Is this in Iceland?

Boo! You're conscious that you're breathing, you jerk

It's a cross-industry term. Construction, factory production, food services, just about any manual labor industry uses "safety culture" to describe a dominant attitude of life safety above all other priorities. Just because you haven't heard it before doesn't mean it's not common. In fact, if you do manual labor and you haven't heard it, be very concerned about the environment you work in

So I'm seeing a few comments deriding "safety culture", as in "vAlUiNg LiFe iSn'T a CuLtUrE" and "tHeY ShOuLd dO ThAt AnYwAy"

But, see, in this country (and many others), production and getting it done tends to trump everything else. I personally know roofing laborers, laborers, who would rather fall off of a roof than wear a fall protection harness. They don't get a bonus for finishing faster, they don't have to buy the safety gear. They just don't want safeguard themselves because a) it's a hassle, and b) "I've never needed it before".

Safety culture has to be developed in just about any enterprise. Labor and management both have to exert effort to develope and maintain a dominant attitude of life safety. And that dominant attitude is what people mean when they talk about "safety culture".

Yes, protecting life above profit should be the default setting. Should. But it isn't. Yes, management should bear the brunt of fault when safety culture is lost, yet there's still a measure of responsibility on labor to maintain a safety culture and push back against the siren call of getting the job done

Oh, but since DND is bad, they should call it BadDragonGate

Nah that's when the red hat crowd discovers that Dimension 20's resident GM is BLM

You would be the first. I don't like where my head is at

I hate that you're right

It's super annoying. So annoying that I now get my news exclusively from what written on bathroom stalls at the Lowe's on Silver Drive.

Whoever this Trump guy is, people have very strong opinions about him

Not sure if you're joking but the original "-gate" = political scandal was the break-in at the DNC headquarters in the Watergate Hotel by people connected to the Nixon administration.

So this is either a TIL or "I met a pedant with no sense of humor on the Internet" moment for you

100% agree about electric instruments. I would say guitar pickups and amplification ushered in a new generation of innovation in both music creation instrument usage. Several posters here have mentioned innovations like the Wall of Sound, or Hendrix, but those don't happen without George Beauchamp creating the electric guitar pickup.

George Beauchamp is modern music's Fosbury

First off, that website is an ad dumpster fire. UBlock is a requirement.

Second, here's the write from the article referencing his Facebook post:

He wrote: "Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?' The answer is, you're doing it. Right now."

Yep, ten year old me browsing the toy section until the spine of the Sears catalogue broke.

And, of course, thirteen year old me discovering boobies in the lingerie section

Brendan just wants to serve you better

Name and shame my dude

I thought this was a bone hurting juice comic but, no, I think it's the original.

Amazing

Good bot

How they do rise up

OP does say in their description that the poor are forced into this situation. It's a little clumsy in wording but I don't see any blame attached.

I was just directly quoting the book in which the theory is originally expressed
