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.

  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 an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

The little curly haired cousin that I remember being like two feet tall just bought his first house.

I don't even have a house, so unfair.

I have a childhood friend who legitimately inherited a house from a relative they didn't even know about. I admit to being kind of jealous but to their credit they admit its a totally unfair stroke of luck.

Finical stability and wealth is very luck based in the US.

I'd say it's pretty true in the rest of the world as well unfortunately. At least wealth.

True.

You enter the world and it’s the first roll of the dice.

At least in the US it's possible to get a re-roll of the luck dice. In places with a rigid caste system you're stuck.

You get a re-roll but with the same shit dice

Some people get handed 20 sided die with a 21 on each side, and some of us get handed a set -10 thru 10.

You get a reroll but we don’t all get the same dice.
