People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.

  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. 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.

My dad thought computers were important. He got me a VIC-20 soon as they came out, and that was $1,800 in today's money, not an amount he spent lightly.

Sure, obviously there were exceptions or we wouldn't have half the modern conveniences we do. My parents were very enthusiastic about computers, and my kids are each building their own desktops. I'm speaking in generalities.
