Reply to comment by LuckyandBrownie in LPT: When debating or arguing with someone and it’s going nowhere, ask them, “What evidence would it take for you to consider that you’re wrong?” If they say “Nothing,” then it’s time to end the conversation. by blowfishmo
Okay, if it was shown to you that all the “evidence” supporting the idea that he exists was faked, would you accept that there was no reason to believe? How about the people involved in faking the evidence explaining to you how it was done. How about being shown the origins of the idea, that were clearly written as fiction? What if the entire us army devoted five years to searching every inch of Washington and Alaska, going so far as to burn down every tree and raze every building, and came up with nothing?
There is some reason or reasons you decided to believe in Bigfoot. If those reasons were shown to be invalid, would you accept that it is more reasonable to assume that there is not a giant hairy half-ape/half-man creature who has managed to avoid capture and whose existence can’t be anything close to “explained” by everything we know about the world?
If you know why you believe in something, or don’t believe in something, it’s not that hard to see what would change your mind. If you don’t know why, shouldn’t you figure it out?

Reply to comment by ncopland in LPT: If you're making a sandwich for your kids and only have the heel of the bread left, put the heels inside. The kids probably won't notice by motoperpetuoso
My dad always told me that the crust is the most nutritious part, so I had to eat it. Somehow I did not realise I had been duped until I started watching the Great British Baking Show as an adult. I was just walking around in my adult (childless) life thinking that crust is more nutritious than the rest of the bread.

Reply to LPT Request: Any idea how to separate a photo that is fused with the glass on its frame? by Dwestmor1007
Google has an app called Photoscan. It takes several pictures of a photo then stitches them together removing glare and compensates for the phone being at an angle.
It does a really good job of digitizing old photos. Take a few pictures of it with this app before you try anything.
It is available on Android and ios.

I like to think that I am always open to having my mind changed. But even if presented with clear evidence in opposition to my beliefs, it takes time to internalize that information, compare it against my existing knowledge and beliefs, consider the repercussions, and formulate a systematic plan for reevaluating my beliefs. I have done that a number of times in life. It takes much longer than a pause in conversation.
Now you expect me to go through that process instantly, and honestly, for a hypothetical question, from a person who is preparing to walk away from the discussion as we speak.
I was fully on board with the OP question when I first read it. Reading through the comments changed my mind. It is an unfair question.

>>>It’s hard to come up with evidence that would change your mind because if you knew it you would already have changed your mind.
I’m not sure I understand? Why would knowing what evidence would change your mind cause you to change your mind?
Do you go “I don’t think the lunch lady killed my boss, but it occurs to me that if I saw verified footage of the lunch lady holding a smoking gun, standing over my boss’s dead body, loudly proclaiming she’d killed him, along with a public confession, along with forensic evidence, I would be believe it… so now even though I’ve seen none of that, I’ve changed my mind and now think the lunch lady killed my boss!”?
I do not believe the moon is made of cheese. I am fully aware of what evidence would change my mind. I have not changed my mind because I have not seen that evidence. I do not believe in God. I know what would make me believe, and it hasn’t happened, so I don’t believe. Etc.

That’s a great idea— I’ll try it if I can find some!

That’s a fair point, but unfortunately I’m looking to wear (feminine) short shorts, so anything longer than them defeats the purpose, and anything shorter won’t help. Thanks though!

Tommy John boxer briefs or LuLu Lemon or Vuori athletic shorts.

A very tall hairy person that lives in Washington and summers in Alaska joins the conversation. He regales you with tales of tourists trying to take his picture. Every time you look at him, he appears blurry.

Unless you are trolling.
There are people that like to use the ‘hold your breath’ and they will come around. There position is opinion and has little basis beyond that.
I like to ask for supporting documentation and watch them spin off to misunderstood documentation.
Like the White House Briefing on Loan Forgiveness vs the statistics of the people that are capable of repaying student loans are not based on the same information.

I learned this from a co-worker back before I had kids. The secret here is you tell the kids from a young age that the ends of the loaf of bread are lucky. They will be fighting for them. My son gets mad if he doesn't get the lucky piece. This will buy you time before you need to use the OP tip

You can buy a product specifically for this, chub rub cream. Sunscreen works if you are caught short but you have to re-apply frequently.

I had the same problem weighing 230lbs. I lost 20 and the problem went a way. I'm 5'11", but was overweight for my frame.

Here’s the issue with that, we live in the internet era, If you look hard enough you can find “evidence” for just about anything

Reply to comment by AtlasClone in LPT: Check in with your significant other’s if they seem to stop doing household chores by Smoky-Abyss
Exactly. Doesn’t have to mean their ready to break up with you, it could just be that they are overwhelmed with work, or having health problems, anxiety over money, not sleeping well, worrying about a family member, feeling depressed etc.
The real LPT is paying attention to your partner. If they seem off, like more tired, sore, cranky, more emotional, check in with them to see what you can do to help, even if it’s just being a shoulder to cry on or listening to them vent about situation out of everyone’s control.
That’s part of being a good partner.
