It's very important to you that the claims about racism and misogyni aren't true, correct? Why?

How big is this conspiracy of yours?

"Herpes on the genitalia" still doesn't mean type 2. We have no idea what type she has from the included information. Based on the number of infections of the different types simple statistics would say type 1 is more likely.

AFAIK that's not the same thing as "herpes on their genitalia" though. There are two kinds of the virus, type 1 and type 2. However, type 1 can infect the genital area and type 2 can (although it's not as common) infect the throat.

Receiving oral sex from someone with type 1 ("cold sores") can give you herpes on your genitalia. It's still type 1 though, and is thus not referred to as "genital herpes" since that's the name given to type 2. Since many herpes infections are asymptomatic a lot of people don't even know they're infected.

Confusing, yes.

This is one of those viral diseases that you're unable to avoid if you're going to have any kind of active sex life. Regular oral sex always carries the risk of transfer of "cold sores" (which pretty much everyone has, although some never really show any symptoms) to the genitals.

Why is it important for you to claim that the well documented racism and misogyni that started well before the show premiered didn't exist?

Yeah I think in this case the few noisy ones managed to create an atmosphere online early on where people assumed the series was bad and gave up on it - causing low numbers for the episodes that followed.

Could be - or, you know, all that documented racist misogyni.

Agree. Racist misogynists ruining the fun for everyone. As usual.

Example (not specifically about Rest but vape detectors in general):

Several things can trigger a false alarm, including aerosols from cleaning products, emissions from cooking stoves in kitchens, and vibrations.

Spray-on deo, hair spray, baby powder, perfume etc are all likely to create false positives yet the hotels just charge instantly from a single detection event.

charged $500 for vaping

Yeah I think this is where Rest's scam will come undone. While you could, in theory, claim you didn't know your sensors could make faulty detection from hairdryer use, claiming to accurately be able to detect vaping will not survive a technical inquiry.

In today's news: In the fight between correlation vs causation most people will still bet on correlation.
