Like others have said, “do it yourself” is a bad take. It’s actually an ableist opinion on this.

Counterpoint: if you don’t move every year, and have more than a room or two worth of stuff (i.e. you’re not in your 20s anymore) then pay for a mover.

You might not only save money, but you’ll also spare yourself a good deal of stress

13 year olds getting addicted to nicotine is a serious issue.

..or just quit.

Granted, not as self-harming as smoking.  But not even a quick line about how inhaling anything other than air into your lungs is not necessarily a great idea?

Ageism: the last remaining openly acceptable form of bigotry.

I think the important piece here is that the items are not loose and as flat as possible, nothing bulky like a pen, or key on a key-ring.

I’ve mailed coins (at buyers request and only when total weight was less than 1oz), by taping them to an index card, and putting another index card on top of them.

Once a bird has built a nest, it’s important not to disturb it, though.

But some people may consider it “extreme frugality”, if that’s the last box to check off. If you’ve become a grinder and mini-maxed yourself out of living; what is there to enjoy?

The physical act of making the list helps me cope. I don’t have to worry about the 30 things being juggled and possibly forgotten in my mind, I can SEE them, black & white and that, somehow to me, makes them more manageable. I won’t forget anything and its not so scary when its just a line on a list and not some big…

I started roller skating again 4 years ago, at age 53, after a 35-year hiatus. I skate at least twice a week and skated over 2000 miles during Covid lockdown in 2020. Skating is the most fun I have all week. My local rink has a 95-year-old gentleman who still skates weekly.  If he’s not too old, neither am I.

I came out at age 47. It’s never too late to start anything.

I believed you couldn’t touch the baby birds until just now. Thanks for that one! 

Laurie is wrong.
In 21 states, employers are literally not allowed to ask you about pay history. So why the hell shouldn’t you lie?

There has been panic buying in Quebec but that should ease as due to different rules with regard to dairy it is not the same supply of formula.

They would likely not care if a normal amount of formula was purchased and subsequently declared. I really advice against thinking if it’s an abnormally large amount thinking…

You sure you know how to wear a tie? If you think the tie is constricting blood flow to your brain, it’s not. It’s your collar. Your collar is too small and doesn’t fit your neck. You need to get a shirt with a proper collar size. A properly fitting collar with a tie can still be quite comfortable.

It reads like a petulant teenager raging about having to dress like an adult for once. By all means, toss aside any sense of decorum you might have had, but don’t expect to be taken seriously if you’re not properly dressed for an occasion that would call for a tie.

Counterpoint: They look hot.

I believe that this is, by far, the dumbest article that I have ever seen on Lifehacker.
