A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

Same. Had a supplier unexpectedly close down. The company makes medical devices, and the design on some components was quite old. We're talking hand drawn designs, no CAD files. I got new sourcing for roughly 500 components. Long hours, saved the company from having any production stoppages. I busted my ass and kept the multi-million dollar per day revenue generation production line going. As a thank you for my efforts, I got some points equivalent to like $500 on a company incentive site where you can get gift cards and shitty TVs and household goods. Annual review came up. 2.5% raise. Fuck right off.

The moral of this story is clear: if you're given an opportunity to save the company, first ask yourself whether it would save you.

This sounds like a parody you’d see in fiction, but here we are.

I bet the poor souls who made that site were underpaid, too.

Cuck. Except the cuck gets a chair.

Maybe the company incentive site has them?

They cost $501.
