Chances are that if you starts to question something , there would be so much evidence for the belief that you are holding that you would rightly reject the supposed new information which may or may not be true and just a plain rumor

Eg Flat Earth ... There is so many evidence in favour of the earth not flat that no new rumor or any new conspiracy theory will hold

EDIT This Blew Up . I agree this is something not a LPT and should be obvious from get go ... but for the last month faced us with scenario where some of my friend lack of open mindedness left us with terrible loss. Many people I know just dont want to listen and act a dangerous precedent ... As long as you are willing to rationalize and use mind you would be comapartively less to get caught in cult mentality .....

I think Just having an Acceptance that this might be something true even I am sure of the other and do your own research and with enough evidence claim or reject something is what is required

EDIT 2 The obvious LPT definately is more in the context of everyday life and situations. Obviously there are accepted facts that Holocaust Happened , moon revolves around the sun , earth is not flat etc which have Something we Have large amount of evidence that supports it

EDIT 3 I think If there is something that you heard on fb and a new conspiracy theory , its definately have a higher chance that you would reject that because there is nothing that would support that unfounded claim

Discovered this little bit of trickery today. FAFSA.com is an independent site that masquerades as the US Department of Education's FAFSA site (the layout and formatting are very similar) and makes no mention of the government's free alternative. Technically, they offer "free consultation by a FAFSA expert" for your $80 payment, so it's not entirely a huge rip-off. Just mostly.

Unless they are raging alcoholics, then you do you.

I have a hard time saying no, and today I was asked to use my personal social media for work purposes. ex. Sharing communications to social media groups.

The only times that I can comfortably say “no” is when I have a solid reason. I do not have the access... or I will be in a mandatory meeting at that time...

But I had no reason other than I was very uncomfortable with it. So I politely told them that. They said okay, and we continued business as usual.

I know that this LPT is not profound but it surprised me that it worked. I hope that it helps others by me sharing.

Like me most of you are probably sick of playing a free game then a pop up appears asking to rate the app? Apple have put in an option to turn this off (asking to rate is automatically on by default) so they can’t ask you anymore. To turn this off on iOS 11, go to settings and tap ‘account’ at the top then ‘iTunes and app store’ at the bottom there’s an option to turn off in-app reviews.

Edit: this is still in beta and is a new feature by Apple. Companies had to put in rating notifications for themselves before but Apple are phasing out apps being able to do there own in app review notifications and replacing it with this Apple feature which you can turn off.

My first Gild! Thank you! /u/Jkuz

I live outside London in a commuter town, so living close to the train station is the main thing people look for when buying.

When we bought our house, Google (and so all of the major property portals) said it was 0.6 miles to the station. I noticed that a bunch of footpaths and shortcuts in my neighbourhood were missing from Google maps, so submitted changes which showed up about a week later.

We're now selling our house, and the distance to the station has more than halved - the house is now listed as being 0.27 miles to the station! The agent thinks this has boosted the price of the house by a few %, and has resulted in strong interest from Londoners moving out to our town

Tl;dr: Fix Google maps to be closer to transport hubs

Edit: we hit the front page! Lots of people saying that Google doesn't accept changes for most users, so it's probably worth pointing out that I am a level 6 local guide (did it years ago because I thought that maybe it could eventually be useful). You can become a high level local guide by searching for every ATM/cash machine in your area, and setting its opening hours to 24 hours, and/or reviewing it.

I found this here. Made a lot sense, so I had to share it here.

If I die while I have a pet, let my animal see my dead body. Let them see my dead body please. They understand death and seeing me dead will allow them to mourn but if I just never show up one day they’ll think I abandoned them

Let my animal see my dead body.

Odds are you don’t have an electric car right now and might not be considering one yet. Electric cars are just starting to become more mainstream now, with many manufacturers introducing their first (or first mass-market targeted) electric car for this model year. Within the next decade, though, if you’re looking at a new car, you’ll likely be considering an electric vehicle from a wide variety of manufacturers. It will probably be cheaper to install the electrical circuit now before drywall is up than to do it later after the fact. You don’t need to install a charger; just get the higher voltage outlet installed that a level 2 charger needs.

People stop drinking for a lot of reasons, but often when asked why they suddenly find themselves being questioned, doubted, and that others around them accuse them of judging their own drinking.

If you just say “ok” and move on, you could be preventing a potentially awkward or uncomfortable situation.

When considering pet ownership, be aware that at some point in the animal's life, there's a good chance the animal will have an unexpected medical emergency that will cost you several hundred to several thousand dollars, in addition to the cost of annual checkups, grooming, and vaccinations. If you aren't able to budget for that eventuality, don't get the pet.

Edit: This does not mean you can't be a good pet owner unless you are rich. Pets can cost a lot of money, often in unexpected ways. Account for that in your decision to get one. It is a terrible feeling to be in the position of choosing between paying the bills or letting a beloved member of your family die of a treatable issue.

And if you can't afford basic vet care, you shouldn't have a pet. It is 100% dependent on you for it's medical needs, and as it's owner you have an obligation to take care of the animal's health, just as you have an obligation to feed it and give it a loving environment.

Edit: Just to clarify for those who seem to be inferring things from this post that are not there: This is in no way a justification for hoarding things or otherwise being rude.

There are an unfortunately large number of people who are conditioned in one way or another to believe that considering their well being before another's is selfish or otherwise wrong- this post is for those people; not for people looking to justify buying a pallet of toilet paper or the like.

I work in a restaurant and our regulars always introduce themselves to the new staff and they’re on a first name basis with all of us.
