Good. Anyone caught wearing those in public should have them knocked the fuck off their faces...
I dont think this is deserving of violence, shouting "YO THIS PERVERT IS CREATING PORN OF ME ON HIS GLASSES" and making a big scene of it should be fun
And then the violence.
No the reason they are too scared to wear them is because of the threats of violence.
No threat. Promise.
"Wasn't he looking at your kids earlier?" to the biggest dad you find around.
Just kidding: be responsible! Punch the creep yourself!
Should revive the old term "glasshole"
I was at an event and the host was wearing them
In the context of “his job is a promoter and you’re at an event he’s promoting, and he’s not hiding that he’s recording” I was kind of okay with it.
But normally you’d have some side conversations with the guy and I felt really awkward with him wearing the glasses.
I felt their presence made the event worse. A video guy would have been fine by contrast, because there’s judgement and editorial reatraint.
Nope, I would have walked out. There are precious few pictures of me in this world (and the ones that exist are mostly celluloid) and my plan is to keep it that way as much as possible...
You might like my spouse
We were at a dinner event and they hired a drone operator to film it. So we’re sitting there, the musician is going on stage, and you hear brrrrrrrrrrrrr zrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr the whole fucking time as this drove flies around you. We had an edge seat next on a patio so we’re the front row for the drone…
She spent the entire evening flipping off that drone so the footage wouldn’t be usable.
They didn’t ask for consent or a waiver or notify you they were doing that. We had tickets to multiple nights (bought months in advance) and they did this at all of them. We actually thought it was some annoying kid trying to be a brat until I saw the drone guy talking to the staff at the end of the night.
Super obnoxious.
There are some legitimate use cases. I mean as a hard of hearing person I’d love to be able to live caption my daily life (the tech isn’t quite there yet but it’s close). We should be pressuring governments to require visual indicators that they’re recording instead of policing individual users.
Display glasses do that without the camera... You don't need a camera to transcribe voice to text...
But I get it...there can be...but in the end, Rule 34 applies and all technology will be used for sex.
Erm, ackshually, Rule 34 is “if it exists, there is porn of it”.
Which means somewhere, there’s pics OF sexy anthropomorphic meta glasses. Maybe not even anthropomorphic.
LOL, you sound like my son, he does that to me all the time..
You're probably right, but I said what I said. ;-)
