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
I’ve had exactly one haircut in my life that I loved. I took pictures of it. Went back to the salon when it was time to cut it again. The stylist who did it wasn’t there anymore. The new stylist fucked it up. Every stylist I’ve been to since has fucked it up. I finally just started telling them to cut it at shoulder length and call it a day. I really miss having that haircut though, it made me feel so pretty. As a rather unattractive woman that feeling is rare.

Reply to LPT: If a single friend of yours has said they don’t want children, don’t start asking them if they’ve changed their mind if/when they find a partner. by dubdoll
My daughter will be 37 this year. From the age of 16ish (babysitting age... she never did) she has said she doesn't like kids, doesn't ever want kids. And she never changed her mind. I got the point and never bugged her about it. But now I bug her about getting her tubes tied with all the weird abortion laws in this country.

All cars are either pre owned or new, saying that you’re looking for a pre owned/new car basically means you’re looking for any car. When buying any car get an accident history report and look for rust/damage on the frame.

For used cars, one that a lot of people don't think of is this one:
Find out if the engine has a timing belt or chain. If it's a belt, find out if it's been serviced yet since it can be an expensive maintenance item (sometimes it can even cost over $1000, depending on the car) and if not, when is it due to need it? Some people will sell their car right before it's due for the expensive maintenance tasks. You can at least use it as a negotiation point or factor it into your decision.
Most timing chains don't have a scheduled replacement interval, they're designed to last the lifetime of the engine though many get replaced when the guides start to fail.

Reply to LPT: Take your adopted animals from shelters straight to a vet as soon as possible. by bcurtiswx
The rescue I volunteer with requires adopters to visit their own vet within 10 days of adoption. We're lucky that we have a lot of resources to help our animals before they're placed but even so, it's a good idea to get a once over from a vet you're familiar with.

If its simplified its nice. I liked the guys that sat down and said "number 2 on the sides and finger length on top" or whatever variation of that

> I never once said I was self-made
When you say "I'm proof that it works", "it" being the work and choices you made, that's being self-made.
> I have taken advantage of the opportunities laid in front of me
Right. I'm saying you are privileged to have those opportunities. The person cleaning toilets at Wendy's (that was your example) doesn't have professional development opportunities like an accountant. Being the best toilet cleaner gets you more toilets to clean.
> Why would you try to discount the advice I’m giving?
Because it's a view of the world that only applies to a relatively privileged few, and seems insulting to those that are not. The person at Wendy's is far better off trying to attend night school or other education opportunities outside of work. Putting in maximum effort at Wendy's comes at a huge opportunity cost. You should be turning down those extra shifts to work on getting out of Wendy's. Taking advantage of professional development is great for those who have it available, but you tried to pretend this can apply to toilet cleaners.

I like the idea but it sounds a little passive aggressive. I’d word it more objectively by, summarizing the other sides objections and then ask what I can do to overcome them (instead of we).

Reply to LPT: Having something shipped to you and worried about it being stolen, send it to your local Post Office by Muttatwork
This is how my younger brother gets his drugs sent to him without my parents finding out. Honestly, I'm impressed he even knew about it...he's 17. The kids going places. Maybe even your kids soccer game to sell those drugs...be on the lookout.

I went 32 months and finally caved as I was visiting SF for work and walked by 'Golden Phoenix Hair Salon For Men & Women' and knew it was time for an impulse cut. Couldn't be happier with the results. Only $20 and I was the only person under 70 in the place. They also had one chair reserved for their cat.

I've started bringing an iPad with a Pinterest board. but ultimately since i just get a short/pixie/faux hawk type short style and main point being donating my hair, i dont fully care what happens anymore
Even started doing it for my tattoo artist shes been telling her clients to do the same.

I don't understand the relevance of black towels only, but it did make me laugh thinking about qualifying "you're so ugly..." jokes with completely nonsensical statements.
"Frank is so ugly, he can only have strawberries in his strawberry-banana smoothies."
"Shelby is so ugly, she has to look both ways twice before crossing the street."
