People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

- 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.

ITT: figuring out that "trans-" means "across" by giving other words with same prefix. Yey etymology
“meta” also still means “across” in Greece
phérō meant “I carry”
metaphor: I carry across
they now use the term for “transportation in general”
here’s a modern truck in Greece for ΜΕΤΑΦΟΡΙΚΗ
in Greek, they use μεταφορική έννοια (metaforikí énnoia – literally “transportation sense”) to mean “metaphor”
Yo this is an incredibly cool looking truck though
I want one that transforms into a robot.
This is the crapsack universe, so it will, at best, turn into a GoBot.
Hey, Road Ranger was pretty cool.
I don't think it was true about Road Ranger, but a lot of GoBots just had their robot heads underneath the vehicle pointing towards the ground when they were in car mode and when I was a kid, I was always confused about how they could see anything but the road surface when they were driving around.
Run of the mill, is there anything in particular you fancy?
Not whom you asked but the way the windshield almost wraps around the front. Like the opposite of this ↓ sexy beast.
I think the color scheme is what caught my eye, but the row of fog lights and general styling are great. Comparing to trucks in US
I think this type specifically is referred to as eurotruck. I always thought the trucks with the large front looked away cooler, and more serviceable. You don't need to tilt the whole cabin forward 😄
Chemistry walking away without looking back as it slides into entgegen.
