      Once it’s on the internet, it’ll be there till the day you die.

      Unless it’s something you want to stay. Then it vanishes into the ether, and nobody seems to have it archived anywhere.

        It’s always sad. I read a bit about hobby gameboy game development and a few sites where stilll up, but a lot of links where dead. A few tools just disappeared with all download links dead.

          You’re saying that the native Americans were right, that photographs capture a part of your soul, and so when you die, the photographs die with you!

      Unless you actually want it scrubbed.

      I’m reminded every year on my Facebook memories of this fact when I posted the Donald Trump Oprah interview where he said he’d run as a Republican because they’re the dumbest voters and we had a long conversation about it in my feed, and the video is removed. And every instance of it is gone. And snopes has a fake fact check on it, claiming it was from a magazine and was false. And people have discussions about it being a Mandela effect thing.

      Except we quote it in our conversations on my old Facebook post.

      The internet is not a bastion of unfettered memory that cannot be manipulated. That whole thing shattered that illusion for me.

        Yes, of cause, everyone things it will be online forever, no need to save it. Well, in this case it would have been good.

      It’s also apparently a Halloween party photo but he did have removed forever from the Internet

      Celeb Halloween party. Honestly, it’s pretty dope if he was going for 80s punk(ish). We’re the same age and I would have worn that in '89 or so. (Except I was far too broke to sport a coat like that. Fried fries at McDonalds to get my motorcycle jacket, best I could do.)

        As someone who has worked fast food and currently works retail, there is no shame in that. Sometimes you gotta go through hell to get what you want. 🤜

          really the goal most people hope to achieve is to get the highest paying, most dignified job possible.

          The hard part is QUALIFYING for whatever job that is and as we all know, soooooo much work & effort & years & schooling goes into qualifying for any decent job.

          It’s often TOO much effort for most people in fact, which is why so many of us end up working low paying jobs, because we get to the point we simply need to survive so we’d rather have even just a little bit of money than none at all 😟

          So we settle for these entry level low-paying jobs and so many people get stuck there.

            Pretty much. I get it. I’m in the same boat. Currently looking for other work but I have sciatica and live in the middle of nowhere and most of the jobs around here are manual labor.

            I can do manual labor and really have very little problem with it; I just have to watch myself to make sure I don’t overdo it, and most companies seem to have a problem with that because so many out there don’t care. They just want higher production numbers, higher speed, faster results, and don’t give a shit about the people who genuinely work hard but just are slower than the average person.

            Sorry for the ramble. I’m still a little salty about that. (That’s a lie; I’m very salty about it. :/ )

    did he ever explain why he hates that photo so much? I think it’s kinda dapper with an attitude. Not entirely a bad photo.

      Probably because it looks like he only speaks in anime quotes and brings his plastic replica katana (“well ackchyually, it’s a tachi, as you can see because of the way…”) when going to the mall with his mom.
