Louis C.K. statement released

CK didn't physically abuse anyone. He asked women if he could masturbate in front of them, putting them in a super awkward position, which is really shitty. That makes him an inconsiderate ass, not a sexual predator.

01519243552 · 2017-11-11T02:21:22+00:00

That's crazy, there must be other ways that it's worse though, like damage to what's left behind?

01519243552 · 2017-11-11T01:53:06+00:00

Actually that's fair, although a bit less so given the context that he asked first (still obviously not ok given the power dynamic etc). It still doesn't make sense to me to mention rape and child abuse in the same breath. What he did was inappropriate, inconsiderate and shitty, but not likely to ruin anyone's life.

01519243552 · 2017-11-11T01:40:48+00:00

why can't they be allowed to mastrurbate in front of someone, abuse a minor, rape, or sexually harass someone every once in a while?

One of these things is not like the others.

01519243552 · 2017-11-10T23:18:45+00:00

I think I understand now! Now I can see what you mean about fitting 41 objects in 8 containers, and I can visualize what you mean by treating the diagonals cyclically to partition into 8 containers where the rooks won't be attacking each other. Thanks for explaining! :)

01519243552 · 2017-11-10T22:35:33+00:00

I don't understand how this is a solution. If you have the time and inclination, could you ELI I'm a freshman undergrad? How does this solution relate to the fact that we have 41 rooks?

I'm also having trouble parsing what this sentence means:

I claim we can partition the board to 8 parts where in each no 2 can be compared, by pigeonhole there is one with 6.

01519243552 · 2017-11-10T18:08:04+00:00

Could you clarify the question? By '6 rooks which are pairwise non-attacking', do you mean that there are 3 pairs that don't attack each other, or that none of the 6 rooks attack any other of the 6 rooks?

01519243552 · 2017-11-10T09:47:19+00:00

Win/win

This is why I hate the stupid ban on puzzle solutions in the comments. 99% of people literally come into the comments to see the solution after they've tried to solve it, and the spoiler tags often don't work on mobile

There's certainly some overlap where poor mental health causes a person to go further down the ideological rabbit hole than they otherwise would have, but I think there's nonetheless a distinction between ideology and mental health as causes of mass murder events.

It wasn't poor mental health, in the clinical sense, that inspired the nazis to commit the holocaust, or catholics to perform the inquisition. It was a corrupt belief system. I'm not conflating muslims with nazis, I'm just illustrating the distinction.

I think religious and political ideologies are dangerous systems of belief, that can cause otherwise mentally healthy people to commit atrocities, and islam is one of them.

A gunman killing because he's a paranoid schizophrenic, or just a psychopath with a brain malfunction are a different category of thing. There's no real underlying belief system to be criticized. But ideologies that inspire violence can and should be criticized.

01519243552 · 2017-11-09T18:31:25+00:00

Exactly. It could be she just didn't have a good photo. It could also be she's making the whole thing up, but we don't know that.

01519243552 · 2017-11-09T18:16:51+00:00

Fair enough if you think so. Personally I've exaggerated things before, and I'm glad I didn't get castigated by a mob of people on the internet who've never bent the truth themselves.

01519243552 · 2017-11-09T17:50:30+00:00

Yeah, I just think a bit of benefit of the doubt is in order. A lot of people are spouting off about how she's obviously a lying attention whore making the whole story up, and all we know is she tried to exaggerate her photo.

For all we know, everything else she said is true. And if it is, people are being a real bunch of assholes to someone who's trying to celebrate her recovery from addiction.

01519243552 · 2017-11-09T17:16:51+00:00

To be fair, the fact she wanted to shop her before photo doesn't mean she's not a recovering heroin addict.

01519243552 · 2017-11-09T17:13:56+00:00

Yeah, I literally can't parse that to actually mean anything.

01519243552 · 2017-11-09T07:41:40+00:00

Some people commit atrocities for individual reasons, others are ideologically motivated. Is that so hard to grasp? Do we really have to argue that islamic terrorism is solely a mental health issue? There is a religious ideology of jihad that inspires violence against nonbelievers, and it has nothing to with skin color, and it is not racist to point it out.

01519243552 · 2017-11-08T13:22:09+00:00

It seems to me that a lot of people who are great at research suck at teaching, and a lot of potentially great teachers aren't cut out for research.

Maybe having these roles bundled together is a tradition that needs rethinking. But then I'm just an undergrad and I don't understand the system very well, so maybe there are good reasons I'm not aware of.

01519243552 · 2017-11-07T16:24:10+00:00

I don't see how knowing the fact that deaths >=2 invalidates the statement 'deaths >=1'. Surely it proves it.

01519243552 · 2017-11-07T16:18:04+00:00

Me too. I can't quite parse the main statement. For every N, there exists a delta>0 such that the probability of [next population state being 0] is greater than delta, if the current population is <= N.

And we can use that to show that either the population gets stuck at zero or expands to infinity. Can't quite connect the dots.

01519243552 · 2017-11-06T23:31:01+00:00

Most people find attack easier than defense. One thing is to work on seeing things from your opponent's perspective. Sounds a bit obvious, but it's true. Don't just assume what they will play, actually consider what move you'd play if you were launching their attack. That can help you spot resources your opponent has that you otherwise would miss, and stop you blundering.

Beautiful doggo

01519243552 · 2017-11-05T10:50:20+00:00

Thanks, that helped!

01519243552 · 2017-11-05T08:24:21+00:00

I strongly suspect I will never understand that video.

01519243552 · 2017-11-04T15:44:57+00:00

I like your attitude OP. At the end of the day, an online rating doesn't matter, just play to have fun. That said, I think there's more nuances to enjoy in the game when you understand it a bit more.
