  • Damn, someone really said “a pox upon you” and it worked way too well huh

    Fr tho from what I’m reading online monkeypox looks harder to spread than corona, requiring either direct contact with contaminated skin or materials or prolonged face-to-face contact. As long as this latest outbreak isn’t a direct result of a mutation that makes it more easily spreadable, practices developed during Covid should be more than enough to keep people safe at scale - although this time the heavy sanitation of physical surfaces in public spaces and infrastructure will be far more necessary, especially since I’m sure a certain segment of the population we’re all familiar with by now will be posting tiktoks about rubbing their mpox scabs all over hand rails and bus seats.




  • It’s one thing if it’s something where the victim is voluntarily putting themselves at risk (like skydiving, or all the “so spicy you have to sign a waiver to eat it because it actually could kill you” things), but a wrongful death clause for a streaming service?? Under what pretext, that Goofy’s gonna snap from all the jokes about him, Samara himself out of the TV and murder a random set of viewers???

    At the very least there should be a limit to arbitration clauses to only cover what could be reasonably expected from the service, which does not include anaphylactic shock from a streaming service.

    EDIT: I said anaphylactic shock from a normal dining service, but she didn’t sign a waiver to eat, she signed a waiver to watch goddamn Ms Marvel
