Resch told Elite Daily that he struggled with sobriety more than a decade ago, before getting completely sober at the age of twenty-two. Now being thirty-eight, Resch recalls: "I would be frustrated that I wasn't positive, but I wasn't looking for anything to be positive [about], so it was a vicious downward cycle where I was unhappy and I looked for things to justify my unhappiness. When I got sober, I thought doing that would kill me. So, I felt like I needed to be positive to survive."
In 2017, Resch created Tank's Good News, the hugely successful project that stems from his frustration with the negativity of current news. “CNN, Fox... they've made a business out of creating a visceral reaction out of people but that reaction is fear, anxiety and negativity," he explained. He didn’t know there was a market for good news, yet said he knew “if I could make people feel good, they would come back."

Courtney gave a fair opinion. I think a more accurate statement would be “parents SHOULD do that, but you can always help” Kids may have terrible parents and be taken to a loving home. Helping can well, help, but love is essential and heart breaking when it can’t be found.

This happened to me when I was 15. A guy noticed me in the bus, got off after me and followed me to the cinema, where I was supposed to meet my friend. He tried to talk to me and ask me out and even asked to pay for my ticket, but I said no thanks and bought my own ticket. 5 minutes later my friend reached and I told her about this guy who'd been following me. An older man, who was standing near us, overhead me and thankfully immediately alerted the cinema security. Turns out, as soon as I had finished purchasing my own ticket, the creep had convinced the ticket lady that he was with us, and asked her our seat numbers, to buy a ticket right next to me. Thankfully the other guy had noticed something fishy about the h Whole thing, as I myself was still too young or naive to know how to react

The huge popularity of Tank's Good News reflects not only its creator's but our shared fatigue with what’s happening on the screens and media. The worst scenarios are bombarding us every day and it’s only fair we get fed up with it. To find out more about it, what this negative exposure does to our mental wellbeing and how can we be more resilient to it, we spoke with Dr. Lise Deguire, a clinical psychologist and author of award-winning memoir “Flashback Girl: Lessons on Resilience From a Burn Survivor.”
Dr. Lise said that indeed many people report that their mood is 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 so much on negative events, it can make us feel that only bad things are happening in the world,” she explained.
The clinical psychologist added that 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 asked what are psychological benefits to reducing the time you spend on social media and watching TV, Dr. Lise said that when her clients report anxiety, sadness or anger about the news, she often encourages them to limit their news/social media exposure. “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,” she explained.

I actually grew with bikers in the 80's. My mother dated a member. People dont understand that bikers are family oriented, kind, helpful. They get a bad rap based on appearance, they form clubs so they can be around like minded people because society has cast them as outcasts because they dont dress and act like the norm. And every club member I knew was a skilled tradesman for one of the big three.

The greatest gift anyone can give. One person deciding to become an organ donor can save a dozen lives and improve dozens more with advancing technologies.
Marco Conti 3 years ago
My organ donor was a young skydiver that had one last, tragic jump at sunset. I was told that he was still aware enough to agree to donate his organs for transplant before he passed. I have never met him, yet part of him has been living inside me for 20 years. I hope he approves of what I have done with his gift. My daughter grew up with a loving father. I hope that's enough of an accomplishment for the young skydiver.
The good news is that we can all learn to become more positive and resilient to negativity. “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. All of us have activities that lift us up or bring us down.”
Dr. Lise also said that 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,'" she suggested.

While I applaud his efforts, the story's headline is untrue. Had he been exposed to heat extreme enough to melt his shoes, he would have passed out from heat stroke well before that happened.

It is absolutely monstrous that in the US (and some other places too) a criminal record can keep someone from getting a job. How are people supposed to make their way back into society if no one will hire them? What alternatives do we give people if they can't earn money? The for-profit prison system is even worse than the for-profit health system in the US, and that's saying something. (And the fact that slavery remains legal for incarcerated people - if you don't understand how that gives police an INCENTIVE to lock people up and how they focus on people who traditionally have less power in society, then you are impossibly naive).
Michael Sanders 3 years ago (edited)
Agreed. Rant in 3..2..1..Let’s take this compassion and also pass it on to people who get “canceled”, fired and lose many job opportunities because of something they said 20 years ago. Some of the same people that cry for prison reform will then participate in destroying someone’s life the next minute for something they said in 1996. A troubled past should not follow you forever. Many people in the prison system that have paid their price are disregarded and it is sad and needs to be changed. Some offenses though are hard to build back from. Unfortunately when someone is “expelled” when tried by a jury of their peers or a jury of a multitude of people they don’t even know they are rarely checked up on to see if there was any progress. Trust me I know. When you commit a crime or an “offense” you can learn real quick how expendable you are. I’ve said to many people if you don’t believe in the death penalty, but believe in the social death penalty you need to check yourself. “And yes before you wreck yourself”

This makes me think of Alan Turing the code breaker that created a computer to crack enigma codes significantly affecting the allies ability to win the war. Convicted in Britain in 1952 for “gross indecency”. He was given the option of jail or chemical castration, he chose castration. 2 years later he died of cyanide poisoning, it was ruled a suicide but there is evidence it could have been accidental. It took until 2009 for George Brown to apologize for the way he was treated, in response to pressure from an online petition. That year the queen pardoned him. 57 years later and much progress was made in that regard before 2009. In the WWII museum in NOLA you could pretty much only find a record of his achievements if you were looking for them or are the type of museum goer that reads everything. Terrible. Also watch The Imitation Game with Cumberbatch about him. It’s a good watch

When you think of all the lives Alan Turing and the code-breakers saved, it makes his treatment by the government even more heinous.

He got it passed, but the Republicans watered it down to it doesn't cover uninsured people and only applies to people on state-regulated insurance plans. Or put simply, only 16 percent of Texans actually benefit from the cap. I can't imagine living in a country where whether everyone has the right to access life-saving drugs cost-free is even up for DEBATE! It just doesn't sound credible to someone who lives in the developed world.

Germany has medical insurance for all as well. Each prescription you receive costs €5, no matter what it is. If you're on a limited income and have a lot of prescriptions, the insurance company will even make sure you don't have to pay the charge. I used to work in a clinic where they specialized in medical tourism, people came from all over the world for surgery. Sometimes family members, who weren't insured needed meds or treatment. Insulin costs like €15 a pen here, the vails are even cheaper. People from the US were always shocked how cheap medical care is.

I have an even better idea: let's all pay a fraction of a cent in taxes and make insulin free for all diabetics. Maybe we can agree to pay a whole few $$ more a year and make all life saving medications free for everybody that needs them? I would cut to the chase and make all medications free (at the point of sale), but I am sure there would be complaints from the "I don't want to pay for other people meds because if it doesn't affect me it's not my problem" crowd.

While this is a great sentiment and it had great intentions, it's not entirely true. Some people definitely do regret coming out - whether it be losing friends, being cut off from family, being kicked out of the house or abused, or many other reasons. So saying "I've never met a gay person who regretted coming out" comes off as a bit ignorant and privileged. It's not always safe to come out.

I never lost all the weight no matter how hard I tried. My husband is a mechanic and where he worked at the time had calendars of girls in bikinis on almost all of the toolboxes. Someone asked him why he didn't have one on his toolbox and he said he didn't need one because he was married to a supermodel, then showed the guy a picture of me and our two children. The guy laughed at him and said " that's not a supermodel", to which my husband replied "she is to me!" We will be celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary in September 2022....

The terms he used to me are appropriate. "Her body is mine" is, as I tell my husband, for him only, and " has given all of herself to me" signifies a man who is confident in his wife's faithfulness and commitment to their marriage. Such a relationship is not all that common anymore and he is telling us how much he loved her and respects her.

But in 2016, he apparently smacked his head on something, and developed a brain bleed. My mom called an ambulance, and he refused to be taken to the hospital 3 times despite being erratic for weeks. He developed memory issues, and motor control issues for awhile, i was living 7000 miles away in Europe, and my mom couldn't afford to spend $60 each way on cabs, or 3 hours taking buses to get down there more than once a week. A few weeks before he died, he was getting progressively worse (went on to find he had pancreatic cancer) was in a lot of pain, and couldn't remember what the doctors were saying and we could never talk to them. So i told him about the voice memo app on his phone. I told him to hit record when the doctors came in. He never did....but i did find his test recordings after he died.

In this case it wasn't as clear cut. She shot the guy twice while he was sitting in a chair, set his house on fire and then stole his car. This doesn't constitute to self-defense. But her case is now being revised. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrystul_Kizer_case

We were at a Gallagher show one time (the comedian who's known for smashing watermelons) and when the show started he encouraged everyone to move closer and fill the empty seats in front. In the middle of the show some people arrived and tried to claim their seats. He wasn't having that. He told them "No way you come in late to my show and make people move, go to the back"

And now I’m thinking about the movie Pokemon I choose you. (SPOILERS AHEAD!) For anyone who hasn’t seen it, there’s a similar seen where one character is alone in the cold and their Pokemon comes to warm them up. The two of them stay together for the entire night, through a storm. But when the boy wakes up, the Pokemon has frozen.

YES! For many years now, I have had a rule - if I think something positive, or say something complimentary about someone to someone else, I have to find a way to tell that person directly. It can feel awkward to tell a stranger that their lipstick color suits them perfectly or that their hair looks amazing, or to seek out a store manager to tell them how great an employee just was, but IT. IS. WORTH. IT. And making it a habit means it comes more naturally now.

My family has always been very comfortable with expressing love. My wife's family not so much. On her b-day gave MIL a hug and said "love you mom" to her. My wife later told me her mom thought it was sweet, but made her really uncomfortable. Now that I think on it, I can't ever remember hearing her tell her parents she loves them

My dumbass sitting here thinking, 'I wonder what language it is?' 🙄
KatHat 3 years ago
Tips for communicating clearly - whether because someone is still learning the language, or because they are hard of hearing, or because they have a learning disability or brain injury. Speak a little slower - not unnaturally slow - and face the person so they can see your lips (obvs that part doesn't apply if you're wearing a mask). Keep sentences SHORT and simple. If you have to ask them questions, make them yes or no answers if possible, or a simple choice between two things (eg instead of "What would you like to drink?" ask "Would you like tea? Or coffee?"). Avoid idioms, slang, and extra words. Be patient. Smile a lot.

Story Time
One time I saw two young, black, females checking out at the grocery store (I’ll explain why I used these three descriptors later on in the caption). They had all of their groceries rang up and in bags already, when it came time to pay, they ran the debit card. It got declined, once, then twice. One sister looked at the other worriedly. I keyed in immediately. They tried another card, denied, once then twice. Then they pulled out the EBT card. I assumed they didn’t want to pull this out because of how some people look at people who use EBT cards (shame on THEM, not you). There wasn’t enough on it to cover the bill. They looked at each other with tears in their eyes and shrugged, half “Oh well”, half “Oh my god, what are we gonna do?”. I stepped in immediately and said “Please let me help you”. I mentioned they were young black and female because I’m an older white male, and I know that sometimes help can be seen as an act of pity, which in my case it was not at all. I wasn’t insinuating they couldn’t take care of themselves, I was just a human being watching two other human beings struggle. They seemed shocked but allowed me to help. We parted ways, but as God would have it, we wound up parked right next to each other. They were still sitting there because they were crying. Their mother had just died. They didn’t know how they were going to eat that night, or any of the following nights. I forgot the girls name, but we briefly connected on here. If you see this, please send me a dm to let me know how you and your sister are doing. Sorry for the long caption but this video hit me hard.

I Don’t Believe In This Left vs. Right, Or Liberal vs. Conservative Narrative. There Is No Line In The Middle. The Lines Are At The Extreme Ends, With A Lot Of Gray Area In The Middle.

I Know (Not Believe, Know) That This Is Not The Case. Let’s Get Rid Of The Line In The Middle, Find Some Common Ground, And Work From There

While this is true it should be kept in mind only ONE side tried to overthrow their government, only ONE side says "all lives matter" in response to someone saying "black lives matter", only ONE side is trying to disenfranchise black people's ability to vote as a matter of POLICY.

Thousands of people united to try to overthrow the government and dozens or hundreds of politicians won’t condemn them, with thousands more citizens thinking they were right to do so or else blaming other people for it. Saying “there’s a gray line in the middle” is just chickenshit at this point. There was a gray line in the middle decades ago. The gray line is no longer in the middle.

There's a video of them taking this photograph. And then they show the photograph to the two boys in the front and the dad to check it out to see if it looks okay. Meanwhile the tall one in the back had ducked hiding out of sight. So when the two boys look at the photograph, they saw their big brother in the picture but they didn't see their brother when they looked around. It took a moment for them to realize that he had just been in the photo and that he is there. It's a beautiful little video clip. I probably watched it 10 times.
