People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. 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.

I know a millionaire who lived in a single wide trailer with two bedrooms for most of his life. Finally built a nice brick house in his 60s.

People like that are a rare breed. What did the guy do for a living?

He’s only recently started spending his money. He’ll be 70 in a couple months.

He spends it on vacations for his grandkids mostly.
