There's been a lot of failure to screenshot tweets lately. The last page is missing a lot of content.

Firefox will do it for you if you're using that. I don't know about Chrome.

Actually there are a lot of stupid, bigoted, angry Americans making terrible posts and it’s kind of absurd to assume that someone must be Russian because they’re “spreading divisiveness” by using basic right wing rhetoric that reflects the beliefs of a mainstream political party

When I was 8, someone spray painted a Vice Lords tag on a brick wall at my elementary school, and everyone freaked out that the Gangs were coming from Chicago. In one of the richest counties in Illinois. Of course it wasn't bored teenagers from the high school two blocks away, it's the Gangs!

The comrades will always want balaclavas for their cold weather operations. It's a shame the pussy hats were taken over by the TERFs tho, because I have a bunch of pink yarn that I don't know what to do with. Might buy some white and blue and make trans pride pussy hats.

I dunno, I think there's quite a difference between the two. I find helicopter people quite uplifting, but their tram counterparts seem just so set in their ways.

The Great Twist

Whole lot of people giving hot takes on the headline and not reading the article.

The article talks about how antiperspirant deodorant is popular because women are not allowed to ever sweat if they want to be attractive. Antiperspirants are made with aluminum which some claim causes health risks, though no legitimate study has concluded that. Deodorants are still trying to play on that fear regardless by advertising themselves as "natural" and always cost more for women's brands. That's the "Scam"

Quit getting outraged at misunderstood headlines, goons.

Sure. But it's also insane that people are getting mad that the headline misled them into making a kneejerk reaction without reading the content. Don't we frequently make fun of people for that in this very thread?

I don't think it's crazy that people think a bad headline is bad. If I see a bad headline, I'm not gonna give them clicks just to see if the article is actually good.

I mean, the whole IDEA is to get you mad, which is why it used a charged word to attract as many hot takes as possible, so people will share the link everywhere and maybe even click to go have slapfights in the comments. You don't even NEED to read the article, it may as well be just "BUTTS" over and over for a few paragraphs.

The point isn't "spread accurate information" the point is "drive Engagement so our advertisers are happy."
