WTH is a T1 tornado, is it the Schwarzenegger version, and if so, will the T2 shift from a tornado into an earthquake, maybe even a blizzard just for shiggles?
You could have just politely corrected, an extremely minor detail compared to the rest of the scope of his comment and left it at that. Btw after the pithy comment, you didn't even bother to comment on the real point he was trying to bring up.....
Stay classy as always XIAH.

Plus, it's nice to know that the word "pithy" is your word-of-the-day.

can we go back to discussing the intricacies of the situation rather than back and forth jabs over irrelevant things?
So nice it had to be said twice.

But on topic:
NYC Health Commissioner says Racism, not lax of social distancing, would contribute to any spikes of COVID-19
Seriously, you can't make this ***up.

Lego to stop selling police playsets and pledges 4m to stop racism.
This is hilarious, seeing all these *BRANDS* virtue signalling like this and throwing all police under the bus to do it.

So is 49 pages in 3 days a record or has there been another thread that blew up like this but faster?

It isn't really virtue signalling... it is trying to distance themselves from bad PR.
Hate the game... just make sure you are hating the correct game.

Remember the "Thank you First Responders" campaign that went on for that? Officers are part of the "First Responders" group....

I don't remember, but I'll take your word for it.
Business as usual as far as I can tell.

The 4m part is.
All these brands aren't doing this for any other reason than "please don't smash us up"

I don't know, I think the term "virtue signalling" is getting hijacked.
I just see a company capitalizing on current events like they have basically forever.

Most notably, free food and services for them. Generally, one big thanks. Still celebrated.

Looters/rioters/apologists do not think as normal human beings. They see this message and it goes well over their head.
Looters going to loot.

Business as usual. This type of thing happens every week in marketing.
Companies advertising that they are donating X-amount of dollars to Y-fund to provide Z-relief.

This is a ploy at virtue signalling. Abet a bad one, but still.

Well, people are starting to realize that they don't have a job and are running out of money while there are a bunch of "First Responders" who are overpaid with desk jobs, a cushy retirement plan and armed themselves to the teeth with the most expensive toys.
Morality scales with the amount of long term money you have. It reaches the peak somewhere between "a bit" and "modest" while it seems to get very flexible in the negative wealth or very wealthy.

Class and wealth have zero to do with morality.

The rioters and looters are brainlets, the people who lead them into areas to smash and grab are not. There are handlers behind these actions.
It won't work but that's obviously what they are trying to do, they know there is a guiding force behind the mindless violence, the same brain that is planting the bricks around etc.

Amazon took a stand and they don't have significant retail stores, though?
I mean, brands can stand for social justice. They have in the past, like when a bunch of companies pressured states over their transphobic bathroom bills.

I for one will never buy a Gillette razor for the rest of my life, thanks to their ad-campaign that men should shave their balls off last year.

I had never heard of this... I went to YouTube. All I could find was a video of a guy "reacting" to an ad where (in his opinion) men were asked to metaphorically shave off their balls (masculinity).
Is this what you are referring to or is there something more overt?
