People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

- 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.

Mines too?!
The landmine is a purely defensive weapon, unlike a gun.
They're especially useful for defending against innocent civilians decades after the war ends.
It's cheap and effective against invaders, sometimes when you're in bind you need to use terrible tools
Depends on how you use the gun. But that's the thing about landmines, you "plant" them rather than "use" them, and pure fate alone is the arbiter of the mine's "use." Landmines kill indiscriminately, they don't care what team you're on, how old you are, if you're even a combatant at all or just a 6yo civilian child, but a gun at least requires a person to make the decision to act or not. It is for this reason that I contend while guns can be (not always are) used morally, landmines cannot, even when they do happen to find a "correct" target.
I just realized this isn't NCD...
Clearly you haven't been paying Fallout.
Just gonna slip this into your pocket...
