I 10000% agree. You surround it with obvious foam you're making people assuming falling in it is safe, which leads people to assuming jumping in it would be safe (and honestly if that jump was unsafe than some falls would be.)
SOOOO
The real question is if there were waivers, "btw, it's only a bit of foam, we'll let you look at it, don't assume it's a lot more than foam over concrete". If there were then, well, such a case would be tough.

But I'm guessing this was just some "genius" person's idea of a gimmick for a show that is now immediately regretted, not fully thought-out and certainly not tested very hard...

There were other injuries, so waiver wasn't very clear apparently.

Someone was saying on Twitter that Twitchcon is offering to go 50/50 on the medical. Seems like a weak attempt to cut off a lawsuit if true.

I'm sure that sounds good if you're one of the people that got hurt, until you realize that the medical bills for a broken spine in two places, when her legs weren't working afterwards (temporary paralysis at the very least), will be absurdly expensive -- and Twitch almost definitely will lose a lawsuit.

For example, did they get an engineer to make that foam pit? Did they do any testing? Did they use industry standard dimensions? (6-8+ feet deep, apparently.) Did they go through an approved vendor?

Hint: No. No they did not.

Yeah, that really makes you wonder. FYI "you accept all injuries you receive from playing this game and don't hold us liable for any of 'em" isn't some magical get-out-of-jail-free card if you're running one of these events... you sure as fuck better make people realize where and how and why they might receive these injuries and you'd better not be seen as misleading.

Let's be honest, 99% of people don't read waivers. Twitch-tards are even less likely to read them

That's probably a joke referencing Twitch's new policy decision to make all partners have a 50/50 revenue split. Previously the big streamers used to get 70/30.

Waivers are like a Nomex fire suit. Sometimes they work, sometimes you end up looking like Niki Lauda.

Nick was talking on Locals about some YT lawyer named The Suprise Witness making a video about her voluntarily giving up being a lawyer because she was afraid her speaking out on certain issues would end up putting her bar license in jeopardy. This is something that I and most other people can probably sympathize with given the bullshit Nick has been put through by Lucas. In the video though she discussed how a lawyer named Jon Eardley was disciplined for trying to bring light to the Britney Spears conservatorship bullshit, but didn't go into much detail. Nick said that the story sounded weird and I agree, so I did some very cursory digging. Neither Westlaw nor Lexis were much help, but I was able to find a motion filed the State Bar of California in his disciplinary action and all their recommendations were granted by the Cali Supreme Court, so I'm going to assume it was mostly truthful.

Motion from the state bar of Cali regarding the disciplinary action brought again Jon Eardley in the Britney Spears matter.
According to this motion, Eardley:
1) filed for an ex parte stay of non-judicial foreclosure actions along with a delcaration in a matter in another case. He told the court that he had never previously applied to any judicial officer for relief on these matters, which was a lie. He also stated to the court he gave the opposing party notice of said actions, which wasnt true.
2) Stated that he was the attorney for Britney Spears in a motion to remove the case to federal court when he wasn't nor had ever been counsel for Britney Spears.
3) He repeatedly tried to pay with checks out of his client trust account when there wasn't enough money in it to pay for whatever he was wanting to pay for.
4) DEFAULTED in the disciplinary trial due to not showing up

TLDR; Eardley was a fucking idiot who did a bunch of unethical shit that is drilled into lawyers heads not to do, then didn't even show up to the trial date for his disciplinary action and got his license yanked for being a retard. Go figure

So with like a lot of stuff that allegedly involves speech, it was never about his speech at all, but further bad actions.

As @AnOminous likes to say, lawyers can get away with a lot of shit and not face any real disciplinary action, but the one that will fuck you with no lube is messing with client money.

Yup. This is shit that is hammered on in law school and in practice for a reason. Lawyers don't like to regulate the conduct of other lawyers very often, but when you're openly fucking with client accounts and lying to the court repeatedly about representing someone you know that you're not and about previously seeking judicial relief on a matter, you're not doing what a lawyer is supposed to do in regards to candor to the tribunal and will get bitchslapped.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Breaking your back in three from jumping into a foam pit you’ve been lead to believe is safe must be a terrifying experience. Landing like that only to realize you can’t properly move would be fucking scary.

 

[Dixieland Buckaroo]

Exactly. She tried to keep of the facade of the intellectual lawyer who must be serious at all times, as if lawyers aren't just real people who happen to have an education in niche field. In her attempt to appeal to everyone, she appeals to no one and seems like a milquetoast dunce with little to no principles or insight into the legal profession.

I believe she had been practicing, but not very long. A few years max

Bytes had some limited experience in maybe a couple of big firms (dc, Cali) before moving overseas with hubbie to Europe. Then she was working with a legal tech firm to train ai to do legal research. I think this overlapped with her YouTube career.

As for her simps ... Let's just say her makeup and ring light are doing a lot of the heavy lifting.

Sad, many such cases as the Seinfeld daywalker. I'm not going to go as far as to say she uses filters.

Sad to see her snake like this on Nick, but it is on brand for her.

And also, the absolute state of lolbertarians (like Rekieta) who think companies can do what they want, but then cry when internet daddy gets yeeted. I guess that's what worries me the most- the hypocrisy.

Not that Bytes or Hoeg are taking principled stances. Just convenient ones. Hence, snek.

Not saying he's not been hypocritical ever but I'd have to see the examples; I always see his "they get way too many exemptions from the government while censoring speech that they shouldn't be allowed to decide what speech they host, [and vice versa]" [the essence of the 230 debate.]
There isn't really more to be had. It's not a "lolbertarian" thing; Nick's always a solidly
"of course you can shout fire in a crowded theater. Is there a fire? Are you an actor on the stage and you're trying to display a fire to an audience?"
"Are you trying to troll? Are you trying to make a thing happen that isn't real? Are you just confused?"
[or explicitly criminally] "Are you [recklessly] trying to make people believe in a thing that isn't a real, that a dangerous thing is occurring that isn't occurring, and even cause a dangerous panic? Or even not recklessly, are you doing this maliciously? Do you know exactly what you are doing? Are you doing this actually expecting the harm from shouting that there is a fire?? Ya tryin' to get people killed?!"

Yeah Rekieta isn't a "Lol"bertarian, he's actually pretty good at the honest usage of the [current] law, far as I'm concerned.

That said, this whole shit also makes me think of

Lucas cant accomplish anything or keep himself relevant.
He is terminally online, sexless groomer with raccoon eyes which he hides with make up.
He can't even deplatform people properly
I can't wait when the troon tries to deplatform Tucker Carlson.

Reminder the Reason for this was when Nick stated he would have all pedos facing the wall. Lucas got pissy of course.

 

[I am the Lizard Queen]

I don't think Bytes and Hoeg are snakes, just cowards. They saw what happened to the farms, then Nick, and were afraid they'd be targeted. That's why their support was milquetoast at best. Nick praised Emily Baker on his locals stream for supporting him, privately. That says it all. You can't really get mad at the opportunists when you're the self-proclaimed grift king. Anyway, the market has spoken and Bytes chose poorly, again.

Nick said he wouldn't be doing superchats on YouTube anymore and I don't believe that for a second. He'll be back once those strikes expire. Rumble may be good to him now, but he can't grow his audience on their platform. It'll whither away while he makes pennies on the dollar.

 

[repentance]

That they didn't close the pit down after the first injury could be a real problem for them. I wonder what their event insurer has to say about that.

 

[Zombie Dealership]

Rackets making a comeback is great. It'll piss off all the right people and the man gets to keep the years of work he put into his channel which was all he really wanted out of it after the ban anyway. I hope he'll stick to his plan of using his YT to funnel people to Locals and Rumble and turn it into a clip channel but I won't be shocked if he goes back to what he was doing before. The first week of streams would rake in insane cash at the very least so I don't think anyone would blame him.

i promise you im not watching shit at 5 in the fucking morning

no clue who bouzy is

source?
I think I listen to 80% of his content and I'm 80% drunk so maybe I missed that --
but wut?
[he's literally always stated how much he loves YT superchats in that there's no other way he could ever have remotely the income....]
