People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. You can replace the addres of .x.com to xcancel.com in the address. https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement (see rule 6)

MODERATORS
That uniquely "American" trait is just called optimism by people who don't fixate on a mythical monoculture.
But Americans are, like, really optimistic.
Most Americans haven't read Candide these days. It used to be much more popular
This is not optimism. It's more irreverence. Which is honestly something we need more of these days. Everyone's so goddamn serious.
