Say, if I walk around with one of these COVID masks on my face, would I be able to consider myself safe from these?
Ah hell. My only pair of sunglasses is a 5 year old pair of raybans.
I’d better not get “pervert glasses” shouted at me.
I threw away my rayban frames spectacles for a transparent plastic one due to having people come up to me and trying to start something.
Wow. My country’s people are so damn hell ignorant that if I said someone was wearing glasses with cameras, they would think I’m paranoid.
How do we feel about ‘pedofocals’?
I was thinking RapeshadesEdit: actually this is even better
Fuck those glasses. But also, my brain can’t let go of the question of “How would I feel if I saw a woman wearing these?”. And honestly I’m not sure??? Like you could make an argument that at least they would deter creepy men?? Anyone got any thoughts on that?
Why would these deter creeps if all the existing surveillance measures and social pressure we already have is evidently ineffective? You’re talking about the sort of people that have no problem posting highly inappropriate comments on women’s instagram profiles under their own name.
And at the end this is still a Meta product, which is at least 50 percent of the problem with these glasses. It’s not just some private device, all that footage gets sucked into some big cloud to serve who knows what clandestine purpose.
Women can be creeps too. It’s less common but there are still plenty.
I’m never buying Ray Bans again. I don’t want to be associated, fuck Ray Bans for taking that cash.
The newest models aren’t associated with Ray Ban anymore. They’re still being made by Luxottica though. You have quite a few more brands you need to skip if you want to make a dent in them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxottica
What I told the guy at the optician last month. “Let’s skip the RayBan rack all together.”
I don’t want to look like a rapist. Are you telling me I have creepy rapist vibes?
also it has the stigma of Zuckerberg using his companies as datamining, spying, right wing peddling platforms. his name was enough to derail anything that comes out of meta.
Shame is a greatly underrated emotion.
The problem is that some people have adapted an immunity to it.
100%. I’ve been saying it for years that at the end of the day, the only punishment that actually works is the public shaming.
Bring back the public perp walks. March the criminal through the streets with a big banner announcing their crime, and then leave them them in a public cell in the middle of town for a few days with their name on it, their crime, and no privacy so that people can come and see them.
A few days of that will do more to cure recidivism than any jail you can name.
Except private prisons need the prisoners to get paid. They want the recidivism to continue.
Ah, the good old days when we could gather in a mob and throw turds at criminals in the town centre. Might work, actually.
And they should be.

Zuck is killing the whole industry. 😔
He finally did something good.
What bothers you about AR/AI glasses?
It’s nice to see no one learned anything from Google Glass. This is why we’re fucked as a species…
ive only seen it once it public and then never after that day. i think people got the message the moment articles came out about it. but Zuckerborg intends to push this out regardless.
I dealt with a couple that I was proud of.
The first time I saw them was an object I talked to on the train. It was the line that went to/from the airport, so you get a broader class mix. The conversation was nice at first, friendly, there were jokes. Then it showed me the glasses-it was already wearing actual glasses so it explained what they were and started talking about capacity of the charging case thing. They were still a very new thing, I was tired and not as aggressive as I should have been, so when it took them out and said what they were I just said ‘fuck you.’, put on my best scowl, and walked away. When it came up I reached into my purse and gave it my best cold ‘you want to get the fuck away from me.’. I left and switched cars at the next stop, and told people as I left that the guy at the other end is a glasshole as I left, in a way that was clearly just to them.
Who woulda’ thought suckerberg - the man responsible for running intelligence ops on billions of devices in broad daylight, would be outta touch with evolving cultural norms!
Now do billionaires, and we golden!
And politicians.
I just don’t understand why they even tried. Google already proved in 2013 that people think you’re an asshole for wearing things like this, even having the term “glasshole” come about.
I aaaume they tried to make them look stealthier so people can be creeps without looking like creeps
Same mental disorder, different CEO?
Backlash not strong enough imo but good news is good news.
