Both parties clarify to each other exactly what they are betting on, both agree, then seal it with a handshake. None of which happened with us. You changed the conditions and claimed "victory," but I never agreed to the conditions. Why would I have?! I only engage people in sucker bets, and why would I have EVER agreed to a bet that I'd clearly lose? B.S.! Expand By biased... you mean they would side with me. I get it, you lost.

We'll do a trial by YOUR peers. Expand Because I curiously have so many enemies on here from 20 years ago and they all reinforce each others' confirmation biases. No one could be honest about it. If people were informed as to how betting works, no honest person could look at that and agree that we had fully agreed upon the terms of the bet. Neither of us did.

No one makes up a stereotype just for fun. Stereotypes are the generalizing of a trait or trend from anecdotal experience to a general population and then back down again to a different sample within the original population from whence the anecdotal experience came. Hence, our Messiah Barack Obama in describing his grandmother as a Typical White Woman. He would have described her as a Karen had the term been invented yet. He used the term as a shorthand because to have listed each of her individual characteristics, beliefs, hopes, behaviors, etc would have taken waaayyyy too long. Therefore he availed himself of a valid stereotype to advance the narrative to the actual point he wanted to make about his childhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_jizzle_05 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 It would be a nice piece of nostalgia to read JTTS's Mocco poems again. (Or were they ditties?)
