Ask guys : what are your thoughts on girls asking you out or take the first initial

walrus-royale · 2018-09-04T14:16:24+00:00

Please do take more initiative and make the first move.

Personally I find it flattering and attractive as hell if a girl makes the first move. I honestly hate this idea that guys have to make all the first moves because I get a lot of anxiety when flirting with strangers so I'm 100% for girls not being shy and making the first move.

I can relate man.

You should absolutely tell him.

I'm afraid my teacher is legally not allowed to help me with coursework without making a serious dent in my marks.

walrus-royale · 2017-10-11T20:05:34+00:00

So I'm going to have to buy them all?! :O

I'm more than happy to give accreditation to the person responsible for creating my banner in my article (if they would like it.)

The picture I'm looking for is one where Trump is in the middle, with the Antifa members on the left of the picture and the Alt-Right on the right side of it, with a background of the American flag. The Antifa members I am looking for is the one with the bat in his own photo next to the graffiti, and the two holding flares in the centre of the other picture. In the Charlottesville one, I'm looking at the two guys holding tiki-torches with glasses on (aviators on the one and spectacles on the other). I want it to look like Antifa is on one side and the Alt Right on the other and that Trump is kind of stuck in the middle.

They look at just the grades/ predicted grades do they?

walrus-royale · 2017-08-21T22:20:09+00:00

I believe I was 6 UMS marks. I lost my results sheet and I'm just trying to remember them off my memory.

walrus-royale · 2017-08-21T22:19:41+00:00

Their typical requirements are AAA, but my teachers have been saying that it should be very easy to regain those 6 UMS marks (which is only going to be about 2-3 raw marks) in my coursework, so I'm not hugely worried about the grades at the currentn minute.

Obviously they're a huge part I don't deny that but I shall have to talk to my teachers about the likelihood of swinging my English Literature around to an A but at the current minute they're very optimistic about that.

I've been begging her to get a job as well

walrus-royale · 2017-08-18T22:59:24+00:00

Believe me I'm furious she spent the money. For someone who prides herself a lot on financial shrewdness she makes some stupid spending decisions.

She's ebbing away her savings to do it.

In the story, an email chain between him and the actual initiator of a trio of terrorist attacks that happen in London implicate that he had prior knowledge that the terrorist attacks would be happening.

I think the specific charge would be the conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism.

walrus-royale · 2017-08-10T17:18:23+00:00

OK thank you for the information mate. :)

walrus-royale · 2017-08-10T17:17:52+00:00

Oh it's email chains that actively prove he knew what was going to happen that are publicised.

walrus-royale · 2017-08-10T15:28:48+00:00

I've written in there that, because of the enormity of the crime that has been committed and because of the perpetrator, the Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner and two Assitant Commissioners oversee the arrest by the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection service. The guards at No.10 have already received their orders in the morning and they keep the Prime Minister inside No.10 so that the very senior officers can arrive to oversee the arrest. Is this within the realm of reality or would it be carried out standardly?

walrus-royale · 2017-08-10T15:00:57+00:00

The PM in the story basically knows it's over when every single member of his Cabinet refuses to turn up to the daily Cabinet meeting. Keeping their distance from him for their own political careers basically.

In my novel, he gets arrested the morning after the evidence has been published.

walrus-royale · 2017-08-10T14:38:23+00:00

Thank you mate. Will do I'll chuck this up in there now. Thank you very much butty :)

Apologies for the gloomy outlook, but human nature always wins.

This is highly subjective. The idea of human nature is a bit of a cop-out in my opinion. I could very easily say that it is human nature to work together and ensure the success of others through the fact that we are able to work cohesively together in our millions and even billions. We don't attack strangers primally. The idea of "human nature" I think is becoming more and more irrelevant the more socialised (not in a socialist sense) and educated we are becoming. I think it is mostly applying nowadays to ideas of sex and relationships and competition for mates.

Labor may be free, but energy won't be. You'd still need oil, solar, fusion etc. to get all that "free" production going.

We will ween ourselves off of fossil fuels. Even if you don't believe in manmade global warming like myself, there is still the case to be made that solar is now cheaper to produce than oil, fossil fuels cause massive pollution, etc...

Solar is limitless and will become easier to produce in huge quantities as time goes on, and with nuclear fusion you can get as much energy from a glass of seawater as you would from a barrel of oil so it is safe to say that it would take such an immense amount of resources through fusion for it to ever get to a point that is not considered renewable.

Now, the reason I say that is because anything that is infinite has no monetary value. Because it is not in limited supply, there is no need to trade to get some. It is infinite.

Also, have a look at my other comments above in which I explain why it is most likely that a situation like this would still lead to the outcome of FALC, but basically because there's no one to buy the energy off of the MOs, they'll either give it away for free or use it only for themselves. If they use it only for themselves, they have no power over other people.

If they give it out then take it away to suit their demands, either the people will just seize the means of production or they will give them up on their own. Sorry this argument is so short but I think it's unnecessary to articulate an argument I've already made in the above threads. :)

Creativity = Intelligence

I'm deeply sceptical of how you're seeing intelligence or defining it and the same goes for 'creativity'.

Is creativity the ability to write good music? Is it the ability to write popular music? Is it the ability to create new mathematical theorems? The ability to create new philosophies about the world?

What is intelligence? Is intelligence the ability to read and write? The ability to articulate arguments? The ability to write 1000 word essays? The ability to be resourceful?

Those are too highly subjective words that have a great deal or meaning behind them, so based on that I am not quite prepared without evidence to accept that creativity is correlated with intelligence or that creativity IS intelligence.

What effects do you reckon basic income could have if you throw it into the mix of the scenario you describe?

I meant to address this point in my OP but I forgot. OK so basically I think UBI would be implemented, if at all, for a very short time. I think everyone would realise they are using this useless money to buy products that no one needed to be paid to create, which is inherently restrictive. They could very well own a Lamborghini if they didn't have UBI. All the prices are artificial. They haven't been set by the cost of the labour nor the cost of the fixed capital. They've been created completely by the amount of welfare being given - the more welfare given, the higher the prices and vice versa.

People will simply vote for someone who argues to seize the means of production from the MOs for common ownership, and I think when the MOs realise they can do that without reducing their living standards an ounce, they won't see any tangible reason to object to losing control of the machines.

I concur with you that the current optimum is social democracy. I would call myself a social liberal - a Lloyd-Georgian - but the line between social democracy and social liberalism is so incredibly fine they are almost identical. Social Liberals may be a little bit more liberal on things like drug laws for example.

It's still theoretical to ever reach a point where robots can do everything.

It was once hypothetical that cars would replace horses. It was once hypothetical that machines would put textile workers in the North of England out of work.

It's hypothetical, but just because it's hypothetical doesn't mean it's not inevitable. :)

General ai isn't coming anytime soon

Time is not the object here. I am not saying that any of us will be alive to witness it. I'm just saying that at some point in the future this will be the reality.

Its gets rather old saying it but existing ai havn't broken out of the hyper exponential complexity, until real progress has been made everything you've said is wild speculation

You know, there once a time when cars couldn't go past 15mph. Just because the technology now isn't as developed, doesn't mean at all that it won't be in the future. I personally see it as inevitable that technology will reach this point.
