Lol that's the best kind of backfire though. You unlocked a monster. The quiet ones always come for your longest road, it's a known rule. Sounds like you created a real board game villain.

Remember how they used to say tar was the only way to go? @faith_shah88 is right to ask, because the prep work is everything now. My uncle's place from the 90s has a poured wall they just slapped tar on over the form oil. It's weeping like crazy. But the new stuff, the liquid applied membranes, they bond right to the concrete if you clean it right. It's like the difference between painting a greasy wall versus a clean one. That old tar just sits on top and cracks.

Reminds me of people who tell you to just ignore a barking dog. Works great until the dog is actually guarding something and decides to bite. I see it all the time with building complaints, where management says a tenant's issue is no big deal until a pipe bursts or the elevator stops for a week. Some people in charge just default to calling things a nuisance instead of looking at what's actually happening.

Wait, is skipping sanding REALLY that big of a deal? Shellac is pretty forgiving stuff.

Honestly, that's just the trade-off for a free service. They use that old data to make the platform work better for everyone, like suggesting friends or filtering content. Getting hung up on total deletion misses the point of how these networks function.
