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.

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.

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

He Needs 8 Months Of Tips
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.

Then the rest of the unit begins to sing All the Single Ladies, maybe I read the post wrong.
Look up David Niven, he volunteered. G Bush got his plane shot out from him. Jimmy Stewart, Morgan Freeman, Marlena Deitrich...
David Niven also saved a particular breed of cattle from the nazis, can't remember details just now. Audey Murphy was the most decorated WW2, made the movie after; 'To Hell and Back' So many stars served. Let's not forget those who risked their lives to entertain; Bob Hope, Ann Margret and when Paul Robeson sang for the troops, both sides stopped to listen!

He had a good time in Germany. Living there with all his family and entourage.
If Beyonce enlisted, army recruitment would go up 500% overnight.
...and everybody starts making covers of "Run the World" and singing out loud on the battlefield... Beautiful. Weird, but still...
Jimi Hendrix got discharged for never being where he was supposed to be, afair
My grandpa was almost over Elvis, he got to meet him but they changed plans so he left right after that. Also South Korea and North Korea are still technically at war. Male K-Pop stars have to serve in the military before they turn 29 so a lot of them wind up going in, like Taemin recently, at the height of their careers. Shownu from Monsta X just went in this week.
In defense of my idol, the Army offered to put him in Special Services and he turned them down.
Also intersting, Elvis had so many number 1's in his career, but he died having a number 2 !
Do you people really think that the US army would have let Elvis be in a situation that could harm him?? Imagine the headlines: "The king of rock shot by a sniper!". It's the same thing with prince Harry now, he's "a helicopter pilot that risked his life in Afghanistan" which equals he picked up the groceries from the local market. Seriously: how can you think that any army would let a famous person get harmed??
They weren't nearly as worried about Harry getting killed as they were about him getting kidnapped

? Elvis was drafted and did serve as a soldier starting in 1958. He had the option to be an entertainer for the troops but opted to be a standard soldier instead.
