The Real timschochet

Thanks for answering for me! I was going to explain how Bibi is involved in a little ethnic cleansing, how he tried to help Hamas before October 7, how he wants the Palestinians completely removed from Gaza so he can build a greater Israel there, how he has no interest in a two state solution, etc. etc. But your explanation works too!

Because Netanyahu is a wannabe dictator who is not serving our interests (or frankly the Jewish people of Israel.)

I don’t think we should cut off aid to Ukraine. That would be very bad.

I don’t want to talk about Dante. I think he’s going to be a great QB. I wish he had stayed at UCLA. But he’s not even going to start next year is he? I read they have some other hot transfer. Oregon is at a disadvantage for Heismans like all teams on the West Coast. The only exception is USC. The other schools just can’t seem to win them. I think it’s an east coast bias. Phil Knight must have spent tons of money last year on Bo Nix and it came to nothing.

It wasn’t nearly the first. We destroyed and rebuilt Nicaragua several times, Cuba, the Philippines, Chile, and several other countries all before World War II. Even if you count World War II, Italy and West Germany came before Japan.

As it happens I am currently reading this: https://www.amazon.com/Judgment-Tokyo-World-Making-Modern/dp/B0CHFVXFKL/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=20W51TGCHK672&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.66M8LZteRm-uXY2_cEl7SZrWuoaESGN2hBuyYfzW3w6caz2Z6kQSyVqurb7YcDUEExxzBMi9KvgZanYEHlF0yV-eQCgCmPZBWZBIZY5nmQ2bzf8B-6aOnRTAbE7bn7RG-0c3QvNCxtzDmECNaKTuY-6gWJEMoLmbSyCb0jvCLBLDeaZ6Q0Xw-mc-WOb2nBW7NoGwuPPWRwqaJ7-GeAOGeQ.ZX9ShT5TyIu-H3XMzzf8Hh4rWNCdD9GM26FytqbyeSw&dib_tag=se&keywords=judgment+at+tokyo&qid=1711863146&sprefix=judgment+%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-1 I highly recommend it, very well written.

@Engorgeous George I will not be writing you a check, now or next week. I will pay you by Venmo or PayPal. If you don’t have one of these find someone who does. That’s the only way you’re getting paid. You don’t get to dictate that part of it to me.

Republicans are already in big trouble in the House of Representatives for the upcoming election. Now it sounds like they might balk at spending money to fix this bridge. If they do, watch out, there will be a blue wave incoming.

The first 3 didn’t.

Well there’s only one solution then. I need to buy another Trump Bible!

So according to what I just read the Trans day on March 31 is 11 years old, and the Easter Egg rules are 40 years old. Is this correct?

And here. @Engorgeous George thinks the “up to you” means I gave him the power to end the bet today making him the winner. @Strike agrees with that and therefore I’m going to pay. But I strongly DISAGREE. It’s crap.

I was pretty clear here.

Should have waited? I was willing to wait. Go back and read the posts.

You know, if I had wanted to, I could have discounted @Strike’s ruling, because @Engorgeous George refused to accept it. Using the same stupid logic that he’s using against me I could have argued that since he rejected my offer of asking for outside opinions I don’t have to accept them either, despite agreeing that I would. But of course I would never do that, because I don’t look for ways to weasel out of things or trick people after I know I’ve lost. So I will pay the man, and be done with it. It’s total bullsh!t, and he knows it, but he’ll get my money.

It’s been settled in terms of payment but I would still appreciate your opinion on the matter. When you’re up to it.

Wow. To say I’m disappointed with this opinion would be an understatement. I strongly strongly disagree with you. But I will abide by the terms I wrote. @Engorgeous George my office is closed for the week so I cannot mail you a check until a week from Monday. However if you have Venmo or PayPal I will send you the money right now.

Nope. I dispute your claim that I lost this bet. Fully dispute it. So I will leave it to others to decide. That’s it.

Let them read both threads. If just one of them agrees with you I will concede. It’s not a teachable moment because no matter how this ends up I know and you know what a weasel and a jerk you’re being. But I will leave it up to them to decide if I have to pay you.

@Voltaire @jerryskids @Jon_mx @Strike A couple of you don’t like me very much, and all four of you disagree with me nearly all of the time. Nonetheless I think all 4 of you are honest and honorable people. So I’m going to leave this in your hands. @Engorgeous George thinks he tricked me into agreeing to end our bet today, which would make him the winner because Joe Biden is not yet the nominee. I think it’s a dumb trap, a way to weasel out of eventually paying me, and I didn’t fall into it anyhow. I ask that you guys please go back and read the last page or so. If ANY of you honestly think I lost this bet, post that here and I will pay the man.

What I thought. You know already no honest person is going to agree with you. Go away.

Tell you what. I trust the integrity of @Voltaire and @jerryskids as much as I do anyone here. I disagree with them most of the time but they strike me as honest. Let them read the last page or so of this thread, including your argument as to why you think I lost, and my response. If either one of them agree with you I will send you the $2000. Agreed?

Except Im not asking for any money until I win the actual bet.

First off you were the punk ass. For telling me to go back to my thread and before that for bragging about about the wager and wanting me to write “I am a dumbass” on a check. Second your semantics and stupid tricks are unimpressive. And frankly stupid. I’m sure some folks here who already don’t like me will no doubt cheer you on but I believe most people reading this will know what a weasel you’re being. I think you know it yourself. But whatever.

I think I won the spirit of the bet, but not the actual bet. The spirit of the bet was the idea that the Democrats were so nervous about Biden that they would find a way to replace him on the ticket. That’s obviously not going to happen now. That’s what I meant. But of course I didnt.win the actual bet. Not until he is the actual nominee. I never asserted otherwise.
