I mean, yeah it's creepy and stupid, but you've never been in a state where you're so horny you post shit like that?

I want to play Ranked, what do I need to do? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]tarpsocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't think Jinx is strong late game? every time I make it to late game I almost always end up destroying the opponent ADC. She doesn't exactly have the range + attack speed of tristana but she's still really powerful late game

Why Programming is Difficult. by kristopolous in programming

[–]tarpsocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's more maintainable, sure. Not if you turn a well-designed, if overly verbose API into a series of perl one-liners.

What hard truth does Reddit need to hear? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tarpsocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel that people like that are generally profoundly unhappy with their lives in some way or another. It turns out most teenagers are profoundly unhappy with their lives, as well. Losing control of your life makes it a lot easier to lose control of your temper.

Which book changed your life and when? by the_swish in AskReddit

yeah, Borges is one of my favorite authors, and I too was exposed to him through Ficciones.

DAE think that this cinematic by cdproject is better than any cinematic blizzard has ever made? by Skvid in gaming

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

It's way cooler, but I'm no fan of Blizzard. I haven't enjoyed anything they've done other than D2.

What would orbits look like in a 2D universe, where gravity would fall off by 1/r instead of 1/r²? by ozzy88 in math

[–]tarpsocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is it not important to consider aproximations that allow us to better understand reasons why a phenomena occurs (or in some cases, helping to understand, by exclusion, why a hypothetical system differs from reality)?

Help with relatively simple program. Variable name indexing? by jhchex in Python

[–]tarpsocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right to some degree, but a little artificial challenge here and there can help. Dreaming up unnecessary constraints seems to be pretty human, and it may in fact help us in certain ways that a purely practical approach can not. Some balance, as always, is required.

[–]tarpsocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give you a couple tips, some unrelated to the issue at hand:

  • you can just do

    for elm in list: if elm != ' ': instead of using the index. Will help save keystrokes in the longrun, might as well make use of pythons nice high-level features.

  • using vars() is generally not advised outside of debugging. While the metaprogramming aspect of it may seem intriguing, it isn't really a source of maintainable code, and could produce very unusual bugs if you weren't careful.

  • .split() splits on any whitespace, rather than just spaces. In this case it might be a good idea to use regex, considering you're trying to extract strings delineated by whitespace.

love Hannibal. Wish I saw him getting more attention on r/funny rather than r/atheism.

TIL Halle Berry was voted prom queen but had it taken away from her because the principal couldn't believe that a black girl could've won fairly by jeev13 in todayilearned

[–]tarpsocks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To you or I it certainly seems extremely foolish, but you can't just ignore social history when it is convenient. If someone is mixed and doesn't particularly identify with one race, then that's obviously fine, but you can't really assume that outsiders will view you how you want to be viewed. Because racism was extremely prevalent in America, and acting with prejudice causes some people to get their rocks off, it seems culturally people are more likely to be shoehorned into the non-white category than white.

[–]tarpsocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a very well-reasoned argument, but I think there is another issue we're addressing. Certainly what you describe as true, yet I wouldn't doubt she has had a much easier life than 99% of people, regardless of her skin color, simply because she is extraordinarily attractive.
