I like to really lean into them hard and make caricatures out of them for ny own personal entertainment, a lot-perhaps an unhealthy amount, but try not to use them to actually index human beings.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 11:19 amI saw what you wrote. See my bold….when is it appropriate to use a stereotype for a person and when isn’t it appropriate? I don’t avoid stereotypes to make myself feel better. I was raised to take people as they come and have learned enough to realize stereotypes are not a valid way to categorize people.HooDat wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 11:13 amTLD - you seem to have skipped over an important part of my post - highlighted above.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 11:02 amUn huh. You are the guy that made a generalization….not me. Your opinion can be just as wrong as mine. You should stop hiring kids from fancy schools with fancy degrees and definitely should not encourage anyone to go to a fancy school and pursue a fancy degree, even if it’s the student’s choice.HooDat wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 10:59 amYou need to learn to hold more than one idea in your head at a time and not try to force everything into a universal one dimensional model. NOTHING is EVER always true.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 10:57 amThe reason isn’t because they are always true. How do you know what an electrician’s kid that goes to a fancy school has been told over and over again? You believe in stereotypes. It’s a free country.HooDat wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 10:53 amYou are free to believe what you want, esp if it makes you feel better about yourself, but stereotypes exist for a reason. And of course stereotypes are not universal (nothing is). But, I am not being the lest bit circumspect - I stand behind the fact that a lot more fancy people from fancy schools think they are better that everyone else (than equivilent non-fancy people from non-fancy schools) - because they have been told that over and over and over again. Why wouldn't they believe it?Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2023 12:52 pm “I mean FANCY people, who think their degrees from FANCY schools make them more important than regular people....” Hoodatis….
This is a laughable statement….wrapped up in the idea of being circumspect….. You think people from non fancy schools, with non fancy degrees don’t believe they are more import, or even worse, “better” than some regular people? …like I said, I don’t believe in stereotypes. People are people. Some are good and some are bad. Maybe we only know what we see? That adverse selection thing again.
Why are there stereotypes and which are true and which are false?
EDIT: Good win Saturday night
The best place for each unique individual to go to school really depends on the type of life they want to build for themselves when they graduate.
re: EDIT - UVA looked pretty good against a strong Ohio State team. I was particularly pleased to see the defense play well.
