My old schools had multiple doors held open with magnets on a semi permanent basis, only closing when fires or if they get knocked shut by accident

Reply to LPT REQUEST How not to give up on things? by Magegi
This will sound crude but: Fuck Everyone Else! People have strong points and weak ones and nobody is perfect. Society values certain traits more at certain times throughout history.
There are very smart people who care more about money than they do about preserving our planet, just as an example. You think the CEO of ExonMobil thinks he is a cool smart guy? You bet he does and he is killing all of us, including his kids and grandkids. I don’t think he is very cool.
Go your own pace, smell the flowers, enjoy what makes you happy and fuck everyone else.

I heard PASS but never RACE. I have however heard of tactics similar to RACE but never that acronym though. Ie the sign next to some fire alarms that say Sound alarm, close doors, leave building, call fire, do not re enter unless the fire dept says so, etc

And baking soda neutralizes vinegar, use either or not both.
Together you just made fancy salt water. Does nothing but leave a film from salt.

Don’t set time frames for your goals, you will get there when you get there, just keep practicing, just set the time to practice or work on it. I find that if I set a time frame for learning something I f I don’t make it in time I give up where if the goal is just getting there I don’t, I just keep pointing myself in the right direction and working on it and get there eventually.

Keep in mind, this advice applies when fighting a fire using water. you should aim above the fire and work down, the reason why is so that you minimize the chance of super heated steam coming back at you, water expands 12000x when it turns into vapour, and steam injuries burn you twice, once when the steam hits, and once when it cools into boiling water, it can also go through clothes.

Motion before emotion. Thinking too hard about it makes doing something really hard. If a chore or something comes to your mind, do it asap. And if you can't do it immediately or have multiple things:
To-do lists for the day: write down what you want to do today make this list as small and short as possible. Besides, ticking off things makes happy chemicals.
I am therefore I do. For example: "I am a pianist therefore I practice the piano every day." or "I am a fit person therefore I work out regularily." This especially helps in the beginner phase where you're still thinking you're just a person who happened to do that thing.

Agree. By the above logic of the bubbling action OP would be just as well off using carbonated water, instead of going through the effort of essentially producing the same thing.

Came here to say this. Your school's law librarians literally live for this shit, and will show you all kinds of resources you never knew existed.
Source: spent 14 years as a law school librarian.

Why on earth would you want the smell of vinegar instead of coffee?

Reply to comment by lamelumi_ in LPT Request: What do I do/say when someone is venting to me? by lamelumi_
If they’re just venting, let them. Most likely they just need to get it off their chest, plus the feeling of being heard/listened to is very validating in a lot of circumstances.
My best friend and I will usually give a heads up (like, is it okay if I vent for a bit? Type thing) and we just, listen. At the end we usually go “that really sucks, I’m sorry it happened to you” or we often agree “yeah I’d be frustrated too, he/she/they sound like they’re a real peach”. If it’s someone I care about venting, I mainly just make sure they’re feeling that they’re being heard, even if I can’t help.
I try not to offer advice or talk about my own experiences unless asked.
