. . .flip it off very intentionally.

Heehee I'm kinda glad I'm not alone here. I walk my neighborhood and people install those STUPID cameras facing the sidewalk to catch EVERYONE walking by, that whistle at you, or say "you are being recorded!"

I give it the finger without looking at it basically as a reflex now. I've never even flipped someone off in traffic, I've been told I have the patience of a saint.

But surveillance capitalism and stupid paranoid suburbanites satisfying their nosy-neighbor compulsions is definitely a line.

We've got those stupid towers all over the place here too. Construction sites, parking lots.

Freaking absurd. I'm upset that it's the best crime deterrent they can come up with, because I suppose skulky fellows lurking around dark parking lots aren't preferable either.
