People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- 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.
- 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 felt so defeated when I went to pick up some medication last night which was $100 instead of $60 which it had been the previous month. I asked if there were any coupons available and the pharmacist said that was AFTER the coupon price. $100 for 15 pills.
I've been paying out of pocket for this med for years since my insurance company determined I had reached the "lifetime benefit limit" for that drug. I submitted an appeal earlier this year and was shut down. I've talked to my doctor about alternative drugs, and he said pretty much all the rest have significant side effects.
And after this week's elections, I'm sure it's only going to get worse over the next four (or more) years.
"Life time benefit limit for that drug" is some of the most dystopian shit I've ever heard.
"You pay us for this service, but it's time to die now."
What a shitshow. I'm sorry.
This is such bullshit.
