Not great.

Strangely, this sort of thinking used to be "common knowledge" / "common sense" back before everyone started self-publishing every detail of their private lives on world-wide public forums like Facebook and Twitter… Amusing side note; The "Grumpy Old Farts" back in the day where I grew up used to refer to "common sense" as "horse sense", and when asked why, they'd respond "Because every horse has it, even if every person don't!"
