“Muh Guns!!!”
So often miserable people want others to be miserable like them. The gun toting gun lobbyists of the US will never see that if the public don’t have guns they can’t shoot each other, themselves or family members, even by accident.
If, however, these pictures get to you now and make you want to click away, I'll argue to go even further, turn off your browser, put away your phone, and disconnect. After all, it's the weekend.
Sure, taking a walk outside without scrolling might seem dull. But you might be surprised where you can end up if you allow your mind to roam free. "Boredom is a symptom, not a condition. In other words, no one is born bored. It arises due to certain conditions," Manhattan-based psychotherapist, speaker, and author Sean Grover told Bored Panda.
"Underneath boredom is always frustration. When frustration is met with passivity, boredom is a natural outcome," Grover, who has 25 years of experience working with patients in group therapy in clinics, schools, and health centers, said.

Kids Solve All Problems
Do You Consider This A Human Being?
I hope you didn't mean that in a negative way because pigs are a wonderful, empathetic and intelligent species. Humans would be lucky to be like them instead of how we actually are.

It would be hard to play this little piggy on their toes, I think.

People keep saying US "is becoming 3rd world". I'm from Cambodia. It's run by a known, literal mass murdering dictator who's been in office even before he was ousted in 1993; he walked right back into his office. Hun Sen was "former" Khmer Rouge. Buddhism is enshrined into the constitution. Abortion is Very Much Bad™. Yet, folks can have legal, safe abortions before 12 weeks. After 12 weeks abortions will be performed if it was rape, continuing with the pregnancy will irrevocably harm or kill the carrier & if the fetus will be born severely handicapped. US is NOT 3rd world. It's worse. Also, most Cons/Repubs wouldn't recognize a real Communist if they invited the entire political party to the neighborhood barbecue fundraiser in honor of the local food bank.🙄😒
F**K. Reading this after reading ‘adoption stories.’ More messed up/traumatized kids being given up by 12 year olds, rape victims….. The list goes on. Force people who cannot parent to parent. How many teens I knew in school l. ‘Nature and Nurture,’ the evidence of that yes, our core nature is present at birth and nurture determines the possibilities, ( eg. supportive, stable home environment, counselling. Might mean some well adjusted kids rise up out of their background.
Most people don't educate themselves. Most are followers, if they weren't followers, imagine how different things would be. Less fighting, more educated understanding.
Nice 1 Nate ....can't believe these insane people who think it's OK for a CHILD whos Been raped to av a child ...to b raped is bad enough but to then b made to av the child in my opinion is torture and abuse and these people are no better than the person who committed the rape ...cruel
A sting operation! Human and pig embryos look almost identical at that stage. That does not change the fact that one of them will grow into a human child and the other into a pig. Might as well post a pic of a faux-leather jacket and ask if a vegan would wear it! Edit: I'm pro-life but really angry that places that want to ban abortion are terrible at a) sex education and providing basic contraception and b) providing social support for parents and children. USA I'm looking mainly at you, but also Ireland...
if you were actually pro-life, you would care about the lives ruined by unwanted pregnancies & would support the people who have to make the tough decision to get an abortion. if you were actually pro-life, you would realize that more harm is done by forcing people to endure pregnancy, birth, & raising a child when it isn't possible for them mentally, physically, &/or financially, & you would value those lives as much as you value a non-sentient clump of cells. if you were actually pro-life, you would recognize that the best way to ensure people live the best lives possible is to give them freedom & choice, & to allow children to grow up in stable homes where they're actually wanted & supported. pro-choice means that both pro-life & pro-choice people can exist & make decisions that let them live lives that make them happy, without anyone else devaluing their existence & deminishing their quality of life. but no, let's just strip people of their rights & make children live unhappy lives in homes that can't meet their needs. that's definitely "pro-life" /s. the truth is that you don't value anyone's life but your own, which is why you want everyone else to live in a way that matches YOUR twisted "morals" that aren't based in science, logic, reason, or reality, "morals" that can't be applied to everyone's situation whether you like it or not. you're not pro-life. you're anti-rights.

It's a beautiful pig if left to grow and be born
Load More Replies...everybody looked like that, yeah. everybody had a point where they were viable for abortion, & if they were aborted at that point, they wouldn't have cared at all because they wouldn't have even been aware of what was happening in any capacity. it's only human because it's made of human tissue. if you had a large painful mass, made of human tissue, would you remove it? do you consider it human? doesn't matter what you consider, it's made of human tissue & you should keep that mass even if it complicates your health & kills you, even if it worsens your mental health because you aren't prepared to deal with it for the rest of your life, even if it financially drains you because you don't have the funds to pay for your mass to be properly cared for! so which would be more ethical? forcing you to keep living a miserable life with a mass that wouldn't care if it was removed, or removing the mass so you can have a better quality of life?
Load More Replies...no, not at all. if we're talking about human fetuses instead of pigs now... it's just an egg from a female human fertilized by the sperm of a male human, at a stage of development where its potential to grow into a full human is still undecided. its brain doesn't function at a capacity where it can be considered human like you & me; its """soul,""" ie personality, consciousness, awareness of surroundings, do not exist. it is a growing mass of cells. nothing more, nothing less. it has nothing to do with holy beings or religion. it's just something that happens in nature, because of the scientific process of fertilization & gestation, & it's something that can be harmlessly reversed. you're putting too much weight into something that isn't all that special. pregnancy is a scientific process, & abortions are simple medical procedures. accept reality.
Load More Replies...You can't educate people whose decisions are based on moral self righteousness and ignorance of science. They think they ALREADY have all the answers and whatever facts you throw at them will just bounce off.
Load More Replies...The psychotherapist said that boredom is often close friends with feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. And the best way to cure it is a counterintuitive one—surrender.
"Boredom can trigger enormous creativity when we tune in to the underlying frustration and come up with creative solutions," Grover highlighted. "Many inventions came out of tackling boredom and resolving it."
I Know Right
That's The Point Of The Book
They Are Turning The Fricking Lions Gay
"Homosexual" behaviour is far more widespread than people (largely detached from and ignorant of the natural world) know. Which makes claims of such activity as "unnatural" rather pitiful if not hilarious.
Immigrant Prisoners Are Lease To Be Slaves
Unfortunately true. Remember the chain gangs? One can only hope that this modern version at least involves some degree of choice by the convict and some recompense, but it's a very slippery slope.
To illustrate this point, the psychotherapist provided a real-life example. "I work in therapy with a young man who was working from home during the pandemic. He became incredibly bored with his daily life. Through exploring his feelings in therapy, he decided to start playing the piano again."
"He began practicing, and later joined a jazz quartet."
"Now it is one of the most rewarding things in his life. He plays in clubs throughout Manhattan and invites his friends."
Which One Of The Many Mass Shootings Are We Talking About?
I'm sorry I have to admit when my friends were discussing a school shooting, I asked which one. Now when I hear shooting I just ask was it USA. If yes then it's another day, outside I'm interested a little more. It's a bad thing to say, but you have shootings literally every week in schools and I cannot keep up. My country had one shooting, one bullet was shot from hunting rifle. In the last 32years. How? And we also have teenage prisoners, and vandals, and murders but nothing compared to USA. Most of our killings are drinking gone wild and one dies. It's not perfect but guns are not allowed and police cannot shoot the criminal in the back of the body, cannot do fatal shootings. Why do you allow this? Also how come you allow insurance companies decide who gets to live, if you expect doctors to act under oath they gave. You literally make the doctors profession invalid when giving treatment decision to nonmedical persons in stuffy office looking to hit commission

Blindly Playing Yourself
Yet anouther person who can't tell the difference between Communism and Socialism... >sigh<
As Grover pointed out, that whole thrilling journey started from unpacking boredom and coming up with a creative solution. Something that has become increasingly rare in our loud world.
With stimulation right at our fingertips, our tolerance for being bored has greatly diminished.
In fact, two-thirds of American adults routinely look at their phones even when they're not making a sound.

You had a minute and a half of commercial to book it. You had to stand as close to your destination as possible while still being able to see the tv, and then sprint. The absolute joy of getting back in time is a feeling I will never be able to replicate.
This Is Getting Really Sad Now
As a secondary school teacher for 25 years, if you worked out the hourly rate for teachers mathematically, we would be on less than 16 dollars per hour.
In one study, published in the Academy of Management Discoveries, researchers lulled a group into boredom by instructing them to sort beans by color while they gave another group a far more interesting craft to do. Afterward, each group was directed to come up with good excuses for tardiness. The bored group bested their counterparts on both the number and creativity of ideas, as evaluated by objective outside judges.
The It Crowed
Been there, done that. 2 hrs to switch on a power outlet for an IBM 3274 control unit (1980s), which i had been assured 'yes, OF COURSE we checked that!.'
What’s The Problem?
We Did Everything But
How Is This Possible
Another study concluded that boredom motivates people to seek out novelty. Our minds simply wander when we're bored, and we think of new things to try.
The goal, according to Grover, is to dig into the boredom and ask ourselves what is the message it's sending us. "Are you creatively stagnant? Are you lonely? Does your body need exercise? Are you engaged in enough stimulating activities? Are you trying new things?" the psychotherapist said there can be many.

All This Time I Thought It Was Avocados, Not Greed, Causing Unaffordable Housing!
System Failure
But He Needed That Medication
"I encourage people to explore boredom in therapy and consider it a message from their own subconscious," Grover said. "The message is often that they want to lead a more satisfying life."
"Then, pursue new passions with gusto!"
That's The UK Parliament...
That’s the House of Lords. They get £300 just for turning up and subsidised lunch. The government however still did not want to help the huge number of poor children with free school lunches.

i prefer the funny posts i come onto here because there is not much politics i do not want to be brought down by the nutjobs that run my country
The teaser was good, but seeing political bs in the first two spots was dispointing.
Yep. The question about whether easy access to guns is good or bad for the country, or makes us safer or less safe, is purely political. 🙄
Load More Replies...Let the idiots keep their gun - remove bullets. Replace with rubber bullets - rubber bullets still cause damage, still hurt like f**k, still act as a weapon and way to protect yourself from the boogie man.
They can still kill. There were deaths in Northern Ireland from rubber bullets.
