Legit the only use case I'd have for glasses with a HUD is if it could give me closed captions in real time. I'd be sold.

Full agreement. Honestly it's not even that I really hate the glasses (though I do), but my bigger issue is making content of strangers with neither consent nor good reason. You should fear your camera will get broken for that.

I think that horse left the barn long ago. You can’t go 10 feet without being on camera. I’ve thought of having a body camera just cause of all the crazy shit you run into on the commute home

Yeah and I think it's time to start trying to get the horse back in the barn
