T-Rex: Today if I say something stupid online, not ONLY does it stay around forever, but anyone could dig it up for the rest of my life and then some!!
T-Rex: This is a situation UNPRECEDENTED in history, yo!
T-Rex: Time was you could say something stupid at the local Serf Pub or whatever, and then just, like, move to a new town. If it was REALLY stupid - a new country! But you were never without a way to leave your past behind and start over, and I suggest we're not BUILT for a lifetime of accountability!!
Utahraptor: Hah hah hah, dude, what old post of yours did someone dig up??
T-Rex: NOTHING!
T-Rex: But if people NOT currently being shamed for old posts don't speak up now, who will be left when we're ALL shamed for old posts??
Utahraptor: You could always change your name.
T-Rex: FACIAL RECOGNITION TECH IS KILLING THAT TOO!!
T-Rex: What am I gonna do, change my name AND get an eyepatch and a disfiguring scar to fool face AIs? And, what, change my dialect? And lose a leg to stymie gait recognition? And -
T-Rex: And oh my god, I'm going to become a pirate to fight pervasive surveillance
