I just saw an episode of the big bang theory and Sheldon Cooper made a friendship algorithm, thought it was funny and wanted to post it.

They also have a shirt of it, I love it. Big Bang Theory is the best.

The thing that took me a long time to wrap my mind around, with friendship, it's not an algorithm, it's heuristics!

Sheldon is freaking awesome. Here's the chart I made explaining his expanded version of rock-paper-scissors:

Yes, friendship is heuristics. I do find those charts pretty damned funny. Wonder who came up with those...

I love that chart and Sheldon.

Do you think all the Big Bang theory guys have aspie-traits? Now that I have been studying about it I see how Raj has (evolving) selective mutism and Wolowitz is overcompensates for his lack of skills to appropriately approach a female.

What do you think?

Sheldon acts like me circa 8 years old.

I think Sheldon is an exaggerated aspie, the others are just nerds.

True.

Even the other nerds hate Sheldon, the way the regular nerds hate me (albeit less than when i was younger) too.

Sheldon thinks he always has to be the head honcho.

He's not open to being a member of a team and building a team.
