Am i a gang member? No. So that leaves you and me in the same group, “fcked”. Anarchist is a merely a superfluous label. Even if our views didn’t 100% align perfectly, the same ills affect us both.
Unless you are interested in recruiting me in some gang. Errr are you?
not assuming a political flavor or gang/tribe membership
Wait a sec! Why wouldn’t socialism rely on privacy-invading surveillance? They’d even be more inclined even after getting caught and told no.
From govts POV, The People are not making sufficient efforts, to protect our own privacy so it’s not a problem.
Gov’t corps will do whatever they can get away with. We live under “Rule of Lawyerism”, not “Rule of law”.
Unfortunately we need to make efforts to protect ourselves rather than continue not protecting ourselves.
The State will never protect you nor does it represent you. We are just marks.
your Google account is old enough to go fight Europe’s wars
Meta is funded by govt. A Canadian company created the original tech. A UK bootlicking socialist country of yes men.
Most open source software coders form foundations hoping to attract gov’t funding.
So tell me again how socialism had nothing to do with why/how these glasses came into being.
You argued we don’t live in a socialist society. Which is a typical argument by those schooled about the fallacy of that capitalism exists.
Laid out what we actually live under without isms, besides indulging in using the term, lawyerism. You are trying to argue economics. As am i.
Usually neither side dares to describe reality and instead each side just repeats their favorite theory from public school textbooks. I just described what my lying eyes see.
I get satisfaction by designing complex systems and being tortured by static type checkers. So political pr0n, video games, or 2D chart p0rn does not do it for me. Don’t expect my motivations to be the same as those listed addictions. In a world covered in smartphone addicts, it’s really hard to imagine someone completely devoid of those addictions.
A rage addict is just someone suffering from a design flaw. I recognize they exist just like trees. A tree producing imperfect fruit does not bug me. The rage addict needs to become capable of weening themselves off the juice. I’m a white hatter. Exploiting system flaws is black hatter. Hope de-assembling nonsense arguments has been helpful.
At one time, thought feeding a rage addict would burn out their rage addiction by having them exhaust themselves. All about coming to the conclusion that it’s not worth the effort. But that assumes they can learn, want to learn, or want to adapt/change permanently.
Rage addicts need to recognize they are being played. Until then it’s just a broken record on a loop.
This works on any negative emotion. It takes heightened energy to sustain. So fight a war of attrition knowing you’ll exhaust your opponent.
Actually going to try that. But even then the fish is not designed to wrap the rice like a bag.
Moving a sushi and getting it into the mouth, with two sticks, without it breaking, consistently, is really a mystery.
I could coding anything. But sushi is challenging.
Any coder can decide what sounds are emitted from their phones. Simply edit out the line or turn off the audio output.
Welcome to a world that includes Linux. As justification of my actions, would argue these features of emitting sounds after every action is addictive and since i own the phone can choose what runs on it. The only sound want is from A/V calls. Govts ability to regulate everything is not unlimited and absolute.
Especially if there is a coder involved.
Sure the guy wears the glasses gets some utility out of the glasses otherwise he wouldn’t have one. The evidence collected can be resold back to the user, but ultimately it’s the user that finds value in them. The corporation is unlikely to find utility out of the footage which they cannot use without violating copyright laws.
I’m not arguing that these glasses do not contain spy tech, the issue with arguing that is, so does smartphones.
Then what do you call Ctrl+P to infinity? Capitalism?! It’s a centrally managed economy that chooses winners and losers. With a splash of lawyerism and highwaymen.
This is the problem with isms. Great in theory, but never what is actually going on.
In a black and white universe, everything looks either black or white. It’s a nice story we tell to deceive our children. Who then grow up and are supposed to be the adults in the room.
So tell me more about this socialism and capitalism. Or how we are the good guys. And how our brilliance is necessary for the continuation of the universe.
If you said white people, sure ok. But capitalism?! We’ve never experienced capitalism.
Before facebook even existed a Canadian company was producing contact lens which trsnsmitted light onto the retina to create virtual reality interfaces. They of course had glasses form product as well.
So discussing big ugly glasses is 30-40 year old tech.
Keep in mind, VR investment scam has been around forever. But ok tell me why this time is different.
If you are conservative. That means being ineffectual and whine alot but do nothing.
If these people had any intention at all to act to mitigate the situation their comments would look quite different:
Don’t want to bleed metadata so please switch the conversation in the future over to Simplex, not Matrix/Element and definitely not Signal. And if you suggest WhatsApp i’m never speaking to you again. To prevent censorship prefer a forum where the comments have a non-zero barrier to entry thus adding a real cost to spam or gestapo activities. And to avoid being taxed into extinction i ask clients to pay in Monero. You can see exchange methods off kycme.not
Instead we are subjected to paranoia commentary that always lacks any discussion of privacy knowhow. How to actual mitigate risks based on your risk profile. It’s so fucking obnoxious why do we have to take this nonsense seriously like it’ll ever lead anywhere except in a circle.
Professing to be conservative is as close to being nonexistent that i’m surprised to find out not talking with a Buddhist.
conservatives pfft that’s not even a thing. In the US, they don’t even have their own party. There is the MIC party and the good intention that end in grift party. Which is like MIC with benefits. Doing nothing but whining and calling it right is nonsense as we learned post-2009 as they keep the same narrative and didn’t adapt to changed realities. It was their Biden moment where all doubt was removed and became obvious to all they are completely full of shit.
Btw have consistently and publically voted for bitcoin since 2014. Not cuz price up price down cuz math. I use the term bitcoin so those not in the know recognize the term, i actually mean Monero.
Are you paid by the hour to post that comment on forums?
luigi never said that ;-)
Check your device it’s obviously been hijacked. Totally uncredible you would have written such a comment.
And you’re welcome
That’s guns vs no guns argument.
To which i say your fat ban spoons!
My comment is no less weak than yours.
Thank you.
Not everyone is forced to think from the one perspective, Uh she's hot so ... creep perv blah blah blah'. People thinking like this are doing so have the luxury of being in a safe place.
Made 2-3 other rollercoaster commentary in this thread. Hopefully entertaining. Presented passionate believable arguments for both perspectives.
For the point of showing both positions could have well reasoned credible arguments. Based solely on the evidence presented rather than possible hypothetical situations that might be applicable given hypothetical evidence we don’t have.
Let you in on thinking during this situation as struggled to assess the situation under duress, rather than in a court room. And why choose to react the way i did. Figured the reaction might come off as unbelievable or highly improbable. The entire situation is absurd.
Like with all the mixed reactions to all things that never happened in the article, can see how there could be a rainbow of reactions. Without the explanation there would be a sea of even more wild reactions. From the outset would rather nip those in the bud.
You are welcome to reach the conclusion you have. Although the two comments are mutually exclusive, pain is a theme in both. So that drew your attention. In some parallel universe where i’d be standing over this guy laughing while he’s kicking me while encouraging others to also laugh while disparaging them for having laughed. Gotta say your talent is being wasted here. Safe to say Netflix is hiring.
No worse. If they wanted to, structuring a well reasoned argument is challenging. Throwing out psyche bullshit np.
Then if ask, OK now structure an equally strong and passionate argument for an opposing view.
They’d just mentally be incapable. cuz that doesn’t fit into pattern of reactions from a rage addict.
Up to now have been strongly defending the guy. But fuck it this is a game. Now i’m her (watch as I get elected to office).
We, as a society, a long time ago have consciously chosen to put emphasis on people feelings and avoid behaviors that predictably lead to conflict, demonization, and/or demoralization of minority or disadvantaged groups. Although in other societies these behaviors are tolerated, here they are not. Outsiders projecting their ideals upon us can go fuck themselves and the application of laws that perpetuate the societies we purposefully and intentionally no longer want to be associated with as well as can ill afford. From just the evidence presented and nothing more, it’s plain to see this guy is targeting women on trains and it makes us uncomfortable and scared to ride the trains. The guy must be an out of towner cuz everyone here does not act this way. In Japan, there are separate cars for women. This change occurred from the harrassment culture that was perpetuated by manga anime and media. This change was instituted to make women in Japan feel safe again riding public transport and does not overly inconvenience men folk cuz it’s only enforced during rush hours.
Someone claiming they can do whatever they want cuz it’s a public space is not acceptable here and shouldn’t be. It breeds a confrontational society of self righteous warmongers that throws everyone but them into unsustainable unlivable lives. I’m surprised they don’t all live in tents due to unaffordable housing while we find housing from people who really no longer need it. I like a roof over my head thank you.
What the hell is a centralist within the context of OP’s topic? The folks just observing and doing nothing no laughing no photos? People who took car that day?
Is there such a thing as a centralist? That’s like saying, “somewhere on the line”. Whereas if you look at my comments i’m everywhere on the line. Trying to imagine how to advocate a centralist viewpoint but coming up with nothing.
