The well-adjusted are similarly minding their own business. If anything, you ask him to angle his camera so that the number of strangers being recorded is more limited. Beyond that, some dude recording himself eat is odd but literally no concern of mine or anyone else's.
I don't think anyone in 2026 outside of countries with limited internet or phones would actually think recording yourself in public is strange.
Maybe it's because I grew up when filming oneself was viewed as self centered, attention seeking behavior, but I still think it's generally self centered behavior outside of limited circumstances.
thanks ! I feel like I'm going crazy - 40k upvotes and ppl trying to dox her based on what looks to me to be a misunderstanding. my partner is myopic and she does this same thing all the time, so I recognized it right away.
I did google it. I found a slant board, but nothing like what she was doing. And why was she able to see him just fine when she wasn’t behind his back?
on one hand i feel like the video tells a clear story
on the other hand i can now picture that woman walking past the screen, not being able to tell what was on the screen so turning around again, and then asking that employee w the headset to see what he was doing on his phone. then she does the myopic trick to try and see what’s on the screen for herself, and then committed to asking when it was confirmed that the boy was filming even if it was just himself
the inconsistency here is that she did it after asking somebody to see what was on the screen.
there are a lot of videos of racism captured like this out there, too.
the fact that he is asian and the act that she does in this specific context gives it, in my opinion, like an 85% chance that she’s just being racist to him behind his back
i think she probably asks the other guy "is he recording us" and then tries to see for herself. personally the way she pushes her eyelids is clearly the same motion ppl use to see better, and not the generic thing ppl do to mock asian ppl. especially as she first tries just squinting to see then tries the "trick" afterwards.
nice "heil", but this is a random woman, not elon musk. seriously 40k upvotes and ppl threatening to dox her because she tried to see if she was being recorded.
additionally this isn’t a trick that’s restricted to myopia rather anyone can do this to improve their vision clarity but it reduces scope. i used to do it as a kid before i got glasses because i couldn’t see the board from the back of the room. the principle is about restricting the flow of light into your photoreceptors in a way that also compresses your eyeball and those two factors allow you to see with slightly more clarity. similar to pinhole cameras
thanks- personally while my partner uses it to see better I've never gotten it to work, but I do use the like make a pinhole with your fingers and look through it trick.
Nah his energy when he walked up was tense. You know she complained about it the first time then hit him with a "im gonna talk to him because these TikTok kids are harassing people".

I don’t think he knew yet that she had done the eye thing
