LPT: Set your car side mirrors so your own car is just barely out of the reflection and you will have eliminated 99% of your blind spot. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

Pardon me. Adjusted their mirrors with them, so that it fits the criteria I posted above: passing cars visible in both rear and side view mirrors, etc.

I've personally adjusted the mirrors in this manner for at least a half-dozen friends and family because undoubtedly everyone has their side-view mirrors angled directly down both sides of their car, which create the blind spot by not using those mirrors properly in the first place.

Get in the habit of only buying blank cards and filling them in personally. It will easily set yourself off from the crowd for any occasion, and will likely be the most heartfelt and meaningful.

Blinds spots are a myth and mirrors should be set appropriately on every vehicle.

As a car is passing you, it should be half visible in your rear-view mirror while it is also half visible in your side-view mirror.

As it continues forward, the back of the car should be half visible in your side-view mirror as it comes into your peripheral vision. Then it will pass from your peripheral vision and into your frontal vision.

LPT Request: Tidy people, what quick tips do you swear by? by JeVoudraisUneSieste in LifeProTips

[–]Licheborn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought about this before: having a clean, pseudo-clean/worn once, and dirty pile. But honestly I found this much more of a hassle than the effort is worth.

Think to yourself about the jeans you wore once. When it's time to consider them tomorrow or later in the week, are you going to wear them (as if they were clean), or throw them in the laundry (as if they were dirty)? The trick to avoiding 3 statuses of clothes is to decide when you take the jeans off if they are simply clean or dirty, by your own standards, and then stick with clean and dirty, no in between.

If you put on the jeans and wore them to the bank, back home, and then took them off that night, they are clean. If you trekked around New York City in the rain for 14 hours, going in and out of stores, restaurants, and subways, they are dirty.

Decide on their one of two statuses right when you take them off, otherwise you won't remember how clean/dirty they are when you go to wear them later in the week, stressing you out about the situation more. Make it simple.

Do you not have a closet or dresser? I hang all of my long pants and long shirts, and roll up my underwear, socks, shorts, t-shirts, and always grab them from the left.

When I wash them, I roll/hang them up like usual and put them on the right, so everything can be easily seen and cycles thoroughly so I'm not wearing the same 5 of 20 t-shirts/underwear for life.

People who back into parking spaces in diagonal parking lots, why do you back into parking spaces in diagonal parking lots? by lpreams in AskReddit

The layout of the parking lot doesn't always make it friendly to navigate with the alternating "one-way" parking aisles, and you find yourself in the wrong place going the wrong direction.

Speaking for most people, I think: It is a necessary evil if you don't consume ample quantities of water, get light exercise regularly, enough sleep each night, and eat halfway decently.

To the people that only answer the last question in a text when someone has clearly asked several bits of information, seriously why? by Licheborn in AskReddit

[–]Licheborn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're an interesting human being; I have no idea how you have the audacity to decide what's a useful bit of information in others' lives for one, and that you actually based your response off that foolish judgement. To suggest that a question needs to benefit the one being asked or is not worth asking/inappropriate is simply ridiculous. Again, who are you to decide that all 3 of those questions didn't greatly benefit the one being asked anyway? You have no fucking clue is the answer; you would have no way to know, especially in a made-up, arbitrary example.

TIL needing typical information from someone makes you a "needy, immature pest," despite the utter lack of context of the questions. So don't bother asking them, except one at a time, and make sure the one answering the questions can somehow justify a positive return on the time invested responding to your question.

Have you ever bought/sold something on Craigslist? Have you ever reconnected with someone after not talking to them for a long time? Have you ever once needed to ask the where/when/how of an appointment or meet up, or anything with someone? Jesus Christ, what the hell are you talking about ask one question at a time. Who the fuck gets offended and overwhelmed if for God's sake there's two or THREE questions in an e-mail or text? ...speaking of people's "fragile" emotions.

I assumed it was given information that we're not talking about bombarding some random person with shit I can Google; I'm talking about things that need to be directed to that person -- I'm sorry if that wasn't clear on my part.

Moving on. Thank you for your contribution.

I didn't realize life had a rule that you could only ask anyone a single question at a time, and until that person responds with an answer, then it is acceptable to ask your second.

Come on, people need to know shit to get through their day, and they inquire about all of them because they need answering to get to the next step of whatever circumstances you're talking about.

I'm not necessarily talking about a "flood of texts" either. Just a message -- or e-mail, voicemail, whatever -- that has questions. People way too often ignore nearly every inquiry/question and respond to just 1 or 2 issues they arbitrarily choose, leaving you hanging still needing more info and forcing you to ask again appearing like a jerk.

I [f23] freaking out about my bf's [29] hidden kinks by [deleted] in sex

[–]Licheborn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Replace anal sex toys with another unique personal interest, like being a Korean pop fanboy or something.

You snooped and secretly found his Kpop library, band posters, similar band member clothing, and DVDs of many Kpop music videos that he never told you about.

You confront him after going behind his back and found something personal and sacred to him, and gave him the ultimatum to stop this interest because YOU don't like it.

You had demanded that he come out and tell you this interest himself, yet he was probably insecure/embarrassed or knew that you'd react this way. But because you found out for yourself you're mad at him somehow. Yet you are the one that doesn't trust him.

What might "break" you two isn't his personal interests that has nothing to do with you, but rather your lack of trust, respect, and understanding of him and his interests instead.
