2·51 minutes agoHow big are they?
2·2 days agoImmortals was a banger of a film.
1·2 days agoYou’re probably right. All the more important to enjoy the good news whilst it lasts, I guess!
Makes sense, thanks
I’m not sure if I’m imagining things or it’s deliberate on your part, but there seems to be an increase in what I’d call ‘good news stories’ in this group at the moment, which is good to see imo.
3·2 days agoI’m hopefully going to be installing a bird box in a tree at the end of our garden, if the weather stays dry.
Wow, some commendable stuff there! Nice one!
Good, although I wonder how they caught them in the end?
Oh absolutely. There’s a reason that Reduce and Reuse are before Recycle in the Three Rs.

Negative news has a greater impact on people than positive: https://assets.csom.umn.edu/assets/71516.pdf
Media sites know this, and use it to drive engagement:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01538-4
https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/social-media-facebook-twitter-politics-b1870628.html
And so, negative headlines are getting worse: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0276367
But negative news is addictive and psychologically damaging: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/why-we-worry/202009/the-psychological-impact-negative-news
So it’s important to try and stay positive:

If you want a break from the constant negativity, here are some sites that report specifically on positive news:

Remember, realistic optimism is important and, unlike what some might have you believe, is not the same as blissful ignorance or ‘burying your head in the sand’: https://www.learning-mind.com/realistic-optimism-blind-positivity/

And doesn’t mean you must stay uninformed on current affairs: https://www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/how-to-stop-doom-scrolling

By-and-large Lemmy has a babies understanding of debate. Everything is black or white, bad or good. No nuance, no subtly just ‘you bad, me right’. Dare to be different from the hive mind? Break out the low effort insults.
7·3 days agoThanks, I hate it.
We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!
5·4 days agoAbsolutely. It’s never too late to keep trying and every little helps:

Regardless of whoever came up with the idea, recycling does help and you should do it:

It may not save the planet on its own, but it is part of the solution.
