I hate to rain on everyones parade, but: While this is indeed a way to reuse a lot of plastic, it does come at a rather high price. For one thing, it does not make the plastic disappear, but simply "stores" it as bricks that are used for building stuff. However, it does -not- stop the degradation into and generation of microplastic. In the end, these bricks are just a kind of secondary landfill. What we -really- need is a way to mostly avoid generating plastic -at all-, and that what we cannot do without should be 100% recycled into the same products all over again.

True, but perhaps that could be solved with a good seal coat. I've been looking at Trex (made of reclaimed scrap wood, sawdust, recycled plastics) to replace our wood deck, and depending on the climate, there have been serious degradation/disintegration issues with it. It's a problem, but one that there could be a solution for.

Awesome! But... I hope they're not toxic. They are made of garbage after all.
I remember logging onto Facebook ten years ago and finding compilations of animals doing silly things and extremely simple yet relatable memes. Going online felt like a fun escape from the daily stress of middle school, but I can't say that I was learning much. It was purely for recreational purposes. Nowadays, it is amazing how much we can learn online. News is being shared at such rapid rates, and social activism seems to flood our feeds. Political debates, infographics, GoFundMe pages, donation links and news articles are unavoidable. Don't get me wrong, there are many upsides to the ever-educational internet we have today. Having access to knowledge about global issues increases our empathy, and spreading awareness is always a great thing. But positive outlets such as "Wholesome Meet The Internet" are a breath of fresh air when the negativity online becomes overwhelming. It can be easy to forget that every day a million little moments of positivity are happening as well.

One trap many of us can fall into online is "doomscrolling". This refers to the "the action of compulsively scrolling through social media or news feeds which relate bad news". Doomscrolling became so common during the pandemic that the Oxford Dictionary named it a word of the year in 2020 and even added it to the dictionary. While the term may have become popularized in 2020, it remains relevant while many of us seek out constant information about upsetting news stories, such as the war in Ukraine.

oh god, if this guy wasnt a good person this kid could easily have been kidnapped, or worse. Parents need to teach their kids about stranger danger
Kitty Jordan 3 years ago
For all the people talking about stranger danger: Abductions and CSA by strangers is exceedingly rare. Most crimes against children are actually committed by family members or people the family know. "Stranger danger" has created an atmosphere of fear that just isn't supported. I know it's scary. I know that even the 1 in a million chance it could happen is terrifying. But it's also more likely a kid will be in a car wreck, but we don't worry about buckling up our kid and taking him to the grocery store every time, so we need to cool it with the stranger danger talk.

This is what the expression "It takes a village..." really means; kind adults being there for other people's kids!
Doomscrolling comes from a good place. We feel guilty about the injustices of the world or anxious about the uncertainties, and we want to be as informed as possible. Unfortunately, it can be very challenging to stop the cycle once we've begun. According to Mesfin Bekalu, a research scientist at Harvard, humans have "a natural tendency to pay more attention to negative news". He also explained "mean world syndrome", a term coined in the 1970's giving a title to the belief that the world is much more dangerous than it actually is. The combination of mean world syndrome and a tendency to doomscroll creates a vicious cycle of negativity for many people.

LOL, reminds me of my late neighbor, who "hated cats." He was a grumpy looking soul with a heart of pure marshmallow when it came to cats. He would even get up in the middle of whatever he was doing when the kitten came up and gave him a special meow. He would then go into the bathroom, let the kitten jump up onto the bathroom sink, turn on the faucet just so, and let her drink her fill. When she was done, she would hop down from the sink, and he would turn the water off and go back to whatever it was he was doing.

Yes and no. By purchasing them, he's accidentally creating more of a demand, which means the people that are trapping them will end up catching more to meet demand. It sounds like a good idea, but it's actually worse than if he didn't buy one at all. He'd be a bigger hero if he was stealing them, sadly.

His heart is definitely in the right place but along with encouraging these poachers to continue it also risks spreading pathogens into turtle populations that haven't been exposed to them. Donating time and money to reputable conservation groups is better but my guess is the internet will hate us for saying these things so take this early upvote.

$50 😞 so sad to know they are worth less than a typical grocery bill or 3grams of weed or one tshirt at a well known store. No value for life those people. (Not hero man obviously).
This constant exposure to bad news can actually affect our mental health as well. A 2020 study in Germany found a positive correlation between intake of Covid-19 related news and severity of anxiety and depression. Doomscrolling can also be a way of self-sabotaging our sleep schedules, according to Dr. Ariane Ling, professor and clinical psychologist at NYU. Be careful not to create a routine including doomscrolling before bed, she warns. "It wreaks havoc on your circadian rhythms, and then you’re not able to regulate your mood because you’re grouchy," she explains. "But if we're a little bit more alert and attuned to ourselves, we stand a better chance at being able to say, ‘Oh, God, I'm doomscrolling again’, let me put this down and refocus my energy on something that's meaningful, that's value driven and aligned with how I want to be living my life."

Generally the benchmark for viability in severely premature infants is 500g, as in, the chances of survival at that size are practically zero, and even then the lifelong complications generally just result in suffering and no meaningful life. I think the specialists are just being realistic or jaded and probably need to spread their attention elsewhere, it's not that they don't care.

I'm in tears!!! The nurses in the NICU saved my 26 week nugget born all kinds of issues (would stop breathing, fluid on the brain, retinopathy, etc., etc). I couldn't spend the night at the hospital because I was local. They poured into him with care and love. I could tell how much they had my back anytime they had to call me in the middle of the night. Or when they let me cry on their shoulders after my son and I arrived each morning or before we left late at night. I don't know how either of us would've made it if it wasn't for them. He's now 10, very strong, intelligent and such a love bug! Thank you to all the nurses!! Your job isn't easy by far but your work changes lives.

Psychologist Dr. Susan Albers notes that doomscrolling also has the potential to cause "crazy-making". Ingesting so much media inevitably leads to finding conflicting sources, which can be very unsettling when our brains just don't know what to believe. Dr Albers warns that spending too much time staring at screens is never healthy anyway. "Burying your nose in a phone can exacerbate disconnection and loneliness. Being locked on a screen can zap your energy and leave you feeling drained.” Especially after being forced into isolation due to the pandemic, we certainly don't need to seek new ways to feel lonely.

Most animals are more understanding and accepting of people with autism than humans. My autistic nephew and cat are much more attuned and loving than my cat and I. She listens to him, and is a typical cat with me. He was spending the night and we had a bad storm. Before he had a chance to react, she went to lay on top of him and stayed there all night. It's an amazing relationship.
Luckily, these experts have plenty of suggestions of how to break the habit of doomscrolling. One tip is to set boundaries for when and where you can use screens. Set timers, and be strict with yourself. Maybe allot an hour after work to check your devices and catch up on the news, then silence or turn off notifications. Perhaps you want to designate your bedroom as a phone-free zone (yes, they do still make alarm clocks) and pile your nightstand with books instead. Even having a non-smart watch and a physical calendar can reduce temptations to scroll and add more time into your day for activities you actually enjoy.

One of my teachers forced me to use the right handed scissors. I was NOT even allowed to bring my own left handed one from home. "It doesn't make a difference, you just have to practice" she said. It was a pain, and she always told me I have to "cut ON the line, not next to the line." Well, on parent-visiting day I loudly asked her to help me cut something and gave her the left handed scissor I got from home. Since it was parents day, she had no choice but to follow through. I really enjoyed watching her struggle. After this incident, I was allowed to use my left handed scissors.

Another important tip is to change our negative habits. Try replacing doomscrolling with going for a walk, journaling, reading an uplifting book or baking. Over time, the urge to flood our brains with negative news will lessen, and we will be in a healthier place to educate ourselves on difficult topics. Lastly, seeking out positive news can be a healthier habit to form as well. "Understanding that scrolling through good news brings us joy could help make us more aware of how our online behavior affects our emotional state."

My dad lived with a catastrophic brain injury for over 20 years after an accident in 2000. We took care of him at home. In May of last year, he deteriorated, got pneumonia and staph in both lungs. He was put onto the hospice floor of the hospital. My mom and sister emotionally weren’t able to endure staying, but I stayed… the night my father died. I held his hand. My boyfriend stayed with me and held my dad’s other hand. We played some oldies very quietly on an iPad, and I told my dad how much I loved him. I talked to him until he took his last breath at 3am. I hope he heard me and knows how proud I am to be his daughter and how grateful I am that he adopted me.

We've all heard that laughter is the best medicine, right? As it turns out, science supports this claim. According to the Mayo Clinic, laughter is actually linked to reducing stress. Some other benefits of enjoying a good giggle are soothing muscle tension, relieving pain and improving our moods. Frequent laughter can also help improve our immune systems when our positive thoughts "release neuropeptides that help fight stress". From a social perspective, laughter brings people together as well. Sharing a joke with a loved one (or even with a stranger!) can help us feel much less alone in this crazy world.

Don't underestimate the power of positive thinking. Even smiling more has been shown to reduce heart rate and blood pressure during stressful situations, according to a University of Kansas study. Thankfully, smiling is contagious too. “This is because we have mirror neurons that fire when we see action,” says Dr. Eva Ritvo, a psychiatrist and co-author of "The Beauty Prescription: The Complete Formula for Looking and Feeling Beautiful". As the name implies, mirror neurons cause us to reflect behavior we observe in others and have been linked to our capacity for empathy. Passing along a smile is so easy and will likely create a domino effect, we might as well be generous with them!

Years ago I read that crows remember people who treat them well or not so well, and share that information with other crows. I tossed some of my bagel close to a couple crows and told them to help themselves. Years later, crows seem to caw hello to me and I always chat back with them.

So true, I keep pointing this out to me partner (who has a small kid, I’m not a parent) that it’s not the money and the best memories we have of experiences with dad as a little girl are the things you do together, like this story.

I am 65 and my Dad was 46 when I was born. He let me "help" him do everything from the time I was a toddler, and never told me I was a hindrance, when I am sure I was. He took me to all of the Detroit Tigers spring training games beginning when I was 4. We went to wresting matches, the precursor to WWE, anything I wanted to do. My mother hated every second of it, and made sure we knew it. I didn't care. My dad passed when he was 88. We still played softball until just before he died. I will never forget the time he spent with me.

I have ASD and ADHD, but it took me years to get diagnosed. It has taken my whole life to be able to converse and express myself properly, but sometimes I slip up. I think the worst parts have to be the sensory issues getting in the way of life (I can't go to concerts because they're too loud, I can't hug people because they either smell bad or their fabric is horrible to touch, certain smells make me sick when everyone else is fine, etc.) and the socially crippling part. I'm fine with texting and typing, but verbally, I stutter often and my brain quickly gives up on feeding me words and acceptable responses. I also don't understand social prompts to either change the topic or recognize that I'm making them uncomfortable. I'm great with kids, since they love learning about things, but I struggle with other adults because they're really judgemental and can be really boring. Why talk about taxes when you can be talking about what coloured dresses dinosaurs would look better in?

I have an autistic nephew, and he doesn't always understand social cues, but has asked me to help him, or if he has a certain inappropriate look on his face, and he is unaware of it to bring it to his attention. He is 33 and based on IQ tests only 8, but I would disagree with that. It thrills me to no end that he trusts me so much. We also discuss what other adults might consider silly, but I consider imaginative. BTW...we are not related by blood, but by love.

My son started off as non-verbal. Once he was diagnosed with autism and in school, he started speaking full sentences. But what floored me was the day my MIL friend came over. My son, all of 4 years old, answers the door and says in a cheery voice "Well Hello! Hello! Come on in!" My MIL friend comes into the apartment, points to my son, and in her famous Georgian accent said "Now that's a proper gentleman!" I was so proud!

We've spent years ( 20) knowing in our hearts we have a high performing kid on the spectrum. But no professional would call it for a diagnosis. Left us in zombie land. Confused and often not able to understand when to accommodate and change OUR behaviors. Current therapist finally told him that his behaviors are too consistent not to be ASD. Now I feel both worse about not doing better as a parent and better for knowing I wasn't just a bad parent.

When you take your child for an assessment like that, in my opinion, you are already proving you aren't a bad mum. Even if he was not diagnosed, you have seen some things that concerned you and you are willing to do anything to help them cope with life. I hope you are all doing well now you have the diagnosis.

Sometimes she gets into a complete pickle over things that seem obvious to me (and I'm not exactly a spring chicken) and I have to remind myself how often she's had to relearn technology - which is not her forte - and hope I'm doing as well with whatever route we all have to take over the next thirty or forty years.

Peirce Brosnan is one of the most genuine people out there and extremely devoted to his partners. His first wife died of breast cancer and he was by her side the whole time. He was upset he missed his first chance to do James Bond when he was contracted into Remington Steele. His first acting gig after his wife's passing was Lawnmower Man. When he was chosen to be James Bond again, he said the first thing he did was visit his wife's grave and said "Honey! I got it!" Why someone thought it was appropriate to try to body shame a woman to her husband, I have no idea...but I like to think it's because they're jealous that there is genuine devotion and love there...something they've yet to experience.

That’s very sweet. Your grandpa’s spirit is still hanging out with her and the family

It's not okay to call people dumb though. She deserves to think about that behaviour a little more.

My nephew has one too, it stayed at my place for some weeks, while I took it on adventures and sent pictures of the owl in the supermarket, next to a dog we met, out for drinks etc, it was hilarious

I did this with my Nephew since he was born to the day he passed away last year at 18. The day my dad passed away I fell asleep in my Nephews little race car bed. He was 3 at the time, he came in at some point, crawled up on my chest, curled up and fell asleep with me. I have that picture on my work desk and cherish it everyday. Boys definitely need that

I climbed into the ER bed alone when everyone left the room when he passed away and rubbed his head for almost half an hour. That's the last thing I want to remember of that horrific day. It makes it easier to deal with and hopefully it made it better for him. I love you Bad Dude

Our society teaches men that touch is *only* about sex :-( Touch is essential to healthy human life (not a nice extra, it's a requirement). We use it to help regulate our bodies and our minds. Dads, keep hugging and kissing your sons as they grow up, Lay down that foundation that touch is about caring for another person and, as long as it is consensual, a normal part of life with friends and family.

My bestfriend was deprived of such affection and I'm a person who shows affection towards someone I care about. One day while we were talking, he laid his head on my lap, so I naturally ran my fingers through his hair, giving a small massage in between. A few moments later he started crying because he's never felt such affection from his own mother. So every now and then, I do this to him. He says it's the best feeling he has ever gotten. It's sad that our society makes it seem like men shouldn't be shown any such affection.

Gyms should definitely be welcoming places with a kind and social feel to them.

Lots of libraries where I live have homework clubs after school. They also have them in neighbourhood centres in low socio-economic/migrant areas, particularly the big public housing apartment buildings.

This is amazing and I'm so glad people are doing it- that being said, if you really want to donate to your local animal shelter, 75 dollars directly goes a long way. Shelters, both animal and people, have deals with food supplies that allows them to turn that into more than the average person would get due to long standing business deals and bulk pricing.

Why not just move the chair to the side of the table? Or switch places? Or move to a different table? Of all the solutions this one might be the sweetest, but it's not the easiest!!

This isn't always a bad thing- I do this with my friends! They'll reply late and I'll instantly be like "omg are you okay" not because I'm 'controlling, disturbing, unhealthy' or any of that, but because I love my friends!!!

I will admit I do have some insecurity and separation anxiety, but that's a result of trauma I've had since a young age that makes me afraid to lose someone- which is wired into my brain.

I have learned that I can't read these types of lists at work. Only because I start tearing up and coworkers look at me strange. Got super emotional from #1 alone and it was down hill from there...
