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 will never understand these sports people...
(Sits back to watch the Manjaro mutiny and the Systemd age verification drama)
In my experience, a situation like this would probably be in jest by someone the deceased knew and had a friendly disagreement about sports teams with.
Usually, when family or loved ones disagree about the team they support, it just leads to gentle ribbing. It's all in good fun.
Of course. The person who booed is probably someone extremely close, and booing was their final tribute to their friend, their last disagreement about the sport they loved together. I could see myself doing something like that for a friend.
It's really pretty great.
everything is sports just as much as everything is politics when you live in a world where people treat their own political faction as a sports team they root for rather than a sports team they are on
