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

MODERATORS
Americans use it differently, and there it essentially means “I’m a lawyer”, for all genders.
Yes, but that's tradition, not law
Actually, it's very rare for a lawyer to refer to themselves using that title. They'll refer to other lawyers using it, not themselves. Using it in a signature line is pretty suspect, instead of just "Attory at law".
I always annoy them by calling them doctor.
