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

Oh, knowing the US, tampon brands will just skyrocket in price because it's free unregulated money.

3 generations from now, Americans will travel overseas mindblown that tampons aren't $60 / 16 pack and along with things like insulin still being dirt cheap.

"Why's it so much cheaper here?!"

"Now, I know you're not gonna believe this so easily, but..."

Or they’ll make the cheapest ones possible and give those away and girls in school will get made fun of if they’re seen with them

Ah, building on the social tier anxiety. A classic.

I just don't have the knack of turning everything into a way to make money. I watch Mad Men like, "That would never fucking wor- oh... Ooooh, okay... Jeez... And they made a highly successful show about it. Fuck, they're good."
