The Little Things We Take For Granted
Mocha The Lion 2 years ago
s-sir this is the highest it can go download-6...3353e.jpeg 
Alexandra Davis 2 years ago
Little things like this are truly amazing. I'm deaf and a woman who works at a train station I frequent a lot has learnt some BSL so she could say good morning and how are you to me. I cried. Yes I can lip read and so communicate with her that way, but she went out of her way to learn it and will help other deaf travellers too. I'm also a full time wheelchair user and there are some train stations in central london (Thameslink and Elizabeth line) that have raised platforms instead of needing a ramp to get on the train. I cried the first time I used them as for once I could just be like everyone else and board the train without having to find a member of staff, tell them where I'm going, get let on the train and then be met by someone at the other end to be let off. It's the small things that everyone takes for granted that make the biggest difference.

super incredible how far we've come to make everything available for people with disabilities ❤️
Linden 2 years ago
Accessibility gives a feeling of belonging, it means a lot to those of us living with disability. My local supermarkets provide a sensory hour with low lights and no music and it is so comfortable for me as an autistic person that I often get emotional being there from the relief and feeling understood and respected.
To learn more about the importance of consuming good news, we reached out to an expert on the topic, Jonathan Widder, founder of Squirrel News, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda. “In most media, negative news prevails, and solutions play a much smaller role than problems, scandals, catastrophes,” Jonathan shared. “In the short term, that attracts readers. But in the long run, many become frustrated by this imbalance.”
“There is a general need to live in a world that makes sense, at least to a certain degree, and not to have the constant feeling that the apocalypse is just around the corner,” the founder went on to explain. “Opposed to this, reports on solutions and progress show that there are many brilliant, problem-solving people out there and that many things are actually working or could work with new ideas and approaches. Thus, reading constructive news not only helps people to make better sense of the world, but it also helps to spread solutions and make the world a better place.”

This Woman Was So Nervous About Flying, So The Flight Attendant Explained Every Sound And Bump And Even Sat There Holding Her Hand When It Still Got To Be Too Much For Her
SuperChicken 2 years ago
This made my heart smile so warmly. I hope the airline noticed this flight attendant's kindness and give them an appropriate commendation. On the side note: I haven't flown in a while, is that how narrow the aisles are nowadays? How narrow are the carts now; and how can one walk through there?
M O'Connell 2 years ago
Aisle width is regulated (by the US FAA at least) based upon the total seating capacity of the aircraft. In an aircraft with more than 20 seats, at 25" from the floor, the minimum width cannot be less than 20" (and has been so since 1976). https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-C/part-25/subpart-D/subject-group-ECFR88992669bab3b52/section-25.815

It was a similar situation with two friends. They met on a aeroplane, D was incredibly nervous, and M was sitting beside her. M started chatting, and then asked if D would like to hold their hand. It was short flight, and they sat hand in hand the whole way. M provided the 'distracting chatter'. And so started a fantastic friendship.

Noname 2 years ago
The 1st time I rode in an airplane, it was a short 3 hour trip in the US in 1988. I was terrified (still am) of heights and I was seated next to the window. The passenger next to me saw that I was anxious (as in, I checked under the seat for flotation device, the overhead for where the oxygen mask was supposed to be per the safety pamphlet, and had positioned the barf bag for easy access) and he talked me through take-off and landing ("look out, not down").

We were also curious about what Jonathan loves the most about being able to share good news with people. “Spreading constructive news on solutions and progress is incredibly rewarding, as it often evokes strong positive emotions in readers,” he told Bored Panda. “Many are very grateful when they find a rare, reliable source that provides an overview on positive developments. Apart from that, it’s also very enriching to deal with promising solutions and groundbreaking changemakers on a daily basis. These people are very inspiring, and they show us how much is possible, how much positive potential there is in the world.”
And when it comes to where the Squirrel News team finds their positive stories, Jonathan says, “Our team scans a wide variety of sources each week and only picks the most relevant news on progress and solutions. We judge stories according to a number of criteria, such as the degree of innovation of a solution, its reach, scalability, credibility, understandability, neglectedness, and others. In the end, we usually narrow it down to ten news articles per issue, so people can focus on the most important and interesting stories.”

It is. My teenage niece and nephew came to live with us a few weeks ago, and it seems their mother not only made life hell for them, she also stopped providing even the staples in their refrigerator. She was too busy providing the basic comforts a parent should provide to her boyfriend and his kid. Grocery shopping these past few weeks was like Christmas shopping for them. Seeing them go in and out of the kitchen and eating the way teens typically eat (a lot) has been a joy I never expected.

“During our work, we come across many touching stories, and some very exciting people have even been guests in our podcast,” Jonathan shared with Bored Panda. “One of them was a former homeless person in the UK who is now pursuing a university degree thanks to a special program. During our conversation, you could feel how happy he was. He had finally found the right place for himself.”
“Also very heartwarming was the story of an American NGO that donates pianos and gives free piano lessons to disadvantaged kids,” the founder continued, noting that he’s a piano player himself as well.
“And then we interviewed an expert from India on open prisons in Rajasthan. Those prisons neither have wardens nor fences, but people still don’t run away, because they have much better conditions than in other prisons. They can see their families during the day. It was impressive to see what a difference the system made to them and how our expert, a young woman, successfully fought to expand the system throughout the whole country.”

it's so strange to know that when I was younger, Iran was actually quite modern and women weren't really restricted. How things can change when a regime comes to place that still thinks a womans flesh and hair is the greatest sin to either show or see and feel lust about. When actually that is exactly why there are so many women raped or sexually assaulted in those same countries. They should teach their sons, brothers and men that a womans body is her own and she is the only one that gets to decide to whom she gives it away and what parts she shows out of her own free will.

Agree with you. Unforunetly some societies seem to govern differently within themselves. Religions and cultures in some of the biggest most "progressive" countries think this and teach it. America for example. I can think of 5 that cover skin and or wear wigs. From Texas to New York and West coast to East coast all in btwn. Some could even look inwards from outside and think cult.

Which is lovely. But is he going to do the same tomorrow? He might not remember this conversation, depending how bad the dementia is. They often need to be told the same thing multiple times a day.

Better than one person a friend had to work with in a nursery home. WW II veteran, but from Austria. He was a member of the SS and was rambling about killing all Russians. He also screamed orders at the staff and wanted to send all foreign looking nurses to the concentration camp. Three of them decided enough is enough and with the boss' agreement, they would be the only ones caring for that man. They did their jobs to the best of their abilities, but he hated it and threw multiple tantrums daily. He somehow still managed to live a few years until he was almost one hundred years old.

We all know doomscrolling can’t be good for us, but sometimes, it’s just so hard to resist. Like that last cocktail when you’re out with friends that you know you’ll regret in the morning, finding ourselves caught in a cycle of consuming depressing content just leaves us feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. The temptation to doomscroll and surround ourselves with negative news never seems to go away, but today, at least for the next few minutes, I urge you pandas to focus on positivity. Because we’ve got some photographic evidence that the world isn’t all bad. In fact, it actually might be pretty nice!
Like taking time out of our days to exercise, sometimes consuming uplifting news takes a bit of effort. You have to go out of your way to find it or have a sharp eye to be able to spot moments of goodness in your day. But I promise, pandas, it’s worth it. According to VicHealth, we as humans evolved to develop a “negativity bias” to keep ourselves safe from predators, so we’re programmed to fixate on negative information and experiences. Nowadays, however, this bias can make it incredibly hard to resist complaining and doomscrolling.

It's important to actively seek out uplifting and positive information, as to not get trapped in negativity and to activate our happy hormones. “All of those happy hormones like dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, they do the opposite [of stress hormones]. They bring your blood pressure down, they improve your mental health and they reduce your chances of some chronic diseases,” VicHealth CEO Dr Sandro Demaio says. And when it comes to the benefits that wholesome news can bring us, Rhiannon Whalen-Harris, M.Ed. says that positivity supports brain health.
“When we experience positive emotions, like joy or gratitude, our brains release dopamine and serotonin, which are neurotransmitters associated with feelings of pleasure and well-being,” Whalen-Harris writes for One-Eighty. “So, staying positive can help create a positive feedback loop. And our brains are constantly rewiring themselves in response to our experiences and thoughts – a process known as neuroplasticity. That means when we focus on positive thoughts and experiences, we can actually create new neural pathways that work to reinforce positive patterns of thinking and behavior.”

Positive thinking can improve our mental health, enhance our relationships, increase resilience, boost physical health and promote happiness and well-being. So aside from seeking out heartwarming good news like you’re finding on this list, some additional easy ways to support your positivity are staying connected to family and loved ones, showing gratitude, meditating, eating well, sleeping well, limiting screen time, staying active, and practicing kindness. These actions may seem simple, but they become second nature over time. Start with a few, simple acts of gratitude, and before you know it, those positive thoughts will be flowing like a waterfall!

Two Years Ago Today I Survived An Extremely Risky Surgery That Every Doctor Thought Would Kill Me. I Was 93 Lbs, Today I Am 193 Lbs
I’ve come a very long way, I am thankful for life every day I wake up.
Amanda Rose 2 years ago
From the original post: I had a right Hemicolectomy, the risk was I was 93lbs, and was losing blood faster than they could transfuse it. I had a perforation 6 inches to the left of the hepatic flexure of my colon, but they couldn’t see that in a CT scan because I had no fat. I have Crohns, and during Covid I couldnt see my doctor, so I got very bad without knowing how bad until it was too late. I was too thin for them to really help by the time I showed up. I spent a month in the hospital. While there I got shingles and a blood clot. I was released from the hospital with a colostomy bag, shingles, a blood clot, and edema from lack of albumin. I had all of that going on when I went into the OR.

i searched up hemicolectomy and this is what it is: Colectomy is bowel resection of the large bowel. It consists of the surgical removal of any extent of the colon, usually segmental resection. In extreme cases where the entire large intestine is removed, it is called total colectomy, and proctocolectomy denotes that the r****m is included. (source: wikipedia)

Man Who Couldn't Afford Prostate Surgery Gifts 2 Chickens To The Doctor Who Performed The Surgery For Free
GoGoPDX 2 years ago
One of my first hospital job like 22 years ago, in a small Oregon town, there was a surgeon who was known to take any payment the person could give. He was old school (probably around 65 at the time) and a big, tough looking guy, but had the biggest heart and was unlike any surgeon I have ever known or worked with. He ended up buying land because over the years he had acquired chickens, some apple trees, some sheep, a goat, and a donkey, and needed somewhere for them to live. He also had a room in his house dedicated to homemade crafts and things people made him for payment.

We probably do, the issue isn't just the doctor. It's the cost of the OR, the cost of the medication, the cost of the rest of the surgical staff. Even if a doctor waives their fee it's still hell to get a pro-bono surgery going.

Booker T. Washington wrote of when he was raising funds for Tecumseh. An elderly woman came to him, to donate her six eggs she'd been saving up. She told him that she'd spent her life as a slave, couldn't read, and didn't know much of anything, but she knew what he was doing was something she wanted to help. Six eggs, and they were all that woman had in the world.

I'm a mission worker in Sierra Leone and when I visited the school I built, the headmistress asked me to come to her house, where she presented me with a goat. What a mindblowing gift from someone who lived in a crumbling-walled shack. I so badly wanted to give it to someone who needed it, but it was her gift to me and she meant me to eat it, so I did. Every time I visit the people shower me with fruits and chickens. Bless them all I love them so much. I miss them every day I'm in America.
If you’re naturally a pessimistic person, you might be rolling your eyes at the idea of practicing more positive thinking. But it might incentivize you to know that it can actually give you a longer, healthier life. “A 2018 study published in the Journal of Aging Research found that having a positive mental attitude was linked to decreased mortality over a 35-year period,” Kendra Cherry wrote in an article for Verywell Mind. “People who had a more positive outlook were also more likely to get regular physical exercise, avoid smoking, eat a healthier diet, and get more quality sleep.” Life is incredibly unpredictable, and we can never guarantee how long we’ll be around. But if keeping a cheery attitude increases my likelihood of living a long life, count me in!

I think this is the same guy who makes his cats ties that match his own shirts.
One potential reason behind why positive people seem to live longer is that they’re less affected by stress. “Research suggests that having more positive automatic thoughts helps people become more resilient in the face of life's stressful events,” Cherry writes for Verywell Mind. “People who had high levels of positive thinking were more likely to walk away from stressful life events with a higher sense of the meaningfulness of life.” It’s also possible that people with better attitudes live healthier lives in general, as they’re not drawn to unhealthy coping mechanisms such as indulging in too much food or living sedentary lifestyles. There’s nothing wrong with staying home sometimes, but people who are genuinely happy tend to get out and about, even just for a walk and some fresh air.

To hide behind a fairytalebook that's it's been rewritten so many times and think that you can hate someone because of something in that storybook... that man is just coward, He doesn't have the guts to talk for himself so he hides behind that storybook... the same storybook that will forgive a pedosexual for abusing a child, the same storybook that will forgive teh murderer of your child, the same storybook that will forgive everything and everybody as long as your "repent"... Yeah, I call bs when I see it. The only true thing in this picture is the signs the parents are holding that says they love their son, no matter what.
Shyla Bouche 2 years ago
Repentance isn't a game or a joke. It isn't just saying, "sorry." Repentance isn't repeating the same sin over and over, or just hanging out sins on the cross like a coat on a rack. Real repentance means coming to terms with the fact that you've done something terrible. You've hurt people, many of them innocent. You've spread darkness rather than light. Repentance is owning what you've done and taking responsibility for it. Repentance is doing the work to change whatever caused you to do wrong. You have to do what you can to make amends, and you have to not do it again. Repentance takes time, sometimes years or even decades. Sometimes it takes a lifetime. It takes introspection, self-awareness, a great deal of humility, and the desire both to better yourself and the world you live in. Repentance is a journey, a great responsibility, horrifying, frightening, and sometimes encouraging. Repentance is a series of small steps that add up to change. Anyone who says that they can do what they want because Jesus will forgive them is lying to you and themselves.

That is one of the major problems with super-cheap "sciencey things" for children (telescopes, microscopes, etc). They often are such poorly made toys that they end up ruining the interest for the child. For only a little bit more money they can have something useful which fosters the interest instead of killing it. A c**p plastic toy telescope or microscope is $40, where something truly useful for a beginner is only $75. Particularly with microscopes you can get rather deluxe 'student' models used for $30-40

Getting Home After A 49.5-Hour Shift Working On Hurricane Harvey. Houston, TX
RagDollLali 2 years ago
As someone in Houston who was here during Harvey, I can't tell you how much people like this mean to the rest of us. I have friends who were trapped and had to be rescued, friends who completely lost their homes, neighbors right down the street who spent two years trying to rebuild what they lost. The rescuers, the cleanup crews, the construction guys, the neighbors and friends helping each other out with a place to stay and a hot meal, are all heroes in my book.

That's rather like me, though I don't have a happy ending. I stopped celebrating my own birthday long ago.

I’ve Always Been Ashamed Of My Teeth, And For Our 7th Anniversary My Wife Completely Changed My Life
Ellie Vanille 2 years ago
I love the change but I'm curious. I've seen this trend going around with teeth filing and crowns which dentists apparently do not recommend at all. What would be the alternative? What did he get from his wife?

After Being Allergic To Peanuts For Four Years, My Son Passed His Oral Food Challenge And Was Declared Resolved Of The Allergy. Here He Is Eating His First Ever PB&J
Kim Kermes 2 years ago
Very carefully monitored miniscule doses of the allergen, slowly increasing over time. Same principle as allergy shots, but only recently developed for peanut allergy.

My nephews had FPIES- (Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome). They were allergic to so many different things (dairy, soy, nuts, red meat, several vegetables and fruits, several grains, etc.). Some who have the condition grow out of the allergies (usually around the age of five or so) while others continue to have issues for much longer amounts of time. Food allergies are really rough!

My 7-Year-Old Niece Just Got Her First Phone And These Were The First Few Text Messages I Received
Sasy 2 years ago
for those that think 7 is too young, depending on your age, most of us grew up in a time when on every other block there was a public phone, if you had to walk home or ride a bus home and then walk etc you may at some point in your life have to call a parent, you may be waiting to be picked up and something happens, a child having a phone for actual good reasons is a safety thing. People need to remember that phones are phones first, social media and the internet second, good parenting is making sure that their kids have the first.

I tried it once in support of my Muslim friend (she was struggling being at work as an adult - her first time in a work environment during Ramadan). It was so hard at first, but by the end it was worth it.

Can Confirm
I've always been told to tell at least two people where I'm going when I'm going alone. Park under street lights. Give updates ASAP. Try to drive separately and make friends with the bartender. Make sure your wait staff knows you're on a date. Etc.

Sad that a lot of women have to take these measures just to feel safe enough to go on a date. I remember doing this with my friends when I was younger, and oftentimes thinking to myself "I hope this doesn't turn into another stalker situation" 😞

But not anymore so of course I got a cake to celebrate!" <-- from the OP

Having to FIGHT for ten years for a hysterectomy, having to fight (male) doctors for bodily autonomy?! When are doctors going to learn that women are not hysterical beings who cannot think for themselves. We know when something is wrong down there, we know what pain is. She should have had her hysterctomy the first time she asked for it. No woman should be forced to be in so much pain. Women are more than incubators. OUR BODIES ARE OURS TO DECIDE OVER! My excuses for the shouting, but it needs to said.
