I'm getting sick of having to explain to people that "i'Ve gOT noTHIng tO HiDE" is naive bullshit when this comes up
Doesn't always work, but I ask if they shit with the door open. If they say no, I argue they have nothing to hide, everyone shits
Thats a strong point to make.
It probably smashes through that mental barrier people have between 'pOliTicAl' discussions and their personal lives in the most aggressive way. In an illustrative sense.
I just don't have a reply when some actual degen replies with "yes."
Ask them if you can watch. Be very very creepily excited about it.
fwiw, personal privacy isn't the reason I close the door, it's consideration of others.
I distribute gas masks and ear protection
