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 once applied to the same position I was fired from. They let me go for refusing to return to office towards the tail end of COVID. Advertised the position as 100% remote, so I figured they'd come to their senses. Never heard from them. ๐Ÿคฃ

The people who sign the paychecks don't like having to admit that one of the peons was right.

I know. That position had a particularly obnoxious marketing person in a technical lead position. No idea how they ended up there.

Something tells me you're from the US. How is this legal?

I was in Canada at the time. Not sure what that changes.
