Lightly though. Don’t want to damage the enamel during a knee jerk reaction.

I made this mistake once and felt terrible. I just keep all comments to myself now.

Agreed. It's not clear if OP meant completely, or just distancing from toxic people. Toxic people, absolutely; completely, not as a general position on mental health. (There's probably a small minority of people for whom this would work, but not many.)
But in terms of eliminating toxic people, family members aren't sacred here. If you have a parent, sibling, aunt, uncle, cousin, etc. who doesn't do your mental health any favors, it's okay to cut them out of you need to. Consider it carefully, but if it needs to be done, it's okay to do it.

You don't always need to brush your teeth with toothpaste. Most of the time it's for flavor. (Source - dental hygienist relative)
The friction removes most of it.

I don't have HDDs in my desktop. Just the server for backups, and it doesn't get turned off.

2-3 strips of bacon. I do 2lbs when the family is gone so I don't have to share

I just rather not comment on people's appearance, unless it's complimenting them on a piece of clothing or an accessory. Complimenting them on their style, rather who they are. I dislike it when people comment on my appearance, particularly if I look tired.

If you realize you are surrounded by toxic people maybe check on what you are doing to meet so many toxic people and recognize what you need to change too. Realized without actively seeking people out, unhappy people glom onto me.

So true! I have an office room and use it to do work or grad school hw. It receives amazing light during the day but at night the lighting is terrible due to the fan light being behind me. I bought this light from IKEA and omg, it’s been amazing. I place it right above my desk. It’s so good, I even turn off the fan light. Color of lighting matters. I don’t do well with yellow for productivity but it’s a great tone right before bed.

Terrible LPT. Most people struggle to connect with others and are prone to loneliness. Also most people have distancing behaviors that they aren’t even aware of. If anything, most of us need to spend more time with others not less.

Glad someone else got the rant out first.

Reply to LPT Request: Lots and lots of movies and series to enjoy, but I am left feeling unfulfilled and sad after a weekend, how do I convince my mind to stop craving for more and more by instant-sherlock
It might be you’re thinking too much at work. I’ve been doing more of a architecture/design role and it’s cool work wise, but honestly it’s exhausting. I was thinking about moving to either a QA role or an non on-call support role. Just something where the tasks are more repetitive.
I want to use my energy for me. I don’t want to give my best thoughts to work. I haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but I’ve been looking at postings.
