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.

    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.

    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.

    It doesn’t seem like it was destroyed after they were evicted; it looks like they were causing damage throughout the entire duration of their lease.

    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.

    It would have looked so much better and be so much safer if it had had like a brick outlying and then have like that concrete that had like some pretty rocks in it because at least then it gives you decent gripping and in case there's like snow or something it's a little bit easier to walk on. This is an accident waiting to happen and it's ugly.
