Public Service Announcement

Here's a word of advice for those who don't want their business to become everyone else's business: don't mention it on the internet.

And that, kids adults, is why we don't make best friends with teenagers.

. . . what

If I ever learned anything from having arguments with my sister online, it's that the internet is written in ink. Say anything and it's going to haunt you. (I still suffer from this very fact but I'm learning how to handle it.)

Though I am technically still a teenager. Harrumph on the remaining month and a half until I'm twenty?

I don't know how much you've been observing on Twitter (or noticing on eBay) lately... but this is all I'm going to say publicly on the matter.

And seriously, once something goes on the internet, it's eternal. Sometimes I wonder if digital archaeology is going to be A Thing in the future. Or something.

Sign me up for the digital archaelogy major, cos that is suddenly my dream job.

But yes, The internet is eternal. Even if you delete, some bitch took a screenshot somewhere...

Digital archaeology sounds pretty badass. It also sounds like some intense googlefu.

Yep. I can personally testify to knowing people who will screencap every moment that someone says something against them. (They've even screencapped anonymous things I've posted just to get at me.)
