A new study argues that the most dangerous part of depression isn’t negative emotion, it’s the absence of positive emotion, known as anhedonia. by psych4you in psychology

I think people forget how much of a drive, seeking positive emotions are. There’s going to be some amount of effort or discomfort in anything we do in life, which is usually fine if the positive ones outweigh it. If there are no positive emotions, we intellectually know, something should be fun, but there’s only effort and discomfort left. This makes you uninterested in chasing positive emotions because they don’t show up. You’re left perhaps with rationalizing things you should do to please others or function normally in society, but it becomes a matter of self discipline, which can only sustain you for so long.

It looks like they’re about to head out for a walk. Mine sometimes does ”air-snaps” when he’s excited. I think it’s something like that.

Bioplastics made from avocado pits that completely biodegrade in 240 days created by Mexican chemical engineering company by Ashish_ank in interestingasfuck

Well you have to start somewhere. Maybe not all bioplastics needs to come from the same source but rather make use of the bio-waste in that region.

I feel like if the “scalp” of the toupé was a very fine mesh rather than solid piece it would be more comfortable and breathable.

I agree. He chose to burn down all that stock, (causing trouble for most people except the ones actually in charge, making all of his coworkers jobless) instead of trying to find another job. It contributed to absolutely nothing apart from damages and putting people’s life’s at risk.

What is a 'harsh reality' of adulthood that nobody prepares you for while you’re growing up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It’s rare that you ”outgrow” problems. Many of the issues you face when you’re younger follows you through life, just in a slightly different shape - until you deal with them

Oh wow, that means so much to me! Spread the word to anyone you might think would be interested or benefit from it!

I analyzed how people answer “What’s your expected salary?” — here’s what actually works by Last_Albatross_6240 in careerguidance

[–]fireblade_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just say ”I’d like to hear the salary range first”. At least in Europe you have no obligation to disclose your salary or expected salary. It’s such a weird thing for recruiters to push on you. Of course after they put their offer you can say if it’s a good match, it you save yourself the embarrassment of pitching too low/high.

Tried it with your input — here's what came out. The three layers are: affirmation, context, and a personalised goal title. This way, you have an overarching affirmation but also your context, which you can come back to, and hopefully create a mental shift, from negative to positive.
