              Wagers don’t need to include money. I simply wager that you are Gen-Z. I could be wrong, but it is a strong assertion. I figured you would say otherwise if I was wrong. I’m off the the gym, but am happy to continue debating later.

                  I didn’t say that I had high confidence in that assessment; just enough to roll with it and possibly get corrected. Also, my dive logs would paint a different picture than cowardice. This is more like I don’t take stupid bets. I can hypothesize though that you are likely not a millennial unless at the tail-end because you immediately went to criticize my choice of language as not being PC and/or being a form of dog whistling. I then swooped in with context. It’s a writing trick to catch the reader’s attention.

                    If you wanted to get corrected and didn’t have confidence, you shouldn’t have made a declaration as if it was a fact. I doubt you’ll apologize for it though.

                    Also, you pretty much admitted that when you said ‘ghetto,’ you meant ‘black,’ which is the very definition of dog whistling.
