I dreamed about a funny social network. I don't remember whether I came up with it myself or read about it somewhere. The principle is this. A person marks whom they would like to go on a date or have sex with. If it matches for two people, the system tells them about it. The system could be expanded to cover all sorts of deviations and group sex :-)
You indicate that you like someone to hit you on the head with a carrot, while someone else indicates that they like doing the hitting. And bingo. Otherwise, no one can see your settings or the people you marked until there is a match.
There are some major problems, though:
1)How do you add people who interest you to this network? Write: join the sex network, you know why? That would defeat the whole purpose.
2)The other person might mark you as a joke, just to find out who wants them.
3)This contributes to the continuing decay of "morals and decency" in society, which, however, concerns me least of all.
Another thought occurred to me: has anyone tried to describe laws and the legal system using formal rules so that a computer could automatically check their (the laws') correctness and consistency? Or is that largely impossible/useless?
I also went into town and bought two pairs of jeans with Lycra, summer shoes, and a wallet. This is usually a pretty serious source of stress for me, so I try to get the process over with as quickly as possible, which does nothing to improve the quality of what I buy. Funnily enough, everything together cost as much as one shirt belonging to guguiens.
A person quickly gets drawn into consumer mania. But I, fortunately, bought all these new things only because the old ones were almost worn out.
The wallet is very thin, or ultraslim as we call it. I have no idea where this fashion appeared first—in computers or in wallets. Its coin pocket is cleverly designed—it is on the outside, meaning there is no need to open the wallet, and it also has an envelope-like design that keeps the coins from falling out
The wallet's only drawback is that the ID compartments use a mesh of threads instead of plastic windows, making it impossible to read the text without taking the card out. Funnily enough, the wallet costs three times as much as the old one but looks far simpler. Then again, that is often the case with good things.
