OK... doesn't answer the question, but fine.

It does answer the question. You asked how unique one is, and gave yourself as an example that with the 4 criteria you cited, you are 1 in approx. 2400. Add a fifth criteria, and you become more unique.

Yeah I don't understand those threads... Odd.

Exactly. If we were to use this one criteria, you and I are NOT unique. But, if we add say country of origin as a second criteria, we ARE unique from one another. What I am getting at is that you are as unique to the comparison group as the criteria used for that comparison. I have no degree in statistics, so maybe I am not using the correct terminology but does this not seem to hold water? Cheers.

Very true, you explained what the question was....?

That's true you are.

uh...

"what statistics do you fall into" (or something like that)...

so those are my stats...

you ask a GENERAL question, and expect specific answers...

Yep, only based on the fact I gave my answer as an example :)

That's true you are.

Jeez, everyone is ripping into you, admin warnings abound, some are even getting banned so I thought I would play nice and did by giving you my answer. You are not interested in anything other than what you wanted to hear when you thought up the thread starter in the first place.

For fucks sake, do you not understand that by changing the criteria or adding another layer, ultimately everyone will end up as a unique individual?

And you think I am merely explaining the questions back to you? The fuck man, WTF?

My bad ultimately, I have been here long enough to know your ATOT OP. I even said cheers in the interest of trying to return some civility to this thread!!! I would ask what I have to do to get on your "ignore list", but you only get more interested in those on your "ignore list" for some reason. :twisted:

so we are supposed to use ONLY sexual preference, sex and mental disabilities???


haven't you learned yet?

every neckbeard thread is his way of trying to see who he can "flirt" with... who is bisexual? who is open to his advances.

everyone he has on his fake ignore list... is straight
everyone he's friendly with... he thinks he can flirt with.

this is his M.O.

Statistically, every person on the world has about 1 testicle. So I have twice as many testicles as average.

I'm just curious about what unique demographics you fit into that is all. Calm down.

Interesting... What makes you assert that?

I would think I'm pretty unique in a bad way. I have yet to meet anyone with the same set of genetically caused diseases as me. I also tend to go extremely against the grain of popular opinions and thought.

I'm simliar, (as you may have read from the OP, I can't remember what I wrote) what "genetically caused diseases" do you have (if you are happy to answer)

No you are not, cut the BS. You asked how statistically unique one is, not what unique demographics I might fit in. Do you want to hear how much fucking pain I am in on a daily basis to make you feel better? If you could quantify human pain, I guarantee I am in more "8-10 pain scale man hours" in one day than probably 99.9%. But I am not interested in using this as a fucking prop for attention, yet you dragged a tiny yet very brief glimpse out. Congrats, is this what you want to hear? Or that according to the Mayo clinic and every doc out there, the disease (which is just one pain generator) doesn't even have the grace to be terminal at some point?

Think about it.... Approximately half the population has zero (0) testicles, and the other half has two (2). Ergo the average is about one (1). Pretty funny actually, reminds me of that saying that you can prove anything with statistics.

No thanks. Throughout my life, instead of treating me like a regular person or showing some sympathy, people tend to hate and even go out of their way to hate on anyone with really rotten luck. I guess it reminds them how trivial some of their 'luxury' problems are in the grand scheme of things. :\

Well that sucks sir, but fair enough :) Hope it's not too serious.

Yea, I know what you mean, see my post I edited above to add some more info if you want. Ever get sick and tired of being asked "how are you doing?" or "have you tried this?" from people who just want to feel better themselves?

But such is life, I like to think that no matter how bad the pain is, it could always be worse. Best to just man up as it is IMO.

Huh, the bipolar diagnosis is pretty rare for a male, women's menstrual cycle sort of predisposes them to the illness, males not so much.

What kind of meds do you take neckbeard?

One of the lectures I attended was pretty cool, the doc said the problem with treating bipolar patients is that when they don't take their meds they get "high" and that compliance is a huge issue when treating someone with a bipolar disorder.

Yup that's definitely the case, right now I've got a prescription for Depakote (Valporate) and Quetiapine, but I'm not taking them, too many side effects, I'm waiting for my next Psychiatrist appointment to change to different medication.

You are right about it being rare in men apparently 1/5 of bipolar people are male...

I'm male, hetero, no mental problems

My take on the thread:
neckbeard creates lots of threads with various topics. There is ONE common denominator though: whichever the topic is, he exploits it to expose the fact he's bisexual.
What is the motive behind that?
You're not interested in how unique I am based on mental illnesses, sexuality and sex.
