually your tolerance will lower, and you will be comfortable having it at your reach again without feeling you \"need\" it every day. \n\n\nRoute 2: Tell your friend to hold on to it for a month. That's about the time it takes to break a habit, usually. The first few days will suck, you'll find yourself wishing you had some, but by the end of the month you will likely be able to look at it objectively and decide if you want to have it back, wait another month, or be totally done. If you get it back you will find, again, a much lower tolerance. You'll likely be one and done for quite a while and you will be fine going days or weeks between hits. \n\n\nIn the meantime, as others have said, hobbies are good, but don't be too ambitious. If you aren't an active person replacing weed with working out will probably make you think \"this sucks, I'm going to get stoned instead.\" Take it easy and go with a walk around the neighborhood to relax nightly, rather than a gym membership.\nAlso avoid things that are \"high activities.\" For example I used to like to get high, listen to vinyls, and paint. Trying to do that after I quit just made me think about how much better it was high. \n\n\nAnd lastly, depending on your will power you don't have to cut your friends out of your life. That will just make you sad and lonely. Instead ask them not to smoke around you or offer it to you until you are ready. I got to a point where I was totally fine rolling a blunt for my friends and sitting with them while they smoked it, but again, that depends on your personal comfort, and will probably take a while to get to. I went from four or five blunts a day to a hit every month or so, sometimes with year-long gaps in between. ", "It might be better to cut down slowly. \nMaybe bring it down to once every 2-4 days, then stop altogether after a month, the numbers are yours to play with.\n\nThe reason being is, at least in my experience, a person gets periods of hyper irritability in the 2-7 days that follow, and they might not even attribute it to not smoking because there might be no cravings.", "I was stuck in this loop once. Smoke and play video-games. Smoke and reddit. Smoke and do nothing in particular. Sigh until your lungs are empty and completely sink back into your chair. Be limp. That's how weed was making me feel. Sluggish, tired, lazy. \n\nJust stop. Grow up. Stop buying it. It really only takes a few days to not be incredibly frustrating. A few days for you to feel a lot better. You'll feel proud of your accomplishment. I still crave it, but i just... don't do it. I know it's not going to be worth it. If you honestly want to quit, you do. Stash away the money you would have spent on weed and spend it on something awesome instead. I educated myself, i have a house and a car. I have a family now. \n\nThere's a ton of tiny little things you can do instead. Take a brisk walk, look at your surroundings. Draw a picture. Read a book.

It started my junior year in high school and lasted until 3 years after I graduated. All my friends and girlfriends I had throughout that time were potheads so even if I didn't have weed some I was with had it. There were a few times in that 5 years where I wanted to quit but due to constantly being around it quitting seemed damn near impossible. \n\nThe main thing that pushed me to quit was wanting a job that I knew would drug test to be hired but didn't randomly test. I wanted the job because I was tired of working at a restaurant that paid under the table. With no pay stubs to prove my income I was stuck living with my parents, I couldn't finance a new car, and I couldn't buy the new motorcycle I wanted at the time. \n\nThe first and hardest part with quitting was that I had to stop hanging around my friends when they were smoking. The good thing about my friends is they knew I wanted to better myself so they wouldn't even ask if I wanted a hit here or there. Most of the time they would purposely smoke before I showed up to hang out too. \n\nAfter a couple weeks I no longer had urges to get high so I was able to be around my friend while they smoked. Once I passed my drug test to get hired I thought I was going to be able to smoke again since they didn't random. Well they ended up making me a forklift diver even though I had no experience in that. Everyone there said forklift drivers at the company were prone to being drug tested so there was my motivation to stay clean. It has been about a year and a half since I first decided to quit and it only gets easier to stay clean.

It's no longer fun anymore because you are basically putting your body in constant fun mode so you can barely even make the distinction anymore. I nothing else, AT LEAST designate weed for fun times. Set a time for yourself when you can smoke and use the other time to do something productive. You will eventually end up feeling better in your sober time and uncover because you are actually doing stuff worthwhile, not just sitting around being a waste of space, and you also are smoking as a reward and not constantly. Start up longer projects the further you go along and space out your smoking times more and more. You'll get there eventually. I know it's a cliche thing to say, but Rome wasn't built in a day.

It doesn't make your life less boring. Treating the symptom instead of the problem. Having a hobby or something to work towards will alleviate boredom in a more concrete way. Something that will leave you with a talent or skill are my favorite.\n\nHobby Ideas:\n\n**Musical Instrument** - If anything pick up a cheapy electronic keyboard and study up on music theory. $10 hobby right there.\n\n**Programming** - You're already spending all your time on the computer anyway, why not get something out of it? Just kidding, you'll never make money on your games *cries*\n \n**Art/Graphic Design** - Remember when you were a kid and you doodled in your notebook? Were ya any good? Well pick it back up! The graphic design part takes about $100 for a decent tablet to work with though.\n\n**Workout** - Most of my friends have quit smoking weed when they turned into MMA meat heads. Love em to death, not my style though.\n\nThese are long term hobbies that will work to fill your boring times. You don't have to take any of these, in fact I'd think you'd find more success if you came up with your own.\n\nWas there anything you did as a kid that you said \"Hey I'm pretty good at this!\" Anything that you weren't good at but had fun doing?

", "Give yourself a small task to accomplish before you're allowed to smoke, like doing the dishes or reading for 15 minutes. This will make smoking more of a reward for getting stuff done. Then make your tasks bigger and bigger(cleaning the whole house, reading a whole book) so that you put off smoking for longer. \n", "Best way to quit is to not be able to afford it. Budget out what you need to live each month and lock the rest in savings. If you still can't refrain even when you know you could starve if you do, then you have a problem and need rehab. ", "A lot of people say to hide all your shit and pre occupy your time with something. I have been smoking non stop since I was 16 (give or take) and I have had to quit for a drug test.

It doesn't matter if 4 other people sign the same lease, if they skip out, then you pay 100%.\n\nMost landlords will only allow 1 person to sign the lease (or a couple). So whoever signs is 100% responsible. Also, sub-leasing (roommates) may not be permitted.", "Honestly, it would be a good idea to read posts from /r/pettyrevenge. You will see a lot of the potential problems with roommates in general, beyond just paying things late. There are a lot of issues to discuss other than money. ", "- condition reports - make sure you go through the house thoroughly before you move in. Take photos of _EVERYTHING_. Write up everything that is not perfect on the condition report when you sign the lease.\n\nIf the agent/landlord will not attend an inspection before you move in, ask nicely for them to do that. If they refuse, consider looking for another place. If you proceed anyway, be prepared for potential problems when you move out.\n\nother than that - don't damage things, pay rent on time, and if things need fixing communicate clearly with the agent/landlord - both via email, phone, in person and by letter if necessary.\n\nalso: in response to other comments about individual leases for rooms vs one lease - most jurisdictions do not permit this for rental properties - renting individual rooms categorises the house as a boarding house (terminology may vary). Some private landlords might be open to renting rooms individually but it's not common for landlords to engage in this if the house is not registered with the local government as a boarding house.\n\nSome landlords will be happy for a lead tenant to rent the whole house and sublet. Even when knowing the lead tenant is making a profit or getting free rent for their room.", "See if the landlord will do separate leases. When I was in college there were places that rented houses by bedrooms so each lease was for the bedroom and then the only risk is the common areas making you lose your deposit. It might be more work for the landlord so it may be hard to get but it doesn't hurt to ask.\n\nIf you can't, see if you can find a way to draw up a binding contract between all housemates regarding rent and damages. If someone skips out you're still responsible to the landlord but you would also have a way to go after that person to recoup some of it. I don't know how one would do this because I definitely just made it up but I feel like it's possible. Maybe do a Google search for info about it. I can't be the first to think of that.\n\n", "Here in England you can get a joint contract where the rent might be something like £1200 a month and then you split it between you and you all sign the one contract. In this case, the landlord can come after other tennants for money if one doesn't pay up. Also, if someone leaves and you don't get a replacement, then the rent is still £1200 for the house, but shared between less of you, so you have to pay more. Also, finding a replacement is your job, not the landlords.\n\nIf you get individual contracts, you sign one each and your rent might be something such as £300 a month. If someone leaves then you still only pay £300 a month and it's the landlord or estate agent that finds a replacement. The only thing that might go up is bills. My water bills in student housing have always been unmetered, so we get charged the same amount, no matter how many are in the house, so when someone leaves, the bill is split 3 ways, not 4.\n\n\n\n", "As everyone else has suggested, read the lease 100 times over with a fine tooth comb. It is really important to understand exactly what you are getting in to. The roommates I have lived with have all been people that i have very much trusted financially, so I never felt the need to do this, but landlords can write separate leases for each roommate. They can split the costs accordingly, and then you are only responsible for your lease (which would be your own portion of the total monthly rent).\n\nSome other things I want to add in: Make sure you and your roommates create a list of things you need for the house. Make sure you divide this list evenly and buy the things you will all need. Also sort out how you will buy groceries. I had a roommate who was vegetarian and we just ended up buying our own and splitting the fridge in half because it was easier that way. It also avoids the issue of one person eating all the things.\n\nAs a side note, I would also recommend creating a set of house rules that includes stuff like policies on having significant others/overnight guests. I lived with 3 girls who were not comfortable with my boyfriend staying the night.. There were a lot of fights that could have been avoided if something was clear cut before hand. \n\nFeel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

She told me this while we were walking in the middle of a mall so I couldn't freak out. :) After a few days of trying to NOT think about it, I realized I had to. So I just decided to make it as clinical as possible. I took her to the doctor, we asked questions about BC, and went through the next few weeks getting that in order.

I can't say I know what you're going through, but I can imagine it must be awful.

You're treating her like the human being that she is, and showing her respect, whereas most people her age are treated like dogs - given orders and withheld explanations - and told scary, ridiculous stories in a terrible attempt to head off intercourse before marriage. \nShe may not appreciate this now.

Maybe a way to look at it is that there are a LOT of parents out there that would love the opportunity to have a child that could do normal things like be in relationships and have sex. Your hardships are relative, so that doesn't negate your feelings, but it's a different perspective. See your daughter as a young woman who is figuring out her place in the world, just like you're figuring out how to parent a young woman. I didn't have a great opportunity set up by my parents to be open about relationships, and I suffered because of that. If you're sick or grossed about the idea of her having sex, she'll know.

Cool people.\n\nBest advice here would be: if you really can't talk to her about this without freaking out, then Don't. Leave that talk to her mother or another trusted family member who is way more cool about this than you are. If you let on that you are disgusted by her sexuality, you could cause all kind of weird psychological shame issues and fuck with her development. Try visualizing that she is your son or something .

I will never forget the rage and disgust in her voice as she shook me awake at 3am to ask me if I'd been having sex. I hadn't but I had learned about it in school and wanted to write a story. She didn't believe me. She was even angry because one of the characters in the story used a condom. Really mom? You're mad because my story practiced safe sex?

Many if not most women cannot orgasm from penetration alone. Outercourse is fun and feels great and can be the main attraction if penetration isn't on the menu. It's also a great way to get women ready, physically and mentally, for intercourse.\n\nKink is fun and natural and can be more dangerous than you think. Many guys watch porn stars choke women and don't know it can be fatal in seconds. Have a talk about it beforehand.

Condoms are quite effective when used correctly and can be maneuvered into foreplay in order to make it more comfortable for the guy.

If you provide your girl with enough support, and \"emotional ammo\" chances are, she'll pick a good guy (or girl, who knows? but for the sake of simplicity, i'll keep my language in the hetero)\n\nRemember that sex isn't 100% this guy's choice, it's your daughter's too. She will want to take steps into adulthood, that young man does too and he might be going really far out on a limb... I'm not saying pimp your daughter out, but understand that some young man might have real feelings for your daughter. If he is anything like I was, he could be painfully shy, and pretty fragile around that age. He is somebody's kid too, and to have his girlfriend's parent shatter him when he tries to reach out emotionally/physically... well, that's how serial killers are made.\n\nIf it's just her virginity you're worried about, remember that in the long run it doesn't mean very much.

I guess it was a tad easier for me on the first daughter because her older brother went through it first. Here is what I did.\n\n1) I bought her condoms. I told her not to give them out to friends, and that she didn't need to tell/show anyone etc. But that at some point in the coming years (hopeful right? LOL) she would meet a boy and one thing would progress to another and they would want to have sex. I told her that it was her responsibility to make sure it was always safe sex. The boy can get her preggers and leave her life and she is left with all the terrible decisions. No matter how much he loves her, when she is pregnant things WILL change. So just be as careful as she can.\n\n2) I told her that dating is a slippery slope. At first if you say you are dating you are, then the first time you hold hands that is now what it means to be dating... One day it was kissing, and now if you aren't kissing you are not dating, this continues to petting and then to sex (with some steps in-between depending on the kids). So she should be aware that when she chose the boy she was going to first have sex with that would change how she dated for the rest of her life, and what it meant to her. That helped her understand that there was no rush (yay!), she did eventually find a boy she liked/loved enough of course.\n\n3) I told her that communication between her and I had to be on the up and up at all times. This means we talk about anything and everything. And in return she always has a free pass. I support her in any of the choices she makes in life that I think are positive, and I love her through the ones she makes that I feel are negative. We started this years ago but it is never too late! Also we talked about sex, and how in the beginning its all just humping, but how she can explore other things (mild PG things she is a teenager I wasn't willing to dive off that goddamn cliff!) as her relationship grew/she got older/or just curious. We awkwardly talk about this on and off now, as she has questions and that's a good thing!\n\n4) I supply her with all birth control and an unlimited supply of condoms. Never stop doing that. I also did it for my boy (no birth control obviously reddit.). \n\n5) She is allowed to have nookie at our house as long as it is discrete as her younger sister is not at that stage in her life. Sex, drugs and alcohol they are going to do it, make it in as safe a place as possible. Nothing like banging in the forest and forgetting the condom but everyone is excited and its just this once~~~ (plz no).\n\nAll in all we have a very healthy and often awkward relationship about this. But as a single dad, this was NOTHING compared to puberty. Shit I didn't think I was going to make it on that one! (we survived)\n\nIf at anytime you aren't sure what to do, stop doing everything and just shower her with love. It always worked for me.\n\nCheers!", "I am glad you see your emotional reaction and are concerned about it. You are in touch with how it makes you feel and you recognize and own your emotional response.

You are going to communicate that sex is fun, natural and that she an talk to you about.\n\nIt's one of those times as a parent that you just get through. Know you reaction is normal, though.

And that when she ends up having a sexual relationship (unless super lucky) it won't be the last person she has sex with.\n\nIf you are a dad and If you happen to think of yourself as a sexual deviant, then I guess you might think all men are going to want to do unspeakable things to your daughter and thus be super overprotective of her.\n\nYou would think the same thing if you are a mom and had mainly bad experiences with men.\n\nIf you think of your own experiences, then you would understand some of those experiences were good, but because of other non sexual reasons the relationship with these people didn't end up in long term relationships.\n\nYou might not even like her first \"love interest\".\n\n Just make sure that if you really don't like him, it isn't because he's having sex with your daughter. \n\nMaybe down the road her partner ends up being family, someone that you might befriend and love.\n\nSo give the benefit of the doubt and expect that her first (and subsequent) sex partner is a good guy that actually cares for her.\n\nHopefully wanting grandchildren later on might help you ;)", "Here's a tip, don't ask a bunch of losers on Reddit who have no children about parenting advice.

Well, from an evolutionary perspective, you can think of them as a sort of override to our consciousness when our conscious decisions would cause us to make decisions that are sub-optimal in terms of producing great numbers of great grandchildren.\n\nIn our ancestral environments, we would have lived in small communities, with family having a great deal of influence on our reproductive decisions, because the wisdom of older people would help us to make the best reproductive decisions (again in evolutionary terms this means resulting the greatest number of great grandchildren). So for people who may sometimes adopt a conscious philosophy that allows for sexual freedom despite the very permanent reproductive consequences, we probably have some built in emotions that override or at least strongly influence conscious thought on this issue. \n\nThis makes sense of all of our emotions if you think about it.

Sometimes, it's best to pause, think through the last thing they said, hear it again, and go from there.\n\nWhen you first start this, don't be afraid to try other gimmicks to bide time, such as a classic \"I'm sorry, could I just finish this one thing quick and then my attention is yours?\" Follow up with completing whatever you are working on (don't fake it), and simply consider the conversation before you have it.\n\nBottom line, don't let emotions go.

You'll never have to think about all the skin cells, bugs, bodily fluids, etc that a mattress accumulates over the years.\n\nI picked up the habit in Japan, but if you think about it, it's probably how most people have slept in human history. I lay one blanket out on my carpet floor, cover myself up in another, and I'm set. It might not be for everyone, but I've never looked back.", "Get a memory foam topper (they may be called something different regionally where you are).

Otherwise, ewwwww.", "Ask the hotel what kind of mattresses they use, and get one of those. \n\nConsider this: If you would pay a dollar a night for a good night's sleep, at the end of the year you would have $365, enough for a brand new mattress every year. So, make room in your budget to replace the mattress every so often. You spend a third of your life there and it affects the quality of your life, so it's worth throwing a few hard earned dollars at getting a quality mattress.", "A few other ideas I haven't seen...\n\n(Possibly obvious and/or already tried) Flip your mattress over and try that. Also rotate it 180º so the part where your head was is now at your feet and vice versa. You might find that your weight is now on different parts of the mattress, and it is more comfortable.\n\nIf the bed has a box spring or other spring system under the mattress, get a piece of plywood cut to the size of the bed and put it under the mattress but above the springs. That will make everything firmer.\n\nCheck around. You may be able to find a new mattress for little money, even if it doesn't last for years and years. $150 spent on a new mattress may be worth it for your comfort, even if you use it for 12 months and leave it when you move.\n\nIs this a dorm or corporate housing where everything is identical? When a neighbor is moving, swap the mattress after they leave. Ot perhaps tip the maintenance people and ask them to find you a better mattress.", "this is funny because as i age i am starting to understand this question. the wife and i actually talk about these things. \n\nbut i am too lazy to fix a bed and in my bachelor days i had a futon. i would not wash or fix it for months. i had tons of blankets because it snowed in the area. oh and i had a dog and there were at least 5 stray cats at any given time in the house or on my futon. plus i smoked so man it must have smelled awful. i also ate, studied, partied and hung out on the futon for it was a small room. never thought to wash anything. basically a girlfriend would take over when they had enough. but man it was soooo comfortable. i remember the comforting smell of this filthy college squirrel's nest because going home to mom's bleached crisp sheets was uncomfortable. \n\nbut now i get it. i still miss futons but as a married dad i sleep in a real bed that is clean and fixed daily. well not by me but i appreciate it!", " Memory foam toppers are great but thin and expensive.

Most places won't change out a mattress just because you are uncomfortable; they would be hauling mattresses all day for that.\n\nAlso, does this place depend on on-line reviews or continued contracts with different companies? Do you know of someone with influence? If a contract with your company, find out if there are agreements regarding fitness for habitation being violated.\n\nSee if you can find a year of manufacture on the tag or searching by model #. Stating the mattress has had X years of constant use is very specific and puts images in the listener's head. \n\nIf you can talk to maintenance about how old it is, do so. Keep their names & department out of it, use it just for your knowledge. Sharing that info is an offense that can lead to someone getting fired.\n\nFinally, check city, county and state laws regarding consumer protection or public health codes. If the laws are searchable, search for 'bedbugs' and that may take you directly to that section. If any law, statute or code applies, call the department that enforces it.\n\nEven if they don't send an inspector, they will usually send a warning letter. All of that is only effective if the fines/negative publicity are higher than the cost of at least one new mattress.\n\nStart with finding out its age. Then a written letter (tracked delivery) to management stating your request. Ask for a written & mailed response so they don't just stop by or call to deny.\n\nIf the manager denies, write the owner or franchise director. Keep escalating as needed. If all else fails, start a fake twitter account in their name or address. Cynically post comments soliciting sadists, etc.\n\nGood luck.\n\nOh, you can also visit /r/talesfromthefrontdesk and see if anyone has other advice.\n\n", "If it's got an indentation from sleeping in the same spot and you've already flipped it a few times try sticking a few pillows underneath the mattress. it'll be lumpy for a few days but will even out eventually.", "Consider futon.

Fast forward to the week before I leave for Texas and just so happens she’s pregnant.\n\nThe reason I told you all of this is because my ex would say the same kind of shit to me. \n\n4 years, $19k in legal fees, $1000/month in child support and a 50/50 parenting schedule later, I regret not kicking her to the curb when I had the chance. \n\nI absolutely adore my child and am a great father, but it was not the childhood I wanted to give my firstborn. \n\nThe moral to this story? Thinking it’s ok to cum inside crazy one time will fuck your whole life up. \n\nGet out while you still can.", "My dude what you are really telling us is that the sex is so good, your willing to have a kid with her to hit it a few more time. If that’s true pound away. If not - please don’t stick your dick in that and have a little bit of self control to not fuck up your whole life.", "Tell her you don't want kids and that it's either the condom or the pill, you can add that if she get pregnant you won't stay to raise the child, as you don't want one.\n\nBut don't like, give her something without her knowing, that's just shitty", "as a woman, I advise you to run so fast she can still see your dust cloud. like in the cartoons. she is trying to trap you or has some breeding kink but wants it for real", "Then break up with her without using her for more sex first or attempting to drug her jfc.", "Get snipped or get clear.

If you do that, prepare for fatherhood. For the contraceptive pill to be effective she does need to take it at the same time every day, for at least one week before sex. To prevent pregnancy after the fact, she would also want to continue taking them at the same time every day for another week. If you really insist on having sex with her again, you would need to basically move in with her for at least a fortnight and **watch** her take the pill at the same time every day.\n\nOn a level, this seems very trappy though.

As long as both you and this person is connecting to snapchat servers only snapchat will know what IP-adress is associated to each user, the only way for you to access this information is to either:\n\nA) Hack snapchats servers (aka. forget about it)\n\nB) Know someone on the inside of snapchat that also happen to have access to this information (most of them probably don't) and that you also can bribe for the information (most of them you probably can't = aka. forget about it)\n\nC) Communicate directly with the person either as yourself or under-cover and lure them away from snapchat and onto a server you or someone you know is running (aka. cheaper or not even necessary to bribe at all)\n\nI believe the name for option C would be something along the lines of \"Honeypot\" but TBH if you have to google what this is you most likely have no chance whatsoever of succeding with this anyway...)\n\nNow option C is assuming also that the person isn't on VPN or another form of encrypted or public/shared network to be possible...\n\nOK, so maybe now you have the IP adress you're looking for...\n\nBut now what? Well.. now you're sitting there with a bunch of unintelligble numbers in your hand that will give you no more information than what you started with. Maybe, maaaybe if you're very lucky you can get an approximate city/region the person is in but that's about it. \n\nThe only place now where you can connect those unintelligble numbers from their IP to an actual name/adress would be with information from his internet service provider. So yeah... scroll back up and read points A and B again but replace \"snapchat\" for \"persons internet providers name\" but story is the same, you're still back trying to bribe people or hack multi-billion dollar companies... (aka. forget about it)\n\nI guess you can see how none of this is very likely to happen or be succesful if you'd try, right? The only thing you could possibly do on your own is to get in contact with the police and/or snapchat. (My guess is though that snapchat will not touch this if they're not contacted by the police/nsa/fbi/whatever and police/nsa/fbi/whatever will not touch this unless something have actually already happened to someone, aka. someone already being actively kidnapped/murdered/whatever)\n\nOnly chance you have in the area of \"untethical solutions\" is to persuade/trick the person into handing more personal information about themselves over to you directly by some means but most likely is still that neither snapchat nor police will touch this even if you could give them a full name and an adress so now what do you do?\n\nBring all your gorilla-looking friends with their baseball bats over to their house and have a \"stern talking\" to them to make them stop? Maybe also bring both their phone-browsing thumbs with y'all when you leave again so they won't get any second thoughts in the future? Lol, I don't know you or you friends but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this scenario is not very likely outside of movies. (Or perhaps I guess, mafia circles...)\n\nAs for what you refer to as \"friends\", if they do not believe your word without proof they are not actually your friends and they will possibly not believe your words when you bring proof either.\n\nIf this is the case then all of the above adventures was probably a huge waste of your time even if by some astronomical chance they were successful?\n\nTLDR; Best (probably only) chance for you if serious about \"making this stop once and for all\" is to contact local police and hope they will care enough to take it from there", "Yes, it is possible.

(That's where he met my Grandma.)\n\nThey got married and had their first child. They could not raise her on restaurant pay, and there were no other jobs in the Kansas farmland. They moved to Houston.\n\nGrandpa had no formal education, but was talented with electricity and engineering. His cousin, (who had the same initials and last name), held a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Kansas State. Herbert George [redacted] died in 1920 from tuberculosis.\n\nGrandpa, (Herman Grover [redacted]) took Herbert's degree, called it his own, and got a job with Houston Light & Power as a supervisor. He had to get up to speed quickly on things like E.E. theory and civil engineering, but he worked his ass off to stay ahead of his employees. He worked for HL&P for 30+ years, until a stroke paralyzed him ~1958.\n\nSo, lie your ass off.

An employer will say they are looking for \"experience\" but another way of putting it is they want someone that has \"knowledge\" in the field you're applying for. No one is stopping you from teaching yourself everything you can about a subject through the internet. This is much easier if you can take pictures as proof of your skills. For example I didn't go to school or get employed for woodworking, landscaping, welding, or any other handyman work. But I taught myself the skills, documented my work, and have can demonstrate that I have knowledge on what it is they're looking for. You can learn anything you want and exaggerate the \"experience\" part.", "I'm guilty of this and it worked, just not for myself. My boyfriend was having a hard time finding work, wanted to do office work he knew how to do but didn't have experience in the field. I fixed up his resume, leaving all his actual work experience. Didn't have much luck. Added 6 months experience at a small IT repair place in our town, put my # for the reference. \n \nHe ended up getting a job through a third party contracting agency managing desktop support for 10 hospitals in the area. The consulting place never even tried to call the reference #. He did good work, and when he jumped ship he had relevant experience to put on his resume, with no lies. \n\nIf you plan to do this, have a friend or someone ready as a reference who knows what's going on, list their # from the get go. Do not try this ar any place you really want to work for, or any place you wouldn't want to be blacklisted from. If they catch on you'll never be hired there. Choose some smaller company to get actual experience on your plate then you can start honestly applying for your dream jobs. Prepare well for the interview and make sure you have the skills needed and know what you'll say if they ask for experiences in your previous role. \n\nI really don't recommend doing this, but beyond putting my # and fake info on my bf's application he was able to just bullshit though it. My real advice is this, if you want to do it honestly - find out what skills you will need to do the job. Do a personal side project independently, do some contracting through Upwork, volunteer, whatever. If you build a portfolio doubly good. Just SOMETHING to put on your resume that demonstrates you know your shit. That's enough to get you into the door at some places.", "Just make sure that you at least know the basics and relevant terminology of the stuff you're faking.", "Just put a real company that has gone out of business on the resume.

The company you supposedly worked for.\n2. The reference you put down.\n3. The experience itself.\n\nNow look, I'm going to be harsh but it's neccesary, if you actually want to successfully pull this off.\n\nPeople who are fresh from University usually have enthusiasm in bags, know about a lot of theories in their field etc but don't know how the day to day operations work in their field. \n\nThey may not know jargon that's only used around certain types of projects, or may not be able to understand how different parts of the business interlink etc.\n\nNow if you were hired by a company genuinely they would expect this, and after 6 months to a year, your enthusiasm and skills would be getting utilized and you would be gaining invaluable knowledge about not only your field, but also the way people operate in a workplace and more specifically how people operate in your area of expertise. \" The way things are done\"\n\nThis is the hardest bit to fake. It's one thing if you've worked in the field and just can't get a job so your going to emblemish things, bit going in fresh is a whole new ballgame.\n\nSo let's look at the 3 points I raised. \n\n1.these days companies do check references sometimes. The company itself will be on LinkedIn and so will the majority of it's staff. If you are saying you worked there you may need that on any profiles you have etc. These checks are part of the background checks companies employ.\n\nYou can choose a company who is no longer operating. That way they can't physically check the references, though these can be tricky to find. \n\n2. Easier. You can simply find a colleague or associate or family friend who is willing to be your reference and pretend they have worked with you.\n\nAgain, if they are going as far as checking these, they may well check that person works at the company you mention or ask for a corporate email address associated with the company. So be prepared to have one on hand, or be able to reference a company that doesn't exist. The best option here is a friend at a company that is real who just lies and said you worked there.

Stay off LinkedIn until you can back it up\n4. Make up tons of stories. Interviewers will want to know examples of times you resolved conflicts, overcame obstacles, and even when you failed and what you learned from it. Use real life stories and just change the setting and technical details, they will work much better. It's not enuf to say you worked somewhere, you have to have learned something and grown from it.\n5. Read some books on mgmt techniques. learn to speak their language. Use buzzwords as often as possible. Simon Sinek - Start With Why and Verne Harnish - Scaling Up are good places to start.\n6. Make the current job on your resume the most relevant and high profile one. Prospective employers can't check or contact your current employer, so load that one up with all the bullshit.\n7. Realize that you are going to fail interview after interview until you learn to say what they wanna hear. That's ok, its part of the game. Record your interviews, develop better answers and stories. Ask for feedback always.\n8. Be confident AF. Never flinch.\n9. If you don't know the answer to a question and dont have some bullshit loaded in the chamber, its fine to admit it or say that you haven't dealt with that before.\n10. Post a fake job that's similar to what you want on Monster or DICE or whatever and use the resumes you receive as a basis for yours.\n11. in your first couple interviews, ask what the day-to-day is like. this will give you content for your stories. See if you can find ppl with similar jobs and grill them for info\n12. Talk about stuff in a way that discourages the more technical questions you might not know. If you were talking about American Football and you casually say that NFC teams have historically had more success running slants and wideouts than play-action, no one is gonna ask you what a Tight End is.\n13. In fact, talk a lot. In a legit, honest interview you want to be the one talking less, but in a bullshit one, you want to use #12 to confidently occupy most of the time to limit the interviewer's ability to ask you shit you don't know.\n14. do the research and write a good resume and cover letter. keep both to one page.\n15. Don't lie about your education. It's not illegal to lie about work history, but it is about schooling. It's way easier to verify as well.\n16. google \"top 50 (job title) interview questions\" and make sure you can answer all of them confidently with a story of how that works or how you applied it in the past. \n\n", "Put me down as a reference.

Probably the most practical one where you have a lot of control. Tipping culture is dumb to begin with, but no reason to tip someone for poor service. \n* **Clog their toilet**. Quickest way to do it is by using massive amounts of toilet paper or flushing paper towel. If it’s a decent size restaurant, it’ll be easier to get away. It’ll also be an expensive fix for the owner and cause a traffic jam for patrons still in the restaurant. \n* **Issue a public health violation**. You can really put in whatever you want and a health inspector will go in and check. I couldn’t find anything online to suggest filing a false report with the local public health agency would get you reprimanded. More likely than not, a restaurant with rude staff has poor hygiene and doesn’t conduct good maintenance due to low morale. \n* **Spam bad reviews online**. Nowadays, many people use Google or Yelp to know if a restaurant is worth visiting. The most effective strategy I’ve seen is by outing them directly on social media. If I know anything about Reddit, they are effective at doxxing businesses who act in bad faith and they will take notice when patrons stop coming into their restaurant. Technically, it’s not against TOS because restaurants are public buildings, meaning all of their information can be accessed by anyone in the world. Restaurants by their very nature don’t get the same type of privacy rights as an individual because they need to advertise in order to attract customers. If you want to keep it under wraps, there are even services you can purchase online to pay someone to write bad reviews. \n\nWishing you luck! Sorry that you had a bad experience with the restaurant staff. As someone who has worked in a dysfunctional restaurant, I find it unacceptable when people don’t provide the appropriate level of service to their patrons. Working minimum wage or less isn’t an excuse to be rude to customers because they always have the choice to act in a positive or negative manner.

Like magazines, newspapers, etc. Might even want to sign them up for porn sites and fetish sites using a throwaway email if they require a physical mailing address. These kinds of sites sell the shit out of your data so they’ll be on tons of other marketing lists too. \n\nA more old school touch to that is that if you know their phone number, start posting ads for crazy shit. Like, go around all over town and post flyers advertising S&M sex with their number on the flyer. \n\nAlso, routinely use your burner phone to order food to their house. Especially if you already know where they like to order. Like, if you see Dominos delivering there often, order Dominos for them. They’ll get so many bad orders, delivery places will blacklist the address. \n\nStep 5: If you have adjoining backyards, throw scraps of meat or whatever over the wall. It’ll attracts animals. Hard to prove it was you unless they have cameras. Even if caught, it’s probably only littering. \n\nStep 6: Follow them to work. Print up a bunch of flyers saying something like, “Bob Jones, who lives at 123 Main Street, Anytown, 12345, is up to some shady shit.” Great if you can secretly get a photo of your neighbor (zoom lenses are great) and get it printed on the flyer. Hire some kids to put the flyers on every car in the parking lot of where your neighbor works. Kids make shitty witnesses. \n\nStep 7: Depending on what kind of job your neighbor has, use your burner and call his employer as a customer and make a complaint. Better if they work in any sort of regulated industry. Call whatever licensing agency they fall under and try to file a whistleblower complaint. Usually you can remain anonymous but they’ll investigate anyway and the investigation ends up in their records. \n\nStep 8: If they haven’t caved by now, show no mercy. Study up on OSINT (open source intelligence - there’s even a sub here on Reddit). Create a fake Facebook account and friend them, find out their social plans, their vacations, etc. Let your imagination go wild.

Tell them to put the word out for you. All you need is one customer, do a good job, and they'll love that you're only 13 and do your PR for you. Dog walking is huge, especially in the winter when it's chilly, no one wants to go out and pick up poop. \n* Recycling: I think it's universal, but in California, if you take bottles & cans to locations, you can get paid for them. This entirely passive, just have your family keep bottles and cans in a separate bag. I'd also make money from sports practices. Those things are a wealth of gatorade and water bottles. Collect them. It's only 5 cents a bottle, but if you do it consistently, it doesn't take much effort, and the money rolls in.\n* Freelance write: If you're a good writer, look to freelance. Personally, I like to use a site called [textbroker](https://textbroker.com/). If not writing, something like photoshop. If you're talented, the internet doesn't quite care how old you are. \n* Flip items on craigslist: I used to use my dad's help, and I still do it, though not as often. My parents would even give me old junk they weren't using to sell on CL too. A good sale could net up to $200. Just make sure to have your mom or dad with you for all transactions.\n\nEven if you can't legally work (16 in most states), you can make money. Adults just eat up a 13 year old who wants to earn money. Take advantage of your age, doubly so if you're not ugly.

Else threaten to scratch their cars. Work best at touristy area.\n\n**Medium**: loiter around parking lot. When cars are backing from their lot, go and hit their car. Threaten to claim their insurance, or they could pay you a small amount of medical fee. Work best with young female\n\n**Hard**: loiter around parking lot with luxury cars that are difficult to get any parking. When they found one, go and stand on the parking lot and said you had paid $10 to park at the slot, ask them to pick other spot. Some rich swag might throw you a $20 to ask you to go away. Work best at clubbing areas.\n\n**Pro**: loiter around parking lot, carrying cheap china vase ($1-$10). walk behind some car hoping them scrape you which cause you to break your vase.

That person uses the money to buy the crypto from you then transfers it to the 3rd party.\n\n>After a while (usually dependant on what payment method the 3rd party is using) the 3rd party cancels / contests the payments or the bank for the person you were dealing with realizes the payments are phoney.\n\n>As the recipient of money associated with fraud your account would be locked down, during the investigation they're going to try to determine how much of the money in your account was actually yours and gained legitimately. In the future this is where you need to lawyer up, you need someone on your side to help you navigate the legal issues, without help the bank will take everything they can (as you experienced). \n\n>Lastly you couldn't / didn't prove what money was legitimately yours, so they took all of it.

The maid suggested he was mistaken and he went on his way.\n\n>A few moments later another sweep arrived with the same story, then another until the exasperated maid had sent away 12 in total.

Next came coal carts, each claiming they had a large order for number 54, something Mrs Tottenham, the owner, assured them she had not requested.\n\n>Hot on their heels came the cake makers, each carrying 10-guinea wedding cakes. Then doctors began calling and in their wake came apothecaries, surgeons and lawyers, followed by vicars and priests to minister to the resident within who, they had been told, was dying. Outside, a group of rather bemused undertakers waited with bespoke coffins.\n\n>By now the streets were becoming congested, not helped by the arrival of fishmongers, bootmakers, shoemakers, haberdashers, hatmakers, butchers’ boys and a queue of pianos. News travelled and the Governor of the Bank of England, the Lord Mayor of London, the chairman of the East India Company and even the Duke of Gloucester arrived to gawk.\n\n>Opposite number 54 Berners Street stood Samuel Beazley, who an astute observer might have noticed handing his friend Theodore Edward Hook a guinea. Hook had undoubtedly won his bet: that, within a week, he could transform any house in London into the most talked-about in the city. To win, he sent out 4,000 orders or requests, to tradesmen, professionals and dignitaries, requiring them to present themselves at Mrs Tottenham’s.

Probably you should stay anonymous, smiling and friendly outside your activities\n4. Make things revertable (for future tenants), don't cause troubles to other neighbors.

Record yourself. Make sure there is no “tell”. Just walk walk walk slip! Boom! \n\nDid I mention to use pillows or other cushions during this self training on acting and stunt work? Ok add those. Because learning to fall on purpose is going to take a lot of practice. \n\nAfter about 3000 falls you’ll have mastered the “it looks real part”. Now you’ll need to master the “don’t hurt yourself too bad part”. This will be where we remove the padding. \n\nYou now take your Oscar worthy slip and fall act and add to it a magicians act where when falling on a hard surface you walk away without any injuries above minor bruising. The key to safe falling as we all learned in jump school is… wait. You didn’t go to jump school? Fuck. \n\nOk so let’s go to jump school. We don’t have money so there is only 1 way to get free jump school. You’re gonna have to join the army. Make sure you get in writing that you are getting airborne jump school from your recruiter. It needs to be written into the contract. Make sure you meet the physical and mental requirements as well so they can’t deny you based on these things. From boot camp day 1 to jump school shouldn’t take more than 1-1.5 years. \n\nOk once you have gone to jump school and mastered the how to fall without getting hurt techniques, you’ll need to add this theory and apply it to your fall act. Your first sort of debut will be on base. This will be your first public performance so don’t screw this up. You’re gonna need a medical discharge and a finding of disabled. So you’re also going to need to learn to act the injury. Your injury is gonna be vague and untestable nerve pain in the location of the fall. This will keep you on light to no duty until your medical discharge happens. They have spent about 500k training you this far so they are gonna keep you around for about a year before processing your discharge and disability rating. \n\nOk it’s been 3 years and you are now a world class slip and fall actor. And a disabled vet. This is sort of a bonus as it will increase the value of your fall. \n\nNow you want to pick your target. A well surveilled piece of hard flooring that is owned or leased by a very wealthy company that settles fast. You can almost\nAlways get 10k. So if your act is good. You’ll be making 10k at will until you run out of rich companies or people. \n\nTotal time 4 years. Earning potential after that 4 years of intense slip and fall training: 300k. Maybe. \n\nBut you’ll have a 3rd career. (Army, scam artists, stunt man) stunt man. You are now on a level that will be in high demand. Your benefit to directors is that you are cheaper than CGI. But you’ll make 70-100k a year this way. \n\nI should note that you should be cogent that no matter how good you are at your slip fall routine there will be the occasional error where you really hurt yourself. Thank god you get disability pension from the army. It won’t pay much but it will keep you fed. \n\nAs you get older these falls will have taken their toll. So you’re gonna need a 4th career. Trainer. Now you train wanna be stunt folk on how to slip snd fall realistically. As you talk these new folks thru it you’ll be appreciated for your artistry and peak slip and fall knowledge. \n\nThen the companies you sued will start to notice. And eventually the army. \n\nThe companies may sue you for fraud. And the army may decide to bring you back in just so they can court martial you for fraud. \n\nDon’t worry. You read this and expected this. It’s all part of your plan. While you were doing all of this you began setting up a network of suppliers to smuggle goods into military stockades and federal prisons.

According to a Marshall I talked to, it’s caused many people to pay thousands of dollars and according to an article I read, it caused another person to commit suicide. Here’s what happened:\n\nBasically I was texted by a random girl who was very flirtatious. Naturally, I cautiously flirted back. Then after chatting for a while. she sent me some suggestive photos. I was like “cool”. Then a few days later, I got a voicemail from an alleged US Marshall saying that they were contacted by the parents of an underage girl. They apparently “caught” her sending lewd photos to my phone, she’s underage, and now I’m in possession of child porn. They were going to press charges and basically ruin my life. \n\nNow I’m fairly savvy when it comes to scams and cat fishing.. but when I first heard that voicemail from a US Marshall... FUCK. Nothing in my brain worked right. I was freaking out. I called the guy back and he had the info to the local Marshall’s office, had a badge number, knew the address of the local Marshall’s office, etc. so for about 24 hours I was freaking the fuck out. Eventually, after a few conversations with the “Marshall” and the “parents” of the girl, I found some serious inconsistencies. The photo of the girl was white while the parents in the phone were obviously black. The Marshall’s never answered, only called back and didn’t sound very professional. Then a couple days later the parents asked for money to drop the lawsuit and that’s when I knew.\n\nHowever, there were some things that made me believe them. They had a lot of my personal info. They knew the phone number and address of the local office, they had badge numbers. They also didn’t ask for money right away, the mom said she needed to talk to the dad before determining the next steps.\n\nIf you’re smart about this, and if you move more slowly and have more info about him and never ask for money, you could have this guy freaking the FUCK out. Contacting lawyers, paying fees. Telling his loved ones how he fucked up. \n\nThis may take a bit of planning and you might have to (ew) get flirty with him. Or have someone else do it. If you or they can get photos of him too, even better. Imagine having embarrassing, lewd photos of this douchebag.

Nothing online shows that, you have to put in for a call back from the dispatch center to figure that out.\n\nMaybe there's a similar issue for you?

But a few things may help.\n\nStart the conversation with customer service by **politely** saying \"I'm legally required to inform you that I record all my calls\". Will usually get you straight to a manager without leaving a bad impression, and if it doesn't it still makes them a little more ready to help. It also helps to actually record the call, that way you can post it on social media and \"tag\" them if needed. \n\nCall back as soon as you get the notification and tell them you were waiting in the driveway this time and didn't even see the truck pass by.\n\nContact the seller and let them know the issues you're having, assuming it's a major retailer, they have much more sway than you do to get something done.\n\nSkip the working from home part with the CSR, claim you took the day off specifically to wait for the package. \n\nAnd one of the biggest tips is remain polite, remember it's the driver, not the representative you're talking to who's at fault. If you catch yourself getting heated simply saying something like \"I'm sorry, I know it's not your fault, I'm just upset because this is costing me a lot of money and time.\" can go a long way toward making them feel like they want to help you. Avoid accusatory language like \"you\" or \"your company/driver\", you want this person to be on your side and be more mad at the driver than you are.

It’s hard to do much from your end, because you are the recipient, and anyone can call and claim to be that. If you have a registered ups account, you can request the delivery method be changed, like a different address. Otherwise you can call the sender and ask them to do the same.

Most delivery companies will only attempt a delivery a certain amount of times before they do something like this. \n\nAlso here’s another tip for you. Maybe don’t set up an appointment before you have everything you need for that appointment. That part is your fault. Not theirs.", "There really isn’t anything you can do other than file a complaint.
