They’d say “you have microwaves and cars. Just keep laboring. Things are great for you”

Lol jk

You’d better ask her if she’s a cop. Wouldn’t want the internet to find out you have a fetish for the pigs.

Step one, have the best meal of your life *so far *

It’s also the FIXED portion. Everyone has seen people est and enjoy some times of red cherries. Yet, presumably, if you got new data showing drivers do actually pay attention and being a pedestrian was relatively safe you would adjust your beliefs.

A belief based on unbiased data (“being a pedestrian where I live is dangerous and this may be due to a lack of awareness by drivers”) is not the same as an unfounded, fixed belief based on no data, unrepresentative data, or data that does not reflect the root cause.

Sorry, I don’t think “driver” is a “type” of person for this purpose.

Maybe if you decided drivers are foolishly for being drivers and therefore in a different arena, say gambling, can easily be buffed against. “Drivers are risk takers and therefore it makes sense to bluff against them in poker”. That’s a stereotype.

To say drivers, while they are driving, don’t look cautiously enough, or whatever, you are simply making a statement about drivers. Not about drivers in a different context. Not about a type of person who in the situation is a driver… I don’t think it’s a stereotype. You’d either have to be unjustly discriminating against a type of driver or judging drivers in a context outside of driving.

From Oxford:

a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.

Is a driver a type of person? Maybe. I think it’s generally prudent to be cautious as a pedestrian, regardless of the rationalization or mnemonic. I don’t think assuming drivers don’t see pedestrians is a stereotype. Maybe it is.

Fixed and oversimplified seems to be doing a lot of work here. “Don’t eat red berries, many red berries signify poison”. That’s an oversimplified idea.

“Asians are good at math”. An example of a positive stereotype, which are also corrosive to the people they are applied to.

a woman driver probably doesn’t see pedestrians

A negative stereotype that makes you sound sexist but also probably makes you more cautious as a pedestrian, but not as cautious as assuming any given driver could end your life.

Tldr: do you know what a stereotype is?

I mean yeah. We all knew Robert’s wasn’t going to encourage Biden to prosecute Bush and Obama for drone strikes.

Definitely the simplest answer and aligns so far with out observations.

You used the word “just”.

I guess my angle is if we agree the market isn’t just, then maybe you just pay everyone equally? Don’t all people need to eat and have a place to sleep?

Just?

Like divide profit by a weighted hours worked average for all employees?

Whoa. Side Walk Slam. I heard their EP in middle school and then haven’t thought about the since.

People raise good points about the federal system.

Let’s say a governor did hire a hitman and murder is a state crime. All of a sudden we now have a conspiracy and ideally the federal government would take jurisdiction of what is now a federal crime. At that point, the governor would need to bribe or threaten the president to pardon these federal crimes…

Similarly, if it was the president orchestrating some sort of conspiracy, he might be able to delay or pardon federal offences, but as we are seeing with the 2016/2020 election crimes of Trump, a patchwork of state and federal cases are made all being handled (or delayed) via different powers.

Federalism is sort of good in that power is relatively diffuse. But it breaks down when 50% of courts and other officials just decide their friends can do as they will.

Are we unhappy kids like Taylor swift? Or is the song creepy in a religious context? Genuinely unclear what the point is.

You had me in the first half, not going to lie.

Even with a load of great ideas, and lots of the technical data (hardware drawings, software and firmware codes) you’d have still have to set up the supply chains, and convince a host of other people you have insanely good ideas.

Lots of people had ideas for miniaturization and portability of computer hardware but as soon as you quickly got a technology out early, the time line would change and so would the compatibility issues… You’d soon just be Steve Jobs managing a company creating shit, just with some extra juice in your back pocket.

What if consumers were not ready for your ideas? What about all the other dependent technologies? Are you an expert in battery or glass technology that’s needed to really make the smart phone possible? Are you able to just call up ASML in 1970 and explain them how to jump a few generations of chip scaling?

I don’t want to speak for you. But it seems there’s two loud conservative voices that talk about news coverage.

One loud voice, especially when the president has an R next to his name says things like “why is the news so pessimistic? It inflates the risk of things like tornadoes, car crashed and violent crime. It’s silly. People should stop worrying and exercise, because it’s heart attacks that will kill them!”

But then later. Others decide that actually the news is not panicked enough about kidnapping, CSA material, human trafficking and the like. People just aren’t aware that predators lurk everywhere! “the media must be complicit!”

If the news covered this stuff any more, most parents would have to stop staying current due to fear. If the news covered it less, they would not be able to appeal to lurid needs of the average viewer and go out of business.

So yes i do think it is social media. But they are more akin to the old internet, or Facebook before it got massive and bad.

For exampke? There is not a massive algorithm, especially a personalized algorithm (obviously Top and Hot are technically algorithms, but they democratically place popular posts to anyone who hasn’t blocked/is following the community).

For many comparisons they are obviously social media, but for other types of comparisons I don’t think it’s a great match.
