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.

I Love That Life Makes Sense For Him Now
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.

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.

Religion
Because it's my religious duty to be a bigot, homophobe and sexist according to my holy book, written by bigots, homophobes and sexists ages ago.
Why I hate it when people use religion as an excuse "because God said being gay is wrong." No, God said don't be a hateful asshole and don't judge.
Load More Replies...because their leader are not religious people they are people of POWER first! religion is just a way for them to get that power.
I try to remember to not judge anyone, but sometimes it is difficult. 😞
Same. I'll be a "work in progress" until the day I nope out of this valley of tears-- and probably afterwards, too.
Load More Replies...Just saw a bumper sticker: "When God said 'Love thy neighbor, he meant it!'"
Well, when it comes to religion things sure do escalate quickly. I just take people as I find them. I do have a faith, but even with that, if you claim to be a _______toss in any religion, and you are a nasty piece of work I have a huge issue with that. I'll take an atheist who is principled, kind and non judgemental any time. As for religion, specifically the Bible, when the Pharisees demanded that Jesus define the Laws, all He said was to Love the Lord your God with all your mind, all your heart and all your soul, AND TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF (the capitals are mine to make a point, not yell) and that summed up the Law and the Prophets. Thats pretty much it I think. And you can even do the last part and be an atheist. As for equality, my faith says that society will never reach it's full potential until woman takes her rightful place beside man. As in men.
A lot of times the “ultra religious” don’t believe in the religion at all and are just in it for the power or the heirarchy. There’s the low-level crazy people who use religion as a way to judge people and get a I’m better than you power trip off of it, and there’s the high-level people who see an establishment where you’re able to fake your way into a position where you’re automatically deemed trustworthy and your decisions go without question. Narcissists/psychopaths often like to infiltrate religious institutions and poison it from the inside out while basking in the power their given. Unlike the low power level people mentioned, they’re usually very well read on the beliefs of the religion their in and twist it to manipulate. Neither of these types of people care about the actual religion theyre “a part of”, they’re just looking for a way to hurt people.
I don't know about every religion but a lot of them say don't judge people because in the way you judge them you will be judged. And yes, your judge will be God. You can take it up with Him on that day.
Gods are fictional. You won't be judged by any of the thousands of gods that humans have created. When you're dead, you're dead; you won't be taking anything up with anyone.
Load More Replies...Religions are all man made ideas that make everyone go crazy and make people feel superior for believing bullshit.
Some people are "religious" and don't know anything about that specific religion. Have you studied? Do you know what was actually written? Not from another person but from the book(s) themselves.
Sorry,, don't be a what??? People are entitled to their own beliefs and ways of life. Live and let live
*scrambles to hide damascus so the italians don't set it on fire again*
"Tradition" is just another word for oppression. "But we've ALWAYS done it like that . . ."
If you hate someone because your religion tells you to, you're doing it wrong.
I hate that so much. Those people make all Christians seem like super terrible people and it gives us all such a terrible image. I'm religious, but I respect people with different religions and non-religious people. I'm also absolutely not a Republican.
Hey, I know those people! People who impose ridiculous dress codes, insane behavior rules, etc. Man, the choir at my church is out of their mind. We quit very quickly; just after we were sent a 5 page email on what exactly we did wrong during rehearsal when THE DIRECTOR EXPLICITLY SAID THAT THE RULES DON'T APPLY YET CAUSE WE WERE NEW! Seriously, 14 year olds shouldn't be choir directors. They suck.
What about your holy book, the bible, being pro slavery? It says that you can beat your slave with a rod into a coma and it’s ok as long as they get up in a couple of days. What about your holy book being pro rape? What about the bible saying that women are chattel property of men? What about the bible claiming prayer works over and over again? Scientific studies have shown that petitionary prayer has the same outcome as random chance. But, jesus says that you can actually move mountains prayer alone. Go do it. Go move a mountain with prayer. Do you realize that there’s a story with a talking donkey in your holy book? Isn’t it very silly? How would you be able to determine the bible is not fictional?
Load More Replies...Jesus loves us all the same. He loves the sweet children just as He loves the addict. We are all the same in his eyes. He shed the same blood for us all.
Jesus supposedly healed some lepers. But, he didn’t cure the disease leprosy. Why not? Is he an asshole? Just playing favorites? Did he not have the power? Did he not want to cure leprosy? Science has largely cured the disease leprosy. Thank scientists. Jesus said, I come not to bring peace, but a sword. Jesus came to separate families. He said if you love a family member more than god (even a mother loving her own baby, or a baby loving their own mother), it is horrible and you will be punished. That’s sickening and that’s emotional abuse and blackmail. Jesus said that you can actually move mountains with prayer alone and faith the size of a mustard seed. Well, go do it. Go move a mountain with prayer. That’s a testable claim that completely fails making jesus an obvious liar. Jesus lied again saying to the people standing in front of him that surely he will return in their lifetime. He never did. Or are there people over 2,000 years old waiting for him?
Load More Replies...When you do things that hurt other people because a "god" told you to, it's time the community at large put you away some place safe for all concerned. In any other world this would be a no brainer. But in the US, it seems that being crazy is a protected right, just as long as you are a christian.
The more religion someone has in their mouth, the less they have in their heart.
Hearts only pump blood, they don't hold religions or gods or fairies.

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.
