People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

- 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.

Tip from person with short legs: if someone is walking faster behind you, move to the side and slow down to let them pass at their speed. You're welcome fast walkers.
This only works if the other person has situational awareness.
Do people even walk around alone without something in ears nowadays?
Hi!
Hello friend!
Another, "listen to the world" person. Nice
Kind of. I do wear earplugs every now and then when I'm on bicycle because I don't like how loud the cars passing me can get. But otherwise I'm "rawdogging" moving around in the world.
Does a week's worth of dandruff and wax count?
I'm not gonna gatekeep! And I do have the same problems. Small monologue here: My grandmother who survived the 2nd world war, she always said I needed to wash my face and behind my ears. And I never took her seriously. Now that I'm a lot closer her her age when she said that I finally get it!
That rules out...nearly everyone
Yeah... Situational awareness kind of a requirement for short people.
You'd think hitting our heads would give tall people situational awareness but nope
I just stop and let them pass me, to be sure.
If we're walking together, can I give you a piggyback or something? It's death walking somewhere for a purpose and taking like 50% longer to get there because your friend/partner/whoever doesn't walk 6 km/h.
6 km/h should be default. 1 km/10 mins just makes estimating arrival times perfect (1.5 km is 15 mins). And it's not that fast even.
Edit: I've taken your inch and asked for a mile
ROFL! Just go ahead, save me a seat. My spouse and I can't go hiking with certain friends because not only are we slow, but we stop to admire little things like moss, mushrooms and bugs.
Oh that sounds lovely.
I will say, if you're walking for the purpose of walking (and not getting somewhere), I'm happy to stop to smell the roses
OMG your like a unicorn. I've only heard tales of your kind.
