why worry if you have nothing left to lose

At your advanced age (Boomer, right?) and with the state of your life being what it is (Hulann has barely visited since you asked if he'd host a homeless), no job, friends abandoning you, hating the places you hang out, both online and irl, but in neither case having the intelligence or social network to help you find anything better, so yeah why worry? Sources say people broken down in the ditch of life tend not to think through the long term consequences of letting their inner demons take control.

For folks that are willing to learn (perhaps a bit younger) BC has had many discussions about youtube and javascript and about the pluses (and potential minuses) of using certain platforms to discuss certain topics with certain people. Most people here say stuff like NEVER trust Snapchat! implying that they do not trust users to behave virtuously out in the real world. You may think of your irl real world as being different to your online world, but more and more platforms are making cyber connections easier and easier to identify. To meet someone on Facebook or Snapchat is to make a real life connection, recorded in a data center somewhere. YouTube is the same. Every view is a real life connection. Your pattern of connections is just sitting there in a data center somewhere, easily recognizable for anyone who feels like looking you up. AI will bring ever better pattern recognition very soon. People who think they no longer have anything left to lose are some of the most dangerous people to themselves and others.
