Reply to LPT: Let yourself be photographed at special events, family gatherings and by friends in general, even if you don't like your picture taken for any reason. by [deleted]
I’m learning this now, my girlfriend wasn’t big on pictures and neither was I, but when she passed in September I wish I would have taken more. The few I have just don’t seem like enough, take the pictures friends.

I do this and then an hour later before bed while setting up the coffee makes pop a handful of M&Ms in my mouth.

Why would people like their picture taken? What I see of myself in the mirror every morning is more than enough
And that's without considering that my reflection looks better than I do unflipped

LPT for those who don’t like photos b/c of family members who post unflattering candid photos you don’t want on social media:
I made a rule for holidays/gatherings and communicated it with the offending parties who don’t filter their photos before posting. My rule is this:
I’ll take photos, but I ask that I’m TOLD ABOUT IT PRIOR and don’t get surprised by a camera in my face and ugly candid photos of myself on my social media.
That’s been a good compromise for everyone.

You sure kicked a little hornet's nest of people who don't know you, aggressively shaming you to appear in photos they'll never see, taken by people they don't know.

Reply to comment by RallyX26 in LPT: If you live in an apartment, don't just change your locks. Find a locksmith that can sell you a "key control" lockset. This means that only authorized people can make copies. Apartments will make multiple copies of your keys if they can. by [deleted]
Right so the LPT would be: learn who your tenancy authority is and learn the tenancy laws. Report landlords for not following them
You don't just go change the locks. For most people that would result in eviction

Reply to LPT: Label the inside of switch plates and outlet covers with their breaker number by AdmiralBofa
Speaking as a homeowner with old, jacked-up electrical, this is a solid idea.
Even renters should do this.

A family member exclusively does collaborative art. Every time I pointed out a detail I enjoyed it was that completed by their collaborator. After that I just fell back on “That looks good/cool” to stop putting my foot in my mouth.

Huge waste of time.

Because this was 8 years ago and I didn't know about tenancy authorities

A Ziploc sandwich baggie filled with hot water works wonders. Deice the whole car in no time flat.

This is a win win: that person doesn’t achieve fame/infamy and you don’t feed into the outrage machine the news has turned into. This is also a pretty politically neutral piece of advice. Good job OP.

I know, right? I mean, it just takes soooo long to put a paperclip on something. Ain't nobody got time for that!
