Seriously, language is a conveyor of meaning and boy does that expression convey meaning.
3M also has extremely aggressive water conservation goals which are also asked about on every project. I’ve been involved in leading roles on several. These projects have virtually zero direct monetary payback.
This isn’t some sort of fake signaling of virtue. They put dollars behind this. Lots of dollars. So, sic, you can kindly p-ss right off with your low information replies.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Re: Climate Change 2: Thank God for Global Warming
Actually, my favorite description of virtue signaling comes from Wikipedia.
Irony
A criticism of accusing another person of virtue signalling is that—as Jane Coaston in the The New York Times notes—in doing so ironically one is "trying to signal something about their own values: that they are pragmatic, appropriately cynical, in touch with the painful facts of everyday life".[20] In The Guardian, David Shariatmadari argues that this makes it "indistinguishable from the thing it was designed to call out [reproach]: smug posturing from a position of self-appointed authority".[3] Sam Bowman says of this that "saying virtue signalling is hypocritical. It’s often used to try to show that the accuser is above virtue signalling and that their own arguments really are sincere. Of course, this is really just another example of virtue signalling!".[5]Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Originally posted by dxmnkd316 View PostInteresting. I had never heard of this before. And if the use of that word doesn’t prove Sic is completely out of his element and doesn’t know sh-t, I actually am aware of the goings on behind the scenes at 3M. Every project that goes forward goes through several approval phases and now each one of those phases asks how can it be more sustainable or green. “Can we spend more to make it use less energy? Reduce solvent usage? Cut water consumption? How much more?
3M also has extremely aggressive water conservation goals which are also asked about on every project. I’ve been involved in leading roles on several. These projects have virtually zero direct monetary payback.

But why the press release if not to ... virtue signal.
I'm saying virtue signalling is nothing but self-aggrandizing to an audience, a con. (And that happens in all directions. I bet certain shareholders/investors are told more about the cost savings than the green aspects of this. Same con, other direction. And playing to those folks' virtues, namely profit.)
*Using less, costs less, after the R&D is done. And the R&D is normally a write-off or tax credit.The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

In fact, I think it was state street that said it was going to start using its enormous holdings to start voting on more progressive causes like equal representation for women.
Xcel Energy is going to provide only 100% renewables by 2050. B-B-B-BUT, THEY’RE VIRTUE SIGNALLING! No, they aren’t. Because they know it’s a better investment in the long run and it’s the right thing to do.
I’ll point this out again.

Re: Climate Change 2: Thank God for Global Warming
So announcing a plan is now virtue signaling? Apparently every press release EVER is a virtue signal...
I am gonna trust Sicatoka on all of this though over the guy who actually works at #M and knows the actual facts."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."
-aparch
"Scenes in "Empire Strikes Back" that take place on the tundra planet Hoth were shot on the present-day site of Ralph Engelstad Arena."
-INCH
Of course I'm a fan of the Vikings. A sick and demented Masochist of a fan, but a fan none the less.

Personally I will wait until the Manilla envelope shows up to prove this was all virtue signalling"It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."
