    We need to meet people where they are, not where the science says they should be.

    Edit: I really didn’t think this needed the /s tag, guys.

      If the science says one thing and has strong evidence, it doesn’t matter where you are. You don’t hold a rod of cobalt-60 just because you think you can tank the radiation.

        Yes, I was being sarcastic and thought it was obvious enough not to need a /s. People wanting to lick urinals in no way makes it a good recommendation for the organization that’s supposed to be keeping them healthy. Their purpose isn’t to validate people’s feelings (or protect companies from liability), it’s to tell them how to stay healthy.

          I’ve said this before, and I geuss it bears repeating until everyone is sick of hearing it: There is no tone without context.

          “Meeting people where they are at” isn’t something you should do with things like infectious diseases. For some context, the safety videos for machine shop training (or at least the ones I was shown) are people losing limbs to machines. They don’t sugar coat it, they don’t water it down, and if you don’t sit through the gruesome shit, they don’t let you in the shop.

          Maybe if people met reality where it’s at we wouldn’t have as many people who think they are the exception.

        Cobalt is pussy shit. I’ve been dosing uranium salts for a few years now to build my tolerance.

      I’m pretty sure, both that the science says quite specifically and in great detail to not lick urinals, AND that u/FlyingSquid is being humerus. ;-)
