The Relationship Thread II: Lost in that Last Goodbye

[charlesr]

......... Trolling us.

[speedlolita]

Saves her buying a PSVR eh?

[MrKirov]

Just took her home.

Best date ever.

That is all.

......... Trolling us.

You're just realising this now??

His next post will be about how she's ghosted him.

Not sure what that’s supposed to mean?

Secondly, knowing my luck that’s exactly what will happen, seems to be the way it keeps going for me.

I for one would love to hear more and I won't think you're making it up.

We're both communist (well, I'm socialist), we hate democracy, love geeky stuff like games and manga, and share a love of literature and similar authors like Orwell. We also both like the film Clerks, so I'm going to bring lasagne to her work, and she wants to give me a new nickname. On our 2nd date I introduced her to my dad for a pub lunch, so we're moving pretty fast.

[speedlolita]

You’re communist? lol

[Sketcz]

You’re communist? lol

Surprise you? I identify as socialist. Education and healthcare should be free, corporations should have their balls taxed off and be regulated to the gills (if they're even allowed at all), and most things should be state owned and run, like utilities, transport, etc. I also don't understand how or why people are allowed to own so much property at the expense of others (UK rental prices - Christ!). Generally I feel the plebs and proles in society are too gormless to be trusted, so need the nanny state to molly coddle them as much as possible. They also cannot be trusted with something as intrinsically toxic as democracy. They need to be assigned productive roles and then kept passive with drugs and cheap entertainment, while their physical needs (food, energy, shelter, medicine) are provided by the state. Free education will allow the intellectually capable among them to float to the top, like tiny turds ready to be scooped up and moulded into whatever the state requires. Artists would be treated as national heroes. Labourers perpetually medicated through their daily free work meals and the water supply. Government would be decided by AI. The only voting would be for reality TV shows about baking and dancing. CEOs trying to avoid paying state taxes would be executed. Actually, if I were in charge, lots of people would be executed. Anyone in government who lies would be executed. Scientists who publish false data would be executed. The executions would be televised so the proles feel like the upper echelons are being kept in check.

She's a bit more hardcore than me. Not that we've discussed it all in depth. Too busy being cunning linguists (we both love lit, natch). Our orated discourse on the first date was epic. She feels Huxley is over-rated. She's also writing an novel which is so complex it reminds me of something by James Joyce. Which I told her. (However, I never told her that I absolutely loathe the writing of Joyce - it's the dark secret in our relationship.)

Wouldn’t mind a few sprigs of what you are smoking laddie...

[speedlolita]

Skimmed that and saw something about executions

Aaaahm oooooot

[charlesr]

Huxley is total turd. At least Brave New World was - being forced to read that at school put me off.

[charlesr]

In the exam I made my thoughts known in well reasoned arguments. Didn't work out to well for me.

[prinnysquad]

Heathenous cad.

[MrKirov]

So I’ve just had a 27 yr old physiotherapist around my house. We ordered some takeaway, had a beer or two, and ended up in bed. She had a strict no sex on first date policy but that was stretched a bit.

She’s pretty amazing. Loads in common, seeing her again tomorrow infact. The one from last night started texting me just as she was leaving, so she seems keen now too?

Have I just struck gold and got two potential actual longer term prospects at once?!

[vanpeebles]

What kinda takeaway?
