alice is a woman from Corvallis, Oregon, USA
I have finished my master's degree in history and am now on to the more odious task of attempting to find a job. This task is currently meeting total failure, which has me in a positively foul mood. I am slave to two cats. I generally like most animals as well, or better than many people. I am addicted to listening to books on tape and I enjoy art. I am an INFP, I guess and according to information "Life," for us, "is a very serious matter." While this is true it is also a source of virtually unimaginable joy. (INFP 1.5% of US population. I suspect these percentages vary culturally.

From the page: Why should you thumb sites up?
* The primary goal of thumbing-up sites is to improve the quality of your future stumbles. By thumbing up, you are telling us what you like, so we can show you more of that.
* You are also contributing to our discovery philosophy: your ratings help surface the best of the web. Your favorites are then shared with like-minded people, including your Subscribers.
* You are indirectly bookmarking the sites that you like, so you can access them later in your profile, from any computer, by going to your Tags as shown in the image below.
I kinda like the information -- and might have used it 2 years ago, but the thing is, what is really cool about SU is that it has allowed a lot of us to do a lot of different things. The way to make SU better is not to make us all do the same thing but to build a system that actually allows us to use it as we see fit. Still I think it is nice to get official word on how our thumb ups and downs play within the system.
Some people's main goal is to bookmark sites -- not to do so indirectly. And then I am not at all sure (STILL) what the effect of my thumbing down for example portraits -- I want art, but not art with people in it -- somehow I do not think the system can cope with that level of complexity.
AND the dang font in V4 is much to small and wimpy for my over 40 year old eyes. -
Ryan Sager - Neuroworld - Japanese for Happy - True/Slant

As I recall not so long ago there was a study that suggested we do not understand even our own definitions of happiness.
I think for me happiness and contentment are closely related and that both are a product of productivity. -

t r u t h o u t | Our Corrupt Occupation of Afghanistan
Rated • 1 review • afghanistan, war • truthout.org
From the page: US military officials in Kabul estimate that a minimum of 10 percent of the Pentagon's logistics contracts in Afghanistan consists of protection payments to insurgents, Aram Roston reports in The Nation. In southern Afghanistan - where General McChrystal wants to send more troops - security firms can't physically protect convoys of American military supplies. There's no practical way to move the supplies without paying the Taliban. So, like Milo Minderbinder in Catch-22, we're supplying both sides of the war. -
