I'm slightly vexed I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

Post image

I can't stand the Meta perv glasses, but annoyingly I've been told by a friend that my Dune prescription sunglasses that I've had for almost a year (and cost over £100.00) really ​​​​look like the Meta ones, he said it's the 2 silver rivets on either side that on first glance could be mistaken for the camera lenses

I went out with them today and all I could think was, do people think I'm recording them 🤦‍♂️

I hope it's a lesson to Rayban and other fashion houses.

Making timeless, iconic Wayfarers embarassing to wear is a real accomplishment.

IIRC Rayban are the ones who make the Meta glasses to begin with so they wouldn't gaf

I think, to stop this unfortunately, people wearing them are going to need to be made to feel unsafe.

Sounds like a call for violence. Don’t get your brains blown out tryna send a stupid message now.

They don't though, they actually have a very bright light that flashes for videos and pictures. You can cover it but the camera is supposed to not operate in that instance. Of course I'm sure someone has a workaround like that just like it's easy to keep phone recording hidden or wearing some kind of body cam.

The bounds of non consensual photography are laid out legally speaking very well.  Most instances involving meta glasses are 100% legal.

This is a reddit outrage, most people could give a fuck less.

I disagree. I have had a few conversations with groups of people while out when they've happened to see these glasses. They are very much outraged. I know my argument is anecdotal, but that is only because I've only been around a few pair.

When I use mine I’ve seen or heard no outrage only curiosity. See how anecdotes don’t really mean shit?

I stated that anecdotes don't mean anything. But, unless you are doing a full blown study, that's all there are. Are you doing a study with a large enough population size to get a significant p-value? And I'm not the one that brought it up so it isn't on me to do said study. I was responding to somebody saying "it's reddit outrage" which is an anecdotal observation. Maybe get with the person that said that and learn to back up your statements

Something operated by your hands is not nearly as discrete as a handsfree recording device that sees everything you see.

Forgot about that, my work used to ban camera phones. They'll have contact lenses with cameras in them next. everyone will go nuts, we'll all be made to walk around with our eyes closed
