But, funnily enough, some might actually pay $100,000 for the opportunity.

Originally posted by WellHung I think hes already stuck in one.
Yeah I get into these temporary mini ruts.
Sadly, I think it's typically not sheer willpower that pulls me out of them, but simply running out of booze and money.
All I know is that I do have things in life - passions, hobbies, ambitions, goals, etc - that are intrinsically valuable enough to me to keep me from winding up a full blown street corner whino.
So it's just a matter of time before I go back to real life and responsibilities and all that.
For now, though, I'm just going with the flow.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Tesla Coil he butt raped him from what I read.
and I was thinking of what they call "Massage fuck" where the guy has the woman lay on her stomach like she's getting massage and he lays on top of her and penetrates either her anus or vagina. It's called "Ass Smashing" it's like doggie style but she's not on all 4s she's laying down
so if he's forcing himself on Rapp's he probably pushed him down on a bed and used his body weight to hold him down = ass smash"
All that being said, I have to admit, I remain a Kevin Spacey fan.
You can separate the sin from the sinner.
One of my favorite movies ever is American Beauty... And The Usual Suspects? (Come on... Its Keyser Sose).

Might as well correct the retraction as well...
"Do not tell him."
Or even better...
"Refrain from informing others."

2019-05-26 at 4:35 PM UTC in My Word Cloud Process - ITT We All Laugh, Learn, and See Gradual Iterative UpdatesMonths ago, I got super into doing all kinds of data analysis on NiS thread/post content for practice/self-education, as well as for sheer lulz.
https://niggasin.space/thread/31288
https://niggasin.space/thread/31496
One of those areas attracted heightened interest, especially by a couple of homies in particular, mmQ and Grimace.
(By the way, Grimace, I realize for you the priority is the Totse dump, and, I am working on that as well, but parsing HTML tables is brutal, and, for ethical reasons, I don't want to simply throw hundreds of threads back onto the Internet directly like WaybackMachine does, so I'm pretty much stuck parsing the files, and Totse had two different HTML formats... Zoklet has only the one. I'm working on it all in tangent, I promise).
Now, back to word clouds...
The first one I did was for NiS's top candidate for most controversial figure. My motivation to choose him at the time was not out of some form of admiration of any kind, but, rather, because I figured his word cloud would likely be interesting and/or entertaining.
Btw, for anyone who does not know exactly what a word cloud is, it takes a large portion of text and statistically determines the N most frequently occurring words within it, and then results in a pretty and colorful image showing all the top words, but with the size of the word correlating with the frequency of that particular word.
For example, see the original infinityshock word cloud:
But now, a bit more about the process...
First off, you might be thinking... Won't words like "the", "a", "to", and so on, always be the top used words?
Yes, they are the most frequently used words of course, but any kind of linguistic analysis of a large corpus (body) of text, involves a few steps to clean the data up a bit. Those super common words mentioned above are referred to as stop words. There are a few ways to remove them programmatically - I believe I used a publicly available list online to filter the large body of text for the above word cloud, but many NLP (Natural Language Processing) libraries, such as NLTK for Python (the one I typically use), have built in libraries that you just choose and declare when you're preparing the data.
There are MANY other ways in which textual data can be prepared for analysis, but, for a word cloud, which is actually an incredibly simple analysis compared to other NLP use cases, it's literally just about counting how often words occur. Nothing all that fancy, really.
But, cleaning and preparing the data is always an important step.
Case in point:
That's a word cloud generated (just now) from the exact same text data, but before doing any fancy pre-processing or filtering (other than stop words).
Notice how "Bill" and "Krosby" are among his 20 most frequently used words? I think that, when I made the original, I simply manually added those two words to the stop word list because they came up so much (kind of a quick and dirty brute force method).
(Apparently infinityshock references, or quotes, kr0z, with some regularity).
OH, and that reminds me...
Quotes...
One reflection I had about my original word cloud (much later on) was that I did not filter out quotes... So, it is technically including words the target poster didn't actually use themselves. This skews the data.
Right now, as we speak, I am running a python script on the data I have already archived to parse out quotes. I will elaborate on my specific method of doing so in a subsequent post in this thread. -

2019-05-25 at 1:51 AM UTC in "oh sorry about that"
Originally posted by Nil he was literally defending his castle tho, it's not like he went and shot random people for kicks. These 2 brought this upon themselves.
was he supposed to call out? what if they were armed in turn?
Even if it were legally acceptable, I'd still have a problem with it.
Any time a person uses excessive force in the name of "self-defense", I take serious issue.
When I get a chance to, I will listen to the audio. Maybe there's something I'm missing from the brief description on that Wikipedia page.
But, it just seems like he would have had more reasonable options.
There's pragmatic self-defense, and then there's emotional murder.
The dude was pissed off about all the recent break-ins (and TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLY SO), but that does not justify murder. He didn't shoot them each once in the leg or chest and then went and called 911. He shot them MULTIPLE times each, and then went and shot them in the head to make sure that they were DEAD.
Incapacitating and killing are two VERY different things.
I'm not necessarily agreeing with the severity of the sentence he got. But he definitely did not do what was most ethical/moral for the situation.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2019-05-25 at 1:24 AM UTC in "oh sorry about that"The reason why I immediately start favoring the victims in this particular case is that he was not "standing his ground" / "defending his castle" or whatever.
He straight up murdered those intruders.
He shot them multiple times, and even in the head at the end, and KILLED them.
If you're camping out and expecting intruders, you can EASILY incapacitate them without killing them.
Straight up murder, IMO.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2019-05-24 at 10:32 PM UTC in I just fucking saved all my neighbors livesWhile most people are prone to a fear response in the presence of snakes, others tend to be drawn to them.
One particular species of snake can even invoke feelings of sexual arousal: The majestic trouser snake.
It enjoys slithering into compact cavernous environments.
Its venom is non-toxic.
It truly is a magnificent creature. -

2019-05-24 at 3:53 PM UTC in I have a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana -Champaign...Do you really?
I majored in psychology too.
Was on the grad school track (working in a research lab, near perfect GPA, doing an honours thesis, etc)...
But then heroin addiction set in and I had to bail on just about everything.
I still graduated in time, and with only a minor drop in my GPA at the end, but was not at all ready for grad school.
When I got clean, I went a whole other direction and started teaching myself programming.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
