Why do people post on twitter like this? What's the point?
Overrated. The real perk is learning how to not eat it all at once
Some damning stuff in that report.
I can't imagine some politician I didn't like getting 3 terms. That would blow. That's 15 years.
For whatever reason the nested comments aren't loading but I'd think twice about uploading my bank statements or anything personal to an online photo editor.
They are being blocked at the border. The Taliban won't let them leave. The ones who got out and participated in interviews (ie the ones we hear about) talk about how their families back home are being harassed, hiding.
It's true the downvotes have a lot less power here and it's awesome.

Lots of secular AA groups out there
I know way too little about this to have an actual opinion about it. I read the article just as a way to learn more about what's going on with those people right now. At the very least their lives are ruined, and we're mostly just hearing from the refugees.
Ending quote: The man blames the former Afghan government under Ashraf Ghani and the international coalition, which operated in the country for 20 years, for “everything falling apart so quickly.” “We have lost everything, even our hope for the future. We’re living in a country of lies, a country that no longer exists,” he concludes.

I went to a climate protest in Canada last week and it was way to tame to actually get anything accomplished.
The main part of the protest was walking down a main artery. For protesters, there is incentive to walk slowly and spread out to make the walk longer and disrupt status-quo longer, but the organizers clearly only had permission to march for a specific duration so they were in the back hurrying people forward so we'd stay within our allotted time window. Maybe 30 minutes. Once a year. It was pointless.
Add to that that 90% of the people there were exactly the people you'd expect to be there and it just felt like a waste of time.
