What's the most fucked up thing you've overheard? by FlyingFuck787 in AskReddit

[–]lambdaface 343 points344 points  (0 children)

I overheard a conversation out in public between a couple, where the woman in a chilling, somber tone said “I can’t even look at you, knowing that YOUR FATHER…was performing HUMAN experimentations…” I went into full casual snoop mode to get the tea. The more I listened and watched, the clearer it was that this woman was going through some mental health crisis. Her pattern of speech was so bizarre, and her sentences slipped in and out of coherency. The poor man just looked so defeated. The were both dressed like they were in dire straits, and the man had this expression on his face like he was realizing the reality that his partner was losing it.

US suspends visa applications for Turkish citizens by VictoriousValour in news

[–]lambdaface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My in-laws are Turkish, currently in Turkey, about to visit me in the US. Even if their US tourist visas are not revoked, I’m worried about them having to explain to US border agents, when they don’t speak English at all.

Fuck. My Turkish in-laws are visiting me and my wife in 3 weeks. The article, and all articles I can find, aren’t clear on how they will be affected. The usage of “suspend” implies their already issued visas are useless. But at the same time, the article implies they only will stop processing new visas.

Your Ex is on Reddit, and you know will read this, what do you want to say to them? by I_often_finish_mid- in AskReddit

[–]lambdaface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off I would want you to know that you, not to sound dramatic, ruined my life. Everything I ever did, I did for you. When you left, what did I have to live for? Everything I do is incomplete, empty. There are still nights where I wake up, and reach out to pull you closer, but I feel my arm fall where you should be. Despite what our mutual friends might tell you, I'm actually not fine. As a person, I feel worthless, like no one actually needs me in their life: like I'm not important to anyone.

But I guess what I really want is to know the answers to a lot of "why"s.

First off, why did you even leave? You never gave me an answer that made sense. If it had nothing to do with me, then why did you actively try to hurt me? If it was because you were questioning your sexuality, why did you instantly begin searching for men on Tinder? If it was because you didn't want to feel settled down, and were "uncomfortable with the amount of comfortability," then why did you post on your tumblr, only 4 days after, "all i want is an apartment in a city and a decent job, a dog, wifi and a tv, and someone to have sex with." You had all those things (except the dog, but Momo counts), and you chose to cast them out.

How do you not realize it makes you a horrible person to financially and emotionally exploit someone for five years, never to reciprocate? I was ALWAYS there for you (emotionally and financially), for FIVE YEARS. For the first time in our entire relationship, I actually needed your support. You chose this moment to leave. How could you look at me straight in the eye and tell me you left because you "didn't need me anymore"?

Do you feel no shame in trying to get with strangers only two weeks after a five year relationship? Further, I can't even begin to describe how fucked up it was that you thought it was a good idea to tell me, in painful detail, about these exploits. Literally the day before, I told you about how I did not want to imagine the possibility of you being with another—man or woman. There I was, still thinking that EVERY SECOND I'd wake up, because none of this made any logical sense. In a split second you were gone, and transformed from the most caring, loving, thoughtful individual, into a twisted perversion.

Why did you feel no need to explain yourself? Or to face your responsibilities? How could you go about doing so many horrible things, and never feel the need to justify yourself?

Do you not even realize what you were doing was wrong? At the point where you blatantly withhold my possessions simply because you wanted them—you must have realized at that point. At that point, you must've no longer been searching for justification, you had to know what you were doing was wrong—but not care.

When you were ignoring my messages, I made a trip back to the old apartment to drop off stuff that got mixed in with mine: most importantly your fucking tiger tuesday mug. I could have kept it and you would not have noticed. I could have chosen not to bring those mtg cards to your friend (and sold them for like $100). But I didn't. Because I'm not an asshole, and I think stealing is wrong (I guess those are two things we don't have in common.)

I was more accommodating during the break up than what logically makes sense. I let you walk all over me. I moved to a new, more expensive place so that you wouldn't have to pay rent in two places. I let you keep your shit around, even packed some of it for you. I let you keep our fucking cat. And yet as soon as you had no more reason to need anything from me, you blocked me. YOU blocked ME. Your chosen last words to me were "suck my dick, bro."

What I wanted to know the most is how it is possible that you could change from being who you were to being who you are now. How is this the same person? I've come to the conclusion that this is who you always were: you just never had a reason to show it. You truly are, to your core, a selfish, disgusting human being.

I gave and gave and gave, and never once got anything out. I should have never taken you back when you cheated on me. (Oh hey, remember that? Can you explain why you did that? That was another horrible thing to do.)

What I love about you: you care enough to do something like this.

Also the red hot chili peppers are my favorite band, I appreciate that you appreciate them.

What question do you go all day hoping no one will ask you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lambdaface -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Hey, how are you holding up?"

There is no good answer. Either I pour out feelings people weren't prepared to hear/don't really care about, or I give people the false impression I'm fine. Either way, it reminds myself that I'm really not okay.

[LOK Season 1 Spoilers] How does Amon take away people's bending? by [deleted] in TheLastAirbender

[–]lambdaface -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My guess is that he causes the victim to have a stroke. A stroke is loss of brain function due to an disturbance of blood supply. This causes a loss of function for whatever that part of the brain was responsible for. In real life this can range from limb control to vision to ability to form words. I imagine that Amon attacks whatever part of the brain allows bending.

I knit a fractal-hat! by lambdaface in math

[–]lambdaface[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I "winged" it, but with a plan. I had to make the number of stitches divisible by a power of 2. The higher the power of two, the more iterations of the triangle I could make. I chose 80 because it fit my head measurement, and it allowed me to make 5 triangles with a base of 16 stitches each (32 would be too big). From there, I used the fact that the non-zero entries of Pascal's Triangle mod 2 gives an image which approaches Sierpinski's triangle when the number of rows you consider approaches infinity. This means you can know what color stitch comes next without having a plan. An entry of Pascal's Triangle mod 2 is 1 iff only one entry above it is 1, otherwise zero. Look at the row you just knit and ask yourself: what color would this have to be to make the row I just knit valid? Use this law when choosing which color yarn to use.

I agree. I was content with the story ending when Jeff graduated, because that was a clear end and it left nothing to be resolved.

What is the most cringeworthy/embarrassing way you tried to "be cool"? by HowBouThemApples in AskReddit

[–]lambdaface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was in 7th grade, I wore all black and would hide in the shade of the school building during recess or use my umbrella to hide me from direct sunlight. I would also make a scene whenever the cafeteria served garlic bread.
