Bet is from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) not Gen whatever slang.
The following is from 12/15/1985 when Eddie Murphy is hosting Saturday Night Live. He uses “bet” at around 2:10 though it’s a solid monologue if you have seen “Best Defense” (if you have not don’t)
30·9 hours agoThis is literally an article about an NJ democrat who was arrested at a protest where other NJ democratic party politicians were arrested. My 2nd choice for governor, Ras Baraka, was arrested there as well. McIver was trying to prevent this illegal arrest.
The issue isnt that no one is doing anything it is that not enough of us are.
1·10 hours agoMy town was one of the wealthier in the USA at the time and had a substantial population of immigrants from Korea/Japan/Taiwan so it made sense as a third language offering for the kids who were going back to Asia.
A ton of American kids took it because their parents were in finance and pushed it.
edit: It wasn’t commonly offered in NJ schools in that time. That might have changed in the decades since I graduated
1·12 hours agoIn NJ most of it os because it is NJ which has a higher cost of living across the state (last I checked). Until federal legalization happens everything that is sold here is grown here. That keeps prices high as bonded warehousing space is pricy here.
It’s a joke about their writing system
Yes my public high school had it as a language back in the late 1980s/early 90s. This would be New Jersey, USA.
Tate wasn’t in MMA. He was in a smaller sized kickboxing league
Worth remembering not everyone in MMA is a westerner and that the fighters from Dagestan might just have different values than you.

2·1 day agoAmerica largely believes the right to free expression and speech outweighs the risks brought on by those rights.
The problem is now we have a lot of fascists and we are going to lose those rights
12·2 days agoIt was legal. There was no criminal penalty for it and it was handled by the legal system. It being uncommon is not the same as it being illegal.
No fault divorce made it easier and more common. It did not legalize it by any definition of that word.
There was stigma but that’s not the same as it being illegal. The fact your parents ARE divorced proves it was not illegal
The only thing you have convinced me of is that you do not understand what moving the goalposts are.
Again 3 relatives have divorced. No one faced legal penalties for doing so and it was approved by the state which means it is not illegal.
The third definition is the relevant one here
Legal -

No I im in a place where it is legal. I paid $45-60 for high grade in the 1990s in NJ and that’s the same price it is now. The higher grade stuff just got consistently better.
i never said it was easy sailing I said it wasn’t illegal and it wasn’t.
You keep trying to move the goalposts sp your claim could have merit and it does not. You could divorce. I know this because several if my ancestors did in the 1800s.
Yes that’s called the legal framework for how it worked. I have three ancestors who received divorces in the USA in the 1800s (two had kids together, and one never had kids with the divorced spouse). The two that had kids and divorced were over her infidelity and the third was beaten by her drunk husband.
I have no idea why you think it was illegal after the source tells you how it worked.
I didnt give you the same example. I gave you the context for why your example was the exception and not the rule.
That was an incorrect statement Im not sure why you are throwing a temper tantrum over the fact.
It is the single best explanation for what is going on. As someone raised around these types ypu grow up with so much smoke being blown up your ass about jow much “better” your schools are which isn’t always the case.
