Tangent, but I hate how the word "homely" in English means both:

  1. having a feeling of home; cozy and comfortable

And

  1. lacking in physical beauty or proportion

And then we have "homey". It's all so confusing.

Sarcasm can be a bitch sometimes. Overlook the Nimrod's strike, for example.

Definition two seems to be an American addition. I don't think it exists as a definition outside the US.

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
