If it’s offensive to somebody else and upsetting them, yep. Delete.
If it’s only bad because it’s embarrassing to you, no. Own it.
Nah leave em up as a reminder you have an alcohol problem and need help
Is this a time-sensitive question, OP?
Usually I delete them immediately after posting while still drunk. There’s something about clicking post that makes me immediately feel self-cringe.
Nah I’m usually high af whenever I post anything, so I just let everything I post stand as a monumennt to high me.
Just add “in Minecraft”
I just don’t drink, it’s not helpful to anyone anyways
I mean buzzed is a more flexible word than drunk, applicable even for too much caffeine.
A high on caffeine does not make you less alert. Sleep deprivation might though
I mean state of mind, judgement, and especially impulse. That’s not to say caffeine has a huge effect there, but I could see it resulting in people posting things they may otherwise think 3 times about before moving on.
And another user mentioned ambien, so there are definitely more options.
That’s probably got more to do with the sugar high often associated. Chocolate, tea, cola, and more contain caffeine. I just have simple caffeine tablets on my desk.
Zolpidem* and others are not over the counter medications, at least not here. You need a prescription to get them, it’s kinda sad thinking how many people depend on medication to then run into situations like this.
*Ambien is just expensive Zolpidem with a brand name on it
I make separate comments either doubling down or making fun of myself
Get off social media. Problem solved.
Including lemmy?
If you use it as traditional social media, then yes, including Lemmy.
I try very hard not to post any personal information and I periodically delete my account, so I personally don’t care what anyone thinks about my posts.
Only if I confessed to a crime or doxxed myself.
Otherwise, I leave it. Nobody really cares, anyway. They’re not gonna remember you the next day and call you out like “hey weren’t you that guy that said Daffy Duck had leather-daddy energy and that you would die on that hill?”
It’s fine.
Hell no. I’m accountable for what I say, even when drunk. I don’t try to erase my past or hide.
No because the regret is mostly from a slight tone difference that I noticed seconds after posting, others don’t care and if deleting keeps my name on it that just makes it look worse than it is.
Basically the end of this clip by Gianni. EDIT: with the intro it does fit as me-to-also-me, if I cared a bit more
end
Hmm. It’s too late now to delete it… Now we just have to live with it.
Almost all of my Lemmy posts (except this one) have been done after a few beers. Sometimes I make a fool of myself by asking stupid questions, but I just own it and thank the responders for helping to set me straight. No sense in being embarrassed.
If it was something that could be seen by people I know irl, though, I would absolutely delete it.
I don’t drink anymore and never drank to excess, but I sure discovered that what they say about Ambien is true, because of the deep thoughts that I posted on Facebook in the throes of it. I learned to log out of my social media accounts and put my phone across the room. It’s not a joke.
The sober mind should always have authority over the non-sober mind and be able to overwrite it, no?
Public introxication laws come to mind, I think the logic applies. It also explains some of my own thoughts. If the mind with authority puts the mind without authority in charge, what happens is on the mind with the authority.
This is sort of like are you thinking with your brain or your cock. There’s usually a bad outcome when your penis over rules your sober brain.
