If someone says they have nothing to hide, I ask if they also leave the door open when they use a public rest room.

Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Yeah or tell them you need to look at all of their emails and texts right now. Will also need to listen to recordings of every phone call they've ever made.
If they're in the USA they don't need to.
There's gaps all around the edges that a small child can fit through.
I try but they keep closing it
The right wing (small government? Don't look into things that aren't your business?) Would like to require genital checks before bathroom usage, but only for a certain "type"of person.
I like how this is a screenshot on Lemmy of a Tumblr reblog, which is screenshotting reddit.
Fax it, scan it, and shred it, and baby you got a stew going
It's not illegal to monitor someone's smart water meter as it's not encrypted. You can tell whenever they shower or go to the bathroom and then send them a log of their activity. It's not illegal
Do you have a hobby of collecting restraining orders?
You can't get a restraining order unless the person threatens you. It's also not stalking under my states law.
Incredible way to reply “sus”.
Wondered where that was from:
In Transformers: Age of Extinction, a 20 year old man shows the father of a 17 year old girl a laminated card of a Texas State law to justify him being in a sexual relationship with the 17 year old girl. This actually happens in the movie.
Always wondered what stalking actually was - I mean paparazzi seem legally well protected.
A new (June 2023) US Supreme Court “standard essentially brushes a street protester with the same stroke as a persistent obsessive who subjects someone to intense and long-term technologically enabled abuse”. Oof.
Creepy and stalkery, though.
Do it to your local council so they know how it feels.
I'm not sure this is true... That's like saying it's OK to enter someone else's house because they accidentally left the door open. Just because it isn't encrypted doesn't mean it's meant for you to listen to.
Edit: I was under the impression that most smart meters used 4G (at least in the US)... Pretty sure it's illegal to listen to cell communications.
Until I start getting paid for my data being used for profit of others then my privacy is a form of self value preservation.
And I'll look out my blinds at you if I want.
I'll take photos, say hi sometimes and wish you a good day. Welcome to a planet full of living creatures.
Watching people on the street in public is very different to staring into someone's house -- their private residence.
Or would you be happy with someone standing in front of your house, taking pictures of everything you do in your front room?
If you saw someone doing that, wouldn't you be tempted to close the blinds?
um, "free rein".
No, no, he had it right the first time: the sorts of people who want to look in your windows really do want to reign, like an autocrat.
.
(I'm just riffing off your comment to make a point. I don't actually think the person was that clever and agree it was a typo.)
I thought it was "free reign" but reign as in the way you reign a horse -- you give your horse "free reign" to do as it wishes.
EDIT : huh. Turns out I am right, but you "rein" a horse not "reign". Derp!
That's still rein.
(grin) Yeah -- I realised that after I wrote it.
As unbelievable as it sounds I had only ever heard it said -- I'd never seen it written down. (Or if I have I don't remember seeing it written down -- must have been twenty, thirty years ago.) I am not a horse person, so I don't deal with vocab relating to horses all that often.
Just one of those things I guess.
Don't be too hard on yourself. English spelling is not exactly cooperative.
I thought it was free rain, like the water falling from the sky.
Nah, it's a fetish. Don't be kink-shaming now!
The difference between a kink and a crime is consent.
Well now you're just complicating things. But it's ok, that's a kink too.
So you're saying that Avril Lavigne's breakthrough hit was about kink shaming? 🤔
Oh yeah. Definitely. Gotta follow your kinks or you'll miss out on one of the better things life has to offer.
Wait..you're saying that her kink is kink shaming? This is getting awfully complicated..
No, no. It's even more complicated than that. Her kink is kink shaming kink shaming...
Kinky!
I love this clipping. I can't use it since it's got a comma splice, and I can't promote that.
I have neighbors who I swear want passersby to look. Every window is open, the front door is left open and every light is on in the house.
Everyone needs that neighborhood watch lady that knows what the fuck is up on the street though.
Pretty sure surveillance grandmas are meme everywhere in eastern Europe lol. Crews of like 3-4 old birds on stoops yelling at kids to quit stealing shit.
When I was a young adult we started getting concerned about the number of cameras popping up everywhere. Then some news story ran that said an average person is filmed around 20 times throughout the course of their day. We all found that to be horrifying. Now that number is probably several thousand times per day, and people do not fucking care. It doesn't make sense to me. I care, but I'm made to feel like a weirdo if I ever say that.
CCTV cameras have somewhat of a different connotation though. They are in a public space, no one's pointing a camera into your front room, they are looking at streets and roads.
I used to actually watch CCTV as a job (stupidly boring) trust me no one looks at that footage. They just have an algorithm that pulls up anything it deems relevant, and possibly AI now, then a human looks at that relevant 30 seconds of footage or whatever. Unless the monitoring systems flag something up, there is virtually zero chance anyone is going to have a look at it.
In theory I could have used the cameras to watch a single person but in practice there are monitoring logs someone would have noticed what I was doing and called me out on it. Besides we were all far too busy watching the crows staring into the camera lens.
Ask Edward Snowden about the criminal penalties for voyarism.
Just flat out ask them to take off all of their clothes, you can't lose.
Either they start to backtrack and realize that they do actually have boundaries, or things are about to get sexy. Either way, big win.
