A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

That's my polite way of saying "what the fuck are you talking about?"

Or “what you’re asking may be illegal so I’m gonna mention that to you over the phone and not in documents that will come out in discovery“

That's why any of those quick calls are always followed up by a message that recaps the meeting/has action items.

Go ahead and discuss that item you don't want in discovery, I'm gonna note it just so I don't forget what the fuck we were talking about

I have a coworker that does this and they think it's keeping everything above board but instead they just create openings for opposing councils to second guess and cast doubt on internal processes.

Those kinds of calls are for making determinations and decisions, not airing concerns and greivances for the record.

People's note taking aren't always accurate and they aren't taken under oath. Even when there's nothing even closely illicit being discussed, it's not stenography. Best hope you can defend the veracity of your notes in a deposition or before a judge.

All assuming that's a feature of your job, of course. Otherwise it's probably entirely irrelevant.

I thought it was lingo for "could we meet and I watch you do the task?"

in my case, I almost always get asked this by people who don't understand 2+2=4 and need me to verbally tell them that 2+2=4 even though two messages in our chat history for the past two days laid out exactly how it is that 2+2=4

but every now and then it's from a competent person who actually doesn't want to waste my time
