“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.”
“A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF’s investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online.”
Sometimes I have a hard time deciding who I despise more, parasite Mark Zuckerberg or its witless hosts who keep using its products—yes, Zuck’s pronoun is it. Ban Ray-Ban, for frick’s sake.
We are absolutely free from prejudices, aren’t we?
And clichés?
Say, isn’t it a woman there in the picture, wearing these glasses? Oh, surely it is just because we always need a women for the title picture, don’t we? Still no cliches, I am sure.
Sincerely, if you can’t see that the trends of behaviours like this in men outpace women significantly, you have a heavily skewed view of the realities here.
There are other phenomena too that uniquely affect men, such as violence towards a spouse when the man’s team loses a sports game.
There is no equivalent for women at that scale. We as men have to own these realities.
I’ve never understood why so many people are so goddamn obsessed with sports teams*. Even highly educated otherwise bright people. I enjoy playing soccer, or many other sports, but I don’t care in the slightest which team wins or loses in these big competitions. Though, as a former LoL player I watched tournaments too and had a preference for underdogs, and competed myself in a CS 1.6 clan, but at the end of the day sportsmanship and witnessing satisfying gameplay is what mattered the most, regardless of which team.
*The folly of pride
Even for computer games, I hear stories of men smashing things up when they lose a game or have a certain interaction with another player. There’s an impotent rage lying in wait in many of us, and no man wants to confront their own sense of impotence.
Those probably destroy things in rage at more occasions than just games.
Why wouldn’t I? It’s a whole different question.
No, the guys who are beating up their wives have to own it. It’s got fuck all to do with me as a non wife beater.
And therein lies your problem. You’ve taken something which seriously affects women at large, and reduced it down to something about yourself.
Empathy can be learned (it’s in us already, just needs unimpeded space). It’s a higher-order form of intelligence that helps us understand the connections between things that are not mechanical, but rather living: each other.
Pretty sure that’s a man in the image.
Finally someone who can see ;-)
