I want to use the Oakley ones to make a surefire suppressor comparison shooting a pile of shitty overgrown zucchini squash we have, going to pick up some now lol |

I left anyway because I said I would not share a table with someone like that. |

I told them if they wore them in my house they'd get slapped clean off their faces. With a handful of hot grease. |

Do you happen to work for flock? ------------- It's because the things record, and if you hitch them to your phone, they can even stream live recording out to the internet. The recording and the streaming and human behavior with that are exactly why I said that this is just like the obnoxious media of the 1980s ... though, if you think of it, they're actually worse, because if you don't know what they are, people can just walk up into any situation and treat it like something to be recorded and blasted to everyone everywhere for clicks and views. |

If I wanted to “violate boundaries” as you put it, it wouldn’t be with something that has a front facing indicator light lol That comparison looks exactly like intentional well poisoning, quacks like it, swims like it, and lays eggs like it. But if you want to pursue that route, see what internet connected phones with video cameras in them and always online has done to kid culture, how it's destroyed their ability to find places where they can learn to be themselves and not have to perform for the camera in everyone's pocket, and how they all seem to think on some level like actors putting on a show 24/7. It's so screwed up that the youngest generation is trying to reject it.

The whole world has collectively forgotten that selling out is bad, and now we all aspire to be papparazi and don't mind being gotcha-game journalists on the side. whatever comes next, I don't care to think of, the past had enough troubles already. |

WTF!!?!?!?! |

I was planning on using HSA funds for a prescription pair of the Oakleys with prizm Rx lenses for cycling and outdoor sports. Would be perfect with the integrated headphones. I scratched that idea when all the pervert stereotyping came out. YouTube review video suggestions have been replaced with reports on meta glass creeps. |
