Really. If we haven't passed the tipping point yet, we're there now. (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-talk-zunedec05,0,2185981.story)

I thought he was hip?
-
*sigh*
If I wasn't depressed before, now...
Fuck the world. With a pitchfork. In the face.
-
Yay! We've wanted attention on here for so long, now we have it!
...only it's the FBI...
-
I didn't say I was going to. I also want to swim naked in a pool filled with pudding, that doesn't mean I'm going to go do it.
-
Now I know what you get you for Christmas.
-
Que, edit your first post man. Seriously. No fucking around. The man's the president elect. What phrases do you think you would search for if you were part of his security team? I know you weren't serious. They wouldn't.

Well, the one thing that I learned from my communication law class was that you never scream "fire" if a crowded building, no matter your intent.
Not that I agree with your original post in any case, but there are things better left unsaid.
-
I hate all of you.
-
And that's why we all love you, Que.
-
It's like my kryptonite. :-[
-
Well, I don't hate you. You're depressed? Man, I'm starting to forget last time I wasn't. It's a shame we live so far away. Sounds like a great time to have a beer together.
-
Hey, are we having a depression drink-off? Why am I not invited?
-
By all means. The more the merrier, and we need merrier right now.
-
Speaking of which, I can't believe you are dodging out on chess. I know that you are good at it.
You know you want to.
-
I'm not very good at it. And I haven't played in many years, making it a rusty not very good.
-
Blah blah blah.
How else are you going to get good at it? None of us are great at it. Que told me he wasn't good and the nearly beat me (and next game he probably will). Bel told me he was terrible and has played quite well. It's fun. Join up sometime.
-
I just played my first game against another human being. So dont let experience stop you.
-
I wouldn't say I'm depressed but I certainly went through the most disturbing ordeal of my life yesterday.
-
And idol did quite admirably, too! His foundational grasp of the game isn't bad at all. Good place to start from. Fun times were had by all. In my opinion, chess is one of the few games where it's just as fun to play whether you win or lose. Or nearly so. Especially if you have good people to spend time with while you play. And hell, with Babas you can just come on and observe games without playing, yet still partake in chat! It's free live entertainment!
And forgive my earlier outburst, I was really just being facetious on all counts. The world tires me with its constant bullshit. It's enough to drive one underground.
EDIT - Gp... you'll be making an epic thread about this disturbing experience, yes?
-
I can't say with any certainty that I will or will not make a thread regarding my recent experience which is somewhat still ongoing.
Edit: I...I think I need to talk about this.

People have been screaming "kill him" and worse for months. I don't think that, after ignoring those blatant remarks for an entire election cycle, the Secret Service is suddenly going to panic over such an improbable threat.

I would compare it to sitting on the railing of a 10th-story balcony. Chances are you're not going to fall. How often do you fall when you sit on any narrow ledge? But the consequences of falling are too great to take a chance. I would put my arm around a friend or brother and gently force him away from that danger as well.
