People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. 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

I had to break the poor news to my boomers too. They wanted Japanese made computers, not Chinese, and I was forced to wake them up.

This video was so eye-opening and I really applaud Dustin for presenting it so thoughtfully and in a way I hope everyone can appreciate, regardless of their political stance.

Thanks for sharing this. What's funny is he didn't even mention another reason why buying one higher quality item is better than dozens of cheap one: ressource usage and pollution.

So, wait, the chainmail isn't made in America? What's the fucking point?!?

Seems like a giant infomercial to me

It is, but also answers a lot of the complex questions allistics do not ponder.
