2018-12-14 at 9:43 PM UTC in If someone offered you $10,000
Originally posted by Ajax I’m glad you value your life at more than $10,000. Is there a dollar amount at which point the potential benefit becomes greater than the inherent risks
Again, assuming no chemicals are lowering my inhibitions (like alcohol or benzos or anything, or maybe some stimulants), and also assuming I'm not going through opiate withdrawals (although I don't expect ever to again, since I've been off them for 4+ years now)...
There might be a point at which I would put my own life at risk for more money.
I'm not going to try to hazard a guess at any real quantitative threshold though, because it really depends on a lot of factors.
But if something about the mission seems like it could result in me having to take a life myself, then virtually no amount of money will be sufficient. -
2018-12-14 at 9:38 PM UTC in Lanny_loves = faggotsOk, our next lesson will use a conditional to test if a value is above a certain threshold...
It also incorporates a DICTIONARY that LOOKS LIKE an array/list (don't get confused by this. It's still a key/value pair, except that the keys are mostly (except for one that is commented out) numerical.
Note, however, that dictionaries in python, or merely "(JSON) objects" in JavaScript, and other forms of key/value pair data structures DO NOT PRESERVE ORDER.
This particular instance of a dictionary will be able to act kind of like it has preserved order, but that's just because of the particular key schema we're giving it...
kinsey_scale = {
0: 'Exclusively heterosexual',
1: 'Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual',
2: 'Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual',
3: 'Equally heterosexual and homosexual',
4: 'Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual',
5: 'Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual',
6: 'Exclusively homosexual',
# 'X': 'No socio-sexual contacts or reactions'
}
faggotry_status_of_nis_posters = {
"Lanny": 5,
"GGG": 4,
"scron": 2,
"gadzooks": 1
}
def is_poster_gay(poster):
if faggotry_status_of_nis_posters[poster] > 0:
print(poster + " is " + kinsey_scale[faggotry_status_of_nis_posters[poster]])
print(poster + ", therefore, is a faggot.")
else:
print(poster + ", therefore, is not a faggot.")
is_poster_gay("Lanny")
is_poster_gay("GGG")
is_poster_gay("scron")
is_poster_gay("gadzooks")
Outputs the following:Lanny is Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
Lanny, therefore, is a faggot.
GGG is Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
GGG, therefore, is a faggot.
scron is Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
scron, therefore, is a faggot.
gadzooks is Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
gadzooks, therefore, is a faggot.
Basically, everyone on NIS is a faggot of one variety or another. -

So basically it's a way to obscure the data you're presenting over the web so that no-one can reverse engineer the raw text it's constructed from?
A lot of new web frameworks do that by default.
For example, I don't think you can parse ReactJS pages so easily by just looking at the client-side source code. -

Originally posted by ohfralala Hurr hurr my brain hurts. How many was that? Can you count for me?
You got one word out of ten plus four wrong.
That is not too, too bad.
But if you do this task a lot of times, your skills reach up far and you can do it with more and more ease.
I think it is a good thing to do from time to time to train your brain.
If you want a big and hard task to try, you should see the more than one word piece per word thread. I warn you, though, that it is way more hard to do than this one is.
It can make you quite mad and feel like your brain does not work right. -

Originally posted by HTS This thread is good, but it is kind of a cinch to pull off the shtick you chose. :/
I think you should try some more in the more than one word piece per word thread. You did make one good post there so far.
That is, if you need hard things to do (no pun meant). -
2018-12-14 at 9:03 PM UTC in If someone offered you $10,000If I were particularly desperate, like going through heroin withdrawals back in the day, then probably, yeah.
When I'm thinking straight, which is, believe it or not, most of the time, then probably not.
And actually, there are two main reasons for why I would (typically) lean towards "no":
1. Ethical reasons: The first thing that popped into my head was the movie Se7en...
2. Practical reasons: This could just be a ruse all about getting me personally killed, or it could be some ultra-dangerous mission where you just straight up stand no chance of surviving and staying out of jail or any other kind of trouble that would make $10,000 not even remotely worth it. -
2018-12-14 at 8:58 PM UTC in Lanny_loves = faggotsFor the rest of NIS: Also, for the record, I did not start him on this faggotry theme. But I did encourage him to make programming more fun/humorous/entertaining to help motivate yourself to learn. It works for a lot people, especially myself.
-
2018-12-14 at 8:56 PM UTC in Lanny_loves = faggotsDon't worry if it seems a bit much, since I'm throwing new data structures at you (list/arrays, dictionaries/key-value-pairs, etc), and even made a very simple function with a condition (if X, do Y; else, do Z).
-
2018-12-14 at 8:54 PM UTC in Lanny_loves = faggotsNext up are dictionaries (again, a python-specific term for a very common, simple data structure, that consists of key-pairs). You will end up using them A LOT in the future...
faggotry_status_of_nis_posters = {
"Lanny": True,
"GGG": True, # Hey, these are booleans, so you're going to want some more precise code here, or to throw an error in your case.
"scron": True,
"gadzooks": False
}
def is_poster_gay(poster):
if faggotry_status_of_nis_posters[poster]:
print(poster + " is a faggot.")
else:
print(poster + " is not a faggot.")
is_poster_gay("GGG")
# Outputs: "GGG is a faggot."
is_poster_gay("gadzooks")
# Outputs: "gadzooks is not a faggot." -
2018-12-14 at 8:47 PM UTC in Lanny_loves = faggotsAlso, another tip, way less vital (in that it won't result in errors or anything), but there are usually stylistic conventions that are followed, such as how to name variables.
I would have probably gone with...
lanny_loves = "faggots"
print("you're all a bunch of " + lanny_loves)
#especially you scron
There's also camelCase (e.g. lannyLoves), but these stylistic concerns can become very contentious.
However, if you want to get a bit more fancy and actually incorporate scron directly into your code, consider making "lanny_loves" into a list (commonly called an array in pretty much every other language, but I mean, calling it a list makes sense - one of the many reasons I really like Python, and especially suggest if for beginners)...
# Sets some booleans (true/false binary values) for later...
lanny_loves_faggots = True
scron_is_a_faggot = True
# Creates an empty list of faggots that Lanny loves...
faggots_that_lanny_loves = []
if lanny_loves_faggots and scron_is_a_faggot:
faggots_that_lanny_loves.append("scron")
print(faggots_that_lanny_loves)
Outputs: ["scron"].
And you get a list (with only one entry, however) of the "faggots that Lanny loves."
You would access it by numerical indexing, and remember, arrays/lists start at zero.
print(faggots_that_lanny_loves[0])
Outputs: "scron". -
2018-12-14 at 8:38 PM UTC in Lanny_loves = faggotsFor the rest of NIS: I am officially mentoring GGG in Python.
But GGG, one bit of feedback here...
Since "faggots" isn't wrapped in quotation marks, it's technically not a string.
So if you haven't assigned a value earlier to the variable/objectfaggots
But other than that, keep it up. -

Sorry, Zanick, but those prices are just too unaffordable.
The black markets of piracy have spoken.

2018-12-14 at 5:01 AM UTC in If you had unlimited resources
Originally posted by Zanick I'd accept unlimited Adderall
Allow us to revisit my original wish, and to modify it ever so slightly.
Of course, an unlimited supply of drugs of all varieties is truly a wish worth wanting.
But imagine the second part of my wish...
A team of the most preeminent scholars, scientists, researchers, and other creative minds, all at my disposal (because I pay them, they're not my slaves, for the record).
Now imagine having them apply all of their intellect to developing new psychoactive compounds, the likes of which the Shulgins themselves would envy.
That's what I would go for.
I now officially amend my initial answer to the OP. -

Originally posted by Bill Krozby I would ram my cock up your asshole and then sue you for being a lousy lay
KrOz, my man, you have unlimited physical resources, and yet you would still take sex by force? And from a dude, no less (is Ajax a dude? I've just been assuming).
You're doing your own credibility a disservice with that kind of post. -
2018-12-14 at 4:55 AM UTC in If you had unlimited resources
Originally posted by Zanick Very few people have unlimited pussy at their disposal, the revelations which come with that power change a pimp forever and he has a moral obligation to preach it to the women under his command.
I don't even know if I would want/need unlimited pussy.
I'll take a variety in my pussy options, sure.
But unlimited? What man has that much thirst for the good stuff in them?
Still though, not gonna lie, it would be a pretty cool skill to have, being able to transform any woman out there into a devout follower. -
