Plenty of Sea in the Fish

So, I got to contemplating a bit.

Seduction capital - how desirable you are to other people. I'm not sure how men and women found partners in the Dark Ages, but we can assume that for the average shit-covered peasant it meant drawing on a pretty shallow pool consisting of persons of opposite gender in the immediate geographical area. Perhaps

I think you're probably right that widening the pool has probably done more harm than good. Thinking that you can always 'do better' has created even more discontent. Comparing yourself to the girl you went to school with now they've had events line up in a way that were fortunate can only lead to misery.
What's the solution? Social alienation? Marrying the secretary from work? Why not? Many a happy union has come from this.

Wanking. The solution is always wanking.

I found this post's emphasis on different types of capital counter-revolutionary. Please correct it in the glorious socialist future, Comrade.

I have developed an alternative to capitalism based around granting each individual what they require and asking only of them what they can give. I call it "Socialism". I think it might do quite well.

I have befriended many people at metal gigs but generally I want them to massively go away after about twenty minutes.

I only care about how many erections a person causes me to have. This is the only value others offer.

[bridge_troll]

This is a good system, but deserves to be expanded in scope. What is the exchange rate between erections and sandwiches? If I gave you two erections in a week but made you four sandwiches, would that be better than just giving you six erections?

[kingtycoon]

See, you're making the dangerous assumption that I might not be aroused by sandwiches.

I would happily fuck a beetroot and apple loaf, though ciabatta might present difficulties. Its certainly a subject worth exploring, though a lifetime ban from Subway would likely follow.

Having a distinguishable personality helps.

[bridge_troll]

No-one these days has a personality. They just have cobbled-together opinions about the popular television program 'Benefit Street', mixed up with a hatred of paedos and some stuff about a sporting team which they have chosen to closely identify with for reasons mostly arbitrary.

That's not a personality, that's a fleshdroid in need of a good defragging.

You left in an unnecessary "de-" prefix.
