Reply to comment by dilligaf6304 in LPT: If you're needing to verify the accuracy of your scale and can't find a nickel close by, just use two pennies, they weigh 5 grams just the same. by KnownEmergency00
God damn, I really CAN'T contribute, interject, or otherwise be a part of ANY FUCKING THING one would consider "normal" without getting flamed, questioned, criticized, or spit on, can I?? And we wonder why there's mass shootings in this country every other day. Maybe it's because you're all assholes that drain the life out of anything meaningful and are content with just watching it all burn

I actually....I don't think I knew that. Interesting. They don't feel any heavier or lighter than a nickel. Key word "feel"

The harm is wasting people's time having to scroll past it and also diluting the sub with basic shit everyone knows so the real LPTs are buried.

This actually isn‘t philosophical advice, but psychological one. As a teacher i use this concept and it definitely helps alot. Instead of saying „good job“ you take one or two specific things and compliment them. This is actual valuable feedback which will help people of all ages understand what exactly they did well. The same obviously goes for criticism, if you are specific people can actually learn. They will appreciate it.
I do agree it‘s „basic“, but many people don‘t know this so i don‘t see any harm in sharing it here.

That's part of it, but it also needs to be something clever that you normally wouldn't think of naturally. Philosophical advice doesn't fall into that category in my book. And, on the rare occasion that it might, it wouldn't be some basic ass advice like "be nice to others".

What‘s your definition of an LPT? To me it just needs to be a tip that can be valuable for my life in some way.

That's not a LPT.

If you are a better friend to people they will make an effort to be better friends to you or be less likely to abandon you in the long run. Being a pleasant human does benefit you.

Since when did Americans use the metric system to weigh things?

Shame there's not a sanity tag.

Another LPT that benefits me in no way and only helps others feel better. Not a LPT, my dude.

As a sidenote, if you want to offer constructive criticism also, it goes down better if you start with what you liked and THEN move on to the critique :)

NPR sends me an email every weekday morning with headlines. I can stay up to date, read more articles that I care about, and it's so simple.

Real news is news. Drama news is different.
