Got a warning because my dad hadn't given me an up-to-date insurance card, then let go.", "I was driving with the flow of traffic, trying to be considerate of the other drivers around me. If you are going to give me a ticket, is there any way I might have a warning instead, sir/ma'am?", "I over took the police on the highway once going 20mph more than I should have been. Eventually, when they clocked me, I was slower than I originally had been but I owned up to my original speed and the cop was quite alright about the whole thing. I still got my ticket and I had to pay the fine, but owning up to the mistake was better than trying to be a jerk about it.", "I lived in California for these, for what it's worth;\n\nI used to commute to work ~45 miles each way, so it wasn't uncommon for me to put about 100 miles on my car a day. Most days I sped. The highways I used were pretty empty and while the speed limit was 65 it wasn't uncommon for people to be going about 80 in the fast lane. I'd get a speeding ticket every year and a half or so. I was always respectful and courteous, the officers are just doing their job. I have never been pulled over without knowing why, maybe it's because I'm a white female, but I always thought, \"Oh, yup, there he is, he caught me speeding/following to closely/whatever.\" Also when people heard I'd gotten a ticket on my way to work, everyone had their opinion on how much it was going to cost, \"It's $25 for every mile over the speed limit\" or some bullshit. Truth is, I'd pay for my ticket, I'd pay to go to the driver's safety school (or whatever it was called) and I'd pay for the certificate to be accepted; all this kept it off my driving record, and all those things total ALWAYS cost me less than $200. I always just wrote it off as a \"speeding tax\", I sped every single day and got one ticket every 1.5 years, it wasn't bad.\n\nAt any rate, I was once on an \"SR\" (SR-12 or something), like a mini-highway, the speed limist was 65 as per usual, and as usual I was doing about 80-90 (yeah it was crazy.) Well the SR goes through a town, and has a light so the \"END FREEWAY\" sign appears and the speed limit goes way down, to like 45, 50 tops. I'm still doing about 90, I see a cop car hiding in the dark at the last second, he lights up and pulls me over. I'm with my friend and just kind of go \"well, it must be that time for me to get a speeding ticket.\"\n\nHe comes to my window and asks, \"Do you know why I pulled you over?\" And I said, \"Yeah, I was going way too fast.\" He says, \"That's right! I'm just gonna write you a warning, I don't right tickets to people who confess, I'm just here to catch the assholes.\"\n\nI KID YOU NOT! Those were his words! \n\nI believe that was the only time I've ever been ask \"Do you know why...\" Most times I get the no-nonsense cops, \"Hello! I pulled you over for speeding, license and registration please.\" They'll even tell me HOW they captured my speed, with a radar or pacing or whatever. I appreciate that, and like I said, I've never been pulled over without knowing why. I've also been lucky enough to have cops answer a weird \"points on your record\" question and also tell me how to avoid tickets \"staying on your record.\" \n\nAgain, I am a white female, and I'm never rude to cops, I'm not stunning or anything so I know they're not being overly nice to me. I imagine most people are dicks to cops so I bet the occasional nice understanding citizens get a little leeway? I've gotten speeding, following too closely, incorrect seatbelt, etc. Speeding I just take, the following too closely I was kind of zoned out so it was a good wake-up call to realize when I'm too close to people, the cop who gave me my seatbelt warning told me where to get an adjuster thing to wear and what to look for to make sure it's a safe one. I've never had problems with cops. \n\n**TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION:** Take a chance, try to sense the officer, maybe it's the end of their shift, they've had asshole after asshole and are just looking to ticket the next asshole who plays dumb, maybe they're patient and would rather you \"confess\" and give you a warning for your honesty. Unless you were seriously mistakenly pulled over or something, you probably have deserved whatever you're about to get. And I don't mean that in a snarky way, just honest.", "I just say yes and wait for the cop to say the next thing. Usually there is an akward silence until they move on. I never admit guilt though. \nExample:\n\"Do you know how fast you were going?\"\n\"Yes.\"\n\".......\"\n\".....\"\n\".....Well?\"\n\"What does you're radar say?\"\n\"I clocked you at __ mph.\"\n\"Ok.\" \nThen I let the officer decide what they want to do. ", "I have had a few situations to help you answer this. The first time I was pulled over I admitted I was speeding... boom, automatic fine. \n\nSecond time I was speeding and pulled over I told him how I was so into the song I was singing along with on the radio for a minute there and didn't realize my foot was holding the pedal a bit heavy. He let me off with a warning.\n\nThe third time was when I wasn't over 10 mph but he saw me from the opposite side of the highway and turned around to pull me over. He asked how fast I was going and I told him 72 in a 65. He nodded his head and said \"sounds about right\" and let me off with a warning. \n\nSo what I learned if that if I was speeding and had a good indication that they had used a radar, I may get off with a warning by kind of making a joke about it. Just laugh and shake you're head like, \"Oh man, that gosh-darn song!\" \n\nAnd if they are driving on the other side of the highway, lie your ass off if you have to. If anyone knows if they radar while driving that'd be good for me to know too...\n\nMy dad always told me to always know how fast I was going when they'd ask, even if you tell a little white lie. ", "I have NEVER been asked that question. They always just tell me \"You were driving a __ in a ___.\" and write me a ticket. Never had a warning given", "I can't believe all these ignorant answers. If you were speeding, and were aware of it, or the police have you on record speeding, take the ticket. You deserve it. Probably several people on this site have friends and family that have been in accidents with people speeding. \n\nI find trying to weasel yourself out of a ticket disgusting. But things might be different in the States.", "I am not a lawyer so don't use this without consulting a real one.\n\nI read something once that said \"I thought was going the speed limit.\" or \"I have no idea.\" These can't be used against you in court. It's not a provable lie and then in court, the burden of proof will be on the officer. In fact, yes and no during the stop is your best bet if you plan on going to court. Everything is evidence.\n\nIn court, question the method, when the radar/laser gun was last calibrated, can you please see those records. Ask if they are certified in the operation and interpretation of the device and results. Can you see the certification? When was your speedometer last calibrated? Can you see those records? Object if they is reading anything on the stand. I don't think that is allowed. \n\nA conviction is supposed to only be given out after there is no more reasonable doubt. You will need to create that doubt in order fight the ticket.\n\nI'm sure every traffic judge has heard everything so it might all be crap and you will pay anyway.", "Here is a list of video links collected from comments that redditors have made in response to this submission:\n\n|Source Comment|Score|Video Link|\n|:-------|:-------|:-------|\n|[simplyroh](http://reddit.com/comments/1ery7m/_/ca3bgvr)|21|[If You See Something, Film Something II: Recording Police is a Dangerous but Necessary Thing to Do](http://youtu.be/XxlL0I5AWLI)|\n|[penholdr](http://reddit.com/comments/1ery7m/_/ca38q6x)|10|[Family Guy- Speaking Spanish](http://youtu.be/dd0tTl0nxU0)|\n|[0accountability](http://reddit.com/comments/1ery7m/_/ca3daxn)|10|[Dont Talk to Police](http://youtu.be/6wXkI4t7nuc)|\n|[manifes7o](http://reddit.com/comments/1ery7m/_/ca3cogy)|2|[Joy Ride](http://youtu.be/OW8mmpQkYbg)|\n|[Liberty5-3000](http://reddit.com/comments/1ery7m/_/ca3ft68)|1|[How to Get Out of a Traffic Ticket](http://youtu.be/89-gz3e8ctc)|\n|[TheTownDevil](http://reddit.com/comments/1ery7m/_/ca3ei66)|1|[obviously your not a golfer](http://youtu.be/0CWfPUrmeiU)|\n\n* [VideoLinkBot FAQ](http://www.reddit.com/r/VideoLinkBot/wiki/faq)\n* [Feedback](http://www.reddit.com/r/VideoLinkBot/submit)\n* [Playlist of videos in this comment](http://radd.it/comments/1ery7m/_/ca3ejty?only=videos&start=1)", "First, you tell the police officer that they are a dirty piece of shit and have no right to pull you over.

[ "Maybe that isn't your seen. You might try a more structured dance like salsa or swing dancing. It takes more effort to learn, but you're dancing with someone for a specific period of time (a few minutes per song), and your logical/analytical brain can have a field day while you're learning how to dance.

They all just fake it and go with the flow. \n\nYou can easily have a good time without dancing, just hang out, talk, and enjoy yourself. ", "Try going to a music festival and just feel the music. Even when I go to festivals with friends I always want to break away and just dance somewhere without anyone interrupting me. Or if you go traveling or out to a show where you don't know anyone you can just enjoy yourself, rather than have to over-think what you're doing. It took me a while until I actually could say \"wow I love dancing\" because I used to be nervous and super self-conscious. Booze and drugs can help loosen you up a bit, but really it's about actually enjoying the music and having your body say \"oh shit dude, I don't care about what worries your dumb brain has, I need to bust a move here, this music is too good\" and then just let yourself go with it.", "Skip the alcohol. \n\nGo.

When you are finally at a party, moves will come naturally becaus your brain has muscle memories for them. If you don't have access to information when you want it (like how to dance), your brain throws you stress hormones and triggers fight/flight/freeze response.\n\n", "Try to remember that everyone feels the same way.

P.S., using alcohol to give you something you can't get otherwise (in this case, you, but uninhibited) is an incredibly dangerous solution and can lead to some really bad outcomes.\n1.) Go to parties with a friend or by yourself if you're feeling confident and become comfortable with just sitting near the food or on the side and never even attempting to \"dance\". I feel like dancing is tortuous, too, and I just avoid parties because I don't find them enjoyable for that reason, but when I do go I can usually just sit and eat delicious doritos all night, and then just watch and laugh at the drunks.\n2. Sparkiano was 100% right when he brought up ballroom dancing. I hate being that carefree party version of a person, but when it came to steps and doing everything in a calculated and therefore beautiful way, it was fantastic. Also, the ballroom dance club at my school was great and you would switch partners every few minutes throughout the night, and it's a great way to make friends because they were all terrible dancers a semester or two ago, too.\n3. You probably haven't just blasted music in your room with nobody home, completely alone. Do this the next time you're alone, and see what it feels like to sing purposefully badly. Like, imagine if no matter what you did with your vocal chords the notes would come out perfect, and then use that feeling to sing. Mine usually comes out as croaks halfway through my range. Do the same thing with your body, and just throw it frantically around the room like some insane person and just do literally anything your body feels, even if and especially if that thing is something that seems really really stupid. Get it out of your system if it needs to go. Then, just take something that you can do in your life that is dance-like (for me, that was conducting [like for a band]) and then let the music flow through that. Essentially, find a conduit to \"dance\" through and just use that. Use that and feel comfortable doing it and go HAM. Then, combine the two. It might not show you that you can actually dance but you'll feel a ton better about yourself and about dancing.\n4. Wait until everyone ELSE is completely wasted, and then dance in a corner knowing that everyone else will forget whatever dancing you did.\n5. Go to a music festival, like an EDM festival or something, as long as you love or at least like the music. Make sure it's one that you can wear interesting things to, and then put on a mask and cover your entire body, and then repeat step 3.\n\nNow you've gone through what these other \"carefree\" people have gone through in their lives to get them to that point. And now, you can decide if you want to accept that version of yourself as part of who you are, or continue being the person you were before this. If you decide to stay who you are, then sitting at parties and never dancing won't feel weird anymore. \n\n", "Don't try to observe and copy other guys. By all means watch them, but make the moves your own. Put on some music in your room and just move. Once you start feeling comfortable with your dancing, the confidence will show. If you feel that you are a good dancer, you will be perceived as a good dancer, and it's not like there are codified rules of college party dancing. Just be yourself. Also, if the party scene isn't your thing, that's okay too. Find some other activity to occupy your time. If you want to dance in a more logical, structured format, a lot of colleges have ballroom, swing, and/or salsa clubs. If you are in the northeast, there is also an active competitive ballroom dance circuit, which is both a lot of fun and a great way to meet people (also, tends to be filled with analytical types)" ]

The lava rocks worked like a charm. Lets just say I moved into a house after some people that didn't take care of it really well. " ]

[ "You don't necessarily need to trust her; you just need to not worry about it. You can't stop someone from cheating on you with suspicion and mistrust. Just enjoy the relationship you have, and let your future self deal with cheating if it happens. There is nothing you can do to prepare for it or prevent it.", "Your doing great man, so far but open up your heart for her to show her that she means a lot to you and it would hurt you if you ever lost her. Sorry if English is bad! ", "You've learned not to trust women - that's a feature not a bug. Congrats on ending the relationships with the cheaters. You're aware, observant and have self respect. Pat yourself on the back. Many men are either oblivious to their cheating partners or so 'whipped' that they try to wish it away. \n\nI don't know what your circumstances are. What is she doing that demands your trust? ", "Has she done anything or said anything that would cause you to mistrust her at all? Or are you simply having trust issues mainly because of your previous relationships? \n\nHonestly, it sounds like your mistrust is becoming an issue for her because she feels like it's misplaced. The actions of other people are becoming a burden for her to carry and she may look at it as unfair. Although your past experiences have led you to feel insecure and paranoid about your significant other, you can't hold her accountable for someone else's mistake. You're essentially punishing her for something she hasn't done or had anything to do with. \n\nit's okay to feel insecurities, but you also have to acknowledge the negativity you're bringing to the relationship. It may be your personal issue to resolve, but is clearly affecting the relationship. \n\nI would suggest you have a very honest and open talk with her about what she might like to see you do. Just because it's your own battle to fight doesn't mean you can show her that you're actively trying to be better. She might want you to go talk to a therapist, and if you think she's worth it, then you should go. In the event that she has chalked you up as a lost cause and is looking for a way out of the relationship, you deserve to know that too before you start committing yourself into doing things for her. Communication is key, especially when it's about trust. \n\n", "FWIW the only woman who ever cheated on me was one who cheated on her previous boyfriend, with me! So I guess I had it coming since I knew she was taken when I made my move.\n\nShow your GF that you trust her through actions and not just words. How best to do that is going to vary depending on the two of you. Otherwise just listen to her and keep being the best man you can be and it'll be fine. If she is this nervous about trust issues it shows that she really cares about you and that is so crucial to a good relationship. Don't forget that relationships are supposed to be mutually fun so don't \"over discuss\" it or you can take the magic out of it." ]

[ "1. Research which rides you want to go on/what you want to see\n2. Find these attractions on a map. Circle/highlight them (in advance)\n3. Get to the park when it first opens.

Work your way to the front of the park\n6. Re visit whatever you like, but budget time because the wait times will be significantly larger than previously\n\n\nWhere are you going? Parks with \"Fast Passes\" or the like (Disney, universal, islands of adventure) will allow you to get a ticket to skip the line (kind of), so you should stop and get these fast passes before you go on the farthest ride. Some parks, like Disney, will only allow one fast pass at a time though.", "Bring your own water and snacks too. The prices are silly in the parks. Also wear the most comfortable clothing you own. Being uncomfortable in line makes a person super cranky. ", "If you're taking kids with you take a picture of them as you get to the park. Make sure you get them in head to toe so if the worst happens and they get lost immediately you can always show the picture to park security so they can get a good description out quickly.\n\nTry to figure out what gets the longest queues and go there first. Islands of adventure's harry potter land will fill up within an hour or of the park opening. The big ride, (I forget the name) honestly goes from closed to a three hour queue within about 10 minutes.", "Been a while since I've been to any other parks, but at Disney, never underestimate the power of getting there early and staying late. I recommend a midday break to ensure you have the energy to stay until the park closes.", "Wear shoes that you can be comfortable in all day (standing/walking)\n\nEat before you go in. Food prices inside will be outrageous. \n\nMost visitors will go for the fastest and highest rides first. If you do that all of the other rides will seem boring. Go from the low thrill rides then work your way up. \n \nIf you want to buy souvenirs, buy them on the way out so you are not burdened by them all day.\n", "* Get there early and immediately head to the very back of the park so you can ride those rides unmolested and in the very front (if thats your sort of thing).\n* Bring your own food in a cooler and at lunch go back to your car to have a little parking lot picnic (some places even have little covered picnic table areas to do this at)\n* Comfortable shoes are an absolute must.\n* If the park has water features, you might want to wear your bathing suit. Worst feeling is walking around with soaked shorts/underwear and often times leads to chafing. \n* Liquor is much better than beer in terms of efficiency and filling of stomach. You can take a few shots in the parking lot and be alright to go ride some rides. You can't bong 3 beers and then go ride rides with a full stomach of beer. ", "Go on a Tuesday, take a day off if you have to, and make sure it doesn't coincide with any school-day-off holidays. Save up some money to blow on food (read: CHURROS). You only go once a year, right? Set yourself up to enjoy every bit of it.\n\nI personally only ride like 4 fuckin awesome rides, then lunch, then go to the zoo / whatever else they have attached.\n\nThen wander around drinking beer and play little games and eat carnival food and take pictures.", "Fast passes can vary quite a bit depending on what park you're visiting. \n\nAt Walt Disney world in Orlando, fast passes are free to all guests and you can set up three in advance, then book more once you have used them. Guests staying at a Disney hotel have the earliest access to book fastpasses, but everyone now has the opportunity to book in advance. Disney has the best system and you can really beat the crowds if you pick the right attractions at the right times. They completely overhauled the way they do fastpasses recently and adjustments are made from time to time, your experience may differ.\n\nAt Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure, they still use what's referred to at the \"legacy\" Fastpass system. Also free to all guests. You put your park ticket in a machine at the attraction and it spits out a pass with a return window in which you may experience the attraction without waiting. \n\nAt Universal Orlando, guests staying at all but one of the on site hotels get a type of fast pass. You can also purchase them for an additional $30-$40. You can use it to skip the line one time at each participating attraction.\n\nAt cedar point and kings island they sell fast passes on top of the price of admission. One for $60 and one for $80. The $80 puts you at the front of the line for every ride that matters. The $60 one will put you at the front of the line for all but the two most popular (newest) rides. That's a hefty one day ticket price, $100-$130, not including parking or food. I have a friend who just did the $80 fast pass at cedar point and loved it.\n\nThe first and last two hours of park operation are usually the slowest. It's the best time to visit \"headliner\" attractions.", "A few simple rules I make\n\n* Watch youtube videos of rides, research on websites, and google [theme park name] discounts. Know what you are getting into\n* Make a list from rides you really want to go on down to rides you dont care about. \n* Get there before the park opens. My experience has been that the parking lot opens before the park itself opens. This allows you more time for the theme park and less time getting ready\n* The moment you go in go straight for the ride you want. \n* A similar advice to the one above but completely seperate would be to run to all the rides that you want to go on that are located furthest away from the entrance. Less people, shorter line, can ride it again. \n* Don't go on the ride that just opened. The line will be horrendously long; it'll still be there next year with a shorter line. Instead go on the other rides, most park attendees came for that ride so they will be going there first leaving all the other rides with short lines. \n* Eat before you go into the park and try to smuggle in some snacks in your pockets. There should be water fountains so it will be fine.\n* Related to above. Eat until 80% full, dont go on a ride full... just dont. \n\ndiclaimer: These are general rules I personally follow. My advice on lines and riding the rides you want are general advice and might not work because of the human factor. ", "It depends. Are you talking something relatively small like six flags? Or larger scale like Disney World, Universal, etc.? I'll try to tailor my advice to apply to both, but bigger parks have a few other notes.\n\nArguably the most valuable theme park advice I can give: plan, plan Plan. Get maps and show schedules ahead of time if you can, and a list of all attractions. Find out what you absolutely want to do, make a prioritized list of things you want to see/do. You'll want to note show times for whatever shows you want to see. Try to work out a schedule so you know what area of the park you'll be in at what times for shows, and you can plan your rides around that. Then mark them on a map, both show venues and rides. Then prioritize what rides you absolutely want to go on, and balance this list with one based on how popular they are. If you're not sure, googling \"popular attractions at (insert theme park)\" or \"longest wait times at (insert theme park)\" should give you some idea. Once you've got a list banged out, find them on a map and plan to start with the most popular ones, before lines get started. Try to knock those out as soon as you can. Sometimes you can ride them twice in a row without waiting if you get there soon enough (my gf and I did exp", "Disney World:\n\nPlan your shit way in advance. If you want to eat at a restaurant there, book the reservation 6 months out, particularly for Epcot. Some restaurants can be gotten even Day Of but never the one you want.\n\nAll fast passes are online and advance booked now. So if you want to get a few fast passes for your favorite rides, you need to reserve them a few days ahead, on the Day Of you won't be able to get one at all or the times will be stupid. (I hate this system, the old \"pick it up as you pass by\" system was optimal IMO.)\n\nMost hotels have park shuttles, use them. Parking is $15 at the park, if you are already staying at a hotel, take the shuttle. Note this may add another 30 minutes to get into the park, but after a long day at the park not having to navigate out and back to a hotel can be nice.\n", "A lot has already been covered, but ill throw my 2 cents in.\n\n* Work your way up from low thrill to high thrill.\n* Use discretion with water rides. Wearing soaked shoes all day can be awful. At the end of the day my feet have gotten so pruned and gross, i have to peel my sock off. It also made the ride home quite a bit stinkier.\n* On the subject of shoes, wear something comfortable. You could be walking miles over the day. I would not recomend flip flops unless you plan on going on a lot of water rides. \n* Try to keep items to a minimum. I would bring only a phone and some money. Other loose items can be uncomfortable, and having to put them in the cubby at every ride can be a nuisance and unsafe. This goes for hats, glasses, and flip flops too. If you cant stand to be with out a hat or shades, bring a cheap pair you wouldn't mind getting lost, damaged, or stolen.\n* Remember, by law they have to provide water for free. A nice free cup of ice water will beat the luke warm water fountains, and 5 dollar sodas any day.\n* As others have said, bring your own food if possible. as /u/dewey2100 had said parking lot picnics are good, and many places will have areas specifically for that. Its also a good time for a mid-day break, and for your group to regather.\n", "ninja ", "If you can get a fast pass for like double the price of a normal ticket, then under most circumstances i'd recommend getting that. Unless you know the queues aren't going to be too bad for some reason.", "I'm assuming you're referring to the theme parks that are typically travel destinations, like Disney, Universal, etc. For local/small theme parks, some of this advice still applies, but is probably somewhat less relevant. \n\n* If at all possible, go at off-peak times. I went to Disney World the week after Thanksgiving and it was incredible. (Relatively) short lines, and the weather was pleasant – sunny and mild. Also, they were offering massive discounts to fill their resorts. We could have stayed in a pretty swank monorail property for the same price as a room in the cheapest resort during the summer.\n* Avoid going during the summer holiday season. It's tempting, but the prices will be at their highest, the lines will be the longest, the weather will be brutally hot and humid, and it will rain most afternoons (in Florida/the south).\n* If you *have* to go during the summer, plan for an afternoon siesta in your hotel room. The kids can nap/recharge and you can read or watch TV or whatever you do to relax. Plan to go out again once temperatures have come down a bit and your kids aren't on the edge of a tantrum.\n* Arrive when/before the park opens, because most people are \"on vacation\" and not on their game enough to get there before 8/9am. This is especially important if you want to avoid the heat. \n* Figure out which rides you want to do (well in advance) and which have the longest lines. Pick some to FastPass (or whatever the park's system is for a reserved time) and then go to one or two right at opening time before the line builds fully. \n* Stay enough days so you can do everything you want to do without having to absolutely jam every day from 7am to 10pm. If you can't do that, just accept that you will have to skip a few things and save yourself the exhaustion.\n* Wear proper shoes, and if you don't walk much, consider doing a bit of walking before the trip. I walk to work every day. At Disney World, I wore flip-flops the first day and screwed up my feet so badly I could barely walk for the rest of the trip.\n* Stay hydrated and fed by bringing reusable water bottles and snacks. You don't want to end up having heat exhaustion or getting hangry.\n* Suncream/sunscreen, even in winter. You'll be exposed to the sun a lot, and no one wants skin cancer.", "Female here (although this applies to all genders):\n\nTo be the most comfy, plan ahead to get soaked and you will be fine :) never wear jeans. I have a two piece bathing suit I only use for waterparks/theme parks (if going swimming I wear a one piece), then over it I wear a cotton tank top and shorts that are made of track suit material and flip flops. No socks, nothing that is terrible to sit in wet. That way you are going to be fine if you decide to go on a water ride, and you don't have to be pissy either about it :) I don't go with people anymore that refuse to wear anything but jeans because they are big downers when we get there. They are usually the same people that refuse to put their Cell phone in a locker so they can go on water rides, or people that say they go on every ride but then wimp out for half of the things throughout the day. \n\nI agree about snacks, I make a picnic lunch and go out to my car halfway throughout the day, although I only do that at my local park. If I was going to a bigger place like Universal Orlando, I would go with the meal ticket that keys you eat all day - research the Park you are going to. Things like meal passes are going to be way cheaper if it is somewhere you flew to vs. One that is near your house and you just make a day trip. ", "Step uno: Find some papers that look like regular cigarette papers.\n\nStep 2: Get one of those little $20 rolling machines and pack your weed in those.\n\nStep C: Keep those in your belt line when entering the park. Smoke one while walking to each ride- preferably around cigarette smokers. Don't stand still.", "If you're travelling alone, or in a party and are happy to ride separately, look for a single rider queue. It's often much shorter than the normal queue, but you don't get to choose who you ride with.", "Go on an \"ugly\" day where there is a chance of rain. I went to six flags the other day and was able to get on over 15 rides. My longest wait for a ride was ten minutes. It was beautiful. ", "By not going. There's a whole world out there to see so why waste time and money at a stupid tourist trap. Go to Europe instead. ", "Be at the gate when the park opens, then go to the left when you get in.

[ "Good luck. At&t and the rest make so much money from them that they will never stop it. All carriers in the US earn a fee from them as well as they get a fee from you. Rest of the world the person calling pays for the call but both sides of the call pay here. \n\nThis has to be the worst for contractors who rely on unknown calls for business. I find that you cannot win but if everyone blocks the number and deletes that call, they only have limited numbers and by doing this you will find the robo blockers can at least help others. I let unknown numbers go to voicemail as they never leave a message, legit callers will if they want something. \n\nOne night I was bored. I answered the call and was derogatory towards the persons mother and hung up. He punished me by adding my number to a list that called me every two minutes for two hours. I was bored, so I let them ring off to voice mail. Then spent time blocking and deleting. Since then the call volume dropped drastically for me. Must have used up all their numbers.", "It may not work any more but once upon a time I set the out of service SIT tone at the start of my outgoing voicemail message. If a person was calling they heard the tones and then me telling them to ignore the tones and leave a message. But robo callers hear the tones and marked the number as out of service so they would stop trying it. \n\nAlas a product came out a bunch of years ago that added exactly this to your phone line. It would play the tones and then connect the call thru to your phone. As a result I think a lot of the robo dialers now just ignore the tones. They are all doing computerized dialing with voice over IP anyway and nearly all are fly by night scams. It is just easier and likely cheaper for them now to keep dialing even out of service numbers. \n\nSome day I will get around to trying it again on my VM message and see if it makes a difference.", "I used to have the same problem with scam call centers. What I used to do was go through with the call until I got a live person. Then I’d try to waste as much time as I could with them. I’d do this every single time they’d try to call me. It got to the point where they were so fed up with trying to call me that I guess they programmed their robocaller to skip my number, because I’d get a call from what would be a scam call center but it would only ring once and the call would drop 😂", "I just remembered a gadget they sold through Sharper Image back in the 80s.. it worked on landlines, but it was a gadget that asked for a code before a call would let your phone ring. If I remember the ad right it would ask a caller to enter a fox code.. an app that stopped calls from ringing through until an additional code was entered would be absolutely brilliant. \n\nDO YOU WANNA DEVELOP AN APP?", "I believe this is what you're looking for:\n \nhttps://jollyrogertelephone.com/\n\nAlthough my Nokia/android phone gives me the option to screen calls I don't recognize, which has actually been really handy. The option pops up when I get the call, answer, decline, or screen, and I can read what they tell the Google robot on my screen. Looks like this is a guide on turning it on.\n\nhttps://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9118387?hl=en", "Just so happens you have a Samsung. Samsung have already thought the problem through and it's built in!!. Use it to it's full potential. Samsung phones have a Favorite List that allows chosen callers to ring at all times. This is a very powerful feature in stopping nuisance calls. Put everyone you want to be able to call on your Favorites List. This is a simple, two click process. \n\nNow leave a message in your voice mail informing callers to leave a message about what they want to discuss and you will call them back.\n\nTurn on Samsung's Fraud Call Detection. Once these are detected block these numbers.\n\nNow turn on Do Not Disturb. This is the magic bit. Your chosen Contacts can communicate as normal but everyone else gets your voice mail. You can check them whenever.\n\nI used to get hassled regularly but now get maybe one a fortnight and that gets stopped. Never had a bot call leave a message. Even if I had, it would never go anywhere.\n\nFurther anybody trying to fuck these guys are fucking themselves. Their phone numbers go into a data base showing their number is active. This means even more calls." ]

[ "Professional Actor here.\n\nBecause you're asking about this for a school skit, I'm assuming you're asking about some really basic pointers. If you're thinking about a career, the finer points can take years upon years to learn and master.\n\nAnyway, the basics:\n\n1) That cliche phrase \"What's my motivation?\" Think about what your character wants from the other characters in the skit. Don't worry if your character doesn't get them at the end; just make sure you're *trying* to get them.\n\n2) It's important not to \"break character\" - that is, if someone says something funny in the skit, but your character would not think it was funny, do not laugh. Said another way: It's important to always react to the other characters in the way that your character would react.\n\n3) Rehearse the skit. Run it with everyone in it a few times until you all know all of your lines and know where to go and what to do. The biggest mistakes usually happen when people forget what line comes next.\n\n4) Speaking of forgetting lines: Get ready to improvise! If someone drops a line or does something weird, you should do your best to cue in the next line while acknowledging what just happened. Let's say you're playing the Daughter in a skit. The actor playing \"Mom\" is supposed to cue Dad's next line by asking him how his day was, but instead says \"welcome home.\" Once you realize she's not going to ask, jump in with \"Hi Dad, how was your day?\" He's got his cue, and no one in the audience will know it was a mistake.\n\nSometimes mistakes will happen that can't be covered up easily, like if Mom dropped acid before the skit and asks Dad why the colors hate his raven or something. In that case, \"Mom, you're a weirdo. Hi Dad, how was your day?\" would be a better sort of cover. Acknowledge that Mom said something crazy and then move on.\n\nI hope these tips help. I've been doing this for two decades and there's an awful lot of information and training that is needed to really be even a mediocre actor like me. Also note that good != successful and vice versa. There are lots of factors that go into getting jobs in this business, which is why you'll often see so many bad actors on TV.", "I would say to become the actor as much as possible.

Make them your own. Note the responses you have--the facial expressions, the voice expressions, etc. as you go through the script. Duplicate and rehearse these (some may change based on the way other characters are acting their roles). You won't be able to \"feel\" it all the time when you act, but you need to show the emotion nevertheless.\n\nOveract a little. This is a skit, but even so on stage, your acting needs to be just a tiny bit bigger than life. (For film/video you don't need to do this).\n\nProject your voice. Speak from the gut. You don't want to shout, but you want the people sitting in the back to hear you even when your character is supposed to be speaking kind of softly.\n\nPractice, practice, practice. Even if you are not a \"natural\" actor, the more you do it, especially under the guidance of a director, the better you will be.\n", "Probably the most important thing is to be comfortable with playing a different character than yourself.

", "Think of something important you need to do...now go do the first thing you think of ...like seriously...go....\nGet the fuck off reddit AND GO DO IT NOW!", "as you get older you'll have more and more responsibilities aka big boy shit that you need to write down. you cant just keep it all in your head anymore. \n\nremember, the way you are now will vastly determine the kind of person you'll be. \n\nLPT: have a schedule and stick to it. wake up early. have more time to get shit done and then reward yourself for getting something done. make yourself to-do lists and reminders--make them notify you randomly throughout the day. you are your own team. dont screw yourself over. \n\nim still learning how to adult as well. \n", "LPT: Studying is best done in short bursts of fifteen to thirty minutes with a cooldown in between. \n\nFor instance, if I had a class that afternoon that I'll start my study session by re-writing my notes and making note cards (if necessary) for thirty minutes. Then I'll get up and do chores, work on a hobby, exercise, for maybe fifteen or thirty. When I come back I'll either complete that task or, if completed, move on to my next subject. \n\nDoing things this way allows you to a.) reinforce what you learned that day, and prepare for future studying so that you don't have to condense a notebook into flashcards in a lump and b.) will allow you to study all of your subjects continuously throughout the week. It also helps keep me from feeling overwhelmed, since I just build each night little by little. \n\nFor papers, the best tip I ever got was to write the meat first and leave the opening and closing paragraphs for last. I write a paragraph or two a night until the paper is complete. " ]

To them it's as if it's your fault that you won't put up with thier behaviour. \n\nStick to your guns when this happens be direct and honest with people and explain that you don't want to be treated it this way. If they refuse or promise to do better but then repeatedly violate your boundaries cut them loose or atleast limit your interactions with people like this.", "The best thing to do is manage or avoid the techniques they might use proactively, by finding out in advance of any serious interaction if they are manipulative, and then controlling the circumstances of how you might have to interact with them from them on if you can't avoid them.\n\nOne way is to ask others that have had a history of contact with that person about them, and watch their body language and how long it takes for them to choose their words. This works particularly well in something like an office environment where you may be forced to work with someone that you suspect might not have your interests at heart.\n\nSomething like \"X seems like a nice person\" will make someone blister you (and them) if they're not particularly diplomatic, or squirm to find an inoffensive but not entirely dishonest response if they are a diplomatic person or are in an environment where they have to watch their tongue (i.e. work). \n\n(Yup, this does raise the risk that the person you're asking is manipulative and they're using your question to poison you against the target... so be aware that this could be a possible outcome and use your own rational analysis to verify whether that's the case.)\n\nHow to deal with them at the office is to WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN. Have a written audit trail of emails, notes and status reports that fully covers your interactions with that person. Do not speak to them alone, speak to them in groups and take meeting minutes when you do, then type them up and archive them with a timestamp. At the end of any interaction, confirm any action items they're going to take away so they can't worm out of it. And follow the office rules yourself about things like expenses, time away from the office, and so on. This usually keeps you fairly safe.\n\nHow to deal with them outside of the office, say if they're the new partner of a friend of yours, is to deny them any ammunition. Don't talk about others within any sort of earshot of that person, and remain completely honest in your opinions as lies are easy to use against you.\n\n*(Note: this sounds paranoid, and truly manipulative people aren't that common.

Find a set of nicely written letters (e.g., [like this](http://www.memoriapress.com/images/book_images/NAC/nac-complete-alphabet.gif)) and copy them. Spend a lot of time and paper on each letter. Try to copy it exactly. Copy it until it's easy, second-nature. Move on to the next letter. Takes time, but yeah, basically: practice, practice, practice.\n\nEventually, you'll be stringing these letters together, and you may get hung up on certain ones. That's OK! Take the time to write them with purpose. Eventually, those letters will become the ones you add your own little flourish to, since you spent extra time on them, and they'll be the signatures of your own, personal, beautiful style.\n\nSomeone mentioned writing with your arm/elbow, rather than with your wrist. That helps as well, at least with easing your muscles and keeping you from tiring (which hurts the handwriting). Write in a position that allows your elbow to rest on the table.\n\nLastly, it doesn't hurt to study the handwriting of others. If someone's handwriting strikes you as particularly good, take a second to really look at it.

[ "On update2... I'm sorry, I used to have a partner like this and it can be crushing. Set a boundary by either cleaning in their absence or telling them that if they want it done their way, they will have to do it themselves. Try not to say it harsh, and explain that this is all you have the bandwidth to accomplish. Remember, before you assume you are depressed, make sure you aren't just surrounded by as...erm, I mean negative people", "1) don’t clean - organize. Over the years I understood that keeping things clean is much easier and takes a lot less time when things are organized. \n2) aim small, as someone said. Break it down into sections or functions or rooms - totally up to you. And handle as much as you can at the time. \n3) handle something every single day - no matter how small it is. Congratulate yourself every time you finish something \n\nGood luck! You can totally do it and your life will change!", "Set a timer for however long you can handle. Even if its just 10 minutes, clean your best on one specific area for that 10 minutes. You can do this more than one time a day, and if you put on upbeat music, extend it till the end of the last song... or the end of the set if you feel motivated enough. You can gradually extend it. Sometimes getting in touch with your anger can be a wellspring of energy that can be channelled into cleaning. If you are a natural extrovert seeing a friend will visit and talk while you clean as it can be energizing for an extrovert. \n\nBut sometimes all of your best efforts fail and you may have to resort to medication. Especially if your depression has a lot of physical manifestations, not just feeling down... ie... moving slowly, sleeping a lot.\n\nBest of luck... been there\n\n", "Look up @domesticblisters on TikTok. She also has a book called \"How to Keep House While Drowning\" that I haven't read, but I've heard very good things. If you don't want to buy a book and you don't want to use TT, she was a guest on the By the Book podcast (Bonus: KC Davis). ", "What I've found really helpful is splitting things up by sections. If the dining room table is cluttered, clean only the dining table. If it's a full room, split it up. First grab trash and throw that. Clothes, either hamper or if they need to be hung up, I leave them elsewhere but not the floor. Wiping down and dusting. Then any extras. And move onto the next.

I have been working my way through Critical Role during house chores for the past 1-2 years. Sometimes I look at the screen but I don't have to, only when there's something specific to see or a funny reaction someone made. I'm helplessly unmotivated without it, but mildly entertained with it.\n\nIt's just enough entertainment to distract myself from the apparent agony of folding clothes etc., but not so riveting that I have to concentrate on it to follow along. \n\nBut I do NOT let myself listen/watch it unless I'm actively doing housework. It works! Good luck.", "Sometimes helps to pick something easy to build momentum of wins. One thing leads to another, and if you can add cheer/fun to the game you’re playing, the time passes a lot easier.

How much can you pull off with some minimal reasonable effort in just 10-15min? Find out. It’s more than you think when you get to doing what’ll fit in a short time, that’s much easier than say what you’d plan for a 2hr block. A lot of small efforts done do more than a big one not done.", "It's helpful for me to do the easiest task first.\n\nI also prioritize the things that affect my mood the most. For example, I can tolerate some clutter, but touching sticky surfaces makes me feel gross. So I'll wipe the kitchen table before I organize the clutter. There's always a possibility I'll run out of energy after the first task", "for something you really hate to do, do it first to get it over with. give yourself a little treat at the end of your chores, whatever that looks like for you.", "I too struggle finding motivation to work on projects. \n\nFirst make sure that your basic necessities are met. Food sleep and water. If you are not very active, try doing light exercise to increase your overall stamina.\n\nWhen working on big projects, I find it motivating to breakdown the projects into tasks by making a list and checking it off as I go. It gives me a sense of progression and gives me an idea of how long each task will take, and what I can reasonably accomplish withing that time frame.\n\nAlso, get some sun while you can. Lack of vitamin d leads to all sorts of medical complications which include depression.", "put on a long form video about a topic you like, listen while you work, just throw stuff out you don't need and organize whatever's left, just do it. people over obsess over how hard cleaning can be, it really isn't just do it. we're all human beings capable of thought, cleaning a mess is pretty easy once you get down to it its just that initial barrier of thinking you don't want to, set an ultimatum in your mind and get on with it already", "The best motivation for me to clean is expecting other people to come over. It could just be to stop by, for a game night, anything. I try to do plan one social thing a weekend or invite people over. Even if they don’t come over or plans fall through, I have already manically cleaned my house 😅", "People are so thoughtful to spend their time putting this information together to share/help others. Thanks everyone!", "Make a list or even just one thing that you have but cant find because your place is such a mess. Then focus on that. I find cleaning much easier when I am on a scavenger hunt of sorts.\n\n\\+ putting on something to listen to", "I finally succeeded today! Yehaw! (No, I’m\nNot from Texas.) (Nor some kind of cowgirl.) All of that pain in the last three weeks, beating myself up, afraid I’m going to enter some kid of completely non-functioning world, which was terrorizing me. And then in one day, finally, I got so much done. I’ll have to think what made the difference today that made me succeed and I’ll update this post! Life is so tough, and I definitely know I’m my worst enemy at wanting so much more from myself than I am able to do. I know acceptance is key. I’m just not able to do it. I want my life back and I’m not okay with this life of being disabled. When you are disabled like I am, it is my disability that totally controls my life. I have like 15% control.

It will catch up to them.\n\nWatch out for \"I'll do something for you or give you something\" and then they back out of the deal, that's another one I notice. Greediness shows. There will be a lot of fake promises.\n\nSometimes I think fuck having to have my guard up all the time, but the moment you let it down, you're going to be someones door mat, especially if you are a person with a good heart. It's better to keep your guard up and not get played instead of regretting it after you get played. Trust me. \n\nI'll repeat it again, TRUST YOUR INSTRICTS. Every time I haven't I regretted it. \n\n" ]

[ "1) Flip flops usually do not help with foot odor because of the material of which they are made out of and because of their design. Most flip flops are made of materials which do a poor job of keeping your feet dry. Also, because you're not wearing socks (hopefully), a barrier of sweat protection is taken away. Lastly, you may think that flip flops being open and airy would keep your feet cool (which does happen), but that open airiness also helps odor escape.\n\n2) Wash your flip flops and feet regularly. They'll help keep them cleaner and less smelly.\n\n3) If your flip flops smell really bad, wash them, dry them, and them put them in a big in your freezer over night. The cold will destroy the odor-causing bacteria.\n\n4) Baby powder will also help keep your feet dry and less smelly.", "The problem is indeed probably sweating, or more particularly, the fact that your feet stay moist when you sweat and provide an excellent breeding ground for odor-causing bacteria. \n\nLeather padding is only likely to retain the moisture (encouraging bacterial growth) and trap the odors, rather than helping with it, and it can't easily be washed, so leather flip flops might be the worst possible option for you. Wearing socks (cotton breathes best) would help, since those can be washed, though you'll have to be ok with looking like a stereotype of an engineer for that to be an option with flip flops. \n\nMainly what you want to do is wash your feet regularly (probably daily, if it's bothering you), and use a drying anti-odor powder or spray of some kind (spray-on antiperspirant would work for this, if you prefer). You may also want to consider getting some plastic shoes that you can rinse off regularly.", "My mom swears by this: get a basin or whatever and fill it with tea (yes the kind you drink). Soak them for a while (15 minutes or longer if you want..scrub them puppies too since you're there already). There's something in the tea that naturally closes up your feet sweat glands and reduces your sweating DRASTICALLY. From my understanding she got it from China by way of Dr. Oz (lol). \nAnd if you're lazy, buy some spray deodorant and blast your feet everyday. Deodorants job is to keep things dry right?", "**Put baking soda all over your feet.**\n\nThis stuff alters the pH of your skin to something that bacteria can't really live in. Also: if you've got a pair of stinky shoes, pour some baking soda in and shake it all around in there. If the footwear is truly horrible, put them in a big ziploc bag and stick it in the freezer for a couple of days.", "What works really well for me, is stepping onto a small, clean towel after the shower, drying my feet while not stepping off of said towel, and putting on clean, new socks. If your shoes are stank-tacular, toss them in a freezer bag and put them in your freezer for a few days, then spritz lightly with a color safe bleach to kill any survivors. Maker sure to test the bleach on a bit of the fabric first, like on the back of the tongue of your shoe. Replace any inserts every year or so. ALWAYS have socks on in enclosed shoes, and wash your shoes every six months. " ]

Is there something that you could GET passionate about?\n\nBecause work is less than a third of your life.

It is the process of school. What you are feeling is not uncommon. I called it my grad funk. Looking back I realize that my question was too big. What to do with my life! \nSo dabble here and dabble there. Join a professional group and go to the meetings and network as much as feel is right. Volunteer at someplace you already feel comfortable.

Remember life is stepping stones. There is no big everlasting commitment.", "Do your research and be proactive! Community colleges often have career centers that you can go in for advice. Have them look over your resume. Talk to friends, relatives, acquaintances, etc. and ask what they do and what they like/dislike about their jobs. Do you agree? Look at job postings online -- glassdoor, monster, linkedin. What sounds interesting? Apply! Not qualified? Email or call people with cool sounding jobs to see how they got there.

[ "Just talk to them, and be excited about what they tell you. I spent 30 minutes at my future MIL's birthday party bouncing a balloon to my fiance's niece and nephew in the kitchen, trying not to let it hit the floor. I made big exaggerated sounds (kind of like drunk adults playing giant Jenga) and laugh along with them.\n\nThe more they think you're interested in them, the more they'll open up to you, with the exception of naturally shy kids.\n\nYou can also try keeping a cool trick in your back pocket. I used to have a small bottle of bubbles with a bubble wand that ended up in my purse and just stayed there. So I'd distract the kid (\"Hey, look over there!\") blow a bunch of bubbles, and when the kid turned around I'd pretend like I didn't know where they came from.", "/u/iownakeytar 's suggestion of \"be interested\" is really the core.\n\n- Ask them questions. You can start with \"what are you doing there?\" \"Can I play, too?\" \"What is your favorite ___?\"\n\n- Don't try to mold the play into what you want to do, mold yourself into what they want to do.\n\n- Be silly. Make silly faces and silly sounds. Be willing to do something embarassing (like wearing a pink boa and gigantic sunglasses). Some kids will really respond to this, and others won't, but doing the unexpected will often make kids laugh.\n\n- Do stuff that their parents can't/won't/are just tired of. My friend has a 5 year old, and he loves to play trucks/trains/swordfights. He has a lot of energy and loves to run and throw. His parents are tired of it, of course, so they're not that interested in getting down on the ground, chasing him through the house, etc. It's not that they don't do those things ever, but when you do that every weekend for years on end, I'm sure it loses its luster. (Of course, be careful not to break any house rules-- don't give the kid chocolate if his parents' rule is no sweets, for example).", "I found that children (even small children) do not always appreciate being talked to like small children. I use my adult voice on them, but do talk to them about the things they like. Some adults just try too hard and end up being ignored by kids. \n\nAlso, make them laugh. Some kids like slapstick. Others like if you pretend to be scared when they yell 'boo'. Either way, if you appear to be funny, they will feel comfortable around you.", "Some kids really struggle with open ended questions. Ask questions that either have a yes or no answer to start off with, then move into things they can give one word answers to. \nE.g.\nDo you...\nLike the beach?\nLike school?\nThen...\nFavorite color?\nWhat grade are you in?\nHave many friends?\nWhat are their names?\n", "Some kids really struggle with open ended questions.

That will confuse the shit out of them. ", "If you are having trouble with kids, step back and think of them as tiny drunk people and it will seem more manageable.", "I like to think that I'm one of those people who is just good with kids in general. Sometimes it feels like I give off an aura that they just sense, which can be true to a degree. People, even kids, can sense when you are tense or angry and just not having a good day. Those days can be harder, but the point is going into talking/playing with them with a positive attitude makes a lot of difference. \n\nAs others have said, pay attention to them. Most kids just want to be seen and heard. Like was mentioned also shy kids are different, I was very much a shy kid growing up. But taking it slower with them and just getting to know them and what they like to do will go a long way. \n\nOf course the age of the kid can make a difference also. Younger ones usually like to be very active where as teenager types like to talk more. \n\nOver all a lot of it is just finding what the kid likes to do and doing it with them, making sure you both are actively participating. ", "Have some kid jokes to tell\n\n Be excited about what they tell you or at least smile\n\nCool magic tricks like making small objects disappear helps\n\nTake interest in their lives like you would with an adult.\n\nTell them interesting facts about the world I've found things like space or animals really interests them.\n\n\n\n" ]

[ "We get the same thing here. What we've found is if it's humid air, moving that air around really helps because evaporation doesn't work well in humid spots. \n\nBuy a pedestal fan and leave it on \"low\" when you're trying to sleep or work in your loft. \n\nAnd if it's hotter inside than outside your room and you have two windows, open them both and put the fan so it faces inward at a window and pulls the cooler air in. \n\nIf it's hotter outside than inside, keep your windows closed instead.", "There was a gif on the front page a couple days ago with a kid inside some sort of sheet being inflated by a fan. It sounds silly but thats what I did as a kid during the summer and it works. I had a full size bed, I grabbed a queen size sheet, tied one corner to a [box fan](https://www.amazon.com/Holmes-HBF2010A-WM-21-Inch-4-5-Inch-Speed-Settings/dp/B0037W4YD2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1472140796&sr=8-1&keywords=box+fan) and tucked the rest of the sheet into the bed. When you turn on the fan it inflates the sheet and you can get under there and sleep. I would even take it as far as putting a small TV in there with me, and basically turning my bed into an inflatable fort.", "Yeah for cooling on the cheap, buy a pedestal fan and point it directly at you. Drink some cool water helps too obviously but not going to help at night.\n\nWhen the air is humid the only thing that really works is direct air circulation on and around you to evaporate the sweat and water off you.\n\nYou can also buy an indoor / outdoor wireless thermometer with indoor and outdoor humidity sensors. Start to keep an eye on it so it can help you decide if it's better to open windows or close them. Often times in hot humid climates it's better to leave the windows closed up during the day and only open at night.\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/AcuRite-00611A3-Wireless-Thermometer-Humidity/dp/B001B35APA/\n\nObviously if it's hotter and more humid outside than inside you do not want to open the windows.", "Few things:\n\n1. Turn appliances on lower settings. For every bit of heat removed to cool a refrigerator, it has to create even more heat. Therefore, turn the temperature UP on your fridge/freezer for minimal heat creation. Also, turn your water heater down so 100% hot water is cool enough to touch.\n\n2. Air flow. Box fans in the window are fantastic for moving air in an entire room. One key thing to keep in mind is wind direction outside. You want to set up your fans to work WITH the wind. Otherwise it'll just whirl the air around and get nowhere. Avoid pointing fans towards each other too.\n\n3. Humidity control. When you take a hot shower, keep the bathroom fan on. Minimize hot water use (dishwasher, etc), and use a dryer as opposed to hang drying clothes.\n\n4. Window AC units. You can usually get new ones around $100 USD new or half that used. Honestly, they're way less hassle to install than you'd expect and they can easily cool 500 sqft effectively . ", "Had a similar experience in university. I used to take the coldest shower possible. I mean full blast cold water, until your teeth are chattering! When you can't take it anymore carefully lightly dry off, walk slowly to your bed and lie down (naked) with the windows open.

The cold one causes the pores in your skin to close -limiting your body's cooling process, whereas a hot shower opens those pores up - add a hot drink & you jump-start your bodies cooling response. This was actually the winning suggestion for how to keep cool in a contest that took place at around the start of the 20th century (per popular science archives article).\n\nIf you have a basement, draw cooler air in from there, leave interior doors open, and use an attic fan to push the warmer air out. As other comments note: keeping the air moving is key d/t the humidity.\nHowever you arrange it, the cool air should be drawn in, and the hot air pushed out.\n\nYou could modify your home & its surroundings as well (i.e. paint the house a light color, plant shrubs around the base, grow a shade tree near the southwest corner, add those special screens to sun-side windows, etc.). I presume anything that costs money isn't really an option for you, though, since you could just buy a window a/c unit - as other comments have pointed out, they're typically not overly expensive.", "Could make a redneck chiller type thing.

I left it out one day and the dog decided it was the best thing ever so I let him sleep on it instead.\n\nIt's basically a thick plastic bag with a thin layer of foam inside. You fill i it with water and seal it up then use it as a pillow. The water draws the heat away from your head. Eventually the water warms up over the course of the night and it stops being affective but by then you're asleep and don't care.\n\nAs long as the temperature is below about 26°c you should be able to sleep ok with a gentle fan to prevent warm air building up on your skin.

Here's my strategy:\n\n1. Open ALL windows at night. All of them. Put up flyscreen if the mosquitos are bad.\n2. Fan. Get a fan, get that air moving, especially if you don't have a good cross draft. Get one to move the air in your bedroom especially so you can sleep.\n3. If you don't have outside blinds on your windows, get blackout blinds for inside. Those are the roller blinds that don't let any light in at all. \n4. In the morning, close all the windows and pull down all the blinds. This traps the cool air inside and stops it from heating up again as quickly.\n5. In desperate times, wet a cloth diaper or dish towel and drape it over the fan unit.

Take two thin sheets and soak them and then wring them out. Sleep between them naked.

Sleep on your back with your legs spread and your arms to your sides or above your head.\n3. Have a floor/box fan blowing at your feet.", "Indian here. We used to manage our summers without an AC (couldn't afford). Some tips:\n\n1. Just keeping a pedestan fan in your bedroom won't help. You need to create an air flow. Air must come in to your house thru bedroom and go out thru some other room (kitchen/hall/bath). The best is to keep two pedestal fans: One pulling in air thru bedroom window, and one turned in reverse (pushing out air) in the other room. This will make a HUGE difference compared to just using one single fan. In arid/desert areas, a cloth dipped in water is throw over the fan. But don't do this if you are not in a desert. It will just increase moisture and make you sweat more.\n\n2. Thick mattresses makes your body very hot. Either move your mattress to the floor and sleep on it, or use a thin mattress. We use [folding plastic beds](http://lmgtfy.com/?q=indian+folding+plastic+bed), our ancestors used [rope beds](http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rope+bed) (still used in villages and farms today), and in extreme hot temperatures we sleep on [straw mats](http://lmgtfy.com/?q=indian+straw+mat) on the floor.\n\n3. Dress material. Today's synthetic cotton is pretty bad and gets wet and soggy very fast in the night. We use [Khadi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khadi) and women use Silk a lot during summer, it makes the body cooler while wicking perspiration away. Just see if you can get any wicking dress material other than plain synthetic cotton. We also have some weird looking [night dresses](http://lmgtfy.com/?q=lungi) that are really airy :)\n\n4. Cooling the insides (not just outside shower). Drink some yoghurt, coconut water, [buttermilk](http://lmgtfy.com/?q=buttermilk), lime or orange juice before sleeping. Don't know if its myth, but we believe chilled stuff upsets your tummy during summer especially in the night, so we prefer it at room temperature.\n\n5. We have summer hairstyles, aka really short hair during summer. Having a lot of hair is a sure way to becoming an \"irritated hothead\" in summer :) I pity our women though, they usually don't have this choice because of societal tradition to have long hair :(", "In addition to having a fan blowing air across you, get a spray bottle and spritz yourself with water every now and then. ", "In Louisiana our solution is to never live in a house or apartment without air conditioning. Soooo...move?", "If you live in an older house ( many built by sea captains in the Netherlands) there may be a \"Scuttle Vent\" on the roof. It was a popular form of house ventilation in past centuries. If it is there, open the vent, open the access and open the door to your room. The heat rising from the bottom floors will create a chimney that sucks the cool air from the lower floors upward , I lived in an old house (top floor)in the Fl Keys that had this and it makes a huge difference.\nhttps://www.google.com/search?q=scuttle+roof&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiRk_yVpt3OAhXIsh4KHVPYBcUQsAQIKg&biw=1433&bih=907&dpr=1", "If you do go the box fan route.

This works even better if you have two windows on two different Walls. Remember 1 in and one out. People will think it's strange but this has never failed me.\n", "I'm in a similar situation. I fixed 75% of my problem by getting a [window fan](https://www.amazon.com/Bionaire-Reversible-Airflow-Window-Control/dp/B000065DKJ). It's cheap and it forces air from the outside in. If you just stick a fan in front of the window it doesn't really draw any air in, it just circulates the air that is already in the room.\n\nThis fan will cool my room to the outside temperature in less than 10 minutes. It's amazingly effective.\n\nThe model I linked also has a thermostat. I set my temperature to about 72 degrees F, so when I leave for work, it will turn itself on if the inside temp goes above that.

My personal issue was that all the heat was staying above the window/ventilation level. \n\nI'm not sure if this applies to you, but if it does, what really helped was to get a floor fan to blow up the cool/fresh air from the floor (below the window level), and to get the hot air down to a level where it could escape via the windows.\n\nDoing this can make the apt feel hotter initially, as the hottest air is now \"body level.\" But over time and as the heat escapes via windows, it will make the apt. cooler.", "I live in a desert climate so this may not work as well for you.

I can wait and find someone worth my time. \n\nJust go through the motions of life. Force yourself to hang out with friends and keep the really good friends that actually care about you. Keep your relationships with them and youll be able to have them around when your feeling shitty. ", "Get into your favorite hobbies and before you know it you'll be surrounded by everyone who loves to do the same things you do. ", "A lot of comments about improving yourself. I recommend doing this with hobbies, productive ones and even expensive ones you're interested in. \n\nI say this because I'm married now, and once you *do* meet someone and start a family... your time and money will be preciously spent, probably not on hobbies. The year I got my first real job I bought my dream les Paul, an upright air compressor and tools, and took a trip to a couple countries most people wouldn't visit but I sure enjoy. I still have the guitar, tools, and memories but I sure as hell couldn't do those things now. It's a 'grass is greener ' type thing. \n\nIt's perfectly okay to be selfish right now and focus just on you, one of the few times in life you can say that. Use it! It won't stop the loneliness, nothing will, but people with hobbies and travel are also much more interesting! ", "Pick up online multiplayer games, realize human race is terrible, order an escort service, cry self to sleep ", "If you're open to considering, take psychedelics. I'm serious. It's not for everyone, so check out your family history of mental disorders and if you're already schizophrenic don't even think about it. BUT if you want to give it a go, and have some friends who can help you do it safely, it will help you discover a lot about yourself and the world around you, and how those concepts aren't really two separate things at all. It breaks down your ego and reveals truths that can very much help with what you're talking about but are kind of hard to explain in words.\n\nAlso just think about how short life is, and how this life is the only one we know we've got. Are you going to spend it pining over various people in various ways, hoping to goodness they'll return the feeling and spending your days in a state of unending longing, or are you going to use your time to make a positive change in the world? Are you living for yourself or for other people? (Try living for yourself first, then other people can benefit from the love you show to yourself and eventually embody.) The love will come if you are love, if you embody it and project it. That's all you can do. You can't make people love you back, but they will to some extent (perhaps not the kind or extent you predicted or hoped) if you project love in a confident, unwavering, purposeful way. Basically instead of getting caught up in the disappointment love can bring, focus on intentionally creating ripples of positivity in your own communities, and thinking about the bigger picture of what it means to love openly and karmically." ]

(doing this can actually make your situation MUCH WORSE. It can create actual knots, which is most likely not the case on your improperly stored cord)\n3. Find the tightest looking knot. Use your nails, teeth, knife, letter opener to attempt to loosen it up as best you can until it's not a knot, any more, but just a tangle.\n4. Repeat step three until there are no knots left, only nasty tangles.\n5. Look for the single stranded loops which are caught through other loops and tangles, you'll learn to recognize how their pairs stick together. Pass as many as these you can find back through the tangles creating very long single strand loops\n6. Periodically, make your hands like monster claws and tear/separate the entire mess as widespread as you can,\n7. Inevitably, this will create more tight knots, at which point, you must repeat from step 3.\n8. This is the hard part, which takes some trial and error and experience. You should basically have a gigantic plate of single layer spaghetti at this point. You have to look at this mess, and make a logical decision about what the next best move would be. Check out the ends, the big tangles, the close to knot parts, and go to town. If you feel you're backtracking at any point, take a look at the steps and retry.\n\nHope that helps!\n", "what i do is clear a space out for the whole jumbled mess and then pick a chord, trace it through the entire mess and then from one end start to weave it through the pile, rinse and repeat until they're all untangled", "Your misconceptions of the problem are precluding your awareness of the obvious solution. \n\nWhen a wire, let's say an extension cord, gets rolled up and put away, as the cord is being rolled up, it is being twisted 180° over and over. The wire isn't actually tangled, it is twisted up within its self.\n\nThere is only one wire. It has two ends. Endeavor to separate the two ends as far apart as possible until you hit a \"tangle\". At this first tangle, you probably have several feet of untangled wire on each side of the bunched up mess in the middle. One side will have a lot more wire than the other. Slide your left hand up the untangled wire on the left side of the bunch as far into the bunch as you can go until you feel a tangle. Also slide your right hand up the untangled wire on the right side of the bunch as far into the bunch as you can go until you feel a tangle. Now, holding the wire in each hand, pull your hands apart. The bunch of wire in the middle will unspin and several more feet of cord will magically untangle. Rinse. Repeat. ???\nYou may have to pass one end of the wire through the bunch one time at any point in this process to correct for some randomness. If you think you have to pass the wire through the tangle more than once to untangle it, all you are actually doing is tangling it more.\n\nTo prevent cords or wires from tangling in the future, as you roll them back up, give them a half twist at the top of each roll to counter the half twist incurred during the roll up. You will know you twisted in the correct direction if once you have rolled up the cord, it is a loosely hanging group of circles. If you twist the wrong way, the cord will twist its self into a figure eight shape.\n\nI'm not sure if that was a clear explanation or not, but I use this method to untangle about 3k xmas lights that my wife just throws into one big box together every year, and it only takes a few minutes at most.", "So I learned this in Boy scouts. Take the mangled mess, and just pull at it with both hands from both directions.

Hold with claw grip and rotate around spindle three times.\n3.move cable to staircase or hallway, a long clean space to work.\n\n4. Wrap cable onto spindle with the following perceptions :\n\n4.1 Cable knot : Stop. Keep loose. Work gently, pulling apart loops.\n\n4.2 Behind furniture : unwind the length and depth of the obstruction into a pile of loose cable next to it . Throw over obstruction and rewind.\n\n4.3 cable twists : rotate spindle left, if twists reduce continue. If amount of twists increases then rotate right. Hold finger on recently twisted cable while winding onto the roll.\n\n4.4 large loops on role : place finger just before loop, rewind off the spindle and reroll.\n\n4.5 Multiple Ends : use a second spindle from the other side of the cable.\n\n4.6 intercepting cable : make a loop big enough to pass the cable through the other cable.\n\n\nFinish : use low tack tape (it sticks well to itself only) , elastic bands or clear tape to bind ends.\n\nSource : 5 years experience as office furniture installer on secured sites including CPS, military bases, boots labs etc with 30+ miles of cabling and a culture of criticism", "A way to prevent your wires from getting tangled in the first place is by wrapping the wire in a circle around your thumb and elbow with one arm, while having the wire slide on the space between your pointer finger and your thumb. the reason wires tangle is because they are essentially pre-coiled when you wrap them, causing them to uncoil and twist up after you wrap them. when you slide the wire on this part of your hand it un-coils it as you wrap it, making sure the wire stays in place." ]

The difference between stagnant nonmoving air and moving air is staggering.", "You can buy reflective film for the windows that blocks all infrared. Makes a huge difference when the sun is shining on it. You get it from the same companies making window tint for cars. I did my living room windows in TN and my windows in NM.", "I can't think of anything with the shutter that you aren't already doing. Have it open as early in the morning as you can (cooler) and close it up later in the day when the suh starts hitting it.\n\nWhat I would suggest is figuring out a way to reduce the heat output of your computer. \n\nIf your GPU is rendering a higher FPS than your monitor can output, put a frame rate limiter on so the GPU (and CPU) don't have to work as hard (consume less power and put out less heat). Some games have a built in limiter that you can enable, but both AMD and Nvidia have options in their software. Alternatively is using MSI Afterburner with Riva Tuner (I only use Afterburner to monitor and graph the GPU and CPU stats, but Riva Tuner to show some stats like framerate in an overlay and it's ability to have a global frame rate limiter that is more fine-tuneable).\n\nAnother thing to consider is downclocking and/or undervolting your CPU and GPU. The GPU is the biggest power consumer and producer of heat so that is what I would start with. You may be able to give up 10% performance (underclocking and under volting) for 15-20% less heat output. Just undervolting alone can leave the performance alone, but the drop in power consumption/heat output will likely be limited to 10% or less.\n\nThe CPU may not be worth messing with since it consumes a lot less power compared to the GPU, but some tweaking can make a small difference.\n\nAlso, make sure that when you aren't actively playing a game that you close it out and don't let it run in the background (just producing heat for no good reason). If you aren't using your computer at all (like when sleeping), put it to sleep or shut it down. That turns off the monitor which on it's own produces a decent amount of heat too.\n\n" ]
