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

Everybody has ethics and professional standards until the checkbook comes out.
sadly true
a guy I know shared an anecdote recently of a customer yelling at them because military vehicles were out of commission due to them not having the part in stock. there is no other supplier for this part, and they are generally made to order with a lead time of months.
in that case, the company makes parts used in all sorts of machines all over the world, and the engineers aren't the ones selling the parts to militaries killing children. the specific part, however, was for a military vehicle. and somewhere in that chain, an engineer said yeah this is fine. multiple of them. along with many other people who thought it was fine to make and sell this product. and even though the guy I know held the personal opinion that it's a good thing those vehicles were out of commission and unable to help kill children, he didn't shut down the sale.
Haha this is me at work while I'm generating marketing slop to sell shit to people who don't want it
