I completely agree. I also think there should be a warning on it for those who have lost loved ones to overdose. This movie is just... disturbing in general.

Reply to LPT Request - Offering Rides To Strangers by [deleted]
Overthinking
Dont automatically assume ahe's waiting for a bus and would love a ride. She may be waiting for her boyfriend, parents, uber, drug dealer or something else
She or a friend may have have experienced a kidnapping, sexual assault, robbery, or something else one time they accepted a ride from a stranger
She may just not be trusting of strangers who offer rides.
Dont automatically assume it has to do with you when someone turns down a ride

Flossing is better so do that first then brush afterwards. You dont want crud in the tweeners.

Reply to comment by blindparasaurolophus in LPT: If you live alone, learn how to perform the Heimlich maneuver on yourself. It can be done with the help of a countertop or a chair. by F0lks_
I almost choked to death eating tough fajita meat. I know nothing of Heimlich maneuver but started pounding the crap out of my chest and it finally dislodged. I wish I knew about this stuff sooner. now I get anxiety eating meat and am terrified when my toddler eats since she has chewing issues. Even though I’m alive I feel that experience has permanently scarred me.

I got one of these and keep it in the kitchen. I felt I would be more successful at this than the self-Heimlich.

It's most likely designed with learning in mind. If you're getting a lot of wrong answers, maybe your brain needs a break. It also could be showing you shouldn't be advancing to the next stage.
When it comes to learning, your brain makes a lot of connections overnight. And if you overdo the learning, you won't remember a lot of it anyways. I've never had issues with not being able to proceed, but I also do two lessons over and over until I feel I understand it well enough to proceed since repition is a good way to establish the connections in your brain.

For long flights I usually take the seats in the back with easier access to the restroom. For shorter flights I like row 9, which is the first row to get drinks served.

The tag for my sheets are in the middle. The tag does say foot though

Reply to LPT: You don't need a car loan. Seriously. by dvlpr404
European guy here. I started with a $ 500,- car 25 years ago. And saved money to trade in for a bigger car every couple of years. Now I buy a $ 40.000,- car and never had a loan or pay interest. Worked for me!

For real? Is it’s creepiness just triggering or is it specifically about depression?

Brushing my teeth is one of my least favorite things to do even when I'm in a really good mood.

Keeping my answer short, you can only ever be responsible for the decisions you make and the actions you take.
If you have the ability and willingness to help someone out, I personally don't see why offering would ever be a bad idea.

Great tip. My parents had a new car every 4 years (2 - 1 each) and never paid them off. I’m disgusted to think what that cost their retirement but won’t be me.

A lot of people are talking about it on Twitter, I think it is going to get a warning.
