@annalise_webb @Caroleina2 @aarghpirates You seem the perfect tweep. Have a great day everyone.

@SmarterMaterial @Caroleina2 @aarghpirates Well, I’ve NEVER blocked anyone for a differing opinion so you’re absolutely preaching to the choir here.

DM’d someone to warn them their ENTIRE HOME ADDRESS was visible in a photo they posted ... aaand they blocked me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Grief hardens people, probably without them knowing. This is sad, not only in the environmental context.

It's #WorldRiversDay2020 unfortunately our rivers especially those passing through urban centers are heavily polluted with all kind of waste, they also have become conveyors of plastic to the lakes and oceans. We must do more to protect our rivers from pollution.

@annalise_webb @Caroleina2 @aarghpirates The point was getting hard blocked for a differing opinion still hurts, especially if there was no harm done whatsoever. And it is outside the borders one can draw.

@Caroleina2 @SmarterMaterial @aarghpirates Agreed, but could have got to the point without the endless questions

@cooten9009 @stukhan at what cost tho : /

@stukhan The waste is insane. My flatmate did the drops for a while- its a cash earner for some. The amt of flyers she recieved was far more than what she had to drop. But it does work. People get cognitive overload searching online. A lot of ppl hate being online. This reaches those ppl

Why do retailers still persist with this junk? There’s got to be a better way to advertise a pizza in 2020...

@annalise_webb @aarghpirates @Caroleina2 Only you would know the answer to this, right? Might be because everyone has a bad day every now and then? A soft block would see people part for a while, whereas a hard block can really impact on people's mental health.

@SmarterMaterial @aarghpirates @Caroleina2 Why would I block someone for a difference of opinion
