People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

Mark NSFW content.
No doxxing people.
Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
No international politcs
Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

See that's the problem with age differences.

If I tell you they are 23 years apart, you think "uhh".

If I tell you they are 17 and 40, you think "UHHHHH"

Lets see if it applies to me:

Me and her are 11 years apart.

Me and her are 23 and 34.

Hmm.

Well, yeah, of course that's less bad. You're both older and the difference is less

Ultimately a lot of it comes down to levels of maturity and the places ones are in their lives anyway. A 17 year old definitively can never be mature enough to have a healthy relationship with a 40 year old

Half the bigger age plus 7 for the younger.

40/2 + 7 = 27. 17 is ew

34/2 + 7 = 24. You're just okay, but should feel bad in bed

Yeah look I haven't gotten that far yet. Could I have? Almost certainly.

"She and I"

The easy way to figure it out is to remove the other person from the sentence.

Is it: "Her are (is) 11 years apart" or "She are (is) 11 years apart?"

I bet I can make it even more uncomfortable for you to read.
