We can all agree that usually, we work on the content to brighten up your day and to cheer you up at the time you need it, dear Pandas. However, this time, we would like to share with you some posts curated by the 'Awful Everything' community, which is dedicated to the not-so-entertaining side of life.

In fact, the members of this group are all about the most upsetting, unjust, and ridiculous facts from day-to-day life. Covering various topics, starting with the problems of today's society, the abuse of power by the police force, healthcare issues, or simply the overall degradation of today’s world, the subreddit aims to point out what doesn’t work or works as it's not supposed to and open a discussion about it.

"Had to be strong" - well, sometimes you just can't be strong because you're only human and your mind is just as fragile as everyone else's.

This is not as clear cut as people think it is... it might not be fair (what is?), the employers will most likely never hire a disabled person if they will have to pay them the same and in a lot of cases a disabled person won't be as productive as an abled person. Its sad, but it is true

In everyday life, we often pay more attention to bad things and use strong words to describe them. But when it comes to good or just okay things, we tend to overlook them. Think about it: if you had a nice day at work but someone said something mean, what would you remember more—the good day or the hurtful comment?

Big Pharma is pure evil. Until the mid 2000's, asthma and COPD inhalers were exempt from the CFC propellant ban. 3 major pharma companies lobbied the government to include inhalers in the ban, just so they could introduce new versions (with a different propellant) that they could trademark, thus removing cheaper generic versions from the market for 10 years.

That sounds so scary! I'm sorry. I've also never heard of a medical provider asking for half up front for a diagnostic test. I know this is not what we're taught to do growing up in America, but could you try calling another hospital and see whether they have a different policy? I think not knowing the results could long term be scarier than knowing. Best wishes whatever you choose

Apart from being covered by insurance in any country with a sensible healthcare system, insulin is dirt cheap outside the US.

For everyone that is saying move to another country, it's not that simple. If you are already having issues paying for insulin, then how do you expect them to come up with the funds to relocate to an entirely new country? The amount of money alone it would take to move to another country would be a huge financial burden. The moving fees alone would be substantial. What about housing when they get to a foreign country? Also being an American citizen, how easy would it be to find a job? In the meantime, being a foreigner how long would it take to acquire healthcare? If you already live in Europe it's much easier to relocate to a different country in the EU. Even Canada has requirements and criteria you have to meet before you are even considered for citizenship. But for Americans it's not quite as simple as everyone thinks it is to just up and move across the ocean. So please, stop and think for a minute before you give advice on what you would do if it was YOUR situation.

🇨🇦Dr. Banting sold the instructions on how to derive the insulin and make it for use in humans to the University of Toronto for $1 because he believed it should be used to benefit all of humanity who need it. WTF happened to that? He’s been in his grave for decades. Please give this man a rest! He’s tired of spinning all the time.

This is a shame. Other people cut back on their medications because of costs and other criteria. This kid died because of concern for his family and that shouldn't be a reason for dying. Big pharma is responsible for this by their prices and total disrespect for the average person trying to survive. Prescriptions are outrageously expensive. I don't see their profits to their stockholders declining, I see total disregard for the prices of their medicines to the public, and no concern for the difficulties this causes the average citizen who needs medical prescriptions to survive. I had a prescription for a mole that cost me $100. I asked and the pharmacist told me that without insurance, it would have cost $1,000.00. How do we pay for this?

What can be said that people don't already know? This is a historic tragedy unfolding live before our eyes. Entire towns and villages ground to dust because of another nation's greed. I feel for the normal Russian population that doesn't agree with the war but in the end, they will end up paying the bill, while those responsible for all the death and horrors will live comfortably on some island or in a private mantion with a small army of guards till the end of their days.

There's been a huge uproar and protests against drunk drivers in my country after a series of accidents over the last few months (the most shocking of which was a 15 y.o. boy run over by an intoxicated jerk, while crossing the street). About 9 years ago, there was a really nasty accident in my hometown where a careless driver backed straight into a 2 y.o. kid (in a pedestrian zone). Alas, he didn't make it...
