Could do better? Maybe.  

If someone misses warnings printed on the “outside” of the wrapper, which is what everyone always sees and looks at immediately, why do you think having a warning printed on the inside of the wrapper does anything?

some dipshiat in marketing really screwed the pooch this time.

As a long-time nurse I can tell you the mother’s reaction is very common.  There’s a lot of anger involved in the grief over a death like this (because it was so totally preventable), and the person grieving cannot begin to face that they are angry at the person who died.  So they turn that anger onto something else. 

I have a cousin whose six-year-old son TELLS ME TO CHECK THE PACKAGES FOR ALLERGENS every time I bring them food. Boy quizzes me on how I prepared home-cooked meals for him.

My heart goes out to this woman, and I know she is just looking for a way to cope with losing her kid and she just needs someone to blame, but this isn’t a packaging issue it is a not paying attention issue. There is no way to solve that.

It’s not like I’m dancing on the girl’s grave, but by 15, you have to take some personal responsibility.  I ALSO understand how a mother who lost a child would rather take up a (perfectly fine) crusade rather than think “man, Madysyn sure fucked up”.

Thanks for the reminder about Prime Day.

If Hamilton is so interested in helping the working stiff, how come tickets to his Broadway show are going for like $1,000?

If being your authentic self online is so key, why aren’t you using your real name for Kinja commenting?

The problem is, you never know what's going to offend a potential recruiter. Now that all employers scour online social media, it's career suicide to be your "authentic self" online, unless it's literally part of your career. I'm a flaming liberal with strong views about social justice, but I work in a stodgy,

Can we talk about how the coach of this team is noted warlock ‘Doyle Balthazar’? 

He also appears to headbutt him then tries to instigate a fight with his “What you gonna do?” bullshit. This kind of “coaching” shouldn’t be tolerated at any level, but particularly in what is (I assume) a league that is supposed to be for young players to develop their game.

I think you need to read up on what actually motivates people. This generally has the opposite effect and causes someone to shut down.

yes, all eight teams in the league are the Ballers

A supervisor is trying to fight his employee, who is also a teenager. It’s probably bad. 

It’s pretty weird, almost certainly completely ineffective, and yeah, generally that kind of thing is considered grossly inappropriate in sports. If the only motivational tactic you can come up with is literally roughing up your own players, you’re a complete failure of a coach.

Your response is basically the “well, if you have nothing to hide, you don’t really need privacy” type argument which has always been silly. There are unintended consequences in a culture that is nosy and judgmental. Companies have been known to snoop on accounts or minorities that are attacked if they’re too public,
