This is topic rivka agrees with Jebus all the time (does she secretly think he is the best?) in forum Books, Films, Food and Culture at Hatrack River Forum.

You and me both, Annie.

Well it's not a secret anymore!
Rivka's secret pinings for many other Jatraqueros are, on the other hand, still classified.
(And man, jebus, that was some unexpected, strange stuff.)

(I'm actually not sure if that's a cool thing to say or not-that is, whether it's taken as prejudiced. I've never used the term myself, or even heard it used. Huh. Now that I type this, I'm wondering if it's considered neutral or offensive.)
Posted by Xavier (Member # 405) on :
Offensiveness aside, it is still a very strange label to try and give to rivka. While she is indeed Jewish and American, absolutely none of the other attributes of that stereotype apply to her in any way.

0_0 I had no idea, I'm so sorry. I never seen it used here in any way other than affectionatly.
And by here I mean locally.

"affectionately" (and to clarify, that is a comment on specifically who finds that sort of name for a minority affectionate rather than on spelling)
Posted by Strider (Member # 1807) on :
I've never heard jewish american princess used in any way that's not derogatory.
Posted by Raymond Arnold (Member # 11712) on :
I can hypothetically imagine it being used that way between people who know each other extremely well (in the same way that practically any derogatory phrase can become affectionate in the right setting) but people who talk to on the internet fall a bit outside the required familiarity zone.

It's say it's a little more along the creepy, uncomfortable, overly familiar line (rather than offensive). Like if I started calling you sweetheart or darling.

I don't understand what makes Jebus' original post creepy. It seems pretty amusing to me.

I think the original thread creation was fine. Maybe it could have done without the "does she fancy me?" thing. However, judging by the quoted text where rivka seems to be playfully insulting jebus, I don't think its out of the scope of their established banter.
The thread did get a bit weird though, I admit.

If rivka mistakes this as being anything other than gentle ribbing over an amusing trend I noticed, I'll certainly delete it.
Until then should I offer you some advice on what I would do if I were you or should we just take it as a given?
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
Well it is jebus and very much within his online persona.

I dispute that four times in the past two years equates to "all the time". Or that it even represents a trend.

Well observed, manji, thank you for taking this issue seriously. Of course, any more often and it would be a bit too obvious, don't you think? No one said rivka wasn't clever.

And we can consider you an authority on uncomfortable situations, since I seem to recall your penchant for asking girls flat out if they plan to have sex with you or not early into dates with them. Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
To be fair, Dobbie, there is substantial evidence that suggests Vermont is really a Canadian sleeper province inserted into the American northeast.

You're right! That is pretty silly! Now, you can show me where I've said that you start things off by asking that kind of question, and that will make it at all relevant to my proposals.
Please keep working on conveniently parsed recollections in an effort to make your creepy bad thread creepier and worse!

Unfortunately, no.
Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :
Nothing is intrinsically creepy or insulting. I just think, at least in its original form, the thread would have come off as unpleasant at least in some degree to rivka. I got that vibe pretty strongly. *shrug* I feel pretty sure about that, though I could be wrong. I also think, with less certainty, that that was known to jebus in the beginning, that the possibility was there, since he's been a member for a very long time, but even moreso here I could be wrong.
The important thing is, jebus is always the coolest, most aloof and witty participant in a thread. We know because he tells us!
Posted by Samprimary (Member # 8561) on :
Rivka's response to the thread in all probability: 'lol whatever,' stone wolf pulled out, blayne legit meant nothing by it, so no big.
So I guess to up the ante, jebus decided to bring up allegations about my dating life in really bad taste as a way to try to take a shot at me, just to make sure the thread had that special something. Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :
I don't know what that was about. I don't know if you two even know each other, or how he knew or thought he knew about your dating life.
Posted by jebus202 (Member # 2524) on :
Was it the fancy thing, Rakeesh? I figured "fancy" was an old-timey enough word for you folks that it wouldn't be taken seriously. Over here it is actually used instead of "crush" or "like like" or whatever else the kids are saying, but since we're in the minority on the site, I figured it would work.

Ok, right, so now I'm creepy. Just because I spent hours reading every single post rivka has ever made, and categorising them into pro-Jebus, anti-Jebus and other (a suprisingly large column), I'm now creepy?
If this is creepy, I don't want to be normal.

You're right, it was out of order, I'm sure you pose the question much more delicately than I phrased it.

Wow. Um.. I didn't find it particularly creepy until you described it that way. Now I'm thinking you should seriously consider getting some psychological help.

It's that I have a personal policy of: if I'm going out with someone in a relationship where we haven't had sex yet, then the decision to progress to having sex is only going to occur (on my end) while we're both sober. If we haven't decided on that (in effect, "securing consent" in the most mechanical language) one way or another before booze comes into the picture, then I'm fine with abstaining until the next date, rather than jumping on an opportunity that may be just because we're both drunk. Depending on the person and the circumstances, communication about this decision can turn out to be very fast and straightforward! The policy has never caused me any trouble, people appreciate it, and it's avoided what would have otherwise been ill-advised pairings (confessions the next day that she has a boyfriend and was about to be unfaithful, etc).

Never. Roughly the equivalent, sure. But I loathe "whatever" as one-word response, and tacking a "lol" on it does not help.

That was my initial response as well. But you know, jebus clearly has a lot of time on his hands.

When someone asks me a question like "Do you want to do X or Y?" and I don't have a preference I say "whichever"...as to me "whatever" means "go soak your head, I don't give a crap".

I would have chosen the expression "wryly amused". Which I suppose is loosely equivalent but to me at least, it doesn't express as much contempt as "whatever".
