We lost my 8 month old cat Scribby yesterday morning at 7 am due to latent health complications that we had discovered was passed on at birth. The next one closest in age is my 2 yr old boy Dust Bunny, from the day she came into the house at 6 weeks old after we rescued her he completely latched on to her. Scribby was his playmate, best friend and little sister and they were inseparable. He has been running all over the house meowing and looking for her. We are all so heartbroken over losing her including Bunny. My cat Tiger belonged to my Mom and he almost died after she passed away. He would look for her and meow and cry. He stopped eating, drinking and would only sleep in my Mom's chair or her pillow on her bed. Anyone that says Cat's don't have feeling or emotions are ignorant a******s because they grieve and hurt just like us.

    Some days, it might feel like the Internet is a room full of people constantly yelling at each other. Whether it's news, entertainment, or social media in general, things seem to make people pretty angry all the time. And everyone hurries to express their opinion on any given thing. All that online noise can become irritating as time goes by. You might start to think then, just as Bo Burnham said in his 2021 (comedy?) special, Inside: "Can anyone shut the f*** up?"

    ADVERTISEMENT

    That's why it's important this negative content doesn't drown out the good things that are happening in the world. Whether they're big good news stories or just simple everyday acts of kindness. Why exactly is it important? We asked licensed Psychologist Dr. Nathan Brandon to explain why being constantly bombarded with bad news is not so good for our well-being. He says that the positive content helps do just that – balance out the negativity we see or experience every day.

    My husband and I own a pest control company, and there are a couple people in similar situations for whom he has done kindnesses like that. He’s done extra stuff for them, like small repairs or clear outs they’re unable to do themselves anymore. I’ll also remind him to swing by and check on them if he’s in the neighborhood. You’d have to be a pretty hard and miserable a*****e not to help out if you’re able to, ffs. Not to mention that the more willing you are to help people, or just simply cut them a break when they need it most, the more willing someone will be to do the same for you when you need help. You know, you reap what you sow.

Starting over is difficult and quite humbling, but grabbing an honest job by the short and curlies is exactly how you begin to get back on track. Don't know if you'll ever see this, but I'm here applauding you!

    Neither my cat or I are blind (yet) but we do the opposite. When I approach I say, "I see you" and that is her her signal that she doesn't have to move. While I don't believe she understands the exact words it is obvious she understands that if I am talking to her it means I see her there and am not going to step on her. She reacts differently depending on if I do or don't say anything to her.

    My cat likes to sit silently in the center of the room in the dark and not do a single thing to alert me until I run directly into him and topple on to myself in order to prevent hurting him and after he trots away, only then he meows. <3

    "Engaging with wholesome or positive content online nurtures our psychological health by providing a sense of balance and perspective amidst all the negativity," Dr. Brandon told Bored Panda. "Our brains have a negativity bias, which means we tend to focus more on negative information and experiences. Therefore, regularly consuming positive content helps counteract this bias and promote a more optimistic outlook."

    Dr. Brandon says that seeing positive content online can help us appreciate the beauty in everyday moments more, and it promotes themes of empathy and kindness at the same time. "[It] can elevate our mood, encourage positive thinking, and even inspire us to engage in acts of kindness ourselves," the licensed psychologist observes.

    Anyone want to guess how far this bill's made it 3 years later in a republican state legislature? Texas found a way legislatively, to float razor wire across the Rio grande and eviscerate women's rights in a matter of months, but the above bill hasn't even been in committee (step 2 after above introduction).

    (As of March 2, 2023) As part of President Biden’s historic Inflation Reduction Act, nearly four million seniors on Medicare with diabetes started to see their insulin costs capped at $35 per month this past January, saving some seniors hundreds of dollars for a month’s supply. But in his State of the Union, President Biden made clear that this life-saving benefit should apply to everyone, not just Medicare beneficiaries. This week, Eli Lilly, the largest manufacturer of insulin in the United States is lowering their prices and meeting that call. Eli Lilly announced they are lowering the cost of insulin by 70% and capping what patients pay out-of-pocket for insulin at $35. This action, driven by the momentum from the Inflation Reduction Act, could benefit millions of Americans with diabetes in all fifty states and U.S. territories. The President continues to call on Congress to finish the job and cap costs at $35 for all Americans.

    And if we changed 1 paragraph of US Law it would be $10-12, but no one in DC wants to fix the real issue and we are left with states doing bandaid repairs like this. Read Professor Robin Feldman's book D**g Wars to better understand why d**g prices are so high in US, and how simple it would be to fix it.

    Can I share something I learned recently? Insulin is dependent on refrigeration. So when the power goes out or a natural disaster knocks out utilities for an extended period, people who are insulin dependent can be in a real pickle. And it can’t be frozen, so you can’t just stock pile a ton to defrost later. Anyway. The more you know. 🫤

    I don't have a source to cite because I don't remember where I learned this but didn't the person who invented insulin injections make the patent publicly available and want it to be free and accessible, and then his estate went behind his back and sold it to pharmaceutical companies?

    Nowadays, we spend our days glued to the screen. Whether it's a computer at work, a smartphone at lunch, or a television in the evening, we're almost always online. At least that's what 28% of adult Americans told the Pew Research Center in 2019. Many of us would like to do something about it, but talking is always easier than doing it, right? Dr. Nathan Brandon says that people should try to curate their online experience.

    I remember being so heartbroken the day my mother forgot me. Almost 6 months later, she just looked up at me while I sat with her at the hospital and said "oh sweetie, there you are. I missed you." She passed in her sleep a few days later, but man, I remember just the love and joy in her eyes when she said those words. I still carry that day with me, and hope I never forget it.

    And it doesn't matter if it was true or not, it's what she needed to hear. Gaiman is the author equivalent of Keanu Reeves.

    It always breaks my heart when I see an author at a book signing with no one in line. One time I saw a holocaust survivor who was signing his autobiography about his time in a concentration camp and the loss of his entire family. No one was in line. I talked to him for a good while about his book and the horrors he experienced. I bought his book and he signed it. He told me that he didn't want me to keep the book. That when I was done with it to give it to someone with the instructions that they give it to someone else when they were done. He said that he didn't want the story to sit on a shelf forgotten but rather that it reach as many people as possible. I did as he asked.

    I absolutely believe Neil's anecdote, Good Omens was his first novel, and although Terry had started on the Discworld series in the early 80s and he was very popular in the UK by 1990, the series hadn't really caught on in the US yet. I can definitely see these two very wonderful, very British authors sitting in a completely empty and quiet bookstore in bustling Manhattan nearly passing out from awkwardness.

    Dr. Brandon also recommends practicing mindfulness about how we consume content online. That might help us manage feelings of overwhelm and stress. "Taking breaks, setting time limits, and engaging in self-care activities offline can also help maintain a healthy balance between online and offline life. It's vital to prioritize self-care and offline activities that bring joy and fulfillment," Dr. Brandon says.

    Can I share my own wholesome story? A guy asked me to a dance and I said yes even though I didn't really have feelings for him and was recovering from a bad breakup. He brought me flowers on our date, and as I was admiring them a leaf fell off. I felt really bad and apologised, but he said "don't worry, there are plenty. I got extra leaves. It's very green" and he had remembered a time I mentioned that green was my favorite colour. And that's the story of the greatest first date I've ever been on :)

    For those who like to organize their day to a T, there's one more strategy that Dr. Brandon recommends. He says that 'digital detoxing' can be immensely beneficial.

    "Designate certain times of the day or specific days of the week as screen-free, allowing time to reconnect with the physical world and engage in activities like reading, exercise, or spending time in nature," he notes. In other words, some literal touching of grass might benefit your mental health pretty well.

    One time kinda late at night (like 11:30 or something) a friend of ours went to go home, but his truck was stuck in the snow. The rest of us suited up and went to help push him out. There were 5 of us, until suddenly we realized there were 6. Elderly neighour-lady had appeared out of nowhere like batman to help us push. (Where I'm from in Canada it's quite normal to help strangers out of the snow, it was just funny because none of us had realized she was there.)

    I really like that this person didn't include their faces. Posting strangers pictures is getting to be a big problem. One time I was in a line with my brother and I took a panorama picture so my mom could find us and the person behind me made a comment about people taking pictures of strangers and I didn't say what it was for and I still feel really bad about it

    My MSc certificate came when I was at work, I didn't know it was coming. My boyfriend was home, figured out what it was (because the envelope said 'certificate, do not bend') and went out to buy provisions to greet me with a 'ceremony' when I got home.

    Whether that's sports, a book club, or volunteering at your local shelter, finding like-minded people and socializing with them is beneficial. "Engaging in discussions or activities that foster a sense of belonging and positivity can be a powerful antidote to the stress and negativity often encountered online," Dr. Brandon tells Bored Panda.

    Always, ALWAYS be nice to the custodial staff. They really are nice people. Their jobs aren’t easy, and they’re always underappreciated and treated like they’re invisible—-not to mention probably also underpaid because they’re truly worth their weight in gold—-but if they weren’t there, the entire infrastructure of the building would go right to hell in a hand basket. Same goes for anyone on a non-management, service, or other support position. If it weren’t for them, the f*****g managers and the suits would actually have to work for a living (oh, the horror!), and the entire world would descend into chaos because managers and the suits don’t know s**t about anything and are about as worthless as udders on a bull.

    Please always show kindness to people in service position. Their jobs are not easy, and they often get treated like they are invisible and not worthy of being acknowledged. They are the backbone of many business infrastructures, and without them, many businesses and institutions like restaurants, gyms and even school could not run properly.

    At my factory, I work 3rds & an hr before I leave, the janitor comes in. I always hear people saying how he barely does anything, but I always see him cleaning, no matter when I cross paths w/him. On a Friday as I was punching out for the day, I passed him & said, "Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for keeping this place cleaned up. Well... As clean as it CAN be." the factory is 108 yrs old, almost original everything, so it's crusty lol. Anyway, he was quiet for a moment & then thanked me. When Tues am arrived & I was punching out, he came up to me & thanked me again, adding that "No one has EVER thanked me before." He's been working as a janitor there for over 10 yrs & that broke my heart. The bathrooms, breakroom, floors etc would be gross if he wasn't there. He was out sick for a week once & ppl def noticed the difference - yet still never thanked him when he came back & cleaned up. Sad. The fact my thanks lived in his head all weekend touched me. He felt seen & appreciated.

    Without janitors, the garbage a day trash would get piled up. The floors and bathrooms would not get cleaned. If they cleaned offices, they would not get cleaned either. Imagine what businesses would look like? Nobody would want to come in.

    And why isn't socializing online the same? As psychology researcher Alex Danvers told Bored Panda in a previous interview, real-life social interactions are much more rewarding. "I'd think of online socializing as sort of the 'lite' version."

    "That may be nice to do when you're feeling tired or burnt out, but it's also not going to give you the full experience of connecting with another person. To have really satisfying connections, you do need to put in the effort of navigating the more complicated world of in-person interactions."

    When I did my defense, one of my committee members unexpectedly asked a totally unrelated, totally theoretical question - just out of the blue. Basically a brain-teaser that had nothing to do with my research. I immediately answered it with a detailed explanation, right off the top of my head. He's gone now, he was a renowned academic in his field. I'll never forget his kindness - he did it just b/c he knew I could hit it out of the park and he wanted me to look good. RIP Ralph.

    One night my dad had his favorite sandwich for supper, sat in his recliner next to his Christmas tree and the beautiful fire in his fireplace, went to sleep, and went to heaven. He was 89, fully in possession of his cognitive abilities, but his body was worn out. The doctors had told my mother he was going to have to go into care after Christmas. He didn't want that. He wanted, and got a good death.

    I did this with my son recently. He just turned 5 and had been acting out at school. We both took the day off; got doughnuts for breakfast, went to the library and the dollar store, played, watched movies and read books. It was fulfilling and rejuvenating for us both.

    My sister was undergoing middle school exams and was asked who had won WWII. She had no idea, but didn't panic and answered: Beyond who won or who lost ... Then launched in a consideration about war and peace in general. She passed the exam, and we use her system whenever we don't know the answer of something!

    I did this when a friend's husband went to the hospital due to a serious accident, while they were in another town. She was so scared and lonely, and I told her to call or text whenever she felt like. I set the loudest tone on my phone to be sure to hear the messages while asleep

    I put my phone on do not disturb when I sleep, but have friends and family programmed in so their messages and calls bypass it. That way I know if my phone makes any noise, it's something I want to attend to

    Hubby did this with my stepdad one day, just watched the rain, knocked back some beer, and talked for ages. The house faced the lake and the storm rolling in and out kept them entertained for hours. Stroke took my stepdad out less than 6 months later. A year later, the house was gone as Mum was forced to get a smaller place. Few years later now and hubby's gone. Trust me, never miss a chance to watch the rain, kids.

    As a student who once asked my prof why he always seems to be looking at me while he teaches, I too can confirm. Apparently in a class of 300 and I was the only one who would make eye contact. I guess it's hard to teach to a room full of people not paying attention (or not seeming to be).

    Can confirm, currently back in school in my mid to late thirties. By just intently nodding, participating and eye contact,I was able to lock in a letter of recommendation from one of my professors in my first semester. I try and do this anyway in all my classes, but apparently I'm one of the few, most of the time and my teacher decided to reward me for it.

    My dad explained quantum physics to me at smol age. I didn’t go into science but I still remember “things get energy, start to vibrate and jump or shift a layer” so, there you have it. Things have energy, they vibrate and sometimes they move as a result of the energy. I haven’t yet read a clearer explanation.

    Yes. I have a lot of stuff and my house is cluttered (not hoarding-level). I do chuck stuff periodically, but most stuff stays because it makes me happy and having it around (and visible!) brings me joy! And I'm okay with that. Fortunately, I'm lucky enough to live alone so I can keep my space as I like - which is ideally reapsonably tidy, but a bit cluttered.

    Some things just make you smile when you see them. No real reason, not an “I want this,”or “oh, that’s nice,” but a true spark of joy. Usually not something big - one of mine is a ceramic bowl from Dollar Tree. Get those things when you can, because that spark is rare and usually doesn’t fade.

    I'm a 30-year craft artisan. Over the years of selling at art and craft shows, we've acquired many beautiful functional items and art objects, often in trade for my creations. Every time we use or see one of these items, we smile at several levels: the beauty of the item, the creative soul of the maker, and the memory of where and when we acquired it. In order to not overwhelm ourselves and our home, we have things out on a rotating basis with the rest in storage for the next cycle.

    I drank too much in one swallow once, and I think I caused abrasions in my oesophagus. my upper abdomen hurt for days afterwards, and for the second day, my toilet doings were dark coloured, which is a sign of bleeding in the upper part of the digestive system. it hurt so much. fortunately after a few days I was improving, but it was horrible. definitely did myself an injury by swallowing too much of my drink in one go. and to think I used to be able to down a pint in one as a party trick.

    I know an infinite amount of math. (For those scratching their heads and going “Huh?”; how many numbers are there?)

    That's balanced out when you have to tell them in 8th grade, "I can't help anymore, honey. You know more math than I do now."

    He’s probably a dad with a daughter about your age, so his dad instincts kicked in when he found out about the theft.

    Considering you could afford Coachella, nothing says thank you like copious cash.

    You seem like the type of person to ask your rich friends for money because "they can afford it anyway"

    Why would he get on trouble for that? He's sharing, and making pop tarts taste better for everyone!

    with that level of commitment the school had no right to tell him off, I'd have been impressed and asked for a Pop Tart myself

    Just remember that you can trick your brain as easily as your brain can trick you. One thing to try which helps me, is to give your brain the same answer to reoccurring negative thoughts. The idea is that your brain will get bored of hearing the same answer every time, and the negative thought loses its power.

    My husband is always predicting utter doom at everything he tries, even though the vast majority of the time he’s done really well. I always have to counter his worries and hints that he wants to give up with stuff like, “Yes, everything we try has a 50-50 chance of failure, but that also means there’s a 50-50 chance of total success. Have you ever thought of it that way?”

    My therapist had me counter anxiety, especially over things like why is someone not responding to a message or why is someone late coming home, by listing as many scenarios as possible, both ridiculous and realistic, then looking at the ACTUAL likelihood that the situation would happen. "Dead in a ditch" was on the same page as "phone battery died" and "work ran late". It makes the anxiety take a back seat to reality, and by the time you've gone through all the scenarios, what you were worried about has usually resolved anyway

    Yet if I try that all I get is brain backchat asking; "What if they don't?" and "What if it doesn't?" Then more backchat confirming; "It definitely won't, and you're stupid to think otherwise, now close the curtains, hide from the world, and sit in safety in the darkness like you do every day."

    At first I thought this person lied and I was like, "Haha, that's cute though" and then I realized he actually does know spiderman.
