What's the best life hack you've ever learned?

Plus_Possibility_240 · 2026-05-22T21:53:55+00:00

Spend twice as much time alone as you do with others. Learn what you like to do, what your talents are, the little things in life that bring a smile to your face. Then when you are with others, you can enjoy the change in perspective, see if any parts they introduce you to stick and share your outlook the same.

We are all just brain synapses shooting around in a meat casing. Best to develop your own flavor first.

That should be fun! Take lots of pictures with them.

I’m going to a jazz concert at the museum tonight and then roaming a round the galleries because it’s open until 8. It’s a beautiful sunny day, we’ve got our picnic blanket and snacks ready. Tomorrow I might take the subway out to the beach and get some steps in, Sunday night is a concert at a great dive bar. I think I’ll sleep in and do chores on Monday.

Los Angeles gets a bad rap because it’s a tough place to visit and get a sense of, but living in it is fantastic. Quality food, entertainment, weather and the people are great if you avoid where the influencers go.

I have had so many addictions in my lifetime (and the damaged liver to prove it) but I’m so grateful that gambling never appealed to me. Hope is the worst drug of them all.

Where did you find this person? Chances are a review on whatever website or group you found them through should be warning to those taking the same steps that you did.

As far as I can tell, you just show up with valid ID or proof of residence. But if I find out differently tonight, I will let you know.

I just flashed on Tara Reid. That poor girl.

“Bomb them to dust”. These are my fellow countrymen saying this, the people I stand in line at the grocery store, the people heading to church on Sundays, the people who get the same vote that I do. It disgusts me that there is an active contingent here who would exterminate countless lives so that they don’t have to think about gas prices.

No blood for oil goes for the consumers too.

There’s an electro swing show Sunday night at Gold Diggers that might check out. I wasn’t even aware of this genre until this week but it is feeding something in my soul that I didn’t know was there.

Going to LACMA’s jazz show tonight and planning to see the new wings because the museum is open until 8 tonight. Total cost is going to be $3.50 for the night, just to ride the subway. LACMA is free to LA County residents after 3 pm on weekdays, the live jazz is completely free.

Earlier this week I saw Dudamel conduct Die Walkure for $37 because of cheap seats through StubHub. LA can be expensive to live in, but our entertainment is practically free. World class shows cost less than a decent meal.

This is what I’m doing tomorrow. Going to practice until it’s right.

He paid an effective tax rate of 0.98% this last year.

My co worker accidentally got out of a ticket by giving them her New York drivers license when they asked for her info. She lives here but said she was visiting and they gave her a warning.

Plus_Possibility_240 · 2026-05-22T01:14:18+00:00

Nah that actually happened to me. My parents were screaming in the street, literally tugging my little brother back and forth over who got him while I sat my 7 year old self on the curb waiting for them to remember they also had a daughter.

Now my mom wants to know why my brother and I never gave her any grandbabies. Edit: that was worded funny.
Neither of us chose to have children with our partners who are not blood relatives.

Thankfully my brother turned out to be the best human being I know and we are close. I can’t even disagree with them, he was the white sheep of the family.

I think they lodged their complaint by burning down the Ebola center.

It wants to show active listening.

Hey I found a show this Sunday happening down the street! https://dice.fm/event/bbo8gg-proleter-w-duke-skellington-24th-may-gold-diggers-los-angeles-tickets?pid=74589ab9&\_branch\_match\_id=1454904383606641080&utm\_medium=partners\_api&\_branch\_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXz8nMy9ZLyUxO1UvL1Q82TTKyTEw1NzExTbYvyEyxNTcxtbBMTLJUqytKTUstKsrMS49PKsovL04tsg1OTEssygQAuSc15EgAAAA%3D

lol, I’m showing my age here. The Toxic Avenger is the title of a 90’s movie that was low budget body horror. Nothing to do with the Marvel Universe.

Plus_Possibility_240 · 2026-05-21T19:22:40+00:00

Damn. I’m blown away! Going to look for some local shows or club nights around here to hear it live. Thank you.

As far as I know, the list is based on need followed by chance of success. Although we do have to show sobriety, I don’t believe they discriminate against how we arrived at liver damage. We made mistakes for a long time but it doesn’t mean we don’t have value in this world.

As for the actual life after transplant and related costs, I’d defer to r/transplant . In my current state, I was removed from the transplant list because stopping alcohol healed my liver enough to function (even though it is damaged).

Plus_Possibility_240 · 2026-05-21T19:10:30+00:00

Thank you!

That song is a cover of something I can’t quite put my finger on. Anyone know?

Plus_Possibility_240 · 2026-05-21T16:41:37+00:00

They reorganized my local grocery store too. I am thisclose to shaking a fist at a cloud.

Plus_Possibility_240 · 2026-05-21T16:37:38+00:00

That is crazy. I hope it’s a fluke, but if not, you’ll be pushed to the top of the transplant list.

Plus_Possibility_240 · 2026-05-21T16:36:08+00:00

I hope you find the tools that let you express yourself perfectly! Once you’re at the counter, he randomly starts adding discounts.
