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

I uh... Idk, I never thought Bezos was a genius or anything, but I figured he must've been at least moderately above average in intelligence for Amazon to take off initially like it did (I do realize that all the growth for the past 2 decades and more is unrelated to him, but the actual founding part of a startup is somewhat... dependent on the founders)
But I don't think it takes a particularly smart person to figure out that we can't handle 3 more orders of magnitude of humans consuming resources that are mostly available on planet Earth. Average person should definitely figure it out. And he owns a space company. How the fuck does he not realize how infeasible it is?
