"Filming strangers without their knowledge or consent and posting it online for millions to see."

Hi, I’m Crystal, a Senior Editor based in Los Angeles and creator of BuzzFeed’s “That Got Dark” newsletter.

"Balloon releases should be against the law. I’m sorry your loved one passed away, but the balloons you send into the sky do not go to heaven. You’re just littering and killing wildlife/sea life."

"The fact that one betta fish requires at least a 5-gallon tank is the reason I didn't get one as a pet in college... I'm so glad I researched that because I realized how horribly bettas are treated. And people don't care because they're fish."

"In 2004, when I started my filmmaking classes, I did some b-roll of a crowd outside of a metro station. My teacher told me you can't film people without their consent or knowledge. You either need to put a disclaimer somewhere or film their back or feet. I felt very bad about it.

Somehow, this is the new normal now. I was at IKEA the other day, and someone was just filming around, and I'm pretty sure my face was in there. It's upsetting."

"My cousin does this. Every day, she posts her kids just going about their regular day. Nobody cares. Give the kids some privacy."

"Yeah, my school suspended a kid because a person punched him. The puncher got suspended as well, but the kicker is that he didn't fight back."

"I recently lost my old medical coverage, and after looking at how expensive it would be to get another of my own, I just decided I can't afford it. It would cost more money than I'd make after all my other bills and needs are met. So for now, I just don't have insurance and hope that nothing bad happens. It's incredibly demoralizing and depressing."

"A doc told my wife that the pain she was having was 'her body's way of saying it wanted to have a baby.' Took a few more years and a specialist to diagnose that it was endo and prescribed quality of life improving medication."

"I went back to working overnights a week after giving birth because they said they wouldn't hold my job position for me longer than that. My PPD was so bad, and my breasts were engorged and leaking while I worked. They wouldn't allow me to pump or store the milk. I missed my baby so much that I would just stand and silently cry at the register. Luckily, my partner would sometimes bring the baby in when he was up in the middle of the night (we lived close by), and a couple of very kind coworkers would cover for me so I could nurse and be close to him."

"And they’re not ‘side hustles.’ They’re part-time jobs. You’re working two jobs."

"The Japanese have a term called 'karoshi' which offers incentives to widows from 'death by overwork.'"

"I finally found a can of peaches that didn't have added sugar or sweeteners in it. It cost $6.50. What the fuck is wrong with us?"

"And then companies say they are reducing waste but actually making more plastic to say that they are saving the planet."

"I had a coworker your age who one day bragged about being basically blind without glasses and how she'd drive drunk on the weekends. She never wore glasses or contacts.

In shock, I blurted out, 'Jesus you're gonna kill someone doing that.' Her only response was. 'Well I haven't so far,' before she turned her back to me. Somehow, I was the one in the wrong, though, and got some shitty looks from the others working with us."

"I embarrassingly fell victim to one of these iPhone games when I was in recovery for a major surgery. Spent hundreds. It’s one of my greatest shames, and I’ve majorly changed my habits because of it."
