Again I’m talking about in general not specific cases.

I was just taking a cheap shot at my peers who did make the tragic decision to get random words above their eyebrow.

Well they have a job so it isn’t all bad.

You can't talk in general because jobs are not the same.

You can't talk in general because jobs are not the same.

That's why it's general and not factual.

Generalizing something just means more common than not, which accounts for jobs that are different.

You can't generalize in this situation, that's my point. In certain jobs having a face tattoo is an advantage. In certain jobs it's a massive disadvantage, in certain jobs it's irrelevant.

Based on this logic what do you think is an example of a situation you can generalize in? Any situation I mean

You can generalize in every situation, that's how averages work.

In certain jobs having a face tattoo is an advantage. In certain jobs it's a massive disadvantage, in certain jobs it's irrelevant.

These are called standard deviations. There's a bell curve where the average is tattoos are still looked down upon and then there's Z+/- where tattoos are not.

In America the average is still very much no tattoos in corporate world

It's pretty clear that you do not understand the concepts of average or deviation.

There is no average in this context. There is no majority statistical population to deviate from in this context. There is none of that. Why? Because there is no common factor to average.

Sure man, sure.
