A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

If minimum wage went up and your pay didn't move at all, then you got shafted. Don't yell at me because you let your employer devalue your labor.

My point was: whenever we've seen areas increase their minimum wages, costs DON'T rise to match that increase. The increase in earnings of the people far outweigh any small increase in prices.

That is also my point,

Don't yell at me because you let your employer devalue your labor.

But really your point is 'I got mine'

Not for those that can read.

I argued for raising the minimum wage. You argued that it wouldn't even matter. You're the one shooting yourself in the foot here... And mad at me for having the AUDACITY to argue in your favor.

You need to get out of your own way and maybe stop attacking allies over imagined slights.
