Hey. What can I say, I'm just me and that's who I'm gonna be. Probably not dating material but I could always use more friends that I can talk to about anime, manga, comics, wrestling and whatnot. I just live a pretty simple life, mostly work but when I have time to chill I check crunchyroll to see what's on or read the comics I bought for the week. I guess I miss having a girl I can chat with for hours without it necessarily getting romantic. Kinda hoping to meet girls with similar interests to talk and/or debate with.

So is anyone here going? I admit at first I didn't care until HOLY SHIT, RAZOR RAMON, so I just gotta go.

Socialism or Democracy?

@shawnji: exactly! Social democracy. You pointed out an assumption that I hadn't made clear. That the current system works, but now it's just a question of adjustment of those two factors, namely free market competition and citizen welfare, that is required to make things fair. Interesting that you brought up the future. Mass automation certainly is coming, and it will first dominate the unskilled labor sector. The repercussions for future generations? Hopefully more will go to college to become specialized. But this leads me to question: what about full mass automation? What will happen when even white collar guys are replaced? I haven't a clue, and this could very well happen before 2100. Universal income sounds...like a not good idea to me at first glance. To be honest I haven't looked at it too deeply yet. All I know is that, quite recently, Switzerland voted about 70% against it. So I'm inclined to believe it isn't fully worked out yet just how such a system would work. I'd have to read up on it more to discuss the subject any further. @sunbae: I still don't see your logic behind the government "turning into an individual". Mind clarifying? As far as your sports argument goes, you're right: for the year 2013-2014, UCLA sports teams generated approximately 35% of the school's annual revenue. But this is an extreme case, as the other UC's sports teams generated less than 10% on average. However, most of the funding for UCLA sports comes in the form of private DONATIONS. If the school were to become 100% government funded, it wouldn't matter. Donations are still accepted, as they are not vehicles for investment. Government subsidies, in the corporate world, make little sense. But in the small-business to mid-cap world? They make perfect sense. In the ultra-competitive market we have in place, any bit of assistance is a godsend in trying to setup shop. Maintaining your foothold is even harder. Taxes that go into subsidies help small business. Of course, it also goes to corporations who dont really need it but, thats how taxes work: a little bit goes to everyone. The legislation that dictates who receives subsidies certainly needs some revision though. So it really depends on which context you're looking at it. And of course tuition would be free for everyone, rich or poor. Imagine the backlash from the mid-upper class if it weren't...

The guy who's hitting with me came back from Japan, and sent me the pic of kinky stuff he bought, like Onahole etc. This morning he just sent a text saying he wanna try BDSM on me. https://data.desustorage.org/a/image/1452/23/1452230176178.png

The Lion and the Sheep The current of collective minds, thoughts occur in it. 100 sheep in the daylight like fully flowing water, Until one sheep decides to drink from a different creek. Her coat turned black, she sunk through the cracks, into the night no going back. Into the night the black sheep turns into a light. Like an alien with too much space she felt alone, separate from her own race. A lost soul in the empty abyss, her family and friends were who she missed. Almost turning back but never giving in, the emptiness she explores, and her journey begins. Like the Lillie leaning in the window she wished for a sun. Projecting herself in the name of love, she had finally found someone. Only this the someone had to say: the worst thing that can happen to a human is this, nothing... because we will all be pushing up daisy's anyway. The light switch went on, their forms no longer white photons. A white lion, a black sheep, together they created their keep. The only words they ever speak: "I'd rather be in the dark with 10 lions than in the daylight with 100 sheep."
