The court’s rationale is that COVID-19 can be considered an occupational disease because it can be transmitted orally among individuals, including in the workplace. The court cited international instruments such as the ILO conventions and recommendations that support classifying COVID-19 as an occupational disease. The court emphasized that immediate exposure to the disease at the workplace or during work-related activities is sufficient to qualify it as an occupational disease. The court further held that there is no legal or conventional basis to restrict the classification of COVID-19 as an occupational disease to healthcare workers, as high rates of contagion through oral transmission make it clear that the disease can be associated with workplace exposure. The court also deemed it discriminatory and unconstitutional that Law No. 31025 considered COVID-19 as an occupational disease for healthcare workers only, as the risk of contagion extends to all types of workers, violating the principle of equality and non-discrimination established in the Peruvian Constitution. Consequently, the court orders the defendant company to pay 200,000 soles in compensation for moral and personal damages to the worker’s estate.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Time to get the labour unions to back this court decision internationally, not just Peru, and bring about a clean air revolution. If liberals and conservatives keep insist to "return to normal", then we need to update building codes, upgrade HVAC, mandate maximum CO2 limits and minimum air change rates (ACH) in every room, paid sick leaves, make respirators free for all, introduce far-ceiling UV-C lights and so on. WE CAN DO THIS!

I couldn't find it if it's been asked before, but what is a mule/mule kick?

A semiohazard is deleterious information that can be encoded into any stimulus. A tripwire is the medium that a semiohazard occupies, whether it’s a precise sight, sound, temperature sequence, or an injected thought. A mulekick is the effect of perceiving a hazard, ranging in severity from dizziness, to unconsciousness, to autoimmune response, to mind death. A mule can reproduce a predetermined semiohazard with its body. They are like walking bombs.

Whether a mule is immune to its own kick depends on how worthwhile their deployer deems the mule’s survival or reuse. Some mules are not immune, so when they detonate their semiohazard, they mulekick themselves and anyone who witnesses them. Some mules are immune for reasons I’ll describe, and they can be reused after detonation.

A mule can either be an organism (an animal/human, plant, microbe) or a seedlet (conscious artificial intelligence).

There are four methods to mitigating a semiohazard:

Having…

Fewer senses to perceive the semiohazard in the first place

More acidic whiterooms (mental immune system)

Slower clockspeed (cognition rate)

Fewer life systems vulnerable to mulekick (typically this means using a seedlet instead of a human since seedlets don’t have organs that can be shut off)

Seedlets are uniquely suited to deal in semiohazards. However, a human can don sensory cancellation apparel, be nootically subtracted (cognitively engineered before embryonic development) to have a slower clockspeed and potent whiteroom, have mulekick-vulnerable organs artifically replaced, and/or be born without certain senses at all (blind/deaf/anosmic/anaptic). These are called lightfooted soldiers since they don’t “trip wires.”

Slower clockspeed can only be created prenatally. It can either be fixed (clunky but consistent) or toggleable (finicky but versatile). Clockspeed can only be slowed, not quickened.

Some clockspeeds have an oscillating or randomized walk to disarm timing-based tripwires. In other words, the perceiver’s sense of time is warped, eliminating the threat of a hazard that needs to be perceived in exact sequence.

Having a slower rate at ingesting information allows a person’s whiteroom or accompanying mustard (a seedlet specialized in detecting/filtering semiohazards) to find and eliminate the hazard before it mulekicks the perceiver.

Lightfooted soldiers and semiotic disposal technicians can get away with preserving some of their senses when handling hazards. This is until the far future discovery of the theoretical universal silencer, or UNISILE, a semiohazard capable of killing organics and seedlets by targeting the anima, or measurable soul, via a minimally complex tripwire.

But they don’t have to worry about that right now.

Pvrging harm reduction masterpost (from someone who’s had severe bul1m14 for 3 years, and who wishes they’d gotten this advice)

I get asked a lot and see posts asking for “tips” around pvrging.

I absolutely do not condone it. It’s a horrendously dangerous, unpleasant, and addictive behavior, and often a slippery slope to full-swing bul1m14 (and trust me, that is not something you want, for the sake of your wallet and sanity).

However, I do acknowledge that that doesn’t get in the way of the urge to do it. It certainly didn’t for me. That’s not how 3ds work. Being told how dangerous and horrible something is often is just more enticing. I know people are going to try it regardless. And frankly, I’d much rather focus on tips to stay safe over just telling you “don’t do it” like a Christian parent preaching abstinence. Harm reduction is king, especially on a platform like 3dblr.

So, here is a list of things to help you stay safe.

1. I feel like I should reiterate this again- if you at all can, don’t start. It’s not the c4ls-be-gone magic spell it might seem to be. Starting is what ended my r3str1ct1v3 phase. I thought it’d just be a last resort for when I ate too much. Fast forward to now, it’s been 3 years since my first time and I consume a good 6k+ c4ls every single day, have g4ined a ton of w3ight, feel like shit all the time, have no control around food, am constantly broke, have done things that would make people gag, and have all the risk with no reward. Ultimately, you will not l0se w3ight with pvrging. It gets harder and less effective the longer you do it. While the “you can only get rid of 50%” you often hear is a myth, being bul1m1c destroys your control, and eating maintenance in addition to whatever c4ls you didn’t manage to pvrge will inevitably lead to w3ight gain over time. It simply isn’t worth it.

2. DO NOT USE FOREIGN OBJECTS. It is legitimately so dangerous. Massive choking hazard and generally terrible for your throat. If you can’t get a response with your fingers, don’t do it. I promise, getting rid of some chicken nuggets is not worth getting a plastic fork lodged down your throat and almost dying. (Yes, I am speaking from experience)

3. Some people are simply incapable of inducing v0m1t1ng. It’s more common than is talked about and is completely normal. Frankly, if you have urges to pvrge and find that you can’t do it, consider it a sign.

4. Do not brush your teeth directly after. This is because the bristles of your toothbrush will rub the acid into your enamel, increasing the chances of decay.

5. Baking soda is magic. Swish about a teaspoon with some water in your mouth to neutralize the acid. Swallowing some (significantly less- about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp) is also an easy remedy for acid reflux. Get checked and have your teeth cleaned at the dentist’s regularly- if damage starts occurring, you can catch and mitigate it early.

6. Maintain good dental health as much as you can. Continue to brush and floss regularly. Keep in mind, however, that you can’t avoid tooth decay forever. It’s inevitable with long-term pvrging.

7. One of the biggest risks is electrolyte deficiencies. You often hear of people dying from cardiac arrest. This is because thr0wing up depletes your potassium, which helps with muscle contraction. Your heart is a muscle. If it’s unable to contract, it will fail. After pvrging, replenish your electrolytes. Coconut water, Gatorade, pedialyte, anything that contains the nutrients you just got rid of.

8. Also remember to stay normally hydrated. Even just drinking water is better than nothing. pvrging dehydrates you.

9. DO NOT FLUSH. It’s one of the most dangerous games you can play.

10. Try and eat something safe after the fact, especially if you’re having symptoms of low blood sugar (shaking, dizziness, sweating, a rapid heartbeat). This can be easier said than done but it’s crucial to getting back to normal. Something easy on your stomach with some c4rbs is ideal- toast, rice cakes, crackers, etc.

11. Avoid hot showers or baths or exercising directly after. You will lose more water through sweating. Wash your hands and face- especially around your chin and mouth, pvrge-induced acne is a real thing- and rest for a while.

12. Warm drinks or cold foods like popsicles or ice cream are very soothing on the throat. Throat coat tea and hot chocolate are quite nice. The former may be best if your stomach isn’t feeling well.

13. You will bloat like crazy whenever you eat if you pvrge long term. It’s hell on your digestive tract in general. It’s one of my biggest struggles and pet peeves. Honestly, you can only really wait for it to go away. Remember that it will with time, and do something to distract yourself from it. Some things that in my experience have made it less severe are to eat at a reasonable pace, chew your food thoroughly, and sip drinks rather than chugging them.

14. L4x4t1v3s absolutely aren’t worth it. You don’t really get rid of anything and it’s a fast track to dependency and being horrifically constipated whenever you don’t use them. Stay away. If you must, opt for natural remedies like teas, fiber-rich foods, chia seeds, etc.

15. If you take medication, wait several hours before pvrging. It obviously won’t work if you just get rid of it.

Feel free to reblog this with any advice of your own. I hope this helps some of you; stay safe out there.
