Friendly Thing In Unfriendly Times
i related to this so well. my daughter in law is african american who was adopted by white parents. she told me that she had to learn all the things of how to care for her hair on her own. she has what i have now discovered to be what is considered a "4b" which is very very thick and curly. fast forward to her marrying my son & i now have a grandson w/mixed he textured hair. he also very tenderheaded. there are no salons where we live that know how to work on natural hair. thankfully, she allows me to help her tame his mane bc i get to spend time and help him. recently went to youtube w/questions regarding how to make it easier to comb hair. soo many black stylists reached out w/recommendation, giving me the confidence to try relaxing the curls. turned out great & my grandson loves his softer curls. don't get impression my DIL doesn't want to do it. i like working on hair.
Thank you for sharing ❤️ Your African American family is lucky to have you.

Sometimes I enjoy that old adage Gog works in mysterious ways a little too much and not at all in the way the church wanted me to understand it. Hehehe

My dad, a tatted, old school southern born and raised man in a very conservative and Mormon household always told me when the conversation arose that we shouldn't try to 'teach' people to change what they cannot change about themselves but should teach others to change the very changeable hate they carry. RIP Dad.
Get a bunch of gay kids and isolate them all together? How could that possibly backfire lol

Yes! BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse,) are an amazing organization! You can find some really heartwarming stories about them on YouTube.
I wish they had something like this for abused adults. I lost sleep & threw up all morning & had an anxiety attack when I went to court only to find out they mistakenly let him out of jail instead of transporting him to court. 30 years later I still cry if you bring him up & he's serving 2 life sentences in another state so no way to get me
In the US there is also a similar group called guardian angels that will do this for adults. Girls from dorm were getting attacked at night so groups of them started showing up at night. No one called them they saw it on the news and just came
Load More Replies...That's nice. But abuse victims should not have to physically face their agressor in court, especially children! Come on!
As far as I know they don't only show up in court, the kids can call them when they feel scared and they'll show up to stand guard or accompany them to hearings etc. At least that's what I read about the US bikers, Guardian angels or something? It's a commitment for life, once you've been one of their kids, they'll still be there for you as an adult.
Load More Replies...They are a wonderful group of men AND WOMEN! They helped my nieces when they had to go to court against their father. They stay out overnight watching the house, go to court, & have big Christmas dinner parties and every child gets presents. They're incredible people.
Big burly biker guys seem to be split into two groups - violent criminals, and the kindest human beings ever. And honestly, I think the latter group is larger, the criminal biker gangs just get more headlines. There are biker groups who will go to funerals that people like Westboro Baptists are trying to disrupt and form a human barrier to keep the a******s out of view.
Not everyone is a fan of surprises, understandably, but there’s nothing better than a pleasant surprise. Expecting standstill traffic when you’re running late for work and being blessed with all green lights and not another car in sight, finding flowers and chocolates on your desk that your partner got for you “just because,” or finding out that your best friend will be in town for your birthday can easily make your day. Many of us are taught to hope for the best yet expect the worst, and thankfully, all of the posts on this list don’t disappoint when it comes to providing the best possible outcomes.
The Unexpectedly Wholesome subreddit has a simple concept: members share things that end up being, well, unexpectedly sweet! And clearly, Redditors can’t get enough, as the group has 210k members, or simply people as they call themselves, and is full of uplifting posts about anything and everything. Many of these pics have the potential to be sad, hateful, disappointing or terrifying, yet they all take a quick turn and end up bringing pure joy to readers.
Meet Max - The Goodest Of Good Boys

Load More Replies...I knew a goodest boy named max as well, but he was a golden. I miss that fluffier, he was as sweet and gentle as anything I could imagine. The worst part about having pets is knowing that you're going to lose them, and probably long before you go yourself. Over 30 years of fuzzy companions, and it hurts just as much every time as it did the first time.

i really wish everybody could see this, i hope this gets higher
This is really sweet. Yet not entirely true. I would not dare to say to the starving people in the regions of Yemen ( and so) that they won the human lotto. Or the people in the middle of the war. Still - a lot of us have a lot to be thankful for. Cheers mate !
Many people haven't flown in airplanes, let alone been to Australia, or BBQd a steak at sunset either. I think he means in a general sense, humans live now with the highest advancements in technology, vast grocery stores of food availability, and the privilege to relax and enjoy the sunset with certain luxuries in such a way that was never available to humans that came before us.
Load More Replies...My 34 yr old son had stage 4 Melanoma right at beginning of pandemic, they gave him 6 months...he just had 3 month old daughter. He did clinical trials, radiation, and surgery where they had to remove his left jaw to front if face, made a new jaw from his leg bone...after all that they gave him 5% chance...today he's cancer free, just had 2nd daughter. Those ads on TV for immunotherapy do work..it's not chemo...it's a miracle.
I'm so happy your son made it. I'm sure his daughter will be so proud to hear his story when she's old enough. My geology teacher in college had the same surgery/jawbone replacement, decades before I met him in my classes, and he looked great, so you can assure your son, if he has any worries about the legbone replacement affecting his speech or appearance later on in life... he will look great! ;)

Yes for some of us the blessings of this time are incredible. I also think about the fact that it can only apply to about one in ten people too though. The third world in many population centres is even worse off than the western world was 200 years ago , especially I terms of clean water food and disease.

As I’m sure you know, pandas, we love wholesome content here at Bored Panda. Whether it’s adorable photos of baby animals or sweet pics of elderly people standing up for gay and trans rights, these kinds of pics will always be precious. But the word ‘wholesome’ hasn’t always been a compliment, so Sadiba Hasan wrote a piece for The New York Times discussing when this word became a term of endearment for Gen Zers. Apparently, the word started gaining popularity in 2018 and peaked in September 2020.
But when Celeste Scott referred to the content at the lifestyle blog The Good Trade as “wholesome” during a meeting in 2019, she learned that her colleagues had a negative connotation with the word. “Maybe before, ‘wholesome' was used to describe something a little more conservative,” she told The New York Times. But nowadays, especially amongst the youngest generation, wholesome is not associated with outdated, traditional family values and virtues, but rather linked with kindness, positivity, sincerity and anything cute.

Such A Cute Moment For Them To Have
Good Husband
how did he say something that usually is offensive in such a cute way? bless him
I’d go as far as to say that most average people don’t mean to be offensive in situations like this. But it’s sometimes hard to keep up with what’s currently acceptable and it changes so much over time. My white mother used to say that little coloured babies were the cutest thing ever, or that the opening hours of the corner shop near us were great because the owner was Indian and they have such a good work ethic over there. She was the sweetest, most inoffensive and caring person. She just grew up in a different time.
Load More Replies...Perhaps part of the reason Gen Z has decided to cling onto the term wholesome is because of their positivity overall. One 2022 study interviewing college undergraduates found that this young generation highly values optimism and contributing to social change. So it’s not surprising that Gen Z would also be a huge fan of “wholesome” memes and pics that promote gay rights, disability rights, taking care of the planet and anything else that makes us feel warm and fuzzy. Especially in times of turmoil, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, this content can be a welcomed escape for young people to dive into the world of all things wholesome.
This Is True
That's what I always think. I like when I'm pleasantly surprised by what people will upvote me for. Sometimes, I'm not being witty. Just thinking my thoughts.

Thank you so much. I'm terribly afraid of rollercoasters, and my family always makes fun of me for it. "Even (my 8 year old brother) loves them." We aren't the same people, and I don't like rollercoasters.
My husband always chides me for being “scared” of rollercoasters because I refuse to ride them. I’ve ridden rollercoasters in the past. I don’t like them. I’m not scared of them. Are people also “afraid” of foods they’ve tried and decided they don’t care for them?? Okay guy who apparently is afraid of sushi…

urgggghhhhhhh dad-son relationships againnnnnn. i so love them
If you read that as "dad minus son", that's exactly my relationship with my dad XD
Load More Replies...storytime: my wife and I were trying to have another child but found that we couldn't. my 12yo son, who wanted a little brother, was telling me about all the things he was sad he wouldn't be able to share with a brother now. I told him that we were sad too, but I then reminded him that I've gotten to share a lot of the things that I love with him. So his dream of having a little guy to share his passions with doesn't have to be over. Just now the dream can change from having a brother to having a son.
I don't mean to sound like a pessimist but also, having a brother is not a guarantee that they would want to do things together- especially when they're young, siblings are more annoyed with each other than anything else.

Millennial memes of the early 2010s were often full of dark humor and sarcasm, but we live in a very different world now. “Sometimes those ironic and satirical memes are too heavy-handed, and they go into things that, at a certain point, it’s not really a joke anymore,” Enzo Luna, a 22-year-old communications consultant, told The New York Times, noting that he particularly loves watching cute cat videos. “I really enjoy seeing that type of content as opposed to people making fun of others.” We’re in an age where young people are increasingly valuing social justice and kindness, and it’s reflected in what’s popular online.

Load More Replies...What I wonder is- why does ANYONE give a flying s**t about who or how other people f*ck? Why is this even an issue? Why is there a seperate community? It's ridiculous. There shouldn't be a separation because NOBODY SHOULD CARE WHO OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SEX WITH, unless you are the one they are screwing. Then you can have an opinion. This baffles me that people obsess over other people's sex lives. Stupidest thing ever.
I might get downvoted for this, but you have a point. Please do not downvote me for sharing my opinion ❤️ Be whoever or whatever you want to be, but I really don’t feel like hearing about who people prefer to do the deed with. It’s kind of odd
Load More Replies...I am an equal opportunity hater of Bud Light. I dislike it now just as much as I did before. I don't give a flying flock about people's sexuality. I see it this way: It's none of my business. However, I do like good beer.
Constance Grady also wrote a piece for Vox explaining how she has seen the word wholesome undergo a complete revival in the past couple of decades. Gone are the days where the word signified being behind the times and reminding people of their grandparents (in a bad way); today, being wholesome is aspirational. Anything from snacks we buy at the grocery store to music we listen to on Spotify can be wholesome, and many of this comes in direct opposition to the alt-right movement that gained traction online around 2014. “Part of the way the alt-right spreads its message is through internet trolling. When it is ascendant, the internet landscape around it starts to feel more than a little toxic,” Grady writes. “And wholesomeness becomes an appealing escape.”

I had a dog fake a limp whenever the other dog was sick. I wouldn't believe it if i hadn't seen it.
Former BuzzFeed staff writer Natalya Lobanova also told Vox that, “Wholesome memes will always do well after something devastating (Trump, Brexit, whatever) because in those moments, people crave to be reminded of good things, and to simply just switch off from feeling uneasy or angry.” It seems like we have barely had a break from bad news in recent years, with school shootings, war, the pandemic, inflation and much more. So can we really blame anyone for wanting to have a few minutes of peace, intaking refreshing, wholesome content?

My dog hates the rain and has to be actually carried out of my house if it is raining at walk time.
My dog will literally turn around and beg to come back in the house if her feet touch wet grass. I get it, wet grass, so we’ve actually made her a little rock path in the backyard she can walk on and do her business (more) comfortably instead. Spoiled doggy ❤️
Load More Replies...My neighbour's dog loves the rain, he always runs outside as soon as he realises it's raining.
I used to have a dog that loved rain. She would just sit there and get drenched, not a care in the world.
But if you look where the back paws would be....you can clearly see where both back paws are and the tail.
If you’re feeling deprived of wholesome moments in your own life, remember that they likely appear more often than you realize, you just might have to train yourself to be on the lookout for them. “I imagine it like a nutrient deficiency; my fingernails are brittle when I’m not taking my calcium supplements regularly,” Emily Torres writes for The Good Trade, explaining why we’re all craving something wholesome. “Likewise, my heart gets brittle when I forget to practice presence—to slow down and smell the clean fur of a sun-drenched puppy. (Is there any other smell that matters?) Wholesome moments are everywhere, if only we’ll pay attention.”

i saved a stuffed zebra from traffic yesterday and someone honked because i went to the middle of the street. From now on i'll assume they were a nice person glad that the zebra was saved lol
Ooz, I blocked off 2 lanes of traffic without a second thought because there was a lost pup in the middle of the road.. jumped out of my car and he ran up to me, (his name is Marvin 🤗). People were initially honking like crazy and cussing me out, until they all saw Marvin in my arms and both sides of road became dead silent. Super thankful no one hit me... and super glad Marvin was friendly so I could scoop him up. (Had to take him to a non-kill shelter because his chip showed his owners moved away 😭). This was stupid, reckless and I'd do it again!

The great thing about ingesting uplifting content is that you can find whatever you love the most and dive deep into that wholesome hole. Perhaps videos of fluffy bunnies are right up your alley, or maybe you’re more interested in satisfying cooking videos on TikTok where the chef tells stories about their own life while perfectly chopping veggies and crafting warm, comforting meals. Whatever it is that brings you joy, make time for it. And be cognizant of media you in take that has the opposite effect as well, such as toxic reality TV or depressing news programs. Life is about balance, and we can stay informed without missing out on the wholesome joys in life.

I don't love it when people get beat up for insulting someone. I am queer myself, but I'd hate it if someone would be violent to defend my honor.
Load More Replies...My grade school used to also have the classes for those with special needs. This was the early 80s it was referred to as the r*tarded class. When they went to high-school it was a different school than the rest of us. But anytime we saw them everyone said hello and asked them how things were. Basically, treated them normally. One night on the bus there were some of them being made fun of and harassed by a few guys. There was also 6 guys on the bus from grades shool. Those six followed the others off the bus and "had a word".
There's a story I like to tell about a couple of guys I know from the Scottish Star Trek scene, Colin and Simon. Both have special needs of one kind or another, and at a convention in Glasgow one time, they started getting grief from some local hooligans. Suddenly the hooligans found themselves surrounded by a couple of dozen *very* angry Star Trek fans - some of which happened to be off duty cops - who demanded to know "Why are you bothering our friends?"
This story always makes me so happy reading it. I enjoy it so much, it's so sweet
If this is true, the wholesome story would be the gangs telling the homophobe not to mess with their friend and why it's not cool to hate gay people. Beating on someone greatly outnumbered is not okay unless that person is in the process of seriously, physically harming someone else. Educate bigots, beat child molesters. Let the punishment fit the crime.

Boomers and/or the elderly get a bad rep for being close minded, and most of the time, that plain old stereotyping. Most older people I know love to learn new things, but can find technology intimidating or are worried that using outdated vocabulary will get them attacked (like learning more about the LGBTQ community but using vocab that was acceptable 30 years ago).
I agree, I hate using an expression in the wrong way because I don't understand it. Please correct and inform me!

Wholesome Tall People
My husband and I did this while visiting Nashville last year! He's 6'5" and I'm 6' in heels and there were 3 lovely women in their 50s-60s behind us watching a band in this bar and I told them to move in front of us so they could see and they just kept thanking us over and over.
Thank you so much, you have no idea how much that changed things.
Load More Replies...I'm super short and at pretty much every concert I've ever been to, tall people have been very considerate. More than once, my siblings and I (we're all hobbits) have been more or less pushed in front of all the taller people until we were in front of the stage. Happened most recently with The Hu, and Clutch. Metal fans are very kind.
My kids grew up doing community theatre, and one of the techs was this gigantic man. We're talking 6'7" and a good 300 lbs. When he came to our house he would fill the entire front door frame. I'm 5'2" on a good day, but when one of my kids was in a local production, Giant Tech Guy had a seat right behind me in the audience. I asked him if he could see over me, just to be polite. He assured me he could see just fine, lol
This reminds me of a time I was at a conference and a guy asked me randomly if I was allergic to peanuts. I was confused but said no. He then whipped out a peanut butter sandwich he brought from home. I have never been asked something so considerate before lol
I am so short, I've had average height people check on me to make sure I can see. We don't trade places, but they often make sure there is a gap big enough for me to have a better view of the stage. I appreciate all of them.
I am 4'10" tall. I have been pulled to the front of tall people on several occasions so I could see as they said they could see over me, so why not.

For some reason, I have a LOT of handsome male friends. When they'd come to help my grandma at the farm, she'd get super flirty. Before she could get awkward, they'd offer to do some chore. She forgot every time, but would brag for days about how much they liked her. This is rad.
And then, at bedtime, they give them Viagra so they don't roll out of bed :-)

Not just old men losing their inhibitions. My grandma's dementia meant she was very open about wanting 'a kiss and cuddle', unlike before the dementia. Was a bit hard for my grandad as he wasn't as up for it a she was!
Wholesome Granny
I don't know why, but the improper english makes this even more wholesome.🥹
I did not like Led Rappel in the 70's. My brother had all the albums. Many decades later, my musical tastes have changed for the better.
I'm only 42 (43 this summer) but I'll definitely rock on with Granny, especially if it's a potluck!
I detest led zeppelin so much I will either not listen to any station that plays them or break a radio. My jobsites are led free or pay the fee. Same for beattles

Got any grapes? (To all the parents who now have this song stuck in your head... I'm so sorry. To those who don't have toddlers and haven't heard this song on you tube. Don't. Just don't. I warned you!!!)
I remember that from when I was in my 20s and babysitting! I didn't understand the appeal but the kids loved it. Now it's in my head again! There were plenty of other songs like that too. My very first time meeting the kids I was going to look after, I was picking my sister up after school and we walked with them and their mum on our way home. I bonded with the youngest (who had undiagnosed Autism) singing 'this is the song that never ends' and that's when their mum knew I would be a good babysitter :)
Load More Replies...My mom would be so envious that she doesn't have to run around the store looking for them
Mrs.? That's a bold assumption. Maybe she got fed up waiting around for the right drake and chose to be a single hen.

yeah. like the picture of the samsung ad on the Notre Dame cathedral-people were going ballistic because samsung was advertising on EVERYTHInG and CAPITALISM and whatever. In reality, Samsung had paid to fix the cathedral and put the ad there in order to hide the construction.

I opened a bank account when my son and daughter in law were expecting my first grandchild and put money in every week. It was a bit extra for them to either spend on baby needs, their mortgage, groceries etc. They now have 3 beautiful children and that account is still going.
I'd do that for one of my children, not sure I would have done it for a boyfriend.

awwwww. some people really do care. at my local pizzeria every saturday-sunday they give away whole sheet pizzas for free to those who can't afford food.
my local supermarket's policy is to give away unsold stock (sandwiches etc) after 2-3 days. It's still acceptable - I've tried a few.
How’d they do that. I mean, Preston, and Danse and Codsworth and Piper, but X6-88 and strong and Kat?
Load More Replies...When I worked at 711 there was a homeless camp behind our store when I took down the outdated food I would make meal bags and give them out. The only reason I didn't want to leave that job was because I didn't know if anyone would take care of my people after I left

You cannot solve an equation if there is no equation to be solved. "9x - 2 + 28 + 93x - 39284" contains no equal sign and so is just a variable expression. It does simplify to "102x - 39310", but that expression could have any value you like (positive, negative, or zero), depending on what x is. I'm glad the responder was so helpful about the computation, but he really misled the questioner by using the word equation. If the this causes the questioner to confuse expressions and equations, the responder may have done him more harm than good. (Math reacher venting here.)
Butt 115
i have neighbors who have become awesome friends during the pandemic and when a household goes on vacation, we "duck" their house with little plastic bath ducks. we hide them EVERYWHERE: inside coat pockets, socks, behind pictures, on top of tvs, inside pasta containers, etc. we started with 200 ducks, but now we only have 124 bc some have still yet to be found LOL
If this is what the sister considered entertaining, I would hate to experience what she deemed mindless buffoonery.

My little Olga was a puppy mill mom. She is a little dented but we love her so much. F**k those sick mill f***s.
when we got my dog about seven years ago we didn't know she was from a puppy mill until we went to go pick her up. they told us to take her to the vet right away. and knowing where she comes from it makes me realize why she's always been fiesty about food. being the smallest dog in a house full of like really big dogs, she had to fight. i thank god everyday she came in our path. god knows what those a******s could have done to her

My Mom (passed 1 year ago Thursday, kicking off the worst year of my life) and Dad (passed 13 years ago today), as well as my brother (passed 2 years ago in January) are all buried in Fort Indiantown Gap military cemetery. I was there Sunday. I always see pennies on graves there but it would feel SO wrong to take something given with such love and also pain from loss of someone who honorably served their country. Sorry. I'm just too close to this one, and it still hurts too much. And now I'm crying. I'm sorry.
I’m sorry you’re struggling. Please know that there are people around that love and support you.
Load More Replies...I put coins on my dad's grave, not because he was a vet (he was), but because he always picked up pennies and checked vending machines for change. So I'd leave him a penny or two to find. Glad someone gave me a better cover story.
