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 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.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

My parents did the same thing. They said "dont worry when grandma sells her house we will use the money to help you with your deposit. Fastforward they sell the house and the money goes to them getting a deposit on a place and they say "dont worry" this will be passed down to you. Ok but ill be 60 years old then and it will be useless, im 30 it gives me the most benefit to have it now to start a family.

Oh well it is what it is.

Cue: When are you giving us grandchildren?

Mom, your new house is your grandchildren. Enjoy it, because I sure can't.

My father has that same retarded logic. “What? You don’t want my house when I die?” – “You fucking moron. I’m 30 and you’ll live another 20 years. I need a home now.”

If you take care of your health age 50 comes quicker than you know it and you will still appreciate that house very much.
