If you want a picture of someone genuinely smiling, don't just tell them to smile and take the picture. Give them a series of increasingly ridiculous or overly serious prompts and then have them "shake it out" between shots while joking around about the whole thing. Then, secretly take photos on burst during these in-between times. All of the tension falls away from the person and they get a goofy kind of high and you will get some truly great genuinely happy pictures.

This is a trick that a lot of professionals use and I figured I would share the love with the rest of the world for how they get those genuine moments on camera.

Read about this situation in another post, and wanted to comment on it. Whenever I hear an instance like this reported on the news, I get infuriated that the newscasters never relay information on what would be a simple, life-saving maneuver: SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL. Doing so basically disengages the engine from the driveshaft, all the while keeping power to the steering and, most importantly, the brakes. The driver maintains control of the car and is able to reduce speed and come to a stop. The engine can rev to 10000 rpm, but the car won't go anywhere. I believe this info should be spread to as many drivers as possible, could save a few lives going forward. Correct me if I'm wrong, credit me if it makes sense...

Feels like I’m stating the obvious but the obvious doesn’t seem obvious anymore.

Rugby in and of itself is a very social sport that attracts a lot of men of varying ages and backgrounds. After match/practice beers are basically required. It's also a tough sport where you form tight knit bonds quickly. Most city clubs have both a competitive and a social side. The social side is for newcomers usually or older vets who don't want to play smash mouth rugby anymore. I started playing when I moved to Chicago from across the country for a new job. Literally knew no one in the city and had not even done anything athletic in years let alone play rugby. By the end of the season I was back to running again and had a big group of friends many of whom I still talk to today (20 years later). Did the same when I moved to CA. Actually contacted the local club coach before I even arrived and the invited me out for beers my first night in town and showed me around. Still play with them to this day.

I found my dream dress recently, but the problem is it only comes in white, pink, purple and blue. I ordered white and while I LOVE it, I also want to have it in black.

The plan is to buy another white one and dye it black. It's a blend fabric though (79% viscose 17% poly and 4% elastane). I know the dye made for natural fabric won't take on the poly so what to do?

Should I dye it with regular dye and then again with synthetics dye? I'm going for a very dark solid black colour.

Basically the title. I’m in my early thirties. My birthday is coming up and thinking of what I want for it is feeling like if chores became homework before turning into a mandatory meeting that could’ve been an email. I’m the breadwinner in my household of two and the past few years have been pretty lean.

Last year was pretty fun. Just had a day of random shenanigans and taking adventure as they arose. This year I no longer have a car and things feel just a lean money wise. I’d like something to happen, and just letting it pass feels even worse than the weight of having to come up with something.

I just want to curl up into a ball for month and be left alone, but I know that’s not the answer. Any ideas you folks can offer? Doesn’t have to be specific. It could be advice on how to choose something. Anyways, thank you.

If you end up in a car accident and hit your head in the seat the hair claw clip can get lodged into the back of your head and cause serious head injury (even if it's a small accident).

I’m going to spend 4th of July at the lake with my girlfriend’s family, but I am also a terrible swimmer. I was hoping to find something like swimming trunks with air pockets or something built in, but was disappointed to find that those don’t exist.

Is there anything else I could buy that is discrete (ie not a life jacket) that could help me be more buoyant in the water?

LPT: Use block planning for managing your time like you did in school.

Plan your time into blocks of time like when you went from class to class with diff subjects.

Add in rewards Like when we were kids we could go out for recess if we finished our class work.

plan tasks in advance adding in down time along with un-fun tasks so your brain will know it’ll be rewarded after the undesirable task is complete . No down time unless undesirable tasks are done first

I work in engineering leadership, around hour 6 during the day I feel pretty burnt out. Sometimes I need a long break, a nap, some exercise or I'll make up the remaining hours on the weekend. I don't love extending my work into the evening or weekends though as I feel it leads to longer term burnout. Any suggestions?

Hey y'all. I am a 23 year old F. I moved abroad where English is their first language. I have always been an A student in life and always been a hard worker. But unfortunately after moving countries I have always felt the language barrier. It's like I'm good at it for some days and then suddenly I'm not. I struggle to openly express myself because of that. Please give some suggestions how can I work on it? I want to ace English language so I can avail more opportunities for myself. Thanks in advance.

Sadly I’ve had 3 carpenters try and pass things off as their own. Really does reflect their honesty and trustworthiness in my opinion

Original Title: LPT Brush your pets if you’re expecting visitors. Your visitors will want to pet your dog or cat when they arrive and will probably spread loose hair over your living space if the pets haven’t been brushed.

This is about your emotional posture toward "evil" in society and those who perpetrate it. When navigating your worldview and beliefs about how humanity/society/the world should change, be very cautious when it comes to hate. Suffering should diminish and those who create it should be stopped, but if you find your self promoting or fantasizing their death or suffering, it indicates that you are on dangerous ground, psychologically.

Take the time to reassess your feelings, frame your beliefs from a more rational standpoint, and don't give in to the urge to dehumanize others. It will feel justifiable to you in the moment, but indulging that can only lead to more harm down the road. If someone you know encourages those feelings in you, be aware that you are being radicalized.

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

Let my animal see my dead body.

I'll keep this short. I'm a goalkeeper (soccer) and I know I have a lot of potential to potentially take it to a bigger stage than high school. I currently play for a team that takes up a lot of time (sometimes up to 10-15 hours a week). School year will start up in about a month and a half and I'll be having a job while juggling school and soccer. I don't know if I can handle all of that and something in the back of my mind is telling me to quit soccer, focus on making money, get good grades, and focus on my future. I'm torn because I love this sport and I want to play for my country but a part of me wants to pave the way for a comfortable future for myself.

I bought a container of the in wash scent boosters for laundry and a spray bottle. 3 tbsp per bottle and mix with warm water and you have an awesome fabric refresher spray!

Where I live, I pay about $16 for the scent boosters and so far have gotten nearly 20 bottles worth and still have about 1/2 left. Store bought fabric sprays cost between $5-8 dollars each

The title says it all. No one should have to be criticized in front of their peers or others in general, even if the criticism in question has some truth to it. I promise you it’s only going to do more harm than good.

I am 18m male. I have been suffering from insomnia since I was 14y. I have been going over 2 years to gym, progress has been slow because I have dieted much and was not smart with those diets, at first year I wasnt eating enough protein and this year I have been on calorie surplus and eaten enough protein and has seen slight increase in progress, but others who have started gym year ago have made more gains than I have ever. I am everyday trying to get sleep more but I cant? What to do? I have sleep meds, I eat enough vitamins and take magnesium etc and go to gym 3x a week, every muscle group is trained 2x a week. Is it even possible to build muscle when I have insomnia?
