you have two choices:

99% chance of dying
1% chance of winning $5

picking the second choice is illogical regardless of the outcome (unless you turn it into some stupid hypothetical situation)
Haha what the fuck?

You can choose to have 99% chance of dying, or a 1% chance of winning $5.... And you think choosing the second is illogical? You fail @ math.


I've chosen to do this graphically cos I know you're gonna come back with a stupid answer



Sorry I know this is the girl problem thread, but I can't stand it when people are that bad at basic maths
not a math error, its a typo (or an inability to express my thoughts in words )

99% chance of winning $5 and dying
1% chance of winning $5 and living

nice tree diagram though!

listen, you have a 1% chance of winning $5.  however, the risk of attempting to win $5 is 99% chance of death.

there are three outcomes:

you live
you live and win $5
you die (you still win $5, but it doesn't really matter because you're dead)

obviously, you won't take the risk because the chance of winning $5 is not worth the risk of dying

Your analogy really sucks and really has nothing to do with the issue discussed previously.

You're saying because I don't suffer the negative side effects my choice is still a poor one? I fail to see how the logic in that.
yes it does.

he said that if you make the decision to go for the $5 and actually manage to live, that it was the correct choice.  i said that making the choice of going for $5 is stupid and illogical regardless of outcomes

my analogy doesn't fail at all

You're comparing long-distance relationship to 99% certainty of death.

no.  it obviously depends for everyone.  i'm sure that for some people, getting that $5 in my analogy is worth it

i was just trying to make a point that his statement was illogical

So I was ranting on Twitter about this bitch that called me an asshole when I almost turned in front of her into my driveway and then this girl who I've been suspecting might like me was saying stuff hyping it up saying I was a a straight thug and stuff.  And then I made a joke to her and then said I think I'm good now and then she replies: "lol aite yung. Call me if you need to vent sum more.lolll"

Does that pretty much mean just call her anyway?
