I love the Theory Wear merch so much, especially compared to other KZbinr merch because, even when I don’t like a piece enough to go and buy it, I can still see that a lot of care goes into creating it. I see a lot of other KZbinrs making merch that’s just a solid color T-shirt or hoodie with a small logo no bigger than a chest pocket on it. And it’s so disappointing compared to Theorist Merch with awesome designs, hoodies with thumb holes and the plastic aglets on the draw string, and features created because of community input. Nothing against those other KZbinrs, the Theorist Team just sets the bar WAY too high. Keep up the great work!

I heard that each Squid Game has a different theme with different challenges.

[@altrag3748]

To put the contract thing simply, contracts don't make things legal. They make them illegal. So with the hot wings example, rather than making the serving of hot wings legal (they always were legal), it's making the suing of the restaurant for damages illegal. And it can only protect the parties involved. So you can't sign saying "I won't sue the restaurant for giving me poison" because that isn't a matter of a lawsuit, it's a matter of the police enforcing a strict LAW. You could ask the police to sign saying "I won't arrest the restaurant owners for poisoning their customer", but they obviously won't sign that.

[@chongjunxiang3002]

In short, contract can only work as long as it is legal. But when law breaking activity is involved (ie murder will be involved), the contract will be void and the case will be supersede by criminal investigation.

quick question about the main character: he DID try to contact the authorities about the games, but the organisers managed to cover their tracks. he then helped a cop go undercover in that facility so he could get evidence of the games and come back to arrest everyone. granted the frontmaster has successfully covered his every track, but how would at least trying to get the authorities involved affect his sentence, should he go to court?

He then made the terms and conditions that we agree that he should give us all a 0 on our next assignment and that we all owe him a tenner. None of us questioned anything, didn’t read the terms and conditions, and he then had our passwords and also a contract wherein which we technically actually owed him £10 and a fail.

Law student here, literally just had my Int. Law exam, so this vid is kinda post-exam revision lol.

As in, would a game occurring on a newly created artificial island, claiming to be its own state, be committing an international crime in this case? It's not really genocide, slavery, piracy etc. It could be torture...but these people willingly engage. I just thought that part of the video to be making assumptions potentially, but I'm not sure.

And because of the stuff I stated before, it's probably somewhere around the levels of billions in US dollars. In the prizes themselves, to USD, that's actually about 1.2 billion.

Hey matpat I just found 2 ways you could possibly make squid game legal without being under any legal jurisdiction or law whatsoever, and it might work. 1st way: have the games take place in Antarctica where no country claims it so it might work. 2nd way: have the games take place in outer space where you are no longer a citizen in any country so that might also work. Maybe you can make a mini theory about this.

[@bitchiemichie]

I was actually hoping that during the segment discussing legal contracts you might touch on mckamey manor. It's not a death game scenario (to my knowledge you can quit at any time) but there's supposedly a cash prize and very real torture involved. It's been awhile since I've seen anything about it, but iirc there's a loophole concerning the contracts participants sign and the fact they don't charge an entrance fee.

A Nautical Mile is 1/60 of a degree of Latitude (N/S), as the distance between degrees Longitude (E/W) change as you travel further North/South, but Latitude is always constant. 1/60 of a degree is called a minute, and is calculated by dividing the circumference of the world at the equator by 360, then dividing that by 60, wherin the answer you get is 1852m (by closest approximation). This I learned in my 3 years of sea navigation and my 12 years as a naval navigational officer. Also, the "normal mile" or more commonly known as a staute mile was originally described as 5000 paces of a Roman soldier, which through the ages got standardised to 1600m.

[@JoshuaTraumMusic]

Workplace OHS laws would apply. An employer must take all reasonable steps to ensure the safety of their workers. Games, such as the tug of war round or squid game, require 50% of players to die. This isn’t a “risk of death” - like working on an oil rig - it’s a certainty.

[@SgtSupaman]

Jobs are legally required to minimize dangers. There are absolutely investigations with potential criminal charges when somebody dies on a job. The military (in America, at least) is something different, as it is held to the Uniform Code of Military Justice rather than civilian laws, but, even under somewhat different rules, deaths are investigated for any potential criminal activity involved.
