Generally in society men are not expect to be happy. They’re expected to have a job, wife, kids et cetera provide, “be a man” but happy doesn’t come into the equation. Just look at the lack of mental support for men specifically. This goes to the just man up type of attitude which is prevalent. Thankfully, this is changing but not quick enough.

im relatively happy. i have what I call "points" in my life. they last for a couple months each, and they switch between "high points" and "low points". Ive been at a high point for the last month. it'll probably change sometime in the summer, but im doing good in my life for now.
Molly Whuppie 2 years ago
In my experience at least, most people who ask if you are happy don't really want to know the real answer to that. So if you are going to ask someone, whether it's someone you just met or someone you have known for a while, be prepared to hear that the answer might be No.

Plus a lot of inhumane travesties. I wanted to kick out my now-ex's aunt after we ended up in a topic of the Holodomor, cos I had just learned about it, as my mom was going through our family genealogy history on our Ukrainian side. She said it wasn't "that bad if it wasn't talked about" and "it wasn't a genocide" as "not enough people died". There are people who think it wasn't manmade. Makes me mad but their opinions don't change history nor do they cancel out the information that's out there. As long as you know the truth that's all that matters to you. There's so much information, commemoration and first hand accounts of these horrors, you'd think they'd know. It seems as though they think acknowledging how bad something is would be over-reacting, and over-reacting is ridiculous to them. Or they're in disbelief anyone in the world could be that cruel, or they think that there was some sort of nonsensical reason for something that bad to happen to a large group of targeted people.

Some people may not conform to society's definition of 'good-looking', but that does not mean that we should automatically assume that they are monsters.

There was a movie made in the early 70s, I think, about this. She was the only survivor and was infested with tsetse fly larva. These little nasties plant their eggs under the skin and slowly the larvae emerge as the tissue dies. At one point she found or was found by an indigenous tribe that helped remove some of these parasites. Her father was a research scientist in the jungle and that's where she was headed. They reunited and she spent a decent amount of time in the hospital while being treated for malnutrition, parasite infestations, etc. I remember seeing the movie a couple of times as a pre-teen in the late 70s so I could be misremembering some of the details.

The photo is "blind girl" taken in Hiroshima by Christer Strömholm. He took haunting pictures of the victims of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The close-up of a blind girl with scars on her face is surely the most well known of the series. Once seen, it is never forgotten. Like most of Strömholm’s photographs, this one seems unpolished and shadowed, since it was taken spontaneously and in the light available. Using the existing light was a central credo to him. Disturbingly, Strömholm confronts the viewer with a reality that is taboo and all too eagerly repressed. He lets the viewer experience unadorned human suffering without compromising the dignity of those he portrays. The girl stayed anonymous..The photo is often claimed to show the face of a girl blinded by the nuclear bomb. This seems unlikely, since the girl appears younger than 18 years. It is also possible that the photo was taken earlier but not published until 1963.

Yeah it's not unfeasible at all, if you have a long living relative and some young-ish parents in the family line. I, too, have a 4 generational photo of me, my dad, my granny and my daughter. I think my mom has a photo of me, my mom, her grandma and my daughter. I believe my great grandma passed away 5 years later. (My grandma... wasn't an integral part of the family when she abandoned her kids long ago.) I find multi-generational family photos neat. I find it grating when people look at them and all they can think of is "oh, they're a family of teen parents. They couldn't possibly have a good life." instead of the beauty and fascination of what it is, a generational family photo.

There is trouble in the outlying areas in Papua New Guinea. Some tribes have reverted to their traditional diet of cannibalism. Not all traditions are healthy.
RedMarbles 2 years ago
It isn't the Korowai tribe's "traditional diet." They kill and eat men they believe have been killed and inhabited by a male witch they call a khakhua. It's not meant to be food. It doesn't sound like it's known whether they reverted to the practice or never stopped, but I'd guess it's the latter.

I'm pushing 40. When I look back at my photos of me any time before 28 I look much younger, and people are shocked to learn I have an adult daughter. I'm not sure what's really the big deal about looking young and having a child. Looking/being young doesn't determine how good of a parent you are. Which in relevance to this lady, North American Indigenous people had every reason to worry. They were deemed as "unfit" parents, had their children apprehended at gun point. Maybe not at gun point, today, but child apprehension still disproportionately happens to the Indigenous and Metis people to this day, and parents are more heavily scrutinized of their abilities to parent than any other culture and race.

An often overlooked factoid about the Mount St. Helen's eruption is that it caused a massive tsunami in the lake near the volcano.

I'm not sure how anyone who reads about the eruption after the fact, would be able to consistently overlook that fact when researching/learning about the eruption. -- The remains of those trees are STILL there now.

The swimsuit was banned in Spain, Portugal and Italy, three countries neighboring France, as well as Belgium and Australia, and it remained prohibited in many US states. In less than four years since Franco's death in 1979, Spanish beaches and women had gone topless."
