Reply to comment by Silly_name_1701 in LPT: Deactivate Facebook and make a real effort to avoid social media in general and evaluate how to honestly feel in 3 days. by Ann_not_a_cult_er

Yeah exactly what I'm saying. I deleted it once too and didn't realize until later how many people I lost contact with and couldn't find anywhere else, especially in my region where fb is the most used social media ever since it came out.

Reply to LPT: Befriend a cop by carlosnobigdeal

We all laugh at the DA/Mayor/Chief that thinks they shouldn't be burdened by the law. You are that person.

Do befriend a cop. They are humans that need positive influences in their life. Don't ask your cop friend to get you out of the consequences of committing a crime!

I'm not a cop, but do have a couple in the family. If I'm being abused by the police, I'm calling in a favor. If I fucked up and got pulled over for speeding, I'll call them after to tell them whether John or Jane Cop was a jerk or cool about it.

This is disgusting and pathetic.

"Befriend someone for your personal gain!" "Use someone else's name to avoid consequences for your own actions!"

I hope you stub both of your little toes in the dark and the lid on your analgesic won't come off.

Reply to LPT: Since April 1st is coming up. A good tip to live by is that everyone should be able to laugh at your prank at the end. If everyone ends up laughing at the person getting pranked, and they are just the punchline, chances are you're just being a jerk. Don't be a jerk. by moosepooo

Remember: never promise something good and then take it away. Promise something bad and then take that away. Example: “you won the lottery! April fools!” is bad, “you’re being sued, April fools” is also bad, but nowhere near as bad as giving someone false hope for a moment then ripping it away from them.

Reply to LPT Request: Anyone have any advice for dealing with lower back pain? by apeprom123

When you have bad posture or not properly developed muscles, your joints and skeletal system have to take the stress of your body which creates some serious pain. Being inactive and/or in the same position for a long time is not good for you.

Lumbar pillow for sleeping, stretching, proper workout routine is essential for you to be pain free.

Please seek medical help for pain that lasts more than a few days or directly affecting normal daily life.

Reply to comment by SpectreGadget in LPT Request: How to deal mentally with nightly noise during the summer months by Bart-MS

This, if fan buzzing doesn't disrupt your sleep. Has to be the old style box fan, newer fans are quiet. You can use in your window since you want to avoid AC. There are some versions with a slight cooling feature.

Dehumidifiers also emit the same sound. If all else fails, ask a friend if you can sleep over some weekends in summer.
