yosamanthrax:

Serious questions.

I know there are a lot of smart and happy people out there, but do you think it’s possible to be too smart… to be happy? Like, you think too critically about everything, you’re keen to the bullshit, and in general, you pay attention to things that other people are able to ignore, making for less enjoyable experiences?

I don’t think I’m a genius by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have a bad habit of overanalyzing everything which usually includes the possible outcomes and when I don’t like the possible outcomes then I don’t partake, which actually ends up with me not partaking in a lot. Too cautious, or something. Maybe I’m confusing cautious with smarts.

This makin’ any sense?

Studies have found that smart people drive themselves mad because they can never stop thinking about things.

““Religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality. And the protections that we have for religion — we protect religion. And talk about a lifestyle choice — that is absolutely a choice… It’s a travesty that people have forced someone who is gay to have to make their case that they deserve the same basic rights as someone else…””

Can someone explain this one to me?

Remember that Carrie Prejean girl? That Miss California who is against gay marriage and received so much positive support from Christians and politicians?

Well this bitch got caught with a fucking sex tape .

Now explain to me why she gets to be the poster child of purity with a sex tape in her back pocket? Why does she get to be wholesome while homosexuals are viewed as impure?

dhk:

We’ll stick with the ‘misery is an equal opportunity employer’ argument…

Honestly, why do so many people give a shit what people do with other people on their own time, behind their own doors? Oh wait, it’s because they hate their lives and like the argument for the above, misery <3’s company.

Contrasting images from Maine. On the left, the people who had their rights taken away by a majority vote. And on the right, the people who happily celebrated, and put their hard work, time, and money into taking away the rights of their fellow human beings. (Images via Daylife)

This is very, very sad

I need some good, flavorful, low-fat crock pot recipes.

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:22:19 -0500

yosamanthrax:

I’ve found lots of low-fat crock pot recipes, but they all seem bland as hell.

Veggie chili:

Half a zucchini

1 can of beans (pinto, kidney, or red)

16oz of your favorite salsa

Half a cup of ketchup

Taco seasoning (half a packet)

1/4 green bell pepper

salt and pepper to taste

Throw it all in your crockpot and let it sit for like two hours. It’s HEAVENLY! Especially with cheese and Sunchips.

National Youth Homelessness Awareness Month: Ways to Get Involved

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:10:11 -0500

National Youth Homelessness Awareness Month: Ways to Get Involved:

“Children make up 27% — the fastest growing segment — of the U.S. homeless population, and there’s no end in sight; the recession has forced many families out of their homes, making these youth just another group on the long list of victims, moving from couch to couch, shelter to shelter. But for many, economic stresses are just another ingredient in dysfunctional home lives, leading many to run away. They escape their home only to find new dangers and challenges; as many have pointed out, it’s not that these youth are living on the streets — they’re surviving, at best. And while Obama’s economic stimulus plan has funneled $1.5 billion to fight homelessness, virtually all of that money goes to homeless families, not unaccompanied youth.”
