    what about schizo people like me who wish to hide their identity so as to not be clobbered by AI facial recognition software?

      My sister said she loved not being told by random creepy dudes at the grocery store that she’d be prettier if she smiled more.

        i think most people prefer not being told to be happier.

        It’s like reverse psychology.

        They need something like Invisalign, but they make your teeth appear to be in terrible condition. So, when says that you can smile and scare the shit out of them.

      Remember that you’re not crazy for or alone in wanting that privacy. If I saw you shooting them out with a pellet gun then no, I didn’t.

        i mean, yes you did, i would give you a pellet gun as well. It’s just that we wouldn’t talk about it outside of telepathy.

        is it schizo? Objectively? No not really. As far as popular culture, am i schizo for not wanting to reveal my identity to anybody? Probably a little bit.

        I would argue it may be a violation of unreasonable search, but definitely a violation of our right to privacy (that we should have).

        unfortunately, yes, fortunately for me, and other people, i’m still correct in this regard.

        There’s nothing inherently wrong with wanting to obscure your identity, if there was the internet wouldn’t allow anonymity. People would be required to wear their government issued ID on their shirts. Etc.

        No kidding. While on the surface the bans are about medical masks, I’m sure there’s a surveillance motive as well.

          NYC has an explicit ban on masks that conceal identities, as of a while ago now, unless that’s been repealed somehow.

          It’s an idea, for sure.

        I genuinely, seriously doubt it. I imagine its to keep MAGAts happy while completely fucking them over socio-economically.
