A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.
The rules:
1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.
2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.
3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

I had a very animated discussion with a Vietnam vet a couple weeks ago. He saw the disabled veteran license plate on my car and asked me about it. We somehow very quickly got to bitching about Trump and idiotic MAGA policies lol
I know it's rare, but they do exist
Not enough, unfortunately. Too many elderly people, vets, and other groups just support the same tire and old b******* each year.
For this take I sentence you to go have lunch at the nearest senior home and actually talk to your fellow human beings living there
Bunch of younger people paying for the older generation's retirement. I think I've heard of this before...

suicide sounds good right about now. I honestly thought I was turning a corner until I read this.
Look out which country you risk your life for.
Or are forced to risk your life for.
Yeah, stupid is more common than brave.
I can't believe they make me kill children and rape their parents. Well nothing i can do.
Yes, because every single soldier is a rapist. Every last one.
It's idiots that think murdering and stealing resources in countries far away is doing something 'for your country'.
