"We're disrupting the industry by ignoring safety standards that BIG GUBBERMINT puts upon us! Caveat Emptor!" "Also if the GOVERNMENT doesn't step in to fix our mess, we'll let you all know how bad they suck!" Jesus, you couldn't get more libertarian than that. Nothing short of filling Ron Paul's big dumb airship of contractually-purchased child slaves comes close to this.

But considering it came from the Americas in the early to mid 20th century and most people lean toward it being native American inspired. I definitely assumed it was a racial thing on natives. I didn't think of it much growing up but when some teachers said, "crisscross applesauce" instead you kinda figure it out as you get older.

Yeah that's not at all how it was taught to my elementary classes, I don't think they even once mentioned India and so any time "Indian" was used to describe something or someone, it referred entirely to indigenous Americans, usually as a vague monolith that appeared only in sanitized Thanksgiving stories or in Disney movies. We did mostly use criss-cross applesauce to describe the sitting position so that was good. Unfortunately that good was quickly undone when us kids learned what an "Indian burn" was and immediately inflicted it on each other.

Is this some loving regionalism where kids from x area of the country all learned it like this? It just comes across as childish language and is very jarring when reading a post clearly written by an adult. Why would you not use "cross-legged"? The "indian style" defender has logged on

wheatpuppy posted:So is that "I acknowledge this is so dangerous that when I inevitably die my heirs can't sue you" contract actually enforceable? Probably not. That kind of waver only works if the person having you sign it hasn't engaged in reckless behavior. So, for example, if I sold you a car modified to go fast with nitro and had you sign a waver that you knew the risks of suddenly going faster, that would probably work. But it might not if the modification was drunkenly welding two solid rocket boosters to the roof. You can have people wave some liability but it doesn't shield you from everything. This is going to get hashed out in court and given the CEO's public statements and Oceangate's behavior, they're going to get destroyed.

I genuinely hope everyone onboard gets out alive. Mainly because I want these hyper privileged fucks to remember the one time they went through literal hell, thinking that the world would probably react the same way when kids down a mine are rescued just to find out everyone has been dunking on them and laughing at their likely demise. While their kid went to a Blink-182 concert. Speaking of! His pinned tweet from May https://twitter.com/audioguy182/status/1656517533472792576 Her posts today https://twitter.com/craymusic/status/1671535581556527104 I bet stepdad wished he brought the kid along now.

That waiver would actually be totally enforceable as I understand it so long as the reckless behavior wasn’t intentional/malicious. But there is an exception in most courts that these contracts aren’t enforceable in cases of ‘ultra hazardous activity’ like say going to the bottom of the ocean in a tin can powered by a game genie Company definitely ain’t insured and the ceo is shrimp poo poo by now so gl gettin money tho
