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. 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.
- 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

Even the legally blind know how to operate a checkout register. But for some reason most machines are radical redesigns that actively work against a lifetime of expectations. 'Juggle these dozen items between three locations while comprehensively reading arbitrary instructions' is absolutely asking a lot of people, especially if you want it done correctly and quickly.
That's before including hesitance where people have been betrayed. Even 'Pay now?' is reason to think, As opposed to what?, and take a second to look around the interface, because Oops, go back one step might summon an employee and lock you out.
