How great. It is the "You can always tell" bias all over again. With the variety of VR glasses that are out there, good luck memorizing all of them, and feeling like you're playing Pokémon.
Just like with AI and trans people, a loud minority of irrational people turn to violence, instead of asking for proper legislation. (For the record, I think the legislation on Trans people should be to protect them, making gender affirming care become law, and ban things like hate speech and conversion therapy).
I agree. Punching glassholes sounds good in theory, but a lot of people are extremely stupid. Encouraging to do that, will practically lead to multiple blind people getting punched in the face, even if they are not even wearing VR glasses. I would rather have the pervert glasses wearing idiots walk around, than blind people having to not use their accessibility devices, or having to just stay away from public places in fear of being assaulted.
There has to be some better solution, be it just asking enthusiasticly "hey are those VR glasses? where did you get them?" or "excuse me, are you blind?", before punching, or some better legislation, or something. Something that does not lead to morons punching blind people regularly.
Thank you for actually getting the point. It is just like that transphobic panic about bathrooms, people pretend to come from a place of love and care, a "Won't someone think about the children" kind of stance, to justify battery, assault and harassment of anyone they suspect to be the target.
Honestly, mobs are beyond stupid and fail to even comprehend the fact that they can be wrong, but in their own echo chambers, where their own voices and support for their points gets amplified a lot, which leads to even further extremist thinking.
Trans people are definitely cool but everything else you said is dumb as fuck.
The genie is out of the bottle, and there is no way to put it back in. Instead of useless violence, things should be legislated and regulated.
Do I think those glasses are stupid, infringe the right to privacy of anyone around them and are being used for nefarious purposes? 100%.
Do I believe that committing indiscriminate violence on people one believes to be wearing meta glasses will make them disappear? Absolutely not.
But there is no way to have a logical conversation with someone who is foaming at the mouth. Especially when it involves topics such as AI and surveillance, that are so massively polarizing.
Historically violence has always been the answer.
Yes, but even then the success rate isn't great.
Luddite
People who say dumb simpleton shit like this don't know their own history.
*I may have misread that as sarcasm lol
Were you just born an asshat or did something make you this way? You were actively pro violence against glassholes earlier in the thread. So clearly you think it is the answer... as it has been to many problems throughout human history...
Would you shut the fuck up. Dork.
You are proving their point.
So funny, rage more. Now go have a meltdown or block me or something.
sorry, what's bait here? They're just being belligerent. That's not bait. Was what you posted bait? Why would you admit that?
I post common sense stuff, and a bit of bait. And admit it just to troll.
Yeah you're so mature and intelligent with your defense of tech bro douchebag glasses. Clearly I'm baiting you by standing by my initial statement and not giving your limpdick dipshittery any undue deference.
You can block ME you dork ass. Go lick a boot and quit wasting my time
Wow, with that level of reading comprehension, you're gonna get far in life, kid. Have I defended the glasses at any point? Hell no.
But as I said before, go touch grass, clean the foam out of your mouth and perhaps, get your blood pressure taken.
All I have been saying is that committing straight up assault on people for wearing those abomination glasses is stupid. But if you stan for violence so much, it won't be a surprise when you stop posting because you landed your ass in jail.
Rage forever, sweet cheeks.
I'm really surprised at the upvote / downvote ratio here.
You guys are clearly talking past each other , but only you are getting the downvotes.
You've both got valid points - and entirely unrelated to each other - but they are refusing to acknowledge.
It's because Ifera is taking an imaginary scenario seriously. "Get punched in the face" is a common american euphamism for "You're an asshole if you do this. But I'm not going to literally punch you in the face".
Yeah but - maybe he isn't American. Maybe he took you literally.
You are relying on implied context.
Personally, I don't see any valid point being made by the other person, other than agreeing with me about trans people needing protection and conversion therapy being fucked up.
Someone who's opening statement is promoting violence and acting like assaulting people on the street is an appropriate response to those glasses doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from me, so I just bait them a bit to kill some time.
I don't mind the down votes, anyone rational enough would see how escalating to assault is straight up insane. I already knew I wasn't going to convince the other person, so might as well have some fun, No?
Also, whatch this comment get down voted by the herd mentality and the people angry enough to keep coming back to continue down voting me, as well as going into my history just to downvote random older comments.
This comment section actually feels a bit like Reddit. I also was surprised about the upvote/downvote rate, especially regarding the insults of the "other" party.
Yeah, people here are unhinged when it comes to Linux, AI, renting and a few other topics, and lose all reading comprehension.
And the dogpiling is extreme. Lots of people here gladly get baited by bad faith posts seeking engagement, which is extra pointless here, where Karma isn't even a thing. But ultimately, not as shit as Reddit, so that's at least something.
