i bet ur typing this on a pervert phone right now. i hear ur pervert computer does the same thing but faster. we should ban computers. this is not an exaggeration.

mortgage prepayment penalty fees are reasonably common and happen if you pay too much on it too early

I don’t understand how these are fundamentally different from the phone cameras that everyone points at everyone else already. holding a phone up isn’t exactly conspicuous at this point.

schools should probably ban them for the case above, but schools should probably ban phones as well. in the US at least there’s so expectation of privacy anywhere public and smart glasses are a tiny fraction of the doorbell cameras, security cameras, etc that are everywhere

it feels like we’re approaching a circlejerk level of being against smart glasses in general, which do have a ton of interesting use cases that aren’t recording related (but still require a camera for position tracking etc). the “pervert glasses” position is intentionally obtuse

never done it, but afaik it’s just normal hard wood ash in a barrel that you pour soft (traditionally rain) water over and the lye leaches out
