Is Lori being a dick?

[Elok]

Or they're just plain irritating. The friend I broke off contact with would do things like ask for math help (he was studying for the GREs) and then argue with me about math. "What's 5 * (2 + x)?" "10 + 2x" "Why?" "Because of the distributive property." "I disagree with the distributive property!" "Ummm... no, you're an English major, you're not allowed to disagree with the distributive property." "I can and I will!" "Welp, have a nice life."

He had a point. It really ought to be 10 + 5x. And now I can collect my math nazi merit badge!

EDIT: Come to think of it, it's not that hard to demonstrate the distributive property.

5 (2 + 3) = 25
5 (2) + 5 (3) = 25
10 + 15 = 25
25 = 25

Repeat as necessary with any damn number you please for x.

She seems to cause you a lot of anguiish, so...

Certainly. She also used to cause me a lot of joy.

[OzzyKP]

Well that was before she turned evil. Unless you think she's gonna hurl the emperor off a balcony for you, I think you should stop looking for good in her and move on.

I told him to plug in numbers for X to prove that the equation was true. He said that 5 * (2 + x) = 10 + 5x was not the same thing as, e.g., 5 * (2 + 10) = 10 + 50. Why? I'm sure he could have quoted some obscure English poet to prove his point if I had let him.

Hate people like what?

Smarmy idiots with invasive questions of FEEEEELINGs.

[-Jrabbit]

If I answer honestly, what should my answer be?

Um, if you're being honest, you shouldn't have to have Polytubbies answer this question. She obviously has a need to show she can still pull your strings. If you give her that ability, there will be consequences.

If you are in a current relationship, tell her to leave you the hell alone.
If you want to deal with her crap again in exchange for some awesome sex, well, you know what to do.

[Evil + Ruined My Life] >> [Best Friend]

My advice: tell her to stay the hell away.

I think Lori established in the previous thread that the chance of a hookup is zero, and that she isn't even all that physically attractive anymore. Lori, it sounds like you already know the answer to this question, you just don't like it. The obvious conclusion is that you should stay away from this person. Any other decision seems to me like some sort of denial.

[Supr49er]

Absolutely do not reply.

You should have told him to plug in 0.99... as x.

[Lorizael]

I'm not sure how I feel about my thread turning into a math discussion.

[MikeH]

Proud?

I recently had a text message exchange with the Evil Best Friend Who Ruined My Life. It went like this:

EBFWRML: Lorizael, are you okay?

Lorizael: I'm just as okay as I always am. Why do you ask?

EBFWRML: Not sure, really. Was just thinking about you. I have so much to share with you. We should spend some time together soon. Yes?

Lorizael: If you'd like.

EBFWRML: Obvs I do since I asked :P. Does that mean you don`t have strong feelings one way or the other?

That was two days ago. I haven't replied yet. Should I? Should I tell her to **** off? Should I answer her question honestly? If I answer honestly, what should my answer be?

I think lori stopped thinking with his dick...

[Lorizael]

I think you're mistaking my indecisiveness and being busy at the time the last text message was received for not thinking with my dick.

[dannubis]

Impossible !!!
