Reply to LPT: Don't get married just because you are afraid to die alone and want someone to take care of you when you're old. This only works if you die ahead of your spouse or your kids can put their own lives on hold to become eldercare for you. by zazzlekdazzle
The problem is,
I'm not afraid to die alone
I'm afraid to LIVE alone

Reply to LPT: Don't look at your clock when waking up during the night to increase your quality of sleep. It's a lot easier to fall back asleep when you don't keep track of the sleeping time you still have left. by migudude
This would make my sleep time hell. If I didn’t know how much more time I had, I’d go crazy waiting to hear my alarm.

I think that the visual light/input of your phone or a clock as being the main reason why not to.
What I find useful is to use an alexa and ask it for your time.

I'll be sure to keep this in mind whenever I masrurbate, thanks!

If I know I can’t afford it, I just turn up the music. No scraping sound, no problem.

What helps me is rationality, crying is a release of emotion. Is this emotion helping me in this situation, in most business situations its working against you, and why would you chose to work against yourself. It wont fix it overnight but focusing on whether sharing my emotions or being emotional in that moment is actually hurting whatever my goal may be, helped me to save it for more appropriate times, like feel good news stories or Christmas commercials : )

Reply to LPT Request: Why do pans in my house have black looking oil when I add pam to it when hot? by skateralex240
Buy some avocado oil it has a higher smoke point you can probably find it in a spray but a pastry brush can be used to coat a thin layer on a pan with a teaspoon or less of oil. You can get better value from a bottle ounce for ounce over an aresol can.
Just make sure it not plastic bristles on the pastry brush if the pan is hot silicone or boar bristles that don't melt.

This may have already been listed below. But I'd definitely recommend reusing bath towels. They're not really supposed to be single use. After you use it hang the towel up. Bacteria doesn't grow on dry things, so they won't smell if they get fully dried out after each use. You should get at least 2 uses out of a bath towel. I don't see anything wrong with getting 3 uses. As for your other clothes, underwear and undershirts should be washed after 1 use, but everything else can be worn again without washing. Same concept, hang them up after wearing them. That should cut your washing trips in half, at least

Its better to have the ability to process emotion then bottle it & one day snap & crash out or do something completely irrational.
Try & direct your emotions into pen & paper give journaling a shot. Allows you to free your mind & then look back & reflect on times when you thought this was the end all be all, how could my life get any worse or vice versa the best day ever, something that made you really happy. It’s nostalgic being able to reflect on that. I enjoy journalling right before bed helps put my mind at ease & fall asleep quickly

People that accomplish this goal of showing no emotion ever resemble mannequins. So the ideal that you're talking about, really, is the "plastic ideal". This ideal was championed and proliferated heavily in the '80s.
The result from pursuing it exacts a very dehumanizing toll: when people cannot read your emotions, those closest to you misinterpret what you're feeling on a consistent basis. Miscommunications flourish. It is like being deaf, only it's your emotions that do not respond.
Being sensitive, on the other hand, may embarrass you a little bit in public (or around shitty people). But when it comes to your most valuable relationships, among those whom you truly trust, being sensitive is a superpower that rewards you over and over.

Reply to comment by timmyboyoyo in LPT: When calculating something such as rent or pay, a month is 4.345 weeks by MikeTorsson
They get paid bi-weekly (once every 2 weeks) rather than semi-monthly (twice a month, usually the 15th and either the 1st or 31st), so occasionally the offset lines up and gives you three checks in a month (e.g. your payday falls on the 1st, second payday on the 15th, third on the 29th).

Reply to comment by Magic_mousie in LPT: That voice inside our head is not you. Those are just thoughts. You are your actions. Those thoughts are just from the processing center between your ears. by Potential_Meringue_6
Absolutely, what you decide to act on is what defines you. It's not uncommon to internalize the logic that was used to attack you or that stands against what you are. I think it's a kind of defense mechanism, and once you are self aware enough to notice it you no longer need it. Then you can work to let it go by not engaging and consciously breaking the pattern of those thoughts.

Or, you can use 4-1/3 weeks, which might make the math easier.
