14·3 days agoThis, however, is not the case in many more densely populated areas that tend to be more blue. There are often long lines for few polling stations. In some places you really do need a plan to be able to vote, especially if you are balancing it with other responsibilities like work or childcare.
For anyone who hasn’t waited hours in line to vote - your democracy sounds nice, the rest of us have to work real hard to make sure our (often less impactful due to the EC).vote counts.

Yeah, I am well aware. The absolute fuckin morons we put in charge as humans can’t seem to figure out how not to fuck everything up.
Your mistake is thinking I don’t think invading a sovereign nation for trumped up reasons is wrong.

So … how mad at Putin does this make Russian gamers? Mad at all? Do they care?
1·9 days agoOk. Well, fair enough.
Given that you cannot point me at any text that supports your claims directly, though, I have to conclude that what I said above in my original comments holds and that you do not have a right to stop others from recording you in public.
Isn’t this illegal?
So I read through a good bit, and I could not find anytjing that actually gives you the protections you claimed your country offers.
Theree apprar to be limita about taking pictures of people in distress, injured or deceased and then sharing that.
There is a bit about taking a picture in a room specifically meant for privacy, which to me is akin to the bathrooms and changing rooms I was mentioning.
But I can’t find the language that gives the carve outs you say are there… I’m sorry, but if I missed it could you quote the relevant section you’re trying to share?
Sorry, but could you cite a specific law? I’m interested to see the differences in the EU vs. what we have here in the states.
I spent a little time trying to do my own legwork and there is stuff under GDPR but that excepts personal recordings. (Akin to the complications in the US where if you publish or profit from a video recorded in public it’s different and more complicated.)
So I am curious about how these protections are carved out and I can’t quite find the law(s) you are discussing without some help.
I’d be interested in hearing more about what law you’re referring to (or you could point me at a.similar example, I don’t need to know where you live). My understanding is that even in two-party consent states you can record in public as long as you aren’t recording conversations and/or the people being recorded have no expectation of privacy (no one should be recording anything in public bathrooms, changing rooms, etc. - you do have an expectation of privacy there even though you are in public, for instance.)
I don’t get that emotional about online stuff, but thanks for your concern.
Stay home. 🤷♂️ When you are in public, people can see you. You don’t get to tell me what I can and can’t look at or take a picture of. (Note that I said this was complicated, and this is where the complications start - I should be able to record you in public if I am not specifically monitoring or harassing you, or trying to obtain pictures of things under your clothes, for instance, which IS a violation of your privacy. But just walking around in public recording things? You can’t take my rights away just because you think you should have complete privacy even when out in public.)
In private you are correct. In public it is a lot more complicated.
51·12 days agoYou need a break. Go outside and look around. Breathe in the air, listen to the sounds. Trump can’t just magically take all that away from you.
Vote against him. Help get out the vote. Donate.
But live your life. Don’t let that asshole have so much space in your head. At least take a week off from politics or something to reset because as concerned as I am, you sound way too worried about stuff you can’t directly control.
Edit: I want to be clear that I think breaking people down mentally like this is part of Trump’s strategy. It’s terrifying and paralyzing. It’s not productive. I am not telling people we can ignore this, just to make sure we are not falling into the very traps they want. VOTE.
