Fisher Chemicals temporarily changed the color coded labeling of their lab supplies to promote breast cancer awareness. The problem is, the color coding reflects the grading and storage requirements of the chemical contents, so it's easy to see breaches of workplace safety when somebody misplaces a bottle of a dangerous compound. They decided to ignore that, because everybody knows that when handling chemicals, you should first and foremost consider the existence of cancer. It's extra funny because some of the pink labels obscured the classification of known potent carcinogens.

im pretty sure informing people about preventive health practices could be done both more efficiently, and more effectively without employing millions of marketing assholes with unlimited budgets who forego all messages for self indulgent PR stunts and corporate advertising e.g. by making sure everybody has a GP who can hand them a leaflet or something

beep by grandpa posted:Okay I really don't understand, what is the significance of performing a tribute song to an artist who just died but dressed as a losing presidential candidate? Lorne Michaels famously hates Leonard Cohen. He originally wanted to have the tribute song performed by Adam Sandler dressed up as Idi Amin, blackface and all, but then, during one of his morphine-induced blackouts, the crew re-wrote the bit to be a little more subtle.

Well What Now posted:Hot take: Lena Dunham is closer to being Donald Trump than most of Trump's supporters are. You are right, and in 2018 Donald and Lena will be photographed together at a White House reception because what they both care about is celebrity hunting and nothing more. Lena just thought Hillary was a bigger and easier to access / to ingratiate with celebrity than trump. But Trump will do as well.

IIRC he also contributed image evidence to the Brown Moses investigations. It was the only serious English language coverage of Ukraine at that time. So they did at least one thing right. steinrokkan has issued a correction as of 02:30 on Nov 23, 2016 |

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Can you explain Trump's election with Twilight metaphors? Trump is like Jacob, an unlikable, self-obsessed hothead with an attitude issue and a shallow physical lust for America, which he tries to feebly rationalize in his platitudes to her. He is the opposite of Edward, while Edward would keep America hanging for extended periods of time, only appearing at strategic junctures to temporarily reinforce his relationship with America, Jacob is basically a stalker, who appears downright pathetic and seems to do his more harm than good to his chances with America with his constant attempts to talk her into leaving Edward for good and becoming his girlfriend instead. However, much like Trump, Jacob reveals that he has several trumps up his sleeve - first, he becomes a vampire, thus reversing the powerplay between him and Edward, whose frail physique makes him seem weak, and reminds one of a sufferer of some disease, perhaps even consumption (or pneumonia!), second, he represents the interests of the citizens of America (his Native American tribesmen) against the arrogant, violent newcomers (the aristocratic, yet bloodthirsty Anglo-Saxon vampires who are intruders in Jacob's land). It doesn't need to be mentioned that this is a striking parallel to the Trump platform of protecting the territorial and demographic integrity of his country against a legion of rapists and terrorists. Now, in the books Bella chooses Edward over Jacob, but therein lies the real genius of Stephenie Meyer. Remember that the books were written during the Obama presidency - Bella here represents the naive America wowed by the Obama campaign, surrendering herself to his charms, even though it in effect means that the first sight that ignited her love would put her under the sell of Obama's natural follower, the uncharismatic, selfish Hillary (Obama is the side of Edward that made Bella fall in love with him, Hillary is the side that makes her relationship with him abusive and unsustainable). However, by doing so this America turns into yet another lifeless vampire. Now our gaze must turn towards Bella's newborn child, the product of her unholy bond with Edward (establishment Democrats), though which America itself was seemingly turned into a domain of ivory tower elites with no place for the common man. But Renesme, the child, has in fact warm blood coursing through her veins, she is the future of America, not Bella, and Jacob Trump sees it, he imprints on the newborn, and thus is symbolically described the dynamic of this election - the aging coalition of people who elected Obama is too lifeless, too disenchanted to really effect the world outside the circles of Establishment vampires, even though they are nominally bound to Democrats through marriage to Hillary Cullen, there is no life in them that could stop their descent into irrelevance. But they gave life to a new political being, Renesme, which is an antithesis of its parents, you can imagine her as all the expunged, abandoned life force of Bella / America coalescing into a new form, a fertile soil to be tilled by Trump - Jacob and his lustful, energetic, albeit naive and brutish way. steinrokkan has issued a correction as of 13:49 on Nov 23, 2016 |

There's a way to talk about issues while remaining respectful and considerate of the "less enlightened" people. Such articles realize they need to fulfill a certain didactic function to be effective, and that in order to be didactic, they need to start out from a broadly relatable point and work gradually, in a structured fashion, to the for many people transgressive opinion that is their point. However nowadays so many articles, like the Mario one, are written for the sole purpose of masturbating the author's ego and to challenge the world to a pissing match over wokeness, and as a result are antagonizing to everybody who doesn't already agree with him, and even to many people who do in fact principally hold the same views.
