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

Tailgaters like that are the worst, especially if they have a clear path to pass you but just don't for some strange reason.
To deal with folks like that, I like to do what I call the reverse pass. I'll go into the left lane, slow down, and then drop back behind the tailgater. Then I'll happily let them be the pace car, letting them be the radar shield, matching whatever speed they choose to gun it to.
