this is really creative, using OpenAI bowdlerism as a service. that said i encourage people to both stand by things theyve said in the past and to consider future vibe shifts when saying something in the present public record
- kennywinker 4y ago> that said i encourage people to both stand by things theyve said in the past I gotta say, I think this is really bad advice. I've said some really dumb things in my life, and if I "stood by" them I would have prevented myself from growing past those ideas enough to realize how dumb they were. If, on reflection, you genuinely believe something that risks some "cancel"-like consequences, then by all means stand by it if that feels right. But if you have believed something, but have doubts now: reflect, re-assess, and then apologize (if needed) and move on. Life should always have growth and learning.

It's pretty normal to change your mind or regret saying something regardless of what other people think.
