Will do cavs, it's no biggie. I just find their posts funny more than anything else but maybe I'm missing something, idk.

Edit: I don't know who Zaslav is which probably makes a bit of a difference. I looked him up and he seems like a bit of a twat but I don't know the context anymore, probably should have just kept my mouth shut, lol.

you should always just post no matter how ill-informed you are. That’s my credo

Alcohol gives me that license, lol.

I guess I just read EMF's post like a "I love drinking, it got me off cigarettes!" type joke. I'm probably just a dumbass.

Edit: I also thought like the jacket thing was just a joke so whatevs. Maybe I have terrible forum literacy.

The photoshops and the jacket stuff is funny, no need to litigate that. Sometimes you gotta just lay low for a while, come back in a few months when the heat dies down, play some hits.

yeah it's all good. i had to post that last time b/c of ego about not wanting someone to think i was litigating over jake paul's drinks like it's unacceptable to joke that you like them. that quote was a contextual part of something else. it's over with. don't worry about it. logan's drinks

This is correct and i’ll take it to heart. I should take this app off my phone for a while because no one should ever be talking about me and if the people i find funniest here think i suck that’s a me problem.

Let's not, if a tweet gets deleted who cares, tweets are ephemeral. We can embed tweets it's silly to have a rule requiring a screenshot.

I used to be against it but I'm for it because Twitter is now a dog poo poo website and the embedding breaks all the time. Just take a screen shot of what you want to show us.

sometimes its funny to post a low follower twitter to lol at but most of the time its cringe and scraping the bottom of the barrel for content

While I agree it would be better for the sake of everyone's mental health to prohibited tweet posting, but I don't agree with banning it across the whole board. If we could at least have a quarantine zone then we can tell people to simply not visit that thread if they don't want to see it?

There are plenty of ways to post good tweets and/or post good with tweets, but posting rando account poo poo usually isn't it. For example if I want to link this dumb loving video that probably makes no sense to the folks not keeping up with ufc, all I have to do is link the tweet. https://twitter.com/MerabDvalishvil/status/1750951090269659556

i think the right solution is to ask the SA tech team to spend months developing a mirror for tweets so that they’ll never be lost to time

This rules. I have no idea of anything that has to do with UFC. Keep the tweets!

Some tweets are also videos and you can’t screenshot a whole video. Lord knows I’ve tried.

Trying to get people to stop posting tweets is a crusade that keeps on popping up but will never change how people post or gain traction with moderators/admins (except maybe on a thread by thread basis)

May as well try to end megathread/bookmark culture or close the hell thread
