Life lessons of the 60s and 70s

- recite your times tables so you don't forget
- don't over-sharpen pencils
- everyone hates the smart kid
- sometimes you will be punished for something someone else did.
- never leave a banana in your school case for more than one day
- do as you're told
- the satisfaction you get from conquering the big slippery dip outweighs the risk of breaking your neck
- Don't cry.
- Vaccines are a miracle. Be grateful.

You can’t fall off the floor.

Never crop screenshots. People must see your entire screen to see the content of one window taking up less than 1/10th of it.

Also, never right click/tap and save images. Always take full screen screenshots and don’t crop them.

Any form that has fields you can select and type in responses is best being printed, filled in by hand with pen, scanned, then faxed back to the company.

Your facebook wall is legally binding. Making a “I do not consent to (whatever)” post on your wall means all companies must comply with it.
