@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."

I heard that Rocket League is cross platform(or going to be) so Pc users can play with PS4 and Xbox one users. I plan to get it during the summer sale tho.

Put the vibe out there and go to places you like to go to. Wear a modestly nerdy shirt that shows your anime love. Realistically the best thing you can do is try and attract someone who has an interest but is probably isnt as into it. If you are a hardcore OTAKU but for sure go to anime conventions and strut your stuff like confidant guy that you are and at least one girl will look at you or you will talk to one and she will have an interest in you. If there are other things you can do to boost your confidence then go for it and do it.

Dont focus to much on this girl. It fallows the "Dont put all of your eggs in one basket" the reason why you would want to do this is because there is a chance she isnt into you and you could get rejected. This way it feels like more of a 5 foot drop than a 10 story fall. Also just talk to her and make sure you make her laugh. Dont text too much, if you want to see her then just set something up. If you arent confident enough to ask her out on a date then suggest a hanging out. This is a much better way to gauge her level of attraction towards you than through Texts.

buck, man, I haven't seen any of those shows except for that I started watching Clannad. I'd recommend Puella Magi Madoka Magica to anyone wanting a good story though. The pretty colors are free of charge.
