The ability to tell the entire world what you feel or think is dizzying. 'How should I phrase this?' 'Do I include that?' 'Is this oversharing?' So many doubts are lurking around that share button.
But believe it or not, some people are immune to them. They post every thought that crosses their mind. And they can be anyone! Parents complaining about their kids, high schoolers "analyzing" political discourse, celebrities interacting with fans, or everyday folks venting about their lives; we can't keep count.
Here's a collection of tweets from people who decided to get personal online. Too personal!

The staff at CollegeGrad, an entry-level job site for college students and recent grads, believe there are at least 9 things you should never post on social media.
1. Profanity. The language you use on social media is often the same one you'll use when casually interacting with coworkers. A minor four-letter-word once in a while isn't a crime, but if swearing is a big part of who you are, it may affect how employers look at you.
2. Abusive content. Social media can be a great place to share opinions, but if your feed is full of arguments and rants, you may come across as an overly negative person, probably not the kind of employee companies want in their office.
3. Adult content. A snapshot on the beach is perfectly fine but posting explicit photos of yourself can have a noticeable impact on your image. The Internet is a public place. So, before posting a selfie, consider if you are OK with being seen like that in the office.

4. Illegal content. Not only could this get you fired, but it may also land you on America's Stupidest Criminals. Even worse, you could be arrested if authorities see credible evidence of certain kinds of illegal activity.
5. Offensive content. Racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination should have no place in your (online) life.
6. Negative opinions about your job, employer, boss, or professor. One comment about how you hate your job could cause future employers to wonder if you really like the work you are doing or not. And a comment about your "stupid boss" could make your next conversation about the raise you were hoping to get a lot more difficult.
7. Drug-related content. Some employers may require you to pass a drug test as a hiring condition. But chances are you won't even make it that far if you post about substances publicly.

Wait! You Guys Got A Tutorial?!
Yep,she's Right
8. Poor grammar. A comma here and there is nothing but if you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're", it's time to learn. Communication, including writing, is an important part of professional life.
9. Threats. It is not OK to threaten others, no matter the situation you're in. Wishing someone ill, whether it is a friend, family member, colleague, politician, celebrity, whatever; if you don't like someone else, social media is not the place to be hurling threats of any kind.
The Internet is public. Remember that when you're posting from your personal account.

And A Family That Takes Care Of Their Elders
I always thought that was the whole point of the Addamses: they don't conform to societal norms of what is acceptable but their relationships are ideal, unlike the rest of suburbia. Like being authentic breeds happiness.
Spot on - they are also supportive and make time for their kids, nurture good relations with their whole family (Granma, uncle Fester cousin IT etc). They're also good neighbours (in their eyes ;) always welcoming to guests ("welcome honoured guest") and they have a really tolerant attitude towards the strange ways of others.

And that Gomez doesn't mind having his mother in law living with them. I loved granny in the 60s series. She was my favourite granny next to granny from the Beverly Hillbillies. They had the best shows in those days. With the best theme tunes.
The Addams Family should be a role model of a healthy family. A loving couple, which doesn't resent each other. Lived with their elder family members and not sent them to a retirement house. And supporting their kids in their interests. They even accepted when their 3rd child has changed to a "normal" baby. Morticia even read a normal child book to him (Bambi I guess). They were perfect.
Grew up watching the movies (presented to me as "scary") and fell in love with them. In my 20s now and still watching them every year during the holidays, still hoping to have that kind of life one day. By the way, try the TV show from the 60s if you haven't seen it yet!

There used to be "The Journal of Polymorphous Perversity", a kind of "National Lampoon" for those involved with mental health and social sciences. I wish I'd followed through on my idea using the Addams Family in a case study, demonstrating that they are an exemplar of high-functioning families.
And their children are polite and respectful and helpful to each other.
and kids that are encouraged to pursue their interests, no matter how "bizarre"
Addams Family: Season 1 Episode 5, about 50-60 seconds in...most romantic, sexy, hot scene ever on TV.
And that's what everyone wants, to be in love, loved, and happy.
From what my old Chaz Addams (the creator) books suggest, Gomez and Morticia were originally divorced.
The Addams family are extremely well adjusted. A husband and wife who adore each other, very loving and supportive of their children and family is a big deal for them since they have Gomez's brother and Morticia's mother live with them. And yet.... they're suppose to be the "opposite" of the so called "ideal" home life.
blueagua, I think they're intended to be opposite of the most commonly "traditional" home ... rather than the ideal home ...

Okay, but also the kids are always trying to kill each other, which is pretty on point for real siblings.
Yes, standard for siblings ... just not generally to the level that the Addams' children take the rivalry....
Load More Replies... That's not at all what the Adams family is about. It's partially based on an actual family, with amusingly unusual characters, but it IS NOT, not, a comparison with traditional values.
It appeared first as a comic strip and the guy who wrote it is named Adams. He supposedly was poking fun at rich people with their mansions and servants and absurd toys/ways.

Why is your political affiliation so important to Americans? Are there no people that just don't like any of them? That think, I'll listen to what they say and vote for the person that seems to have the best ideas to me? Nobody that thinks, 'I agree with the Dems on that subject, but disagree with the other thing. And I like the Reps idea on this, but not on that'?

Truly A Yearly Highlight
When I was 7, I lost a tooth. I put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy. The next morning I found a $20 bill under my pillow. I rushed in to the kitchen and said "The tooth fairy gave me 20 bucks!!" My mother looked at my Dad and said "Wow...the tooth fairy was generous!" To which my Dad responds "Probably because it was dark and the tooth fairy couldn't see what he was pulling out of his wallet."

Its so weird how Magic Mike is literally a movie about male strippers, yet they still managed to sexualise women/treat women as somewhat of a joke (i.e. its 'funny' but not threatening to see middle-aged women losing it over male strippers), all the while still portraying the men as dominant and strong

My gf found a lost phone once, which of course was locked, and we were sitting there wondering what to do with it when it rang and it was the owner's mother. So if you lose your phone, try phoning it, as some nice person may have found it and be trying to work out how best to return in.
