Life isn’t always sunny days and crisp mornings. There are bleak moments that give us all a reality check about the existence of the positives and negatives, the good and the bad. 

This is why online groups like Awful Everything exist. The page bio states that it “views all things that are just genuinely awful,” and you will see it as you scroll through. It features unfortunate events and shames people who commit despicable acts. 

We’ve picked out some images that stood out. Just a heads up, this list may make you shake your head in disbelief and disappointment.

    Shades of Walter White being forced to do manual labour at the carwash to compensate for his miserable teacher's salary. You can kinda see why he ended up turning evil.

    We often see messages encouraging happiness and positivity while blocking out negative things. According to life and careers coach Helen Dillon, this mindset isn’t beneficial. As she tells Healthline, it hinders us from critically analyzing our current situation. 

    “Positivity is a good mindset to have, but embracing the negative moments in our lives is what keeps us real,” she said.

    There are no words to describe how much I hate the insurance industry. And I live in a country with universal healthcare, so l'm not directly affected, but they're predatory soulless c***s who feast on people's tragedies. It's currently happening in Valencia. Insurance companies won't pay based on a clause of "extraordinary weather phenomenon"

    As psychotherapist Gillian Fagan points out, negativity is also innate in humans. It is called a negativity bias, where we naturally expect the worst to come. 

    Fagan states that catastrophizing is rooted in our instinct for survival, and focusing too much on the positive may magnify feelings of failure when things don’t go our way.

    Even if I wasn't poor I would buy most of my clothes from the op shop (thrift store). It is pretty common where I live (except maybe in certain suburbs) for people (mostly women) to brag about the deals they have gotten from the op shop. I have a handbag shaped like a book that has gotten a lot of compliments and at least twice it has led to me chatting about deals from op shops with random women at the bar.

    Unpleasantries are a part of life, and it’s all about embracing their presence. Motivation Science Professor Dr. Bobby Hoffman notes that people who are more inclined to accept the negativity around them have better mental health. It all comes down to emotional regulation. 

    In an article for Psychology Today, Dr. Hoffman defines this as the conscious alteration of the appraisal and assessment of the emotion, which, in effect, neutralizes the negative consequences.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    So, what is the shortest path to emotional regulation? Dr. Hoffman suggests restructuring our feelings and responses via simple acts of positive self-talk. It’s also about accepting that bad things happen to everyone, regardless of their personality and the existence of bad karma. 

    “Repeatedly accepting one's negative thoughts and emotions, rather than judging them, may allow individuals to repeatedly experience less negative emotion,” he wrote.

    I think the picture here could be a screengrab of that "social experiment" video where they had two actors pose as an old man and his child bride doing a pre-wedding shoot, to see how bystanders will react. But yeah, absolutely f*****g VILE. Why are some people to hellbent on being allowed to marry children oh wait I know exactly why, don't I? *pukes*

    It's easier to break them and destroy their sense of self when they're that young. Female humans aren't actually considered human over there you know,. Can't have them fighting back like real people.

    Well at least in 2013 , Spain raised the age of consent from 13 to 16. I think most of Europe is 14 to 16. Ireland is 17, Turkey is 18.

    This is not law yet, and let's hope it never becomes one. Approximately 25 female representatives are putting up a strong fight against it, but sadly, religious extremists hold the larger majority in the government. I can say with confidence that the majority of people in Iran do not support this. Having lived in the Middle East, I may not be an expert, but I have gained some understanding of the cultural and political landscape. People’s voices are often drowned out by the ruling powers, and while there are those who are trying to make a change, it’s an uphill battle.

    I looked this up thinking it was fake. Sadly it's not. It gets worse the more you read. It wouldn't lower the age of marriage to 9 for just girls. Boys would also be able to be married at 9. It would legalize unregistered marriages which are often used to get around child marriage laws. It would also remove the rights of divorced women to stay in the marital home and get financial support from the ex-husband. Meanwhile "honor" killings, corporeal punishment of wife/kids, and marital r@pe are still legal. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/10/iraq-reject-changes-to-personal-status-law-which-would-allow-child-marriage-and-further-entrench-discrimination/

    They chose that age because the "prophet" Muhammad married a 9-year-old girl.

    Liar. She was a 14 yr old orphan with no home. Had he not taken her in, her fate would have been far worse in the Wild West of pre-Islamic Arabia. Most of Christendom was marrying at that age, including royalty, so the hypocrisy on this site is, in the words of Anne Coulter, "literally nauseating."

    That happened years ago at a festival near toronto. No outside drinks and they ran out of water to sell in a heat wave and had to use hoses to help people and many ended up sick... many venues changed their policy after that to allow sealed bottles of water in.

    Ok, so that is slightly less than 2 gallons per hour per passenger, or approximately the same fuel consumption as an average car with a single occupant travelling at 70 mph. That's why modern cruise liners and cargo vessels are so big and carry so many passengers and so much cargo, it all about economy of scale. It may seem counter-intuitive but very large cruise and cargo ships are more efficient on a cargo-ton per mile or passenger number per mile basis than almost any other form of transport.
