The Internet Is Full Of Regret And Self-Delusion

"According to a survey, one in four of us have regretted posting something on a social media site, mainly because it was inappropriate or upset someone. Around 40 per cent of 2,000 polled said they used websites such as Twitter and Facebook to speak up on an issue they felt passionate about. Almost half believed that what they said had made a difference."

Everyone should know by now that in order to make a difference you have to open a Tumblr.

@roboloki if I had 10 minutes to edit my comments they'd all end up "Deleted by user".

Inappropriate? I'm not sure I understand what'd be inappropriate on the internet. Like, a really respectful and compassionate expression of ideas, maybe?

@SidAndFinancy With laptops you can update your sorry status while laying on your SOPA.
