If you’re in public in the US, consent doesn’t matter at all. We need to actively block surveillance, create our own privacy.

That petition is cute, but even if such a law was passed, it would be struck down.

Well you definitely don’t have any right to privacy in public in the US.

small dick countries gonna hate

I’m getting old reddit vibes, back before it turned to shit

It also depends on where and other context. If it is an old frail man or a woman being punched by a dude twice their size it absolutely can be. I also said it depended on the state and I said maybe. I’m not spreading false information.

It really depends on the state. Quite a few people have been killed by being sucker punched. So if you punch someone out of the blue they can say they feared for their life.

And breaking legs, the amount of force depends on the person. My daughter broke her own legs twice just by slipping on a stair a little. What if they’re carrying a retractable baton and when you punch them they hit you in the knee with it? Not unreasonable in a lot of the US.

I can’t speak to the laws in other nations but in the US it depends a lot on where they’re recording. If you’re just out on the street, it’s not only not a crime to record in public, it’s a protected right. So if you punch them they’d be solidly in their rights to mace you or break your legs, maybe even shoot you in many states. And then have you arrested and force you to pay for a new pair of glasses.

But if they were doing that shit on private property or somewhere worse like a restroom, give them the ol western bouncer treatment and send them flying out the door with a broken pair of glasses. I mean you could assault them out in public too, but there could be some unpleasant consequences.

I wish I could do better than my parents but that is out of the question. I grew up poor, we were middle class when I was in high school, and then my boomer dad started making good money right as I was graduating and moved out. I make less less than half of what he was making 35 years ago, not even adjusting for inflation. I have no retirement savings but maybe I’ll get a small inheritance if I manage to outlive them both and medical bills don’t burn through their funds. I’m expecting to work for 60 years.

I’m expecting 13-73.

Most of them in my area are about 25 feet / 8 meters up in the air.

Whatever you are, everyone has preferences. I’d prefer to be younger and more attractive but I’d also prefer that in a partner even though I’m not that myself. I love the vibes of older people but not many older people have taken good care of their bodies. I get it, it is difficult.

The average user won’t notice any difference.

You should have told your dad what she said so that he could leave her with no guilt. Or if he chose to stay it would show true character.

That’s a no for me. Although I do make a version of jambalaya with no seafood and extra spicy. I love the heat and the seasonings but I’ll pass on crawfish, shrimp and anything else that filters shit as a food source.

I see nothing wrong here.

I’m not into butt stuff and sometimes anal jokes get old, but this - take my upvote

Ok but they were selling shitty laptops with 4g of soldered RAM very recently. I also had to deal with a 64gb soldered SSD, that piece of shit wasn’t even that old, it was a Windows 11 PC . The torx still annoy me, but they’re a garbage company. Don’t even start on their printers.

It’s always torx. I don’t need them for anything else. And yeah I own a couple of torx bits but I have a really nice selection of Philips I keep right at hand. But like I said, that’s just one of many reasons.

I like to fix or upgrade people’s PCs here and there. I always tell people not to buy HP. There are 100 reasons, but one big one is they won’t just use regular fucking screws.
