Some companies have to enforce retention policies for business and/or legal reasons, which means they actually have to delete your data if they say they will.

Some sites only "soft" delete things because it's simply easier and cheaper.

Regardless, I can't reiterate what you said enough:

It’s why they say everything is permanent on the internet.

Nobody should ever once in their life assume that data they post online will be discarded, ever. Maybe it will, but never assume it will. Even if you run the server yourself and delete the data files on your server and send the hard disks into the sun, if the data was ever accessed, you should treat it as if it's been captured and retained somewhere.

If I select "All" it starts loading new content at the top and pushing everything else down, which is frustrating if you're just scrolling and trying to read post titles. It's also kinda cool that it loads new stuff in real time... just wish it were an option I could turn off.

She's certainly an intelligence threat.

It's like watching people drill holes in a sinking boat to let the water out.

Today in "Stunning Failures of Leadership".

It's amazing that he holds the title of "CEO" of a company I actually recognize.

His answers were scripted? They were terrible. My theory was that he could have scripted them ahead of time but instead he blew it off and winged it.

I mean I could have scripted better answers than that.
