And hey, that’s cool! Honestly, I wasn’t familiar with her before this, but streaming should be open for everyone so I’m happy she found a place on Twitch. I’m sad to think about what this might mean for her career as a Twitch streamer, though.

It is jarring and more than a little disturbing that we are now into full on ‘death to the Jews’ territory, and the fucking right-wing is like ‘yeah, that’s cool.’ Not even trying to dog whistle it, just throwing it right out there.

I think people are pissed because Twitch hasn’t responded to the incident. While the booth was Lenovo’s, it was Twitch’s conference.

It won’t.  Waivers are required but do not prevent lawsuits; I think at best, they help minimize the damage award.

Or maybe they shouldn't say foam pit when it's a foam puddle

Maybe tech companies should focus on actually promoting their tech in a way that doesn’t involve foam pits

Somehow, I don’t think a waiver is going to save them. Nor should it. Let the lawsuit begin. 

A false equivalence, in my opinion.

Have you ever noticed that credit cards seem to expire sooner than they used to, and now instead of getting a new one every 4-5 years it’s reissued every 2 years?

“Siri, what’s the difference between irreverence and a 2000 year history of oppression and slaughter (often at the hand of Catholics)?”

Can this asshole just crash and burn already? Like, seriously, he is a danger and needs to lose his influence.

There are some very messed up people out there. That they lept to those “jokes” is just disturbing.

Every conversation I’ve ever had with a lawyer about those waivers is that they’re basically worthless if you have a lawyer who’s at least minimally competent.

Depends on the language of the waivers, and there are things that a waiver cannot actually waive.

I hope they bleed them for all they’re worth. fuckers.

In Britain, the police would’ve been armed with extending batons, possibly tasers, wearing anti-stab vests and trained in de-escalation and non-lethal takedowns. It’s probably harder than you think to rush police from a distance and inflict a fatal stab wound on the person they’re talking to, when they’re already…

You think if he started attacking his wife with a butcher knife, the two policemen present wouldn’t have had a much better chance of stopping him before he killed her? Knives can kill people, sure, but they don’t do it as quickly and easily, and they leave a lot more time and opportunity for other people to be heroes.…

The presence of a gun in itself make the action more likely to happen. The presence of a gun multiply the chance of a woman being murdered by her spouse by 5. Part of it is mindset sure, a person more likely to kill their spouse is also more likely to have a gun, but part of it is that it doesn’t take the same mindset…

Just hope don't miscarry first.
