Share random advice that you think at least some people here will find helpful.

Random advice #1: If your toilet is plugged, fill a cap of liquid laundry detergent, pour it in your toilet and flush. If this doesn't work, repeat. If this doesn't work, pour a capful of detergent in a large bucket or pail, fill the bucket or pail up with hot water and quickly dump the water in your toilet. After doing this, try flushing your toilet.

^^ This has helped me out many times (and just did a few minutes ago). I love this trick.

Random advice #2: Eat lots of roughage and you won't plug your toilet.

Random advice #3 - if you shave often and never plan on getting a DE razor or straight razor, I suggest that to save money you should get disposable orange Personna razors which can be bought in packs of ten for a dollar at dollar stores such as Dollarama. They're identical to BIC disposables (they're made by the same company and use the same blades) and cost less than half the price.



The blades in these things are sharper than the blades you'll find in any other disposable and they're cheap as hell which makes them ideal.

Always look on the bright side of life

Sometimes you need a good, cathartic cry, scream, or something similar.

If you're into touhou, umineko, madoka, etc. I'd suggest the Soul Crushingly Depressing pool in danbooru, or perhaps the Heart Breaking pool in danbooru.

random advice #6

look both sides before crossing the road.

random advice #7

get toilet paper ready before you go pooping, that way you wont ever be stuck in the toilet without anything to wipe!

Random Advice #8:

At least once a week, do something that you enjoy (writing, painting, photography, running barefoot on sleeping horses, etc.). Something that you know you enjoy and that makes you better... But more than anything happier. Even when you don't like it at first, nothing worthy is always rose-sweet and likable. To be a pretentious douchebag and quote Kierkegaard "The task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble hearted"

To spin-off of this one. I say build a nice pyramid of toilet paper on top of your toilet. That way you always have a roll available. It is decorative and is there in case of an emergency.

Switch off the plug whenever you finished using the computer. It saves electricity,reduce usage of electricity, and hence, saves the Earth.

switch off light bulbs when you've finished in a room.

dont keep appliances on standby

don't drive when you can just as easily walk or take public transport to get there

don't litter, and never let plastics into the environment; it kills wildlife on land and in the ocean, where innocent animals may eat it, or become entangled

think before you buy, try to avoid contributing to the un-culture of buy and throw away that has become so common in the western world these days


Fix whatever leaky pipes out there, if there are any.
Check the water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, you probably have a leak.

Don't eat yellow snow.

Your cat is trying to kill you so be on your guard and set traps

Never eat raspberries.

People will ask "How are you?" or "How are you "Doing?". This is merely an expression and you should under no circumstances answer this question honestly. Answers such as "I feel like ripping off my arm and beating myself to death with it" should be avoided. Correct responses should be along the lines of "I'm fine, how are you?". When the other person responds to this you should try your best to appear interested in what they are saying. In a worst case scenario the other person might actually take your question as a cue to talk about some insignificant and uninteresting bullshit that has has happened in their life recently, but don't panic! Just nod your head and emit the odd "hmm" and the other person will think that you are actually listening to what they are saying while remaining blissfully unaware of just how little you fucking care.

I feel the same way about it, but after all luckily we can decide who to talk to at least to some degree. In recent years I have lost my fear to be rude a bit. I mean it's rude to talk someone's ear off too, isn't it? So why shouldn't I just tell the person to shut up, maybe in a nice way? Does the person care about my feelings when he or she tells me something that he or she may know doesn't affect me in the slightest? And how should the person learn that I don't want to talk about certain things if I never say so? I find it more complicated that people which you cannot get rid of for one reason or another and who are not close friends often talk about things they expect you to have to be interested in. When I'm outside I frequently listen to conversations that would absolutely kill me if I had to participate in them. To me telling a person that I'm not in the least interested in smart phones, commenting on other people's looks or making malicious remarks about whoever isn't present at the moment, feels like voluntarily stepping out of society, thereby alienating myself and possibly even making myself vulnerable to future attacks.

My feigned random advice is: you might reach a point at which there is nothing left to lose. If you become aware of it you possibly realize that just about every step you could take towards improving your situation is bound to succeed.

If you have nothing to say. Then post it in a forum and hide.

Random advice: If you hate where you live, tell yourself "It could be worse; I could be living in Iraq!"

Random advice: If you live in Iraq, GTFO!

This is exactly why I hate greetings. First of all walking up to somebody and demanding to know their emotional state is just intrusive. Then you don't even want a real answer.
I like what a guy on Simpsons said: "That's my personal information and you have no right to it."

learning more about Japanese uchi - soto has opened my eyes to greetings a bit more. now i'm more understanding of pleasantries rather than irritated by them. if someone is in the in group, you can speak honestly if you feel like but in the out group never do that, you're good no matter what. why should your troubles become the worlds to bear? do you really care about if they are doing terrible or good? you aren't the only one with problems you know. thinking about it differently really opened my eyes to what a self absorbed ass i had been in the past concerning pleasantries.

Believe me, I don't like telling people my problems and I don't see any reason why they should care. So why ask??

i usually respond with, "hello." i think the two greetings are pretty much equivalent in those situations when it's understood that they're not actually asking.

advice: hmm.... if you bite your nails, put a clipper on your keychain. i did this for a while and, i mean, i still bite my nails, but not to the point where they're ragged and torn to quick.

Random advice #whatever:
If you have a headache, chances are that you're dehydrated. Get water. Lots of it. Drink like an elephant.

I drink more water than anyone I know and still get fuckin' headaches all the time.

Almost everyone lives constantly dehydrated. You'd be surprised.

Not to be mean, but do you spend a lot of time in front of the computer? it might be because of that, specially if you use CTR monitor instead of an LSD one. As far as i know, the best cure for that one is to get up from the chair and looking at something that's not a screen for a time, preferably nature or getting out, just looking at the sky in your yard or similar should help .
