What is a piece of advice that people swear by but is actually quite terrible?

A lot of people think you can't eat or drink before having bloodwork drawn. You can, it just depends on what tests your doctor ordered.

If your doctor ordered any panel that requires measurement of glucose (such as in a BMP or CMP) or triglycerides (such as in a lipid profile) then yeah, you shouldn't eat if you want an accurate result. Otherwise it doesn't matter

There are a few specific tests in addition to glucose and triglycerides where eating may affect the result but most people aren't getting those measured so i'm not even gonna mention it

Don't stop believing.

You can stop believing. You can stop not not believing. Don't not stop believing.

Be yourself, it's not bad really I guess, just incomplete - be yourself if it's working out for you, if you want something different, for the love of baby Jesus change something!

Only make decision when you have post nut clarity... HR wasn't a fan of me at work for all the masturbating I had to do...
