Reply to comment by SeveranceZero in LPT: Do not have the mindset the you are going to "save money" by quitting alcohol AND getting healthy. by [deleted]
Yep, this is called “transference” and is very common with alcoholics and other addictions. Many addicts switch from alcohol/drugs to health/exercise and, of course, take it to the extreme.

Hey OP! “Getting healthy” is not the same as spending money. What you are describing is a luxury lifestyle. Just thought you should know!

The names are a bit confusing, but a tax return is what you send to the IRS. A tax refund is what money you may receive.

Reply to LPT: You can quickly get to the important part of most online recipes by doing Ctrl + F and looking for "tsp" or "Tbsp." by kdods22402
Just use the Recipe Filter extension (in Chrome). Pops the actual recipe up as soon as you hit the page.

Don't try to be interesting, try to be interested in them. Focus on asking good questions instead of telling good stories.

Ok, that's better than leaving them connected and receiving power when not in use.

Reply to comment by JADW27 in LPT: Do your taxes for free (if you make $73,000 or less) on the IRS website by ifartmorethanhim
The companies like TurboTax lobby against it and are supposedly actually for having more complicated tax laws so people need to rely on their services.
I read about it a few years ago so the details are foggy.

Does edging for an hour count? Asking for a friend.

Reply to LPT: If someone asks for help, never ask why they didn't say anything earlier. Rather, be glad they didn't ask later. by chuuniversal_studios
I still remember to this day in first grade I had waited to ask a question I desperately needed answered in order to even start this basic math quiz. My tongue felt hot and I was becoming uncomfortably hot and panicky and then some kid asked the question I had. The teacher responded as if they weren't there for this very reason, and had never heard such a thing in their entire life.
I remember it so vividly due to the amount of relief I experienced after all the dread I felt for having the question answered and not having been the one who asked and have my worst fear realized by the teacher's unprofessional response.

Reply to comment by 9dnguy in LPT Request: What is the pro tip that helped you to keep yourself extremely focused and disciplined towards your short and long term goals , instead of getting distracted from it? by permission777
They were making a joke playing off imposter syndrome. The best way to explain it is through example: let’s say I’m a successful CEO but I still look in the mirror and see my teenage self that made lots of mistakes and I think everyone else sees me the same way. So even though I AM a CEO factually and I do my job well enough to have it, I feel like an imposter because I feel too stupid to have it, unworthy, etc.
I think almost everyone has some form of imposter syndrome especially when people around you don’t treat you the way that you should be (like a mother over babying their adult child or something)

I think you're missing the point as nowhere does it state that this is an activity for only those that are out of shape or for people who don't exercise.

Reply to LPT Request: How can I actually grow taller? by korggyy
Nutrition and healthy living is the best way to get to your full potential height. I've always heard coffee and cigarettes will stunt your growth, but I think that was something they told us when we were kids so we didn't steal cigarettes and chug soda all day.
Overall though you'll probably just need to accept that you'll be around 5'5 unless you haven't hit puberty or something like that. After high school a lot of the focused teasing will slow down. You'll still get the occasional jerk, but you need to realize they'll find anything to be a jerk about, and it's best to just avoid those people.

Yeah my tax situation isn't complicated since they made it much more difficult to itemize. Businesses and unusual (or complicated) investment strategies can add layers of complexity. I'm married to a CPA, but I still do our taxes.

You can do so, if your only goal is a different IP geolocation and you don't care about your data. But yeah, I wouldn't recommend it
