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 bullying or 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. Archive.is is another way, but it's a less pleasant user experience.

Utilization at a low percentage on your cards is what increases your score. Keeping it below 10% gives you an excellent rating for that card. These card companies make money by skimming pennies off every transaction you make. Sure interest makes money but it makes it at a higher risk, they want low risk consistent income you keeping a low Utilization tells them that according to the risk profile. You can literally open a card never use it and keep it open and your score will go up over time from "on time payments" a higher total credit limit with low Utilization and a longer credit age as that card ages.
