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 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.
  7. 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

I know this is supposed to be a funny, but they are actually doing this kind of thing with their ebike delivery service. No license required, but supposedly must be 18.

So if you've lost your license because of multiple drunk driving convictions, amazon has a job for you.

Bike courrier would be such a great job. Not for such an evil company, obviously, but in general I'd love that job.

A friend of mine worked as a bike courier and constantly had to deal with drivers trying to run him off the road. He eventually got hit, and broke his leg. It all sounded pretty miserable, but this was also before e-bikes so maybe it’s easier now.

Wow, that's crazy. I wonder what number to call about those jobs. Just idle curiosity.

https://www.amazon.jobs/en/

keywords like "Bike," "EBiker," "Cycler," or "Delivery Associate."

The Ebike is only used in dense urban areas.

Be advised, amazon's reputation is horrible. They really brutalize their employees.

Well they did put up some orange cones, so nobody would set on him.

I know, I worked there for almost a decade.
