    I have a 2 year old and live in Nevada. Now I know to avoid taking my kid to swim in warm fresh water ponds, so, kinda helpful?

      What this user advocates for is Blissful Ignorance. They’d rather rather bury their head in the sand; and if that’s the case, then they either (a) should contribute to such threads with the sort of news they expect, or (b) unsubscribe and seek out places such as UpliftingNews.

      Anything less than these options and the person is a essentially a spoiled choosy beggar in my view who spreads just as much if not more negativity in their comments as they allege from OP’s submission.

      The user acts and quacks like a troll — or at least someone so imperceptibly-off that they lack a moment’s introspection to see that blissful ignorance invokes FAR more misery in this world than what he suggests.
