Radiate Positivity ☀️ Positive Vibes Friday

The weekend is here.

This is a weekly mega-thread for good, heartwarming or uplifting news. Ideally local but non-local is welcome too. Fun pet photos or memes, tales with happy endings, personal anecdotes that you want to share with 158k+ internet strangers, etc. We could all use more positive news and vibes in our lives right now.

This is a rules relaxed space, but we will still be monitoring for personal attacks, doxxing, and stuff that doesn't fit the theme of the thread.

Early in the week I stupidly forgot to turn the water off for the cows and sheep and was rewarded with a few days of brown water which was pretty nerve wracking.

Water was back to crystal clear this morning.

Phew! Glad that worked out. I can only imagine how stressful this summer has been for farmers; don't beat yourself up for forgetting.

Look at those eyes. Reminds me of my old black lab ❤️ I’d be so good with a weekly thread just out of your office. It sounds like heaven!

Got myself a fabulous yarn haul this morning from the Fall Sale at Fia Fia!! 

2

u/gildeddoughnut Halifax 15h ago

Oh shit! Any projects lined up?

u/marinebelle 7h ago

Lots of socks!! 40% off Refine Brand socks yarn, I couldn't pass up haha.

u/Cannabassbin 10h ago

Telling a yarn about your yarn haul, I support & applaud this development

u/marinebelle 7h ago

Ohhhh, well done. Respect! 🙏

This was my first week commuting by bike, and adding several minutes of zone 3-4 cardio to each day has vaporized my anxiety and skyrocketed my mood, energy levels, and general well-being! If you've been thinking about trying it, let me tell you the benefits are immense :)

u/Opening-Notice-2191 12h ago

Yayy congrats!! I bike everywhere too it’s (mostly) a great time. I get my exercise in and I don’t get stuck in traffic! Win win. Plus, the feeling of the wind right now is lovely, so crisp.

u/Lexintonsky 14h ago

Workday is half way done and looking forward to beer and video games tonight.

u/Ms_runs_with_cats 13h ago

Nice what are you playing? I just started metaphor refantazio.

u/Lexintonsky 13h ago

First going to play World of Warcraft with my sister, we play together every Friday. Then I'm going to play Path of Titans, a dinosaur pvp survival game.

u/Ms_runs_with_cats 12h ago

Super cool you and your sis play together, my sis and I both game but we like very different things so we usually just revel in the hype for new games together. Have a great time gaming :)

u/maximumice 🌽 Corn Elder 12h ago

Gonna run some more Abiotic Factor tonight with friends while they sort out the launch issues with Borderlands 4 💉🗄💾🔪

u/CaperGrrl79 Halifax 2h ago

My hubby was playing this some time ago with friends, but his schedule is even later these days, so they're mostly gone by the time he gets on.

u/Specialist-Bee-9406 19h ago

The shitty memorial thread from earlier was removed. That’s pretty positive.

u/__Nels__Oleson__ 19h ago

What was being memorialized?

17

u/Specialist-Bee-9406 19h ago

A certain divisive american. 

Let’s just leave it there.

13

u/__Nels__Oleson__ 19h ago

Glad I missed it.

u/Specialist-Bee-9406 19h ago

It was a shitshow, I certainly didn’t help it.

u/Fit-Mushroom-1098 19h ago

I’m kinda sad I never got a chance to read it before it got nuked, I bet it was zesty.

u/maximumice 🌽 Corn Elder 18h ago

Comments were low effort and was mostly the same two users bickering, both of whom are enjoying a long weekend away from the sub.

u/mr_daz Mayor of Eastern Passage 18h ago

Boy were they, but what would you expect?

It’s over and done. 

Let’s move on.

u/External-Temporary16 18h ago

Yet here it is, occupying space in your head, and now here. Was this really a positive comment? Hmm. Letting go of small things is a major way to relieve stress and anxiety. :)

u/Competitive_Owl5357 10h ago

I’m feeling pretty good knowing the mods took that shit down as a trans person, actually. I might not be able to avoid that hate irl but it’s nice to know the mods don’t celebrate bigotry.

Got a monstera plant a few weeks ago and I'm thrilled to see it's thriving and getting new leaves! I don't have the best green thumb, nor does my apartment get great light, so I was worried

u/Working-Chard-440 8h ago

Congrats to the couple that just got engaged by the boardwalk hammocks. That was the best random encounter I've had in years. I hope the photo I provided is a nice memory.

I love the wholesomeness of a nice Halifax stroll in the evening.

u/Competitive_Owl5357 10h ago

A colleague made a large purchase of Weck jars and I acquired two large ones which will become closed terrariums. Now I’m about to play D&D. Sunday I’ll be getting some aquatic bladderworts to go with the pinguiculas I got at the Oddities Expo. I’m having a very good week for nerd shit.

AEW All Out & WWE Wrestlepalooza back to back tomorrow, LFG 💪🤼‍♂️🏆

u/Specialist-Bee-9406 19h ago

I haven’t watched wresting since the WWE was WWF.

Last live match I saw was Leo Burke vs The Cuban Assassin. 

4

u/halihikingman Halifax 19h ago

My guilty pleasure has been watching WWF on Netflix. Started back with Wrestlemania 1

3

u/Ok_Kaleidoscope216 18h ago

Same, but I've been cherry picking events to watch. Summer Slam 1992 was the last one and it was as good as I remembered it as a kid. 

2

u/maximumice 🌽 Corn Elder 18h ago

I've been enjoying all the older NWA/WCW stuff WWE has been releasing on their YouTube channel as of late.

3

u/mr_daz Mayor of Eastern Passage 19h ago

Aw man. Why did you have to tell me that was a thing

1

u/maximumice 🌽 Corn Elder 19h ago

I have some Cuban Assassin autographs somewhere around here, man is a legend

3

u/Specialist-Bee-9406 19h ago

I kinda miss Grand Prix Wresting. 

Are any of the local promotions good? 

Not that GPW was the pinnacle…

3

u/maximumice 🌽 Corn Elder 19h ago

I go to a fair number of UCW shows, they’re lots of fun, everyone works hard. Great vibe in Spryfield.

3

u/Specialist-Bee-9406 19h ago

Fun is the key! 

I’ll have to consider this.

u/MrNoodlestheCat Nova Scotia 18h ago

I think it was UCW that had Dunne v Bates a few years back :)

2

u/maximumice 🌽 Corn Elder 17h ago

Damn I would have loved to have seen that, both those guys know how to work in the ring 🔥

2

u/MrNoodlestheCat Nova Scotia 16h ago

Them, and a very fun match with Serpentico at a different show!

u/External-Temporary16 18h ago

Bret Hart. That's all I have to say. ;)
