Her Garmin: today’s suggestion, rest
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.

(sad story, I know, but oddly similar to the story out of Barcelona this week…)
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.
I agree that you are correct. It’s a joke. And it’s about safety of the USER.
However, xkcd is a “brainy” and “technical” web comic. The author assuredly has a rigorous definition for anything like the axes in this comic.
You had me in the first half, not going to lie.
They’d say “you have microwaves and cars. Just keep laboring. Things are great for you”
Lol jk
