I wonder if “that Hebrew shit” might have been clearly offensive to certain people who are Jewish?

I see no way that it could’ve been offensive. yhwx is incredibly close to the Hebrew name for God, so I asked if his name was ‘Hebrew shit’.

Clearly I can’t explain it to you. As a Jew, I was offended.

Please, explain it to me, because I am just not seeing it, not for lack of trying.

I see no way that it could’ve been offensive. yhwx is incredibly close to the Hebrew name for God, so I asked if his name was ‘Hebrew shit’. Sure, it wasn’t a legitimate question, it was more of an observation. If his name was something like “Shlomo Goldstein” or “moneylover84” and I said “oh is that Jewish?” then I could see how someone would be offended.

What does yhwx mean? Is that some kind of Hebrew shit?

Do not go there.

Huh?

It’s a little anti-Semitic

That’s not what I intended. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetragrammaton

The Hebrew name for god is YHWH, which is close to yhwx.

moron

That’s pretty rude.

No different than saying something like “ching chong” to make fun of Chinese names.

No, it isn’t.

What do you LIKE about the EU?
Time

You’ve gotta read it. I’d say it’s pretty widely regarded as the best SW novelization. Definitely better than the movie.

Very minor spoilers, but it happens in the movie too so it’s not really a spoiler.

The only thing I didn’t like was when Anakin was slaughtering the separatists, he had some really cheesy lines. They did serve the purpose to show that he was enjoying the power the dark side brought him, so I guess there was a point to them, but it felt like Stover was having a bit too much fun with it.

Other than that, amazing book, I would definitely recommend it.

Yoda and Palpatine NEVER should have been given lightsabers.

I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to disagree with you guys on the issue with Palpatine’s lightsaber. Although it does seem weird that he would need one, I think it really adds to his character and makes him more menacing. When you look at him, you would think that he is a feeble old man that does not have much skill in combat, but then he takes out his lightsaber and it suddenly makes him seem like a much bigger threat. Yoda follows the mindset of not using his powers for attack, but Palpatine seems like the kind of person who would do the opposite. There are many situations I could imagine him using his saber, especially when he gets confronted by Mace Windu and the other Jedi.

With Yoda on the other hand, I totally agree with you.

Indeed, very menacing.

Public Service Announcement

In light of the many incorrect capitalizations of my username, I have created a capitalization guide:

  • My username should never be put in ALL CAPS, as in YHWX
  • The first letter should never be capitalized, as in Yhwx, even at the beginning of a sentence

As a consequence of these two rules, the only acceptable form of my name is ‘yhwx’. No exceptions. That is the only way.

Gotcha, thanks for the tip XWHY

I deactivated my Facebook account. I didn’t reconnect with any of the people I wanted to reconnect with, and aside from a whole load of worthless e-mail notifications and two friend invites from people I’ve never met, I got absolutely nothing out of the experience.

Social networking services are for the birds.

I only use Facebook to look at joke and shitposting pages. The website just isn’t laid out very well, IMO.
