LPT: Listen to "Bohemian Rhapsody" through your speakers or headphones before you buy them. In terms of instruments and vocals, it has an entire range of highs and lows.

LPT: When a child hands you something to read, read it aloud. This will reinforce that you read it, and actually care.

i’m talking things like cards, school projects they want to show you, or small hobbies they may have. if you read it out loud, you’re showing that you care enough to read it. (if they’re younger, it’ll also show that reading aloud is not something to be shy about)

LPT: You are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value.

LPT: When buying/renting a home with a partner/friend, create a unique email account for that home and forward emails to your individual emails

When you find yourself buying/renting a new place with another person such as a significant other, create a new email account for that location then have it forwarded to your individual unique email accounts. Use the new email account when setting up your utilities and bills unique to the house.

This way you can both receive electronic bills, emails, and can easily reset passwords without waiting for the other. 2FA is the only potential speed bump to be concerned with here.

LPT: turn off "auto display images" in your email to stop hidden read receipt trackers

Tracking pixels are now commonplace, and these let a sender know that you’ve opened an email they’ve sent, plus the time and date that you did so. They can even see if you’ve forwarded the message to anyone else.

These are tiny bits of code that are usually hidden in images that are included in emails. When you open the email, they are triggered and send back the meta-data (it’s open, here’s when) to the sender.

Be aware though that this will only stop some from reporting on you. To safeguard your privacy fully, you’ll need to look at browser plug-ins.
