  • I did read your comments hence the term HYPERBOLE.

    How often do you see people saying ‘punch nazis’ around here? How often does it actually happen? Not as much as it should, but here you are saying ‘Oh my gosh this behavior is going to lead to a chain reaction of events that harms MARGINALIZED and DISABLED PEOPLE and there is NO OTHER way that this will play out. These glasses are INDISTINGUISHABLE from regular glasses, and if you punch them it will INEVITABLY lead to BLIND PEOPLE BEING ABUSED!’

    Hyperbole: figure of speech that uses deliberate, extreme exaggeration to emphasize a point, evoke strong emotions, or add humor - not meant to be taken seriously.

    I do not take this line of reasoning seriously, because it isn’t. It is very obvious when these cameras are pointed at you, and truth be told — I don’t think a blind person gets a pass for being a pair of cameras gathering data on whatever they happen to be looking at. In fact I would advise blind people stay away from these glasses, but who knows — maybe blind people are particularly selfish and don’t give a shit about contributing to a less safe world.

    I, for one, wasn’t thinking I’d punch them and smash their glasses. I was thinking I’d just shoot paintballs at their face. So you can go ahead and determine whether being punched in the face or have glass shattered into your eye by a paintball is worse.

    angry mobs to beat up innocents

    Great, you’ve completely made up a circumstance in your head.

    It takes one person to smash a pair of these glasses, not an angry mob. Nobody but you said anything about an angry mob, the circumstances are punch + smash the glasses into the ground.

    It’s always fucking hyperbole with people like you, meanwhile these fucking nazis are getting a free pass to fill the world with cameras. Kindly, fuck off.














  • Problem with your logic here is that physical discs haven’t been anything other than a key to unlock the exe you download for years. You aren’t getting anything off the disc, it is practically just a key. So what players are mad about is the illusion of control being ripped away, which I don’t really have any sympathy for.



  • I’m not sure how ‘motivating action’ factors in to the belief that the Democratic party can change. That the Democratic party is changing, especially when looking at the recent wins for the left.

    You’d need to help me understand what your point is. If your point is ‘Blue MAGA’ then I’d have to disagree, I have faith in men like Mamdani and young leftists to change the Democratic party.
