re: Have a Ring camera? You're helping expand a dystopian surveillance state.

Like anything, pros and cons. I feel the pros outweigh the cons. That said, I delivery things to homes and can tell you with certainty that at least 95% of homes I go to have one on their front door.

EDT- I mean a door bell cam in general, not necessarily an Amazon or other one specific brand.

Only if you've already linked your Ring account to your Amazon account.

held off years on getting one, based on surveillance state issues.


And this confirms that I will continue to hold off.

How easily people have given up most all of their privacy has been interesting to watch. A little sad, too.

I do not. I live in New Orleans so there really isn't a point to have them.

A normal thinking person would think there's twice the reason to have one if they lived in a crime ridden shithole like New Orleans. You have more car thieves and porch pirates than most other places.

You may opt out. You may even think you did. But no way in hell they actually let you. They’re spying on you and they’ll take your footage if they want it.

We have a fricking gigantic cinnamon black bear that wreaks havoc this time every year. My trash is pretty far from the house, fortunately.

His name is Jerry. I’ll see if one of the neighbors has him on cam.

He spread a bunch of baby shite diapers all over the road a couple years ago. That was fun.
