This is such a great answer. I have deep respect for your self-awareness and insight. The road you travelled was worth it.

No. Sometimes it's not ok. Especially if it ended in trauma. Life isn't a 90's rom com. Most of the time you need to let it go. Especially if you are a male contacting a female. Please don't call people you haven't talked to in a decade out of the blue.

My ex did that years ago. I broke up with her over it because it was just too much. She kept it up for like an entire date.
Ended up getting back together and married, kids and then divorced over some other narc shit she did.

Reply to comment by FutureTeam7693 in LPT: If you click "restart" by accident instead of "shut down" you can click "ESC" and it'll bring you back to the desktop stopping the restart. by Xanoks
This isn't a pro tip. It's a tip to set your machine to bad state.

You shouldn't cancel a restart because your system will be half dead with missing subsystems. What you must be doing is restarting regularly

Reply to comment by Kirahei in LPT: After a good haircut, take a photo of your hair to show to the barber next time you go, it makes life much easier for them and for you. This especially helps if you're going to a new barber for the first time. by bongingnaut
Usually fades are pretty standardised and are just dependant on how good the barber is, but scissor work is where it gets complicated

Reply to LPT: when ordering on Amazon, if given the option, always select "subscription" for sizable discount. by SerenityNowWow
The subscription is not easy to cancel. It’s buried deep in there. Definitely hunting around around awhile canceling my father’s. They might have changed it in the last year for transparency sake, though because I haven’t done it recently

And then they do whatever they want anyways and I look awful. But I still give them the “oh yeah that’s perfect that yeah, thanks “

Apologies if this was brash

LPT don’t be a giant dickhead and order from any restaurant minutes before closing. What is wrong with you.

There is no way in hell I can do this. My ego/pride would never let me. Yes it’s my fault

The wings are prepared ahead of time. The only thing the workers do is season them and put them in a container. It's the stigma that workers will hate you that leaves opportunities like these for the brave.

There is also an 80% chance of getting spit in your food with ordering so close to closing. This is not a LPT.

On April Fools' Day, I ask out my crush. If they say "no," I say "April Fools!" If they say, "Sure," I'm going to get myself married by the end of the year!

Worked at a wing joint, can confirm. We always made so much boneless towards the end of the night.

Unless you want the people making your food to hate you, do not order from a restaurant last minute.

And Sunday, if you live in the future.
Every year I forget about this and wonder why there's so much dumb stuff on the internet on the 2nd.

Reply to LPT: if you are dating someone and you want to find out if they are trust worthy have them order DoorDash or Uber as a hand to me order. If they have to sign or provide a pin they aren’t trust worthy. by [deleted]
What!? Thats why you are single OP. The worst tip 😂

This is actually not bad advice.
The other benefit of being able to cook is that you're able to cook. It's a very handy skill to have, one that can be used to impress and charm your friends, romantic interests, colleagues, family, etc.
It's well known in my social circle that my partner and I can cook extremely well and we use that to host dinner parties and keep our friends amused. If you feed people well, they tend to like you more.
