Now I’m wondering what the context of the video was, and why they felt it was relevant to ask about.

It was a video of me in my university dorms, it wasn't anything illegal or violent. I'm not sure why they felt the need to ask, I wonder if they were just curious for context.

That's infuriating. I'm sorry you had to go through with that.

I kinda lucked out and learned my lesson about this stuff early on

I was trash-talking one group of internet people with another group, and the trash talk ended up getting indexed by Lycos or AltaVista. They called me out for being a dick, and I realized that I need to be really careful about what ends up attached to me online. (Also not to trash talk people behind their back..)
