Reply to LPT: Beware of imposter productivity, which is when you procrastinate by doing something seemingly productive by ftfrftfr
I do this all the time and sometimes my best ideas come from procrastinating other things

Exact same applies at work when a superior is being disrespectful or talking down to you or someone else. Stand up to them. Don’t accept that shit. Ever.

Have you seen the US relationship between schools and guns?

My grandma's advice on dealing with bullying was always "hit them so hard they'll remember not to mess with you again". Glad I didn't take it seriously.
But if you ever do, catch them alone and catch them off guard. With no people to witness whatever happens they are much more likely to give up.

I know what you mean. Some idiot got aggressive and tried to intimidate me at the grocery store two weeks ago. He was a bit taller but definitely much more muscular. I knocked him out and laid him out cold as I walked away. I had a lot of witness and they all saw how cool and calm I was until he wouldn't leave me alone. We were waiting in a long line to pay. It started with him following me through the store because I supposedly got in his way and he didn't like the tone of "Excuse me" to grab something in front of him. He felt it was done with attitude. I saw him at the same grocery store yesterday and he couldn't look at me. He actually sped up and pretended to not see me despite making eye contact. 😂. I gave him two warnings and asked him to leave me alone. The third time he got in my face and I had to do a hard reset to reboot! He seems pretty humble now.

I have been using them for many years, and have never had an issue. I e-file for my state taxes through the comptroller portal, so my taxes do not cost me anything. I like that all my prior year info ports into the new year, which is such a time saver!
US taxes are so complicated and stupid.

This is great advice if the bully you're dealing with is not a psychopath, a narcissist, a sociopath, or totally unhinged. Problem is that you sometimes only find out the hard way.

Do you mean bullies like in the workplace or in high school? Cause some of the high schools near me had bullies that were in literal gangs and I was not gonna get stabbed trying to get back a stolen $10 bill 😬

Remember this for the workplace. Coworkers, bosses who learned bullying as children continue to use that because it works. Checking them is important to avoiding their toxic.

I'm assuming shaving my daily 5 o' clock shadow over the sink is ok since these a micro hairs?

Good LPT that's lost on this generation.
Also, learn to fight and/or get stronger to defend yourself. This was what was taught to us when we were kids.
At one point in time this was the path to go, but it seems not anymore. It's a bizarre world.

You only think they don’t do anything because you never spoke up. Tell them, tell the principal. Schools do not need the law suit from a kid being bullied. I assure you they’ll step in.
Edit: On the chance you’re getting bullied and you spoke up without help, go to your principal and say you’re being bullied and you don’t feel safe. Make sure you emphasize you don’t feel safe. Maybe you have a crap teacher and if so I’m sorry. But the principal should know not to play games with a kid feeling unsafe. It’s hard, trust me I was picked on and it was at a time teachers legit didn’t care. But you gotta be your own advocate. Alternatively tell your parents and let them complain to the school.

Unless they are on meth, pcp, or bath salts. Then stay the fuck away.

So i see you went to a home school.
Teachers don't do shit, and the zero tolerance policy means that you get in trouble too for being a victim.

Punch back. As someone who grew up as a small kid with ADHD, I learned that lesson pretty quickly. Bullies like easy targets. If you show them that messing with you comes at a cost, they'll move on to someone else. Do it as many times as it takes, although it usually ends after the first time. The alternative is not standing up for yourself and allowing them to torment you forever.
