Just do 90 day rule
Listen I hate to say this but it's a reality somebody has to hear I'm pretty filthy rich and I can buy anything and it has put me into a situation where just like the Clutter that we are talking about it is essentially what happens to most of the things I buy. So I enacted a 90-day Rule and it is very simple if I want something on that day is the first day if I want it 90 days later then and only then am I given the option to actually purchase it. This really sorts things out quite a bit because honestly by the time 90 days is gone usually I have moved on to something else or at the very least I really truly wanted it and couldn't wait till those 90 days had passed to grab it it just sorts things out very quickly without you having to have too much personal biased opinion against it.

But in my region, Facebook is essential for school, work, and contact with family.

I don’t even interact on there and it makes me feel better to avoid it

Reply to comment by Anon293357 in LPT: Give Maximum Effort at Work - Even if it's not Appreciated by chuckdooley
I actually really appreciate this post because I totally understand the feeling.
I feel it to my core, and I’ve gone through a lot of my career thinking that.
I finally started applying myself at jobs that I didn’t believe deserved me, one of them actually fired me…I don’t care because I learned their accounting system, gave them improvements, and then I used that experience in my next job
I still flip their office the bird when I drive by….but I’m grateful for them because they taught me where I didn’t want to be.
This isn’t about bettering the company, per se, sure they might benefit from your increased skill set, but you can plan to leave any time….doesn’t mean you’ll get the job immediately, but the greater “lesson” if there was one….better yourself while you’re stuck there
I don’t care if you’re cleaning toilets at Wendy’s, not that there’s anything wrong with that, if that’s what you want to do….but you’re not limited to improving your role, you probably see things that management doesn’t, tell them!
This screams self help, I know, and I hate that I sound like this, but I really believe it

Done this for Facebook for over a year, amazing to have the freedom back!

Reply to LPT: After a good haircut, take a photo of your hair to show to the barber next time you go, it makes life much easier for them and for you. This especially helps if you're going to a new barber for the first time. by bongingnaut
A medium fade is not a hard haircut to do well. When I ask for one and they do me dirty, then I find a different barber. That said I see your point for people who have more specific cuts or more unique hair they're trying to keep on their heads.

Reply to LPT: Take your adopted animals from shelters straight to a vet as soon as possible. by bcurtiswx
One caveat is to make sure you have vaccination and deworming records from where you adopt. When we rescued our cat and took him to the vet they immediately dewormed him "just in case" and it basically ruined his gut bacteria and he has lifelong digestive issues since then after being perfectly fine at the shelter.

Anything and everything can be bad. It is up to the individual how they act and how they consume whatever it is that they consume.

Notice how they don't answer those types of questions....kind of suspicious.

Reply to comment by SeaSnorkeler in LPT: When parking somewhere unfamiliar, open Google Maps and start a walking route to your destination. Screenshot it to remember how to get back to where you parked later. by BatmansNygma
It’s a setting in Apple Maps. I think it’s on by default. If you disconnect from your car’s Bluetooth (when you turn the car off), when you’re ready to go back to your car, you can open Apple Maps and it will offer you walking directions to your car.

Ha, I'm not advocating stealing, if that's what you mean. I'll add that to my post to make sure it's clear.
I'm just saying different trainings are available, software that you wouldn't otherwise have access to where you could learn to be an expert or at least more than a novice....things like that
Again, not advocating theft

Explaining the sleep on it or walk away method to a car salesman is hilarious.
"So I can tell you really want the car."
"Yeah I do!"
"Ok so let's go fill out some paper work."
"Not so fast, I have to sleep on it."
