Risky click of the day!
For the curious, it’s a link to a petition to ban these glasses. And while I absolutely hate these glasses and want legislation limiting them in at least some capacity, I don’t know that it will be successful - it is perfectly legal to photograph and record people in public (where there is “no expectation of privacy”).
The fact that there is no indication when they are in use is concerning, and something there should be laws around (although, thinking it through a bit more, there’s no indicator on, say, a cellphone). The petition mentions audio consent laws, which is another potential avenue for legislation, but not all states have two party consent (where everyone involved in a recorded conversation knows it’s being recorded).
In my humble opinion, as some dude writing a comment on the internet, is that the best chance for legislation would be around connecting personal data with the data recorded by the glasses. The scenario I’m thinking of is something like “hey slopbot, what are the names and addresses of everyone I’ve seen today”. It would then link the recording to other public images of you, which would likely provide a name, and then search those people finder sites and get all of that, as well as your previous addresses, family members, phone numbers, arrest history, and a list of fears.
I hate all of this

- Comment on What the fuck is going on with Iran and what will happen next? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think the Epstein Files are really all that important to anyone in any power.
On the contrary - I think if Iran released any of the blackmail on trump that supposedly exists, things would take a wild turn.
However, I do concede this is likely an optimistic view
- Comment on Aint never seen someone turn off their cellphone at the pump 3 weeks ago:
Mythbusters tested out cell phones starting fires while pumping gas, and it’s not a thing that happens with normal use.
The expert they had on the episode explained most fires that begin while pumping are from static discharge. It’s even more likely to happen if you get back into your car while the pump runs and then get back out when it’s done, as doing that can increase your static charge

You’re absolutely correct. What struck me was the juxtaposition of a line of parents picking up their kids and a truck that’s been modified to say “war” (or “raw” if you read it in a mirror)

- Comment on A lot of media depict the United States as being invaded by fascists from the outside. Nobody thought fascism will come from within until now. 5 months ago:
Sure, here is an entire article, with sources and expert analysis explaining how trump is a fascist. There are dozens more articles that come to the same conclusion.
Now let’s flip it - you claim, without evidence, that other politicians have said things more extreme than anything trump has said. Where is your proof? Suggesting people “Google the clips” is disingenuous, and suggesting it is true without proof boarders on stochastic terrorism. Why do you think fascism must include mass executions, as you indicated in your original comment?

You’re getting downvoted not because this is some hot take people disagree with, but because you’re objectively wrong.
