A badass will be forgiven for having no money or ambition(not to say you could or even should be like this). If you could at least show some initiative then a woman might see potential in you. Your attitude is everything.
Personally I often give women the initial impression of being poorer than I am. For a number of reasons money is not the best foot to put forward even when you have a lot of it(unless you're totally beta).
What's mine is theirs I say. To share is to care, including sharing my girlfriend. I am touchy about some things, however, I practically crucified my mate the day he changed my homepage.
The elites may have the better weaponry, but we would have the crucial element of surprise and the numbers. The power of the masses has never been in our words and minds, but in our numbers - which is why modern "individualism" has resulted in a social regression for the majority of the people. Individualism put women in the workplace, and now both parents in an ordinary family have to work. This is a social regression(and also a different rant).
Alternative: The elites will continue to peddle liberalism, feminism, modern parenting/schooling and singledom to make the masses as infertile and dysfunctional as possible - whilst they themselves get married, stay married, and send their kids to well-disciplined elite schools. They will do everything they can to drive the population and the potential of the masses down, and then wipe us out. (this scenario could come after we've been living off government wages for generations).
They do this already with feather-bedded industries and non-jobs.
They will pay us to keep us quiet. Through a combination of cheap and stimulating entertainment and gruel that can be made to taste not so much like gruel they will keep us quiet. The rich pay for the welfare state to provide riot insurance and crime prevention - the future will be more of the same.
I don't think the elite are daft enough to follow the Austrian economics route where the 1% will arm robots with flamethrowers and let them loose on the 99% "lice". It's too much risk for the elites, the cheerleaders and fanboys of the elites may not understand why the elites won't do this, but I don't believe they will. Just a few of us within the 99% were to break into one of their elite safe zones could do massive damage with the weapons technology available even to primitive militias.
Suffice it to say there is nothing on the horizon that could soak up the unemployment of the future. The new industries that we're creating in Britain today employ miniscule amounts of people, and they've still yet to be simplified and rationalised and ultimately destroyed like the old industries were.
The amusing irony is that for a long time everybody thought that white collar work was the future, but the reality is that these are the skills most easily made redundant and these are the people pricing themselves out of jobs. By and large the robots and computers of tomorrow will take over the role of the middle classes long before the working class. In a sense we see this already, in Britain a plumber is paid just as much as a solicitor - evident of how saturated white collar labour markets are.
I think life will be easier with the technology, I believe that we'll reach a compromise with the elite that doesn't involve killing off swathes of the population, however, morally we will become the wretches of the earth.
We'll live hedonistically off our government rations and our grandchildren will look up at us today as being noble and honourable - this is how far we'll sink morally.
Read the post. Did I mention seniors or the sick? The able-bodied of working age - we don't need them, not many of them, and we need fewer of them each year.

These jobs will be ok.
If you look around you now and see a cubicle - then you're for the chop. The factories of the 21st century which are now white collar factories will be gone. Call centres will go first, and then IT, sales and marketing departments etc - these people are but a sophisticated algorithm away from unemployment. The people who work with their hands will get off lightly by comparison, computers are a greater to marketeers and accountants than they are to plumbers.
Little more than 60% of working age Americans are employed with Europe being a little over 70%. A large part of our debt and deficit come from "occupying" people we no longer have any real use for. What I'm talking about has already begun.
Governments will either increasingly regulate inefficiency into the economy and make it mandatory to employ Human mental and physical labour where robots would be the more efficient option, or, we'll be paid a government wage to do nothing and most of first world Humanity spends its time hooked up to a pleasure tube.
There is one for me and there is one for you. That's the problem. That's why the world won't need you or me anymore. My prediction: 80% of white collar and 70% of blue collar work gone within the next 20 years(with a fraction of new jobs coming through to replace them). Technology today isn't like the advances that have come before, this time we have truly surpassed ourselves.
And maybe we do have a hand in the world's problems. But if it wasn't for science, the modern science that the genius of the European has created, then these immigrants would not even exist to begin with. We're equals peoples.
No, I'm not massively concerned. Perspective tells me to keep a lid on first world guilt and sensitivity, these are a pittance of those who die tragically across the world every hour of every day.
What they lack in physical stature they more than make up for in numbers, blind obedience to authority, and an overwhelming need to conform. Did you know for example that 10 of them, when of roughly equal proportion, can combine together and form a Mega Gook?
Someone to talk to. I don't mean literally - I've got lots of friends and lovers - I mean someone to talk to on that deeper level.
My ex was actually a lawyer and a feminist(in denial feminist)so she was heinously self-interested and every conversation was actually more of a play for "hand" in the relationship(which made it easier for me to leave her), but normally the best thing for me about a healthy and loving relationship is having someone you can open up to.
The problem with freedom and equality is that they eventually rob a people of its vision, unity, organisation, enthusiasm and discipline. The vision and ambition of great men to build a society of good, better and best is utterly thwarted without hierarchy. Equality is destined to become mediocrity just as surely as freedom is destined to become chaos.
Our political elite is entirely middle class and almost entirely privately-educated. Politics is a great example of my point. Politics which requires socially savvy pragmatists with a strong grip on earthy reality - the best politic is realpolitik - suffers greatly from being a gilded trade of bourgeoisie careerist ideologues. I have known many laypeople whose gifts would make them much better leaders than those that we have, but we'll never know until the final hour.
That depends. If it's a love that's destined to be then who am I to stand in the way? But if it turns out to be a fling then I would feel disrespected.
Yes, spelling does matter. People who do not read are those who cannot spell. It's poor focus, low attention-spans and an over-reliance upon technology which is making people so bad at spelling. I notice a great deal of overlap between those who cannot spell and those who cannot listen.
Unless they're dyslexic of course. Dyslexic is just middle class for "can't read"(not really).
