This is true! I also encounter a lot of sinks that are not my own though :)

Correct. I’m paying for delivery fees, and those fees should be sized to pay the drivers the lions share and a liveable wage. Fuck the middle man blood suckers.

Start punching back. Or find new friends, depends on what you're into.

No, you're in the wrong job.
If you're not being paid enough to do it without the generosity of others then then that's not on the others.

Reply to LPT Request: How to get rid of dandruff? by ImThour
You probably don’t have dandruff (go to a dermatologist to figure it out). Dandruff is caused my a combination of an oily scalp and a certain type of bacteria that interacts with the oils.
Dry scalp has the same side effects(ie skin flakes) There are a multitude of factors that can contribute: lack of hydration, general dry skin, showering habits, stress, allergies, climate, etc.
I also had a similar issue where oiling my hair didn’t work until I used scalp lotion after showering. The best thing is to oil your hair once or twice a week, then shower with a mild shampoo and use conditioner. Use the scalp lotion right after showering.
Search scalp lotion on Amazon. The brand for the one scalp lotion I use is called LivSo and has been working great for me.
I think the issue I was having was that my scalp was drying out really quick after a shower. I needed a lotion to rehydrate my scalp and not damp it down like hair oil would do.

Reply to comment by Devittraisedto2 in LPT to stay ‘active’ at work. Open excel, set a golfball on your down key. You’re set. by Salad_Fingerzz
I work in engineering IT, often there literally is no work.
I ask and ask, there will be something in 3 months or something but there are looong down periods. Or something will be blocked for 2+ months and our team doesn't have the political power to do anything about it (and it doesn't make financial sense for the company).
It's actually good staffing, I support it from a WLB perspective, kind of like firefighters... at the times you really need them you want to have enough people of the right caliber to be able to move on something quick.. but a side effect of it is long down periods.

Also appliances like fridges and freezers where dust gathers at the rear around the condenser coils need to be cleaned occasionally. Don’t forget to turn the appliance off before doing so. A quick vacuum cleaner job should be enough.

Most people way over soap their hair and scalp which dries it out. Yes, even with dandruff soap. I use Grace of Me 2% zinc shampoo 3-4 times a week. Give a day or two of no shampoo a week for the natural oils on your scalp to stabilize. I also use a silicone scalp massager a few times a week when I wash my hair.

Yeah, if I've paid for the food and delivery, or if the cost of delivery is included in the cost of the food, then why would I pay extra?
What "extra" is the delivery driver providing that I haven't already paid for? Do they come in and plate it up for me? Are they going to lay the table?
No, they're just doing what has been paid for.

That logic makes no sense, if all medics quit you wouldn't have a health care provider, do you tip them?

Shampoos and conditioners with Tea Tree Oil. I worked at a hair salon and that’s what stylists recommended. Combine it with cold showers. Fungus thrives in heat.

While true, it’s one of those things that you can’t control- your first instinct will be your first instinct.
It’s kind of like when people tell you you SHOULD hit the deer instead of veering away, but most people will instinctually veer around even though they know not to.

Phew! I like my salads cold!
But why would you take out your frustrations with past customers on future ones? That makes absolutely no sense.

Advice is trash, just don’t be a creep. If you misunderstand what you thought was a sign, apologize and move on. Also, no dick pics, like ever.

ghost them, pursue new hobbies and activities, go to new places, and develop healthy friendships with people who treat you well.
if you don't stop hanging with the people who are hurting you, then you're not showing yourself any love or respect.
of course if you think these people are capable of changing and they truly care about you then you should call them out and stand up for yourself.
no matter what, always focus on protecting yourself and standing up for yourself.
