All Problems Solved Everywhere

“If you feel stuck or unproductive, take a look at how positive or negative you’ve been feeling or thinking lately and try to get some more of those feel-good emotions in your day.” {From: How Positive Thinking Can Improve Your Focus and Creativity @ Lifehacker.com}

Oh, that’s the trick, is it? Well, that’s simple. Excuse me, I just need to run out and pick up a copy of Cheer Up, Stupid! and I’ll be right as rain!

Consumers Of Alienation

“Begone, old stereotypes of sad sack singletons living alone and mourning their solo existence while covered in cats! New census data shows that there are a record number of singles in the U.S., and they’re spending a bunch of money all on their own. And they’re just fine with that single status, so stop asking what her sign is.” {From: A Record Number Of American Consumers Are Single, Don’t Really Feel The Need To Mingle – The Consumerist.}

I think it’s rude to hit on people while they are shopping (or at least it is when I do it), but it’s bigger than that: If you hit on single people who are trying to spend money, they may get creeped out and head for home early, with money still in their wallets/purses. Thus, we see how hitting on random strangers is RUINING THE ECONOMY.
