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.



This just seems so fake to me. I mean it probably happened, but its just so loving stupid that it's challenging my critical skills.

like I read a few years ago all they do is pay themselves a bunch of money and use the rest to "raise awareness", they give like nothing to breast cancer research

I really hate this aspect of social media. No one is obligated to take a stand on anything, regardless of how many followers they have, in fact I'd even consider JohnGHendy to be harassing Taylor Swift in this case.

lol what the gently caress

In twitter lingo it's "subtweeting." Basically you are a person with some followers and you say "hey person X is bad" then surprise, surprise, some subset of your followers goes and harasses person X. With great power (followers) comes great responsibility. Though I'd argue that one of those responsibilities isn't to give your hot-take on anything. That said lol if you believe in harassment on the internet.

I don't like the phrase 'virtue signaling,' in fact I hate it, but the safety pin does seem like one of those things.


But I don't get people who are really loving bothered by it or find it just the most hilarious though. Like who cares? They're just people. It's so much more funny when brands or w/e do this stuff

The main thing I dislike about virtue signaling, which is absolutely a word you should use and call people out on, is the lack of sincerity. Sincerity is important because if you don't care about something, say LBGT people, then as soon as it isn't popular anymore you'll go right back to hating them or, at best attempting to ignore them.

A topical example is Hillary Clinton and BLM. She cared about them as much as she needed to for their votes, but as soon as she was approached by them she and her friends started hissing and ignoring. The reason? Lack of sincerity.

The other reason it's a bad thing for lovely people is that it creates a false moral superiority without the required critical thinking to back it up. Why should we care about BLM? Why should we care about LBGT? I can answer these questions, the people wearing whatever fad and doing it for likes, can't. The result being they will just as easily support a registry for Muslim immigrants as long as the branding makes them feel good. It's intellectually bankrupt and shouldn't be supported.

It also leads to an "us vs them" mentality which is extremely unhealthy for society and guess who gets hurt in such a polarized society?

Today in our failed media experiment: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/12/19/public-editor/brooklyn-nets-liz-spayd-public-editor-ethics.html

You see, we were justified in totally ignoring our ethics policy to accept $6,100 in gifts in exchange for an extended advertisement for the local poo poo basketball team, because otherwise we would've never spent that kind of money to cover the local poo poo basketball team. But don't worry we were really snarky and woke in the ad copy we wrote and published for them.

quote:

Corbett said the editors took care to be upfront in telling readers that the Nets offered the exclusive package at no cost in order to get publicity. (Indeed, the story did make that clear near the top of the piece.)

IMO, disclosure goes a long way in righting ethical wrongs, especially in journalism. Though I could see it argued either way.

Does anyone actually prefer Dippin' Dots to real ice cream?

It's an occasional interesting treat that is flash frozen with liquid nitrogen, so it has a different texture and both texture and flavor are important parts of the "Snacking Experience." Your question creates a false dichotomy.

I have enjoyed Dippin' Dots on occasion, but always in the situation where Dippin' Dots were the only frozen treat immediately available. My question is: are there people who, when presented with both Dippin' Dots and regular ice cream, would choose Dippin' Dots more often than regular ice cream?

I would occasionally choose dippin dots over other ice cream, but other ice cream is usually more fulfilling.
