Some truly trenchant analysis you two are engaged in. Deep stuff. :rolleyes:
How far down the page does this thread have to go before you bump it again?
There is no context that would make this not ridiculous. If someone asked you to do it, then they asked you to do something ridiculous, and you complied with a ridiculous request, making yourself look ridiculous.
But good job “sneaking in” your (supposed) high test score!
“Talked about it”? That doesn’t answer the question. Have you told your son (and other kids) that black people are, on average, inherently inferior in intelligence due to their genetics, yes or no? If not, why not?
It does answer the question. I said I talked to my son about it. That means I honestly represented my views. And I didn’t talk to my other kids about it. What else can I say?
Nice job sneaking in that “supposed”. :dubious: Isn’t there a lawyer on the board who acts as a go-between to settle bets? We should bet a thousand dollars on this easily-settled factual question, and s/he can act as an arbiter while preserving my privacy. What do you say, champ?
ETA:
I’m not the one who bumped it. I posted a comment here last fall, the day after Halloween. Then someone posted a comment in March, and I ignored it. Several people posted comments last week, and I responded.
There we go.
Well that’s a shame. I thought I recalled you saying that you weren’t comfortable sharing that with your kids, but either my memory is wrong or you changed your mind afterwards.
Hopefully your son doesn’t inherit your racism, and hopefully you won’t pass it to your other kids. It really is important to avoid passing racism down to the next generation.
Not a chance. I literally have no idea, and no interest, in what your test scores are, and your word or even your ridiculous video provide zero information on this question. I just find it funny that you think this is important or interesting enough to mention, much less make a video about, and that you think internet strangers would find this notable as anything more than a “hey, look at the clown who made a video of a piece of paper with numbers on it!” kind of thing.
I would say my word, PLUS my willingness to put my money where my mouth is, say a lot.
It’s pathological and pathetic how much you crave attention.
It says absolutely nothing. This shouldn’t matter to you - what internet strangers think about your test scores. And yet it does - enough that you filmed yourself with supposed proof, as if this would convince anyone.
It does say a lot about you, but nothing about your test scores.
Anyone desperate enough for validation from internet strangers to film themselves with a test score report is desperate enough to forge a test score report. Thus it’s an entirely pointless exercise, except for mockery.
If you can’t trust the word of an Internet stranger, who can you trust?
If you actually know what these reports look like, the kind of paper they are on, etc., you would know better than to think it would be remotely easy to forge them (for good reason: for people attempting to get their kids into elite colleges, they are worth god knows how much money). And if anyone were actually willing to take this bet, I would get an official score report sent directly from ACT, Inc. If you were truly skeptical, this should be an opportunity to make some easy money.
So: saying you don’t care what I scored, that it’s poor form for me to brag about it? Fine. Guilty as charged. I don’t give a shit. But claiming actual skepticism about the veracity of my score rings hollow if you’re not willing to put your money where your mouth is. :dubious:
I don’t really care about your score or whatever else you are trying to prove. But, is the kind of paper they use inaccessible to normal people?
I’m fairly certain I could mail a “score report” to you and you wouldn’t know if the paper was “ACT score report paper” or not.
Going on and on about betting rings hollow when it’s against the rules of the board.
I don’t care about paper, I don’t care about your test score… and all you’re doing is broadcasting your strange desperation for all to see, again and again. Anyone desperate enough for stranger validation to make that video is desperate enough to make up stuff about the type of paper (cue your post in which you link to the official ACT paper supplier that you spent 45 minutes to find) and/or even acquire this supposedly special paper for your forgery.
I’ll tell you what - I’ll believe that this is your test score if you make a video, in person, with the sitting president (or whatever) of the ACT organization, in which you are standing together, and they verbally confirm your test score (with your full name and ID held up).
So get to it!
Don’t try to pretend I “desperately” keep bringing this up. That’d be you. Look at any thread where this topic is discussed, and other than the one time years ago where it developed organically out of an argument between me and Dibble, it’s *always *you, Andy. :dubious:
Your desperation is in continuing to try and “prove” this test score – as if anyone cares, and as if such a video from an internet stranger would possibly be seen as proof by anyone with half a brain.
Yes, I bring it up, because it’s so funny. It’s still funny! But if you concede that your video was really dumb, and trying to “prove” a supposedly high test score to internet strangers is really dumb, I’d be willing to refrain from bringing it up again. Even though it’s still funny.
I’m not conceding anything, and you can feel free to bring it up all you like. Every time you do, I’m going to say that you are obsessed with some kind of deep emotional need to deny that I got a 35 composite on the ACT, so you keep bringing it up out of context.
Ha! He did it again!
