Uh, shit. I'm glad my current employer doesn't read Facebook that closely. I explicitly told my feed not to buy from them six years ago. 

 

 

Yeah, if I were you, I might do a deep purge of your whole feed and only save the last year or two...

 

It's something I do every New Year - I delete all my prior year posts...figure I'd rather not be 60 and have some post when I was 20 get me fired/viral public scorn/etc...

 

Yes, yes, I know it's not fully deleted...but most social media "job checks" on people are done on the surface...and they won't look longer than that...

I deleted it, but now I feel morally compromised because it looks like I had good reason to feel that way at the time.

They truly made a website that tells you if a film has an alleged sexual predator involved in it.

Surely this is solid enough grounds to charge the Cleveland Browns with manslaughter

But maybe you don't have reason to feel that way now...especially if you work for them:).

 

I mean, you can always say "x was bad then, but has gotten better and I approve of x now"...but that nuance is usually lost when viral e-storms start...in fact, all nuance and reason is usually lost then, so it's better to just avoid them!:)

 

Heck, I'd encourage this site to purge everything except numbers posts yearly for the same reason...but I've seen that's not their concept...

The Great Gatsby is a good book. It's too short and a bit too cold to leave a lasting impact on me, but 'tis what it is. The Maze Runner on the other hand was pretty blah. The book is so choppy and goes from one plot point to the next without much transitioning. I might read Scorch Trials, but not until I read some other books. I just picked up The Disaster Artist, Ready Player One, and Catcher in the Rye, so I'll start one of them later. I want to read TDA the most yet am really eager to see if RPO is as bad as some of you (mostly @ReyReyBattery) say it is; this means I must start with CITR

Beyond the marsh flats and the natural canals lies the ocean and, a little farther down the coast, a derelict lighthouse."

I searched POTC on Rotten Apples to see if Depp would pop up there because he didn't for OE, and Bush Sr was in OST?????

Depp was accused of domestic violence and not sexual misconduct though.
