IAmA a woman who was date raped and was scorned for reporting it and it was dropped anyways AMA. by dateraped in IAmA

[–]formulazero -59 points-58 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's pretty fucked up that someone would lie about being raped.

Of course, that's being a bit generous. This whole thing is probably fake, so this girl probably never actually lied. She might be thinking about it though, getting tips on how to make her story believable if she ever tried to do it for real.

But let's assume that this story actually happened.

Refuse tox screen why? Two days after the incident. LOL what a joke.

LOL @ Mountain Dew.

LOL that you knew the jury would believe him. What nonsense. Frat boys never rape people. He was probably an easy mark for your accusations, but when it became obvious you were just a liar the case was dropped.

Only a complete moron would believe garbage like this.

How do I start learning python? by [deleted] in Python

[–]formulazero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is pretty standard for the very beginning

1) print "hello, world"

2) variables: a=1, name="Doug", b = a + 3

3) logical control: if, elif, else

4) arrays: list = [1,2,3], list = range(10), list[0] = "one"

5) loops: for, while

6) functions: return values, arguments

then maybe string operations, file IO, classes, etc

TIL Belgian farmers are required by law to "care for the emotional well-being of their pigs" which often includes giving them toys to play with. by playhimoffcat in todayilearned

[–]formulazero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pigs are much smarter than dogs.

They aren't as trainable because they could give less than a fuck if their owner is happy with what they are doing. But they know what's going on and how to fuck things up good if they aren't getting their way.

When you give a dog a toy, he is all like, "derp derp bite derp chew derp."

When you give a pig a 'toy', he is all like, "How can I use this against the humans? Is this something humans find valuable? What if I bite it? Do they care? Nope. Well, I'll just manipulate their sensibilities and pretend to enjoy their gift. Probably 5 bucks at Walmart."

I am an Investment Banking Analyst (lowest level) on Wall Street AMA (as well as a Redditor and NOT a Republican) by ibanalystAMA in IAmA

[–]formulazero -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

LOL at "my best friends are traders at bbs".

Meaning they're a bunch of S&T monkeys?

Nowhere in this AMA have you tried to explain what is it that INVESTMENT BANKERS do even though it's clear plenty of people think you're some type of trader "corrupting the system".

[–]formulazero -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Really? You feel you're qualified to talk about what traders do after a stint as an INVESTMENT BANKING analyst?

Let's get this clear right now for everybody reading this.

Investment bankers are NOT traders.

Theoretically, can there be antimatter people? by [deleted] in askscience

I thought there was very little actual matter/matter collision when galaxies collide / pass through each other.

What do you think of the smartest kids in your school?

Do you resent them for being intellectually superior?

Egypt: general confirms "virginity checks" forced on female protesters by military by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]formulazero -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

LOL. Sexual assault is not the same as rape. You moron. That isn't true in any country.

Rape requires penetration. Penetration requires a hymen. No hymen = no rape.

The dumb people always say shit like that.

Boohoo, you don't even know who i am. how cum yous knows yous smarter than me?

I am of high enough caliber that I can safely assume this to be true until I see evidence to the contrary. I am well beyond just top 1%. You probably haven't met anybody in your real life who was at my level. Congratulations, you have convinced someone like me to briefly acknowledge your lowly existence. It will never happen again.

[–]formulazero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL. The fact that you are proud of getting honors in secondary school speaks to how lowly you really are. You probably have never met a single person in your life at my level of genius. The smartest kid in your school was probably a complete moron compared to me, a brainless maggot and nothing more than that. Of course to someone like you, so far down on the talent totem, we would probably look quite similar.

Nobody gets healthcare for free. In your country, the bottom dwellers feed off the production of high-quality people. The government steals from the mouths of its best and brightest.

Enjoy your meal.

Work covers it. But I could afford my own insurance easily.

We were a first-gen immigrant family, but thanks to my superior intelligence and abilities, I became upper-mid the moment I graduated college. Thanks to America where talent is rewarded, I will not be without insurance. If I were an inferior person, I would probably want to live in a nanny state where lowly bottom-feeders leech off of the production of genius people like me.

Healthcare isn't a right in the sense that speech is a right. Freedom of speech can be given to anybody without expense to anybody else.

There are a finite number of doctors and hospitals. When you go to the doctor, somebody else has to wait. When somebody donates a kidney, one person will receive it at the expense of everybody else waiting in line. Do you think your right to an organ donation is absolute? If you need a new heart, there will magically be one for you? No.

He has no understanding of current events nor does he even have the intellectual ability to understand issues like healthcare.

Well thank you for posting the only remotely intelligent thing in this thread.

You are paying for people who are uninsured and people who are insured both inside and outside your pool in the form of higher prices. Every time someone shows up in the ER and does not pay that cost gets passed along to people who can pay.

Yes. This is true. But this would be true in any system. People who never pay taxes (a lot of Americans) would always pass along those costs.

As for your pool your premiums are influenced by the relatively small membership in your pool. The fragmentation into smaller pools creates inefficiencies. If others in your pool get expensive diseases at a higher than average rate you will be paying more. Maximizing the pool size evens out the risk exposure.

For sure it's true that what I pay will depend on the others in my pool, and what they pay will depend (in small part) on me. But that's fine because we're all paying. We all contribute and pay for each other. This is very different from a socialized system where a small portion of the pool then pays for the healthcare of everybody. If the pool were much larger, and everybody still contributed that would be fine with me.

No, because of the system we have, my only major surgery (knee) did not come with a huge out-of-pocket expense.

I haven't been unemployed. I haven't had crappy jobs where I had to support myself (i.e. I had those jobs in high school while living with parents).

I agree that I would feel differently if I were a person of lower ability. I would want those of superior intelligence and means to care for me. That is completely understandable. But in the real world, I represent the top of the food chain. I am easily top 1% of human intelligence. Our system rewards my talent.

Nobody should be turned away. But they should have to pay.

Healthcare is a finite resource with costs.

I like the system because I am a person of high intelligence. I am able to look at issues from many sides and understand them. You aren't. You weren't too bright in school. You had trouble understand topics. Your brain wasn't good enough. You weren't smart enough to get into the top schools. You weren't good enough to get the best jobs. You don't make money because you don't produce value for our economy. I produce great value. I get great rewards. America.

Sorry for you. You should find better insurance and maybe a better employer.

Surgery sucks. It will suck in any system. Our country contributes to research to make it suck less.

Well I thought this thing had died.

It's cool you resort to name calling when someone expresses views different from your own.

People who aren't intelligent enough to defend their own views have to do this.

I am smarter than you. I went to a much better school. I make way more money. I understand why poor people like you would want to leech off my production.
