I’d call it The Machine, and then we could all rage against it

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? 1 week 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

I’m not sure if it was touched on in this article, but the scammers convinced the guy (over a few hours on the phone) the driver was there to hurt him if he didn’t hand over the money.
I certainly don’t agree with his actions, but reducing the entire thing to racist violence is misguided and ignores everything that happened leading up to her death.

It’s a weird traffic pattern, but it’s essentially a separate street
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 4 months ago:
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)

I admire the commitment. We can meet at a Wawa and find a nearby hill where we can battle this out

The obvious question is Taylor ham or pork roll?

Italy has always been a bit odd - I remember a group of scientists were convicted of manslaughter because they didn’t predict an earthquake that killed a few hundred people.

I agree the question is a bit far fetched, at best - but that’s no reason to be mean
