New Netflix Show Insatiable Accused Of Being Fatphobic

1984 was my English Literature O Level novel!

It's scary to think how we are now monitored and manipulated and just how easily we have accepted what's "good for us". Freedom and privacy really doesn't exist any more.

Sadly, you get it.....

The difference between real life and the novel: We are the ones in control of the cameras and the trackers. We ended up giving it all up voluntarily. That's a twist that that even George Orwell didn't anticipate.

Not everyone gave it up voluntarily. We put cameras out side our buildings and inside. Because it is good for management and in case of emergency. we never asked employee for a permission to be recorded. And like everything is is a wi-fi so anyone can hack into it - If they are good and know whet they are doing.

I am being recorded also, but having to come i na middle of the night to an empty manufacturing facility to check the alarm - not knowing what or who to expect - yea.. 2 times of that and the cameras were going up.

I live in a very low crime area, but we and every one of our immediate neighbours have cameras or at least a Ring doorbell!

Almost every day someone will post that someone "suspicious", not having committed a crime, came near their house and will post video or stills.

Yesterday's potential burglar was a soccer mum with her two kids!!!! I'm thinking more like wrong address than a Fagin figure, but who knows? Her picture has now been blasted as a potential criminal to 30k people, even though the video shows she does nothing but ring the doorbell

I live in a very safe area as well, the big thing on our local message board is that pretty much any loud noise generates 92 " was that a gunshot" posts. I just remind myself that I'm lucky to be somewhere people can't tell the difference between a gunshot and a firework. Some people know the difference far too well!

Same here - have to be at least weekly posts on "gunshots?"

We are the only people in our neighbourhood who don't have guns and therefore don't threaten to shoot anyone that rings their doorbell (sucks to be a UPS man here!) To read Next Door you'd think we lived in an inner city ghetto, not a leafy suburb in the 5th richest county in the US!

So, this happened on our subdivision last night.

Feeling safe in your own home

Wow! Why I don't have a gun!

it crosses your mind did he do it on purpose?? Like the Olympic paralyzed guy who killed his wife and tried to say an accident.

He wasn't arrested, but I wouldn't trust him if I were the wife. They're frequent fliers with local PD, who knows what will happen. I think he should be charged - how do you not know it's your bloody wife????
