@danyork I feel pity for the lost souls that have to take off their prescription meta ray bans at this shop, and are forced to blindstumble through the aisles trying to fingerguess what they're holding. "Errr... Excuse me, how much is this banana?" "Sir, this a sex shop not a grocery store."

@ovoao @danyork There are many places that do not allow any recording (any military place, cinemas...), and I do not feel at ease when in front of someone using them. I am sure many other people feel similar distress in front of a potentially always-on camera that sends data to Meta. If they decided to ignore other people's privacy and feelings when buying their only prescription lenses, why should I feel pity if they are kicked out of some places?

@ovoao @danyork I don't. I'm extremely near-sighted. Like, "dangerous to walk a residential sidewalk" without corrective lenses. My eyeglasses cost USD700+ *for the lenses* I struggle to gin up any sympathy for someone casually dropping USD1400 on a vanity-trifle like Meta glasses As for the accessibility and disability angle, if we're re-ordering society to accommodate corporate spying, we could just take a crack at being better to humans all around

@ovoao @danyork No, you don't feel pity. You wouldn't call these beings "lost", if you would. And ridicule them by painting the picture, they can't differentiate a banana from a dildo.
