What about naked Linux neighbor?

[–] [email protected] 57 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not technically naked. Wearing programmer socks.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

Ah yeah, forgot that we are on Lemmy hence, no windows allowed

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's a GNU+Linux neighbor /s

[–] [email protected] 36 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I always think, "I'll just go by the window really quick, I hope nobody sees." You're telling me someone always sees?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Some of us like what we see.

Maybe it’s because I grew up in a rural area with nobody nearby to look in my windows and moved to an urban area, but I absolutely can’t understand people who live in urban areas and keep their blinds open. You don’t want privacy? You’re OK with random people just looking and seeing your living space and you??

[–] [email protected] 34 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I live in a corner apartment with floor to ceiling windows. I leave the blinds open all the time because I just couldn't care less if people see what I'm up to. I'm in Seattle, nudity is legal here, and I already go around topless a lot in the summer heat. Doesn't bother me at all if someone sees me clipping my toenails naked or whatever mundane stuff I'm up to I'm just being human. Maybe if I were on the ground floor within full gawking distance I'd feel more like a spectacle but at least in this unit I'm just another person nobody's going to pay much attention to

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Same situation, but at times I chuckle at the thought of someone seeing the beyond weird shit on my screens. I should play more porn to bring the weirdness down.

But regardless, floor to ceiling windows (+ the view) did wonders for my mental health, far beyond expectations.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Yeah that’s basically my attitude. I’ve had my tits out on Main Street of a big city before, my window is inconvenient to pass by. Idgaf unless people stare

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago

Pretty much, yes. Not having sunlight and a sense of outside is depressing, and if you choose to try and peep on my wedding tackle, that's your decision.

I close them if something actually comes up, like a creepy neighbor or police presence.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Yep, totally fine with it. You look, who knows what you might see!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

I guess it's because I have nothing to hide and I'm not ashamed of my living space.

That and my desire to connect myself with the nature and world around me far exceeds my concern about what other people might think.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It’s a flex these days, the more wealthy people are the more likely they are to leave their blinds open on purpose.

Google it, I’m too lazy to but I read an article on it last week.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

I don't like sunlight and I'm a real stickler for boundaries, so yeah, all my windows are curtained.

I am probably the vampire of the neighborhood.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We found the naked window neighbor.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

You were doing jumping jacks in front of your window. Nice bounce btw.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The real reward was the genitals we saw along the way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Pure philosophical poetry.

But don't forget the one we dragged along the way, that stayed with us through thicc and thinn, all while taking a daily beating like a champ.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

oh no
it's me
i'm the naked window neighbor
i'm naked sitting on the edge of my bed right now after my shower. my bedroom window, right across from me, is open for fresh air.

look, it's my own bedroom. the breeze is really nice. maybe don't look in my windows? it's not like i'm trying to give anyone a show, it's just one of those things in life, like how guys all get naked together in a locker room without acknowledging it, or how airport security people fondle you angrily in ways not ordinarily permitted in polite society and nobody needs to bring it up after. you don't have to look, is what i'm saying. sorry if you can't help it. let's just move on!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Or we are naked neighbor buddies!!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you're afraid of being seen but you still like to walk naked in your own house just buy European curtains like most people in eastern Europe do. Those barely block any light so your room is bright but it's almost impossible to see what's inside the room. Similar curtains I found on eBay

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What curtains do people have in the US that this is called European curtains?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I may be wrong since I don't live in the US but when you say "curtains" people will think of those that completely block light. You'd use them for the theater room for example to watch movies on a projector during day. In eastern Europe however when you say curtains it can also mean those transparent ones. They even use different words for each type but both translate to curtains as far as I know.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm the naked neighbor but I've got that thing that makes windows only transparent from the inside during the day and I have blinds for the night because if my neighbor wants to see me naked they'll have to ask :3

Also like half of the neighborhood would see me and I live on the first floor so I rather not deal with weird people in my window, and I know there's some of that type :p

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Would it be less weird if I brought my own chair instead of standing around?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Nah just one is kinda awkward, invite some more people :3

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

¿Porque no los dos? Carajos! (opsi)

Why not both?
