    So this afternoon I discovered part of [chat] thinks I'm a fervid, blind Israeli nationalist and now I guess I'm not discerning enough to make my racial humor obviously harmless, either. Maybe I need to alter my tone in textual conversation.

    Why?

    No one actually cares.

    I mean shit, I just curb stomped three mexicans 10 minutes ago. No one cared.

    I dunno, I don't want anyone actually thinking I'm a racist or some such. Or that I enjoy the atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank. I know it's just the internet and all but I'm uncomfortable with that perception.

    Why don't you want anyone thinking that? I mean if you are, then you are. If certain people don't like it, then they weren't meant to be your friends anyways and fuck them.

    Now if you're just mis-communicaitng, then you should be slapped for being a dummy.

    No, I'm not a racist- no, I don't enjoy the atrocities in the Territories. I don't feel like I'm doing a poor job of communicating, either; ESL or not, I think I can express my thoughts relatively well. So either some people here are very over critical and excessively analytical, or I am just awful at expressing meaning.

    I don't think you're racist, dude. I don't think anybody else does, either, and I've always interpreted your quips about Palestine as a shrug-off to any tension that might boil over from the Israel threads. You're laughing at yourself, and that's cool.

    It's just that you made a joke about a sensitive subject and it landed with a thud. It wasn't over-the-top enough for everybody to be absolutely sure you were joking, and it was kind of a tasteless thing to joke about anyway. It came off as Obs-ish.

    You're fine. Just be more careful next time.

    [setupformomjoke]My mother doesn't leave until Monday morning, and besides I'm still finishing with the move and such.

    I'm going to be holding a housewarming party at some point, to which you're invited, and at some point down the line you should just come over for [strike]sex[/strike] chess.[/setupformomjoke]

    Heh.

    I probably should do more homework anyways.

    The key to chess is to hope your opponent will pull out that pawn that protects their king from your bishop. If they don't reveal their king in the first move, start over.

    Well that's good. Thanks.

    Earlier someone pretty much called me a nationalist, though, which sort of threw me off. Probably why I'm excessively sensitive this evening.

    That was always funny. It's like the Olde Tyme Nerde version of BOOM HEADSHOT!

    Speed chess was also fun. If you take more than three seconds to complete a move, you lose. It tended to go faster and faster as your adrenaline gets up until somebody makes a completely boneheaded mistake. It also leads to lots of angry, aggressive chest thumping and might be the origin of the "rage-quit."

    I wonder if a programming class ever assigned the task of creating an unbeatable chess computer.

    The human player would always move after the computer, and if they didn't reveal their king by moving the proper pawn, the program would crash. You would never win against the computer.

    I think this is icky

    But I don't know that I think there should be a legal penalty for doing something like this. It's a victimless crime.

    It's emotionally distressing to the victim's family. They won't necessarily find out about it, but anything that is done to the body should be indicated to the family, and so this would have to be indicated as well, resulting in distress.

    I mean it basically comes down to who "owns" the body. That guy certainly doesn't. Does the morgue or some other government agency own the body now? Why not the family? They'd be the ones paying for the funeral services.

    That is pretty damn sick. I don't know what this guy is being charged with legally, but I firmly believe that respect for the dead is central to having respect for life, and that respecting cultural traditions WRT funeral services are how we cope with our own mortality, both as individuals and as a society. This just... offends me on every level.

    The man is a rapist. Throw the fucking book at him.
