    Went to get glasses and made a big point of avoiding Ray Bands for taking Facebook money to make pervert glasses. Hoping it’s not the first time they’ve heard that.

    I do actually like the classic nerd look of their glasses, but yeah, fuck that.

      I had to get glasses for the first time, and the first ones i liked, just by looking at 1000 glasses and being completely lost were ray bens. I made an audible eew and kept looking. The lady was probably a bit confused

    This is still surveillance, just with audio instead of video.

    But this actually creates a new problem: wearers of pervert glasses have plausible deniability. “Are you filming me?” “Who, me? Oh no, these ones don’t have cameras. Trust me”.

    Great. Now I not only have to listen to other people in public talking on their phones but now talking to their glasses.

    It’s not even the glasses alone, it’s that it’s one more major part of the ENTIRE surveillance state that is growing around us. It is being sold to us as this great new future, but we are all very aware of what they really intend to do with it, which is enslave us in every way possible.

    They are denying it, of course, claiming that this will make our futures easier, and more fun, but we KNOW these people, and they are not interested in making our lives easier or more enjoyable. Just the opposite, in fact. They want us working every second of our miserable lives to increase their personal profits. To them, that’s ALL we are good for.

    To us, they have ALL the money and power. Let’s take that from them before they use it to kill everyone who resists them, because we all KNOW that’s what’s coming.
