# Jesus
Jesus Christ (also Jesus of Nazareth, about 4 BC to 33 AD) was a carpenter preacher that was said to be the son of [God](god.md), whose life along with supposed miracles he performed is described by the [Bible](bible.md), and who is the center figure of [Christianity](christianity.md), the world's largest religion; as such he is probably the most famous of all men in [history](history.md) (probably followed by [Hitler](hitler.md), kind of his opposite). In fact we count our years more or less from his birth. He gained many followers as he preached that God has decided to change his laws a bit and accept all "well behaved" people into his heaven kingdom (i.e. not just [jews](jew.md) as was the case until then). For causing a great social disturbance by this he was later crucified, as he himself predicted -- according to the Bible he sacrificed himself by this to redeem the sins of all people, was resurrected after death and came up to the heaven to dwell by the God's side. Without subscribing to any mass religion or even having to believe in [god](god.md), our [LRS](lrs.md) is greatly aligned with much of the teaching of Jesus Christ, especially that of [non violence](non_violence.md), [love](love.md) of all people (even one's "enemies"), modesty, frugality etc.
As perhaps the most influential man in history whose image has been twisted, used and abused over the centuries, we have to nowadays distinguish two separate characters:
- **Jesus of the Bible**: Jesus as described by the Bible, a book full of centuries worth of distortion, inaccuracies and purposeful religious propaganda. Here Jesus is to a great degree a fictional character, though based on a real man; he is the son of God (some even seeing him as actually the God himself somehow), a man without sin, born from a virgin, who performed countless miracles like healing the blind and even resurrecting dead, who spoke the word of God, was resurrected after death and is now overlooking us from the heaven.
- **historical Jesus**: The true man, as seen by history, that actually lived and was almost definitely just a mere mortal like any of us, even if others and perhaps even himself may have believed otherwise. Most historians agree Jesus lived (with some minority disagreeing), though of course they reject he would possess any supernatural powers -- these, they say, are things spawned as a legend, a propaganda of mass religion etc.
**Jesus was [anarchist, pacifist](anpac.md), [communist](communism.md) and explicitly rejected [capitalism](capitalism.md)**, though stupid Americans somehow seem to masterfully apply selective blindness and completely ignore his quotes such as:
- *"A camel will go through the eye of a needle before a rich man enters the kingdom of God."*
- *"If someone wants to sue you and take your shirt, give him your coat also."*
- *"If someone throws stone at you, throw back at him as well but with bread."*
- *"I tell you: do not resist an evil man. If anyone slaps you on the cheek, turn to him the other cheek also."*
- ...
**fun facts about Jesus**:
- **He had siblings** according to the Bible: brothers James, Joses, Simon, Jude and some sisters.
- **He was most likely crucified naked**, as was common practice to dishonor the crucified people. Covering his nudity in most depictions may be because of the effort to make it less obvious he was a [jew](jew.md), i.e. that his penis was circumcised.
- **He is acknowledged by other religions such as the [Islam](islam.md)**, though in these he usually plays some minor role of just some mortal preacher.
- We do not sport any anti-white [political correctness](political_correctness.md), however **the traditional depictions of his looks are likely wrong**, he most likely looked much different from the bearded, long-hair white man depictions we see in paintings -- these were likely affected by the Greek ideals of what gods look like. Jesus was a jew, probably of darker skin like all people from the area he lived in, possibly without long hair as some of his followers mention in the Bible that it is inappropriate for a man to have long hair.
- There are some non-canonical gospels (not accepted to Bible) that talk some funny shit about Jesus, e.g. the Infancy Gospel of Thomas talks about how **Jesus as a child killed other children** in revenge with his supernatural powers.

Our current western music is almost exclusively based on a 12 equal temperament diatonic scale -- basically the 7 tone (12 semitone) scale in which a semitone step corresponds to the multiplying factor of 12th root of 2 -- this we usually nowadays find on our pianos. 4/4 rhythm is most common but other ones appear, e.g. 3/4. Yeah this may sound kinda too nerdy, but it's just to set clear what we'll work with in this section. Here we will just suppose this kind of music. Also western music has some common structures such as verses, choruses, bridges etc.
Our current western music is almost exclusively based on major and minor diatonic scales with 12 equal temperament tuning -- i.e. basically our scales differ just by their transposition and have the same structure, that of 5 whole tone steps and 2 semitone steps in the same relative places, AND a semitone step always corresponds to the multiplying factor of 12th root of 2 -- this all is basically what we nowadays find on our pianos and in our songs and other compositions. 4/4 rhythm is most common but other ones appear, e.g. 3/4. Yeah this may sound kinda too nerdy, but it's just to set clear what we'll work with in this section. Here we will just suppose this kind of music.

**Music is greatly about breaking the rules**, like most other [art](art.md) anyway -- you have to learn the rules and respect them most of the time, but respecting them all the time results in sterile, soulless music; a basic rule is therefore to break the rules IN APPROPRIATE PLACES, i.e. where such a rule break will result in emotional response, in something interesting, unique, ... This includes for example leaving the scale for a while, adding disharmony, adding/skipping a beat in one bar, ...
**If you wanna learn music, firstly you should get something with piano keyboard**: musical keyboard, electronic piano, even virtual software piano, ... The reason being that the keys really help you understand what's going on, the piano keyboard quite nicely visually represent the notes (there is a reason every music software uses the piano roll). Guitar or flute on the other hand will seem much more confusing; of course you can learn these instruments, but first start with the piano keyboard.

Other important intervals are **tone** and **semitone**. Semitone is a step from one key to the immediately next key (even from white to black and vice versa), for example from C to C#, from E to F, from G# to A etc. A tone is two semitones, e.g. from C to D, from F# to G# etc. There are 12 semitones in one octave (you have to make 12 steps from one tone to get to that tone's higher octave version), so a semitone has a multiplying factor of 2^1/12 (12th root of two). For example C2 being 65 hertz, D2 is 65 * 2^1/12 ~= 69 hertz. This makes sense as if you make 12 steps then you just multiply 12th root of two twelve times and are left simply with multiply by 2, i.e. one octave.

OpenArena (OA) is a first person pew pew arena shooter [game](game.md), a [free as in freedom](free_software.md) [clone](clone.md) of the famous game Quake 3.

# Shogi
Shogi, also called *Japanese chess*, is an old Asian board game, very similar to [chess](chess.md), and is greatly popular in Japan.
TODO
Similarly to [chess](chess.md), [go](go.md) and other similar board games, [LRS](lrs.md) sees shogi as one of the best games ever as it is legally not owned by anyone, is relatively [simple](kiss.md), cheap and doesn't even require computer to be played.
{ Lol apparently (seen in a YT video) when in the opening one exchanges bishops, it is considered [rude](unsportmanship.md) to promote the bishop that takes, as it makes no difference because he will be immediately taken anyway. So ALWAYS DO THIS to piss off your opponent and increase your change of winning :D ~drummyfish }
The game's disadvantage and a barrier for entry especially for westeners is that the **traditional design of the pieces sucks big time** as the pieces are just same-colored pieces of wood with Chinese characters on them which are unintelligible to anyone non-Chinese and even to Chinese this greatly visually unclear -- all pieces just look the same on first sight and the pieces of both player are distinguished just by their rotation. But of course you may use different, visually better pieces, which is also an option in many shogi programs.
