You live in a rural town and work in semiconductor design?
Yea, maybe designing the box they get shipped in.
Actually no. Survivorship bias is precisely the act of using self referential anecdotal evidence and extrapolating it beyond its appropriate scope.
He used a self-referential anecdote to conclude something about himself, and nobody else. That is perfectly valid use of an anecdote. Just because anecdotes are often used incorrectly does not mean that every use of an anecdote is incorrect. You just saw an anecdote in a conversation and dutifully recited the logical fallacy lines.
For it to not be survivorship bias the anecdote needs to explore data beyond ones self.
No, it does not. He is not seeking to make any conclusion beyond himself. Why would he need extra data? He is saying "I've never had an accident, therefore given that past performance is a reasonable indicator of future performance, I conclude that I am a good driver." That is a perfectly valid statement. If he tried to conclude anything beyond himself, you might have a case. But, as it stands, he is not, so you don't.
The only thing dumber than a person who makes logical fallacies, is someone calling others out on logical fallacies incorrectly. Stop it, you're embarrassing yourself.

This right there is why the rest of the world doesn't think the US is a civilized country. You really managed to get from barbary to decadence without the civilization detour.
Since communism is, by definition, classless, you cannot both be classist and communist.
Racism is, again by definition, incompatible with abstraction.
My conclusion is that you're pretty shaky on definitions.
Dude 10cm is less than a hand span. How close do you want your car to be to other objects?
That's a problem with America and it's retarded culture, not developments in modern vehicle design.
That is NOT AT ALL what the parent poster said. You're a disingenuous dick and you should feel bad.
Actually no. He's using his anecdotal evidence correctly. Survivorship bias does not apply here.
Have you actually met any humans?
You have never checked out "Hunt Down the Freeman", aka "Hunt down the Refund"?
By now, the reviews are mostly trolling, but trust me, it IS the worst game currently available on Steam.
Yes, it's US centric. It's the US that poke Russia and China about it, guess why they poke them and not the others.
Don't kill the messenger, I just tell you why the US isn't bothered with any of the other nuclear powers.
