It's so frustrating to be reading information and think something along the lines of, "Why would Pat Robinson's fan base just ignore all these facts?" and then see the article is peppered with nasty phrases regarding his fan base, and realizing there is zero chance of anyone listening to reason when the sources of reason are actively provoking them.

I hate my eyes, that will never see 20/20 even with glasses. I can never really see what I'm focusing on when I pull out my macro lens, not until I go inside and blow the picture up, then I just toss what isn't in focus. So when the camera finds a tiny mystery, the chance to inspect more closely is gone. Is it a slug with eggs on it? Is it a vine? No idea. Will probably never know. As a curious person, this sucks.

I need to stop looking at Tardibabe's beautiful images, she makes me want to throw my student grade microscope out the window in frustration. I swear I use it less from the disappointment. Look at this. Just look at how magnificent....

If you never apologize because you view it as a sign of weakness, you are letting weakness motivates you. It is stronger to face your fears and take responsibility for your actions.

Nice article rephrasing what we know: "ignoring news all together is alienating and can leave you feeling disconnected from the world you’re living in..."

“We choose what is news, and we tend to choose the most alarming,” ... she found that uplifting stories were more likely to promote positive behavior.

Troubling stories... lead to “passive despair,” or hopelessness.

“That’s completely contrary to what most people think... which is that you scare people into action.”
