    Usually I delete them immediately after posting while still drunk. There’s something about clicking post that makes me immediately feel self-cringe.

    If it’s offensive to somebody else and upsetting them, yep. Delete.

    If it’s only bad because it’s embarrassing to you, no. Own it.

    Only if I confessed to a crime or doxxed myself.

    Otherwise, I leave it. Nobody really cares, anyway. They’re not gonna remember you the next day and call you out like “hey weren’t you that guy that said Daffy Duck had leather-daddy energy and that you would die on that hill?”

    It’s fine.

    No because the regret is mostly from a slight tone difference that I noticed seconds after posting, others don’t care and if deleting keeps my name on it that just makes it look worse than it is.

    Basically the end of this clip by Gianni. EDIT: with the intro it does fit as me-to-also-me, if I cared a bit more

    end

    Hmm. It’s too late now to delete it… Now we just have to live with it.

    I leave em up bc it feels lame to immediately delete. But I might revisit and delete days later just to clean up my page, profile, whatever.

    I’d reread them sober, and then decide whether or not to keep them based on if they’d impact my future hiring prospects. If it’s just a bit silly that’s nbd

    The sober mind should always have authority over the non-sober mind and be able to overwrite it, no?

    Public introxication laws come to mind, I think the logic applies. It also explains some of my own thoughts. If the mind with authority puts the mind without authority in charge, what happens is on the mind with the authority.

      This is sort of like are you thinking with your brain or your cock. There’s usually a bad outcome when your penis over rules your sober brain.
