What is a Life Pro Tip?
A Life Pro Tip (or an LPT) is a specific action with definitive results that improves life for you and those around you in a specific and significant way.
Keep in mind that an aphorism is not a LPT.
An aphorism is a a short clever saying that is intended to express a general truth or a concise statement of a principle.
Examples of aphorisms:
"A barking dog never bites."
"No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible."
"All stones are broken stones."

Man though the Black Mirror nightmare scenario of devices being able to tell when you close your eyes or look away and the ad stops until you're looking. Let's hope we don't get there in real life any time soon.
I close my eyes and mute my device as an act of rebellion against our corporate overlords!
Jokes on you, that's what I already do!
What do you do when you are sitting in the waiting room to see your doctor and they insist on playing commercial radio?
Send them a letter explaining that the radio is bad for people with mental disabilities.
