50 Of The Most Wholesome, Honest, And Hilarious Wins Being Celebrated By Men, As Shared In This Online Group
Men struggle to give themselves a pat on the back from time to time. No, not because their big muscles can’t reach behind them. We mean appreciating themselves for what they’ve achieved.
A change is needed and thankfully, ‘Dudes Posting Their W’s’ on Twitter is here to show us how. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of accomplishment and it should be shared with the world. The feeling not only boosts you but makes others feel warm and fuzzy inside too.
That’s why Bored Panda has collected the most wholesome W’s (a.k.a. wins) shared by men from the account. We love to see another brother succeed and we hope you do too, but check out wins for the ladies here too. Vote for your favorites to spread the good vibes.

That's awesome! Now can they do the same thing with ivory? Elephants are being seriously endangered by ivory-hunting poachers.
Yes, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, African savanna elephants are endangered and African forest elephants are critically endangered due to destruction of habitat and due to poaching for ivory. https://www.iucn.org/news/species/202103/african-elephant-species-now-endangered-and-critically-endangered-iucn-red-list
Load More Replies...Bad news folks.....The International Rhino Foundation (IRF) and Save the Rhino International (SRI) issued a joint statement after “monitoring the progress of four US-based companies that have announced their intentions...to produce synthetic or bio-fabricated rhino horn...and occasionally elephant ivory, lion bones or pangolin scales.” In that statement, both groups expressed their opposition to the introduction of fake rhino horn to international markets because: 1. Selling synthetic horn does not reduce the demand for rhino horn or dispel the myths around rhino horn and could lead to more poaching because it increases demand for “the real thing” 2. More than 90% of “rhino horns” in circulation are fake (mostly carved from buffalo horn or wood), but poaching rates continue to rise annually.
Continued from above... 3. Synthetic horn could give credence to the notion that rhino horn has medicinal value, which is not supported by science. 4. Users buy from trusted sources and value “the real thing.” 5. The availability of legal synthetic horn could normalise or remove the stigma from buying illegal real horn. 6. It will take time to develop synthetic horn and meanwhile the poaching crisis continues. 7. How can consumers and law enforcement officials distinguish between legal synthetic horn that looks real, and illegal real horn? 8. Companies benefitting from making synthetic horn have shown very little commitment to use their profits to help the core problem of rhino poaching...those profits would meet only a tiny fraction of the total rhino protection costs that would remain to be met as long as demand reduction campaigns falter, as they would with the marketing of synthetic horn.
Load More Replies...I dont really like this plan. It sounds good but they tried something similar with fake fur and it backfired. Fake fur made jackets with fur to be seen as ok and it promoted the market of real fur. I am afraid that if they normalise the market of fake rhino horn then it will happen the same.
I doubt it will make the problem worse, the issue here is cost. They can sell most of their fake rhino horn at 1/8th the price, and eventually sell some of it as full-price (to be perceived as real), even though it's also fake. Much like power tools, they're all made by the same company out of the same s**t, the only difference is the price.

LOL! Ikr it's all such madness, it's just keratin, people!
Load More Replies...I hope they succeed. I hate it that, the rarer a species is, the harder it is to get parts of their body, the more it is sought after - and, usually, it always is said to "improve libido" in some way or another ... helps getting a boner, helps getting horny, makes the erection last long enough - never is it said to make you smarter or calmer or so... It's always the same - killing a near-extinct animal results in better sex, they say ... and then, superstitious nonsense is still said to be harmless??? No. Simply, no, any fact-deniery is an act of aggression towards enlightenment, and, sadly, towards animals who haven't done any wrong.
This!! ^^^ Say it louder for the people in the back! (Beautifully articulated, DC!)
Load More Replies...Being a guy can be tough, that’s why it’s important to reflect on the positives in life. With over 1.2M followers of @DudesPostingWs, it’s clear that many feel the same way. The page shares wins from men of all ages and walks of life. Whether it’s a little everyday one or a massive accomplishment, they’re all worth celebrating.
But it can be difficult for men to do this sometimes. It’s not that they don’t feel anything—men simply struggle to put their thoughts into words. Talking about emotions (good ones or bad ones) can seem like an effort and many refuse to open up.
That poor child, it must have been so difficult to talk about what happened to her. I hope she is safe now and receiving all the love and support she needs.
I can tell you from experience, you never really recover, you just learn to live with the knowledge that it happened and now it’s finally over.
Load More Replies...This little girl is an absolute saint to have gone through that with her father - the man who should have protected her - and then have to relive it all again in a court room only to show concern for another person. That kind of goodness isn't something taught. I believe some people are born with that in them and some are not.
That made my eyes fill up instantly, what a brave and amazing little girl, I hope the dad is now in prison getting molested every night, by men a lot bigger than him.
God! Having that job and having a 9 year old go through the ordeal of giving evidence. But that smiley face sticker. That's really nice. I understand why that's an important award.
the fact that the basis of this story even exists is sickening, and every time i hear someone say God is love, I just want to kick them in the throat. They would probably also say that this girl's strength to do something this wholesome after such abuse also comes from said God, and to that, I want to bash their face with a ball peen hammer *relax not LITTEREALLY it just feels that way!
Although it seems like a stereotype that men just can’t talk about their feelings, we need to look into why this is. After all, stereotypes come from people perpetuating the same belief over and over again. Many researchers and psychologists have made it their study to find out why this idea is so ingrained in our culture.
On this, the psychotherapist and author Daphne Rose Kingma said, "We've dismissed men as the feelingless gender—we've given up on them. Because of the way boys are socialized, their ability to deal with emotions has been systematically undermined. Men are taught, point-by-point, not to feel, not to cry, and not to find words to express themselves."
These could be used from more people and they are actually a great tool for rehabilitation! If the damage is not permanent it can really help you to walk again cause it's really important for the brain to keep "remembering" these moves! I hope they can be available for massive production
Hell yeah man.Good for this dude. Man shouldnt be punished his whole damn life after hes done his time.
Exactly and then people wonder why criminals go back to a life of crime. If you exclude every other way to make a living . . .

Hot dog carts.... the original Food truck! My great-grandpa had a hot dog cart when he retired from Iron Work....kept him and his family for 30+ years... he was 99 when he passed. Was out with cart the day before!
It is learned behavior, not something that is natural to men, or any person for that matter. In fact, research was completed looking at men’s emotional capability whilst still in infancy. Their results found that men are just as capable of expressing themselves emotionally, if not more so than women (at least in their early years).
I am a 44 year old man who is now bawling his eyes out at his desk at work.
Yes, it is so moving. Appropriate response, fire bug!

Load More Replies...Wow, and all the different kinds of dudes...This shows that dudes love kiddos and wanna be a positive influence on them. Hell,I'm kinda scared to talk to kid for fear of being labeled a creeper.
I was thinking the same thing... so much diversity in that group!!
Load More Replies...Maybe stop doing 'Event with a specific parent'. Come up with something less restrictive and more inclusive? This is lovely, not going to knock these good men, but change the premise.
I hate these events too and not really get them! Why to do that? You will always have some poor kids excluded
Load More Replies...Ikr?? It's a cumulative effect, post after achingly endearing post!!
Load More Replies...Big Brothers organization ( in the US) does try to fill the male role model gap. ( there's a Big Sisters version as well).
Load More Replies...Good people are everywhere! We need to see more stories like this!
And boys are shaped from very early on in life about what it means to be a “man”. How many times have we heard that “big boys don’t cry”, or the expression “man up”. The word itself has become loaded with connotations of being unwavering and unflinching—showing no emotions or weaknesses.
Men are not some Terminator-type of machines, incapable of feeling anything. Their emotions are as deep as a river but we can only see what’s on the surface, not into their depths. That’s why it seems like a dam bursting when men finally open up about how they’re feeling, and often not in a good way.
That's adorable. When I was small all the neighborhood boys would come over and ask if "Mr. Ray" ( my dad) could come out and play football with them. My brother would play too. Unfortunately I got banned from football once I grew boobs, which I always felt was slightly unfair
That made me laugh. I would too if I could :D
Load More Replies...Happened to me once. I was trying to shoot some basketball by my lonesome and two little girls (5 and 7 maybe) came by and asked if they can play with me. Their dad and brother(s?) were in the other playground playing football (or soccer). I told them to ask their dad first. I'm a foreigner, and figured (even hoped) their dad would say no. He just asked me "Won't they bother you?" When I said no (what could I say?), he let them play instantly. I guess he was glad the girls got to do something while he enjoyed himself with the boys. Needless to say, I didn't play much, but let the girls play with the basketball. When it was time for me to leave they told me they thought I was kind. It made my day! :) I wasn't a father yet at the time.
This is how my husband and I started dating. He would come over a few times a week to play with my son.
Feeling like a kid is a feeling you should never get rid off.
I hate these kinds of exams. They don't really test a student's academic capabilities and often require expensive prep courses to do well, which just weeds out the poorer people
Same thing with IQ tests. The bias lies in the content of the questions only being familiar to middle and upper class students, so poor students don’t understand the context. Say there’s a question about a birthday party, or going on vacation, or getting your allowance. Poor kids’ parents might not be able to afford any of those things, so they’re completely foreign concepts to their kids. That’s why many very intelligent underprivileged kids scored low on IQ tests, even though they may have been top of their class in their school.
Load More Replies...I want to live in a world where wealth does not determine your educational opportunities.
me too but its almost impossible. Even in countries where the school system is basically free, the level of knowlegde/money your parents have will always put you in a better position. People usually have access to more things as a whole. They get more opportunities. They get to read more, be more involved with other activities and the opportunity to travel, learn new languages, see different cultures, etc............ And making a mistake while being poor can set you back big time, but if you´re well off, it´s just a learning experience. ......... I think there is not a single country in the world where being born rich isnt immediately a step up on a lot of things. Even being born poor in different countries means completely different things for those people...
Load More Replies...Congratulations!!!!!! This one made me tear up a bit. Never give up!!!!
when happiness come with tears you know that it comes from the bottom of the heart!
Sometimes it's really extremely hard to get into an university in Brazil, because the public schools are way behind private ones in everything, then poor people has to not only study but also work every early, to get to the point of really getting a spot against all the priviledged kids is really an act of supreme power of will. I myself failed, gave up, and I really admire those with the guts to persevere and achieve that.
i feel so happy for you but the fact that you cleaned the whole building no matter how big or small it is very touching and shows how our society is. you have made use of all the effort, hope you have bright future we all do
I wonder if anyone has started a gofundme account for this family and maybe a college/trust fund for this brave boy. All you billionaires kick in, for the price of a few vacation days, you could completely change this families life. Step up!!!
It's tough when we also need to teach them about stranger danger, but I know what you mean. Love thy neighbour
Load More Replies...Always be nice to janitors, lunch ladies, housekeepers, landscapers, maintenance people, and all the other service people who do work on your house, your car, your office building, your school, etc. They’re good, hardworking people who totally deserve your respect. Without them, things would go to s**t really fast.
Damn those tear duct ninjas... making my eyes water up unexpectedly like that!
When I was growing up there was this famous children's book about jobs. And one of the lines stack with me for the rest of my life: "every job is important and every worker is respected"... People should never look down on janitors, servers and every one who makes our lives easier, cleaner and comfortable.
Definitely sounds like something you'd find on @craponlinkedin
Load More Replies...I am getting tired of seeing different people posting this same exact story and claiming it as their own, though
Also isn't really the janitors story to tell, than this self-aggrandizing persons. He literally just thanked himself to the whole world
Load More Replies...You need to know ANYTHING going on in a school, ask the janitor. Super invisible powers, know what's up!!
Cleaning is one of the most important jobs in our society, we'd be flooded with flies and rats in no time without it, I hate people being looked down on because of their job.
The custodian at my old company was our buddy. The Finance department usually worked later hours than the rest of the firm (because we also all partied pretty hard lol) so we all ended up beomcing buddies with our custodian, Armando. When we had after work events in the office, we'd always invite him and he'd have beers and drinks and stuff. It doesn't take much effort to know people, regardless of their position or situation. My ex-g/f wonder why I was greeted by owners and staff at bars and lunch places that we'd go. It's because I genuinely would always so hi to people. Also, the funniest thing is, after I was laid off at my firm I randomly ran into Armando on the street and he was wearing my new company's polo shirt. He also ended up working at the same company I did! Different building though, but still.
People like that should get more recognition and be the celebrities. Imagine living in a world where doing good deeds would make you famous, what a different world it would be!
Like the cops that get these calls every day. But instead they get touted as power hungry racists.
Load More Replies...Sometimes talking to—-and more importantly, actually hearing—-someone is all they need to decide they’d rather go on living. Tune into your friends and loved ones, and offer to talk to them if they need it—-then BE 100% THERE when they take you up on your offer.
Yes. My mother didn't even know I was going down the "what if..." path that might have led to my death, but she started talking to me, explaining her decisions, asking permission before having me babysit or do boring or hard work. It made all the difference.
Load More Replies...Hundreds of cops do this every day by talking people down from literal ledges and others calling 911. I salute them and this gentleman as well.
I need to know this whole story. Thank goodness for Google. Later: Just read the story. 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier (looks like) George was the ultimate Good Boy defending three kids from a pit bull attack—-a dog two to three times his size—-and he didn’t even know the kids! He just saw children being attacked, and sprang into action, giving his life to protect them. We just do not deserve dogs.
This is the stuff that makes people think that pit bulls are murderous, most are trained to be fighting dogs, just look at the name
Load More Replies...THANK YOU TO THE FAMILY FOR RECOGNISING THE LOVE AND DEDICATION OF OUR FURRY FAMILY MEMBERS.
I have a smallish terrier not so different from George. They are the best. I hope George got a medal and a place in dog heaven
In Guatemala we had a marathon runner called Doroteo Guamuch Flores. He was very poor and could´nt afford shoes so he would run barefoot. He got so used to it that he whent to win Guatemala's half marathon with bare feet. Thanks to that he got sponsored to run the Boston Marathon where he won first place. He was daiagnosed with apendicitis hours before the Boston Marathon but still ran. Guatemala barely has any famous athletes so we praise him a lot. He is dead already but whenever the half marathon in Guatemala ( Max Tott half marathon) happens you will find that a lot of people run barefoot to honor him.
His shoes were stolen because the thief knew the man was a serious competitor. Congratulations Jim, for not letting some douchebag stop you!
Of the Meskwaki tribe. Never defeated in war, ordered to be annihilated by Louis XV.
And then they took away his medals because he had played baseball professionally, and only amateur athletes were allowed in the Olympics.

A basic car you earned yourself is far superior to a flash car paid for by someone else.
It does the job. On my first car, the passenger door wouldn't open from the inside.
Partner on a date: Gosh he's a keeper, he always opens my door for me when we get to a restaurant. You: If I didn't, I'd be eating alone and you would be trapped in the car.
Load More Replies...I remember when I bought my first car, after scrimping and saving for months. I was 19, and incredibly proud. I remember thinking that I finally felt like a grownup.
If only more people had this attitude for everything in life in general. Like people complaining how small houses are. And here I am, content that I have a warm bed and a roof over my head. That's really all that matters. But people aren't content and always want more and more.
Check out Philippians 4:11. It's wonderful attitude to develop with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Beautiful!! My mom did the same--born in 1912, passed away in 2016. The things these people saw.. from horse drawn buggies to robots on mars.
My grandfather is 97. Was in WWII in Afirca and Italy. Taught high school metal shop for 45 years and just got out of the ICU from COVID. Says anyone that didn't get the shot is an idiot because he'd be 6 feet under right now if it wasn't for it.
I have a friend who's mother had flu as a child in 1918 then in Feb of 2021 had COVID also surviving. She passed at age 104 in April 2021.
Many people that have had the Spanish flu survived also covid and I'm wondering if the scientists have seen any connection cause there must be one! Maybe there are still antibodies and both diseases are similar i don't know but there must be a connection because i hear all the time about 80year olds that died and yet the 100 year olds survive!

The older that I get, the more painful it becomes to lose my fur babies. We all live such short and desperate lives.
Though it's a bit of a sad story, it makes me happy to know that people love their pets so much. If only all pets were so well cared for.
We are currently losing our 3 year old German sheperd to cancer. He's the best boy in the whole world. We can't take him to the mountains , but he's going to swimming in the Frio River one last time tomorrow
I had a boyfriend that occasionally got drunk with his friends and he usually spent the night calling me out of the blue just to tell me he really reaaly loved me. Eventually his friends ended up telling him to leave me alone and go back to them... "are you calling her again?can you stop?" ... lol it was hilarious.
My sister's husband got super drunk a few years ago and after his friends brought him home and she was trying to put him to bed ( she was trying to undress him) he said to her: "don't touch me bitch, I am married".
Are we sure he didn’t mean to send that to his girlfriend on the side and then covered his ass with the second part ? I deserve to be downvoted but man that’s where my brain went and I so hope I’m wrong
Hey, at least he is thinking of her and not some other chick...
Omg I watch his videos!!! He is absolutely hilarious. I had no idea he had lost his job
Yes, his videos are SO great, the comedic timing and simplicity is simply genius, he absolutely deserves all the love.
I like the fact that he's indeed creative. He's not just making money out of tiktok with stupid dances or pointless trends, that seems to be the vast majority of the app's content
The majority is what you follow. The algorithm shows you more of what you consume, so select "I'm not interested" after long tapping the videos of the stupid dances and you'll never see one again
Load More Replies...I follow him. His videos are what we are all thinking when we see stupidity. Glad he is doing well after losing his job.
There was a customer at the video store I worked at in the 1990s who was from Senegal, and he was the tallest and sweetest person I’ve ever met.

So true! Went from sleeping in a truck bed camper shell with a few yoga mats, to a floor with the same mats, to finally having a futon recently. It was hard earned and worth the wait! A nice, soft place to sleep off the floor is a huge blessing.
Load More Replies...My first apartment. I slept, and sat, on the floor for months before I finally found a mattress set, then a second hand bedroom set I really liked, then a couch, then chairs, etc. Took months of flea markets, yard sakes, and second hand shopping, but I finally had a comfortable, fully furnished apartment, with pictures on the wall and books on the shelves, and everything.
My first place was the same. I had a chair, a TV and some cooking gear. It took about a year to cobble some furniture, a kitchen table and a bed. AND... I HAD a decent job. It was just that the rent, the car and utilities ate up a load of it, not to mention I do enjoy eating from time to time.
Load More Replies...Living in a world where we can't even live comfortably and have just what we need to live. Without struggling and killing ourselves. Is by far the most messed up s**t ever. Everyone should no doubt work to live but there should be an equal balance of wages, time with family, and to enjoy life. It does not make anyone lazy or entitled to want to work less and spend more time enjoying their existence and their family. People really are brainwashed to think a certain way about wages and living and it's not right. Knowing even one person is out here killing themselves or working so hard for even a bed just shows me how very messed up things are. I don't know that's just what came to mind after seeing this young man post his working for a bed.
That was us 12 years ago. Now we live in an upscale fully and nicely furnished 2 bedroom apartment in a great neighborhood. All it took was persistence and some smart research on the best way to increase our skills without spending a lot. I actually saw a chef on tv that said he worked as a chef in a restaurant 5 days a week and then spends one day a week volunteering in other kitchens that make Japanese, Indian and other cuisine so he can learn different cooking techniques in the hopes of opening his own restaurant.
Wow... I get ya! I went from floor on a blanket, to an air mattress to a bed. Even floor to air mattress was an improvement.
I was just about to ask that, but you got here first, so I looked it up. I guess you bake the meat in the oven on a low temperature for a long time then brown it in a a pan to finish it off.

Being kind and generous just because it "seemed like something fun to do." Man, you rock kid.

Damn.. I wish you had been there for mine back in the day that my ex husband "forgot" to pay on and didn't tell me until my whole life was gone. Still a bit salty about that. The only things I cared about was my precious moment wooden jewelry box my grandma gave me so I could pass it down to my kids. The cat / garnet ring that was inside, a little gold / diamond ring my grandma gave me, my leg braces from my childhood and my book of poems and photo albums. I didn't give two craps about the rest. :(
I'm sorry, my ex got away with a family heirloom original oil painting of me as a baby being cradled by my mom and a really cool handmade bench with carved horse heads at each end. Funny how we can't forget these things, even though our lives have gone on.
Load More Replies...Those shows don't really portray the reality of buying abandoned storage lockers. They're usually a smattering of junk that people couldn't fit in their moving truck and just abandoned, entirely empty lockers that just weren't closed out properly, and most tragically the meager possessions of people who went to prison. Lockers filled with valuables are rare.
Load More Replies...I haven't worn a tie since 1999, when my Dad passed. He was always the one who tied my ties. Miss ya old man.
I'm a girl and my grandfather taught me to tie a tie because he said it might come in handy. The last time I ever tied a tie was when he was getting ready for my grandmothers funeral and couldn't get his hands to work. After I tied it he said "see, I told you it might come in handy one day."
The joys of having been educated in the British school system is that I can tie a tie blindfolded. Female btw.

Estimated to have saved the lives of 2.4 million babies. Really astounding.
To clarify, Mr Harrison is still alive. He just reached the maximum age limit for donating blood in Australia -- 81, I believe. He has an extremely rare substance in his plasma that can be used to cure Rhesus diseases: from over 1000 donations, it is estimated that he saved 2.5m babies!
Can you imagine if every baby he saved send him a thank you card on his bd? Postal service would be swamped.
He has left this mark over two million times..of life itself. I wonder if they can 'harvest' more somehow for posterity and future babies.
Honestly I don't get telling your partner "no" over something like this. They aren't a child and it isn't a big purchase that needs to be discussed. If it brings them joy (which it clearly does) let them have it
No one should tell someone to get children and no one should tell someone to get an abortion.

Sometimes people say something is impossible, and then someone comes along who didn't know it was impossible, and did it anyway
That is so wonderful . My grandson was a micro premie weighing less than 2 pounds. He turns 6 in October , and is gigantic. He's going to be a linebacker !
He weighed just 340 grams and was born at 21 weeks +2 days. He is quite a good size for 21 weeks! When I started working as a midwife 25 years ago the criteria was we would try to save babies if they had reached 24 weeks and 400g. I looked after a woman who went into labour at 24+6 and her baby was just over 500g. Her daughter is 16 years old now.
Just some stats. A baby born at 22 weeks has a 10% chance of survival, but will most often have severe disabilities. 23 weeks is 50-60%, 24 weeks is 66%-80%, 25 weeks 75%-80%, 26 weeks 90%. An incredible amount of work goes into saving kids this premature.
Load More Replies...Well, technically we all have 0% 0dds of surviving. But good on the kid.
I know a lady who runs a fiber mill and uses two llamas to guard the sheep! Their names are Fred and Barney and they're adorable.
Load More Replies...That's my answer to "why do you have 11 birds?" Because I love them. duh.
Why not, my daughter wanted them once too..and me to look after them when I retired..did not happen!
The left photo is the man standing on the outside ledge of the Golden Gate Bridge, which spans the Gate between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. It’s a favored place for suicides. I’m glad they talked him down.
Let’s not miss the CHP officer who saw the issue and saved the guy. Officers are not trained in behavioral issues, he had to think on the fly. For every cop hater out there thinking cops don’t care and would prefer to gun down citizens, let this sink in
Load More Replies...When you're feeling that low, just one, single caring person can make all the difference.
what a heartbreaking photo. That poor man. You can see he wants to live, he just doesn't know how. Thank you, thank you, man who saved him.
The Golden Gate Bridge has suicide prevention hotline phones along its length and cameras. They are also in the process of adding netting along both sides to catch accidental or intentional falls.
P.S. Police are trained in Suicide crisis response, basic Mental Health....still. Even someone sooo down they are contemplating the end of their own life.... can tell when another person is genuine and cares. Good on you PO!!
This is definitely true in SF. They’re also taught conflict de-escalation. That waiting for everyone to calm down and let their pre-frontal cortex re-engage at chaotic scenes. Helpful and life-saving skill when dealing with a fairly large population of mentally ill, traumatized, and unhoused.
Load More Replies...This is exemplary. We should have more community and peace-oriented enforcement. This is what I think of as protect and serve.
This was a fake ad. There was a guy who created all sorts of hilarious fake ads and posted them around town, this was in a BP post a couple years ago
It's a joke poster... I can't remember who made them but it was a series and there was one that was like 'reverse psychology classes: DONT call ... today!' Sorta thing
Load More Replies...This made me smile so widely. I think I'll go to sleep now, it's really late.
Oh man you can even imagine how I wish you were in my area!! I’d hire you in a nano second.
Awww...It feels good to help out lil critters like this. Once had a lil wren trapped on an enclosed porch,kept flying into a window to get out. After a couple tries,I finally got it to perch on my finger and I walked it outside...and it would...not...leave. It stayed on my hand for 10 or 15 minutes as I walked it around the yard.Me an a lil wild bird just hangin out.
It was probably woozy from whupping itself upside the head on your window. If you put something in/on the glass, this won’t happen. Giant windows kill a lot of birds because they can’t see the glass, only the reflections of the yard or what-have-you.
Load More Replies...Little baby bunnies keep falling into the space outside our basement window. We have to keep saving them because the cats are staring at them!
been there, done that. felt as good as this seems like it would. So long as they don't break their neck, they usually recover after a bit on their own though, as long a predators AKA neighbor's cat, doesn't get them first.
Big headache, for the beautiful bird that is.. they can survive some window crashes amazingly.
Clever, I should bring mirrors everywhere everyone can be in the photos
This makes me feel bittersweet My sons and their friends took a " last group pic before we all go different ways" . I had it printed out and when I saw the big picture, I teared up. One of their friends had been killed at 13, and these good guys always went and checked on his mom.. they took the picture at her house that day, because my oldest was returning the hoodie her son had left at my house five years before. In the background of the pic, in the only open space for him among six big guys, hung his last school picture, big ol grin and all. We all said he found a way to be in that picture.
And a damn fine wall it appears to be. Looks like its dry stacked but I cant tell.
It's possible the opening wasn't big enough for an adult
Load More Replies...Ok,I cant tell what he rescued...It looks like ginsing root to me. Kittens? An octopus? What isnit?
Is that a cat? Do we need to still use only tiny images and compress the hell out of them?
Its a blond wig. Id save it too. Cant be out here lookin crazy.
Load More Replies...Are they baby squirrels or kittens? The lad has a good heart and a loving future.
Would be really cool if his name just happened to be…wait for it…Jonah!
That must have been a hell of an unique experience, and definitely a tale do be told for life.
Definitely. Drinks are on the house. He should celebrate the anniversary every year.
Load More Replies...He wasn't actually swallowed. He was in partially in the mouth for a moment before the whale gave a yuck, gagged, and spit him out. When you're catching 6 inch fish and a 6 foot anything gets in there, you know something's wrong. Watch a video of a humpback feeding lunge and you can see how it happened.
Wow! This man has officially one upped everyone telling a life story. “Yeah, one time I was swallowed by a whale.” Who gets to say that??? What an experience that had to have been! Again, wow!
Come on are you a dunce? It's a dad's declaration of love for his daughter.
Load More Replies...Not in the positions where this can be changed. American authorities rather spend $3 billion dollars to make the life of homeless people more difficult and miserable than investing $1 billion in plans, projects and policies to actually solve the problem.
Load More Replies...Mark, the guy on the right photo with the gray hair, experienced homelessness when he was you g. He has a heart of gold. Interviews people who are down on their luck, and follows up on their stories. Check out his YouTube Channel “Invisible People”, and please remember not all homeless people are there because of drug use, some use drugs to self medicate because society has deemed them less than.
Some people are unsure how a 7 year old can be homeless. Sometimes the entire family is homeless and live in and out of temporary shelters, or in tents in the woods, or in cars. I guarantee you, someone in your school was homeless and you never knew. It is way, way more common than you think. Just one more way we have failed as human beings.
When I was a child, I thought the USA must be like paradise. Now I thank god on my knees I am European!

Snapchat will show someone's location on there profile, this dude was just checkin in to make sure his friend wasn't lost at sea or something

That's gonna be an expensive turd she left in his bed! Sic her, Johnny!
Their relationship was clearly problematic but just so people understand, it's the way people are reacting to the two that make men so upset by this whole thing. Johnny is excised from all his films based on the allegations. Amber admits domestic abuse and literally gets one of his old franchises. To be clear keep your damn hands to yourself. But also abuse is abuse and men deserve to have the way that they are treated recognized and empathized with. Let me tell you, the usual response to talking about it is to treat men like we are beyond ridiculous for asking for help, and God help you if you get the police involved.
"Tell the world Johnny, tell them... I Johnny Depp, a man, I'm a victim too of domestic violence... and see how many people believe or side with you" Amber Heard on tape. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7966723/Amber-Heard-ridicules-Johnny-Depp-claiming-hes-domestic-violence-victim.html
Two adults who clearly had no idea how to behave like adults. They should both be embarrassed.

Where does this happen? Las Vegas? Next to a playing card factory? The cards are in their favour ^-^
I'm a cyclist and I find a lot of things while riding. I've found several wallets and cell phones (usually cracked by the time I get to them) that I returned to the owners. I've also picked up a lot of tools that appear to have fallen out of work trucks that could cause flat tires or other damage to cars. And I reunited a couple lost dogs to owners. Never do I recall seeing playing cards. Lots of coins, though.
Once I found a playing card on the floor of my school gym with a bite taken out of it!
Haha that's funny, I started playing GTA v last year (I never got into GTA really as woman I kinda shied away from it) anyway it's fun and rather tongue in cheek but the more I play the more i recognise parts of LA when I watch tv shows, especially in Lucifer and Goliath. This reminds me of that
Don’t be a music snob ! That’s what my music teacher use to say ! :)
Load More Replies...It says Kanye on the label, it's actually the audiobook of P. Tippler's 'Physics for Engineers'
It’s been proven that if you study with music that you’ll do better on the exam if you listen to the same music. Pretty cool. 😁
you can't do this. For the test to make sense, students have to take it under the same conditions. Listening to music while testing could give the student an advantage (let's say he listened to this record while studying, so it helps the memories come back) or a disadvantage because of the distraction, and either way you are ruining the integrity of the test. I do this for a living and things like this matter.
Its a mid-term, not a national standardized test.

Guy wanted to trade a yellow hood for a white or black one, someone in similar situation answered, cause he had a yellow truck with a white hood.
I just don't get that 'success' to so many Americans means teenage models in bikini on a yacht 🙄
Bitcoin has been heavily used to enable child trafficking and slavery, weapons transactions and drug deals. Everything illegal you wouldn't want to openly buy, that's what is traded with bitcoin. Getting rich of bitcoin is supporting every single illegal action you can imagine. No thanks. I'll stay un-rich.
In honor of my dad’s birthday today, I’ll share one of his wins for him. My dad LOVES beach combing and rock hunting. When we go on vacation, especially to the Great Lakes, it’s all he does. The best thing ever is that he’ll make friends with the other rock hunters. I’ll be sunbathing or swimming and I look up and my dad’s in this circle of people telling them about the fossils and pudding stones he found. Every time, he’ll met other people and identify stuff they’ve found, tell them about special stones in the area, etc. It’s so awesome. I like beach combing, but my he’ll do it for hours at a time. He’d be there all day if we let him. Happy birthday dad! Love you!
