    That looks exactly like the kind of person I thought would wear these.

    Imma be real: the right thing to do is to punch anyone wearing these and smash them on the ground. Unless you want this to be the new normal…

      I agree but would like my xr glasses with no camera to be safe from the punching. They are just a dumb display to watch movies and play games when I travel.

      I have a pair of glasses that:

      • have built in dual 1080p displays
      • two low resolution (800x600 IIRC) IR cameras that are just barely enough for hand and finger tracking (no connected device has access to the camera feed, glasses have no viable onboard storage, recording is literally not possible)

      if you punch me in the face on that presumption, you can bet your ass I will go to the fullest extent of the law to have you prosecuted AND you’ll be paying for all the damages.

      But please do keep punching people who’ve done nothing to you. That’ll surely turn out well.

          Ah, so now we go straight to assault and battery if we dislike what someone else is wearing?

          Next time, make sure you wear a hat. Or don’t. Whichever you choose, I’ll be punching you in the face for the other.

            What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

          Why do you immediately jump to paedophilia? You do know not everyone is you, right?

          Also I guess prominently describing that the camera can’t be accessed kinda flew right over your head, didn’t it?

            Darling, you are responding to a mob, those things don’t think and have the reading comprehension of a starfish. And as usual, they don’t make a single, logical point, only stupid comments trying to chase for upvotes, without thinking of the valid uses that a device like yours can have.

            Don’t let the stupid wave wash you away.

      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).

          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.

                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.

                  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.

                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…

      The shitty thing is it’s hard not to give the fuckers money.

      Luxoticca owns most eyewear brands, optometrist offices, eyewear retailers, and even a ton of optical insurance providers. They control the frames, lenses, and more.

      Oakley used to be independent, but they actually stopped lenscrafters from providing lenses for them and bullied their suppliers until Oakley’s stock dropped enough to buy them out. They’re the reason frames that should cost $15 cost $900.

      They’re one of the clearest examples of a monopoly in the world, but we just fucking let it continue.

          It’s harder for people who go to the optometrist and get their glasses.

          The Luxoticca-owned insurance company makes them use the Luxoticca-owned optometrist that sells Luxoticca-owned frames with Luxoticca-owned lenses.

          Moat people don’t even know you can ask the optometrist for your prescription so you can go buy frames and lenses from Zenni or Coastal.

            Not sure where you’re located but I’m pretty sure providing the prescription automatically is standard almost everywhere after an eye exam.

            I’ve worn glasses for decades and have gotten annual exams in all parts of the world. Always got a printout of my prescription and never had to ask.

      I’m in the same boat my friend (ray-ban eye glasses), its a bummer as I prefer thick framed glasses. Mostly because I’m rather rough on them. Wire glasses won’t cut it for me…
