You can apologize for making a stupid joke when you were 14, and you won't lose the ability to support yourself. People like Brendan Eich doubled down on being assholes, saying essentially that they would donate to campaigns to retroactively make gay marriage illegal again. Now he's a crypto grifter.

I've seen a story of a man losing his business because his daughter made a stupid joke.
You can bury your head in the sand and pretend this sort of damage isn't happening regularly, but the rest of us choose not to.

If you've seen it, you can point us to it instead of claiming the rest of us are burying our heads in the sand.
I raised my head up high and actively looked for the story by Googling "lost business daughter joke" and came up empty.

I said YOU are burying your head in the sand, I made no comment about others.
Stand on your own two feet.

I get that you said that. Did you get that I specifically searched for this case and came up empty? I am not intentionally hiding from this story. If it exists, show me.

Is this the search version of "pics or it didn't happen"?
What if yer dog gets mad at you yelling at the television and bites you, that was a consequence, right? so ha! I've totally proven how silly you are for thinking that you should be able to make a statement to yourself about muhammed without actors in the middle east calling for your death!

When people talk about consequences for saying stupid things, this is exactly what they're talking about. Embarrassment for saying completely assinine things, not losing your ability to support yourself because you made a stupid joke when you were 14.
If you can't understand the difference between the two, that's a you problem.
