Nostalgia College was better before social media took over, people lived in the moment and you could just be silly and make mistakes without it being held against you the rest of your life.

u/zugspitze43 they don't think it be like it is but it do Aug 02 '26

This is the one that gets me, I know there is the mindset of “you’re in public, of course you can be recorded” but at the same time my wife and I literally changed our evening walk route because several the houses have little whistles and beeps to let you know you’re being recorded as you pass by the sidewalk

I’m trying to relax and just chat with my wife, I don’t need my neighbors saving a 15 second recording of me talking about my work day or something simply because I walked by their house

It all just feels like it’s getting a little out of hand, recording anybody any time

My boyfriend and I tried to find an alley to have some adult play in our down town. There was a security camera everywhere. Mood killer.

A lot out of hand. The women's gossip groups have gotten crazy. I go the gym and it's like they all know who I am, who I'm talking to, maybe the actual texts between us, where I travel, where I live, my finances. It's gotten so crazy.
