Nearly 70 percent of Americans report feeling overwhelmed by the quantity of news coming at them from different platforms, and 56 percent of American adults say the media is a significant source of stress in their lives, according to the data shared by The Washington Post. What’s more, negative headlines have more than a 60 percent higher click-through rate than positive ones.
In our previous interview with Dr. Lise Deguire, a clinical psychologist and author of award-winning memoir “Flashback Girl: Lessons on Resilience From a Burn Survivor”, she confirmed that many people report their mood negatively affected by the news.
“Of course, the news itself tends to focus on negative occurrences. For example, the news will report on the terrible car accident that happened. They will not, of course, report on the thousands of people that safely drove that day. (Safe, happy occurrences are not usually considered news.) But, because the news focuses on so much on negative events, it can make us feel that only bad things are happening in the world,” Dr. Lise explained.
What if we gave a completely colourblind person all the different colours and let them pick paint based on how bright they appeared to them It would look like a mess to people with normal vision but to those who can only see in black and white it would actually look like beautiful painting Get what I mean? It's 5am for me, I'm not sure if I'm making sense
I think that might come out looking pretty damn cool for anyone who can see in color too!

If you don't even kind of look up to Bob Ross as a role model then you need to either have the best reason in the world, or go back to hell from where you belong.
There are plenty of these types. Cannot see beauty in anything and only see money or hatred.

My brother being a colorblind became a graphic designer! Thanks to new technology he learned colors by numbers. Nothing is impossible, just wanted to share it here 😊
Bob Ross made my heart sing. It's quieter here without him, but some happy echoes still remain.
Yeah, he's a popular streamer on that platform. Cabin chance 61% (or some other random number, haha 😆).

He features art that has been sent in by members of the public, including some that is made by people with disabilities such as severe visual impairment, etc. There are so many accessible ways to make art nowadays, and it's a huge shame on all of us that children have less and less time allocated to the arts at school.
bob ross is so great , he fought with only a paint brush in the service.
There are different shades of grey. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't paint.
We went to breakfast recently and my mom paid the check on her way to the bathroom. She bought a tin of Bob Ross Happy Little Tree mints. They are shaped like evergreen trees! With Sling we get a Bob Ross channel. So nice to fall asleep to! Relaxing.
Bob Ross, Fred Rogers, LeVar Burton, and Jimmy Carter. These are MY version of The Avengers.
Colorblindness isn't just seeing everything in shades of gray... but I get the point.
It doesn’t matter what colours you paint with , they are in your heart and mean everything to you
Moreover, the news often focuses on events that make us fearful, because when we are afraid, we tend to think we need to keep watching the news. “When my clients report anxiety, sadness or anger about the news, I often encourage them to limit their news/social media exposure,” the clinical psychologist said.
Dr. Lise argues that most of us can stay informed through a quick read of the headlines.“Having the news on in the background, or checking Twitter all day, often distresses people because the news almost always focuses on scary negative events and ignores positive ones,” Dr. Lise explained.
The good news is that we can all become more positive and resilient to negativity around us. “One way is to learn who or what makes us feel good, and who or what makes us feel bad. For example, my mood usually improves when I listen to music or go outside. My mood usually goes downhill when I stop exercising.”
Dr. Lise explained that all of us have activities that lift us up or bring us down. “The more aware we can be, the better choices we can make. Does it help you to dance? Write? Call a friend? Take a bath? See if you can figure out what is in your positivity ‘toolbox.’
That is awesome. Also, I hope he doesn't live in Florida. A bill will soon pass making it illegal (jail and 10k fine) for any person to use any public bathroom that's for the gender they look like and identify as. If you're trans man born a biological female, it will be against the law to use any men's room anywhere. By law he'll have to use the women's bathroom. What did you think mom's and dad's, what do you think your daughter will say when she sees that MAN come into the bathroom with her? Husbands? Would you be ok if that MAN walked in behind your wife? These goddamn stupid bills have got to stop...
When you use the wrong math formula but somehow end up with the right answer
I took this ride the other day and was so grateful for the silence. Then at the end of the ride when I was explaining to the gentleman where to pull up to I realized he didn't speak any English at all lol. You can be damn sure he got 5 stars.
It's obviously tired and probably had a very tough day, cut it some slack. You'd be sitting down too if you spent your entire day supporting everyone around you!
When I built my first computer I put 128mb of ram in it, the guy who waited on me at the store carried it in both hands. He had a giant smile on his face and kept saying "128 megabytes, 128 megabytes". You can't play solitaire with that amount of ram now.
I hope parallel universe me is doing better than the version of me in this dimension
"But it's nothing but a mistake!" "Yeah, which is why you're getting a failing grade."
I once came across a couple walking around with a cat on a leash. The cat was very friendly and didn't seem to mind the harness at all, and I got a pet a cat for several minutes :)

According to Bill Nye, the earth completes 1 revolution on its axis every 24 hours, and 1 revolution around the sun every 364 1/4 days. WHO doesn't love science?!
Sorry you're having a bad day, Philip Moderow. Upvoted to hopefully help you feel better.
The only time I experienced bathroom fear was when my 5 year old son went into a men's room by himself.
Ohhhh no. Oh no. Dude are you a flat earther? I thought the combined logic and shear magnitude of proof had finally overwhelmed and saved the very last one of you... 🤦 Ok, where should I start? How far down that flat rabbit hole are you?
