@FallGuysGame Yo since the P-body Portal 2 costume was given to the statistically best player, should the Atlas Portal 2 costume be given to the statistically worst player 🤔🤔🤔

@Klind2013 I think that overall, Twitter is allowing people to hear the voices of others, which is a great thing to connect people and members of different communities. More ideas and thoughts are circling through the minds of many. #EGL303F19

@Klind2013 A5: Twitter can be used to spread misinformation rapidly about a certain topic since people usually don't fact-check or look deeper into something on Twitter, many will often glance at a tweet and take it face value. #EGL303F19

@Klind2013 A4: This tweet on "Happy World Animal Day" uses Kairos to spread awareness about animal adoption. It also uses the pathos of a cute animal photo to catch the attention of readers. #EGL303F19

@ahaftab22 @Klind2013 Yeah the issue with Twitter now is the blurry line between protecting privacy and abusing censorship. Since Twitter has evolved from a "private corporation" to a public platform where people can exercise "freedom of speech," it's hard for twitter to control everything. #EGL303F19

@Vanessa13219814 @Klind2013 This problem about personal information being spread is something that people have to face when dealing with the everyday use of the internet. I guess how you would deal with this is live without internet (and live on a farm or something). #EGL303F19

@ishan721 @Klind2013 It especially gets worse when followers of a celebrity would band together and attack the opposing celebrity or attack supporters of that celebrity. #EGL303F19

[Jun-Yi Wu @JWu303]

@jafuchsia @Klind2013 I could see Twitter being used negatively to single out a particular person or draw attention to a person who doesn't want people to know about something. This situation probably happens often among smaller school communities. #EGL303F19

[Jun-Yi Wu @JWu303]

@ishan721 @Vanessa13219814 @Klind2013 Yeah I'm someone who doesn't understand this reference. It does look like something that would be effective among certain members that understand its reference, like how a meme would capture an audience. #EGL303F19

@NickLajoie3 @tstraubEGL303 @Klind2013 I didn't know who this person is and when I looked him up, I found out that he's also another democratic candidate for the 2020 election. He uses twitter in a way to let people be aware of his position for certain issues. #EGL303F19

[Jun-Yi Wu @JWu303]

@blksch1 @Klind2013 I think Kairos is also being used through how quickly people are spreading ideas about the impeachment of the president, for better or for worse. #EGL303F19

[Jun-Yi Wu @JWu303]

@ishan721 @Klind2013 The feeling of nostalgia from the different performances of Joker allows people to get more hype about the upcoming movies with different portrayals of Joker. #EGL303F19

[Jun-Yi Wu @JWu303]

@jafuchsia @Klind2013 Bernie does a great job turning a bad situation into something he can use to spread awareness about the importance of health care. It becomes believable due to the urgency of the situation he was in. #EGL303F19

[Jun-Yi Wu @JWu303]

@nycvalle @Klind2013 Yeah letting people know about Saturday's homecoming is important because some people are commuters and might not go over the weekend. The tweet would let people be aware of the events going on around campus. #EGL303F19

[Jun-Yi Wu @JWu303]

@jafuchsia @Klind2013 Motivational messages like this can definitely influence someone in the course of their day. Often, people don't realize that all they need is some acknowledgement from anyone to feel better. #EGL303F19

[Jun-Yi Wu @JWu303]

@Klind2013 A3: I retweeted Neil deGrasse Tyson's tweet which spreads awareness of the Amazonian fire and promotes the importance of taking care of the environment. Spreading awareness about environmental issues could inspire people to work together and help the world. #EGL303F19

[Jun-Yi Wu @JWu303]

@blksch1 @Klind2013 Supporters from communities that post means will definitely pull through when it counts. People sometimes underestimate the power of how memes connect people with one another. #EGL303F19

[Jun-Yi Wu @JWu303]

@BlakeRAnthony1 @Klind2013 Yeah I think if celebrities participate in everyday down-to-earth activities like fantasy football, it definitely creates a feeling that they are also ordinary people helping those in need. #EGL303F19

[Jun-Yi Wu @JWu303]

@DunichiKirby11 @Klind2013 Promoting groups and players from less mainstream communities can help communities flourish, such as the eSports community. eSports may soon become completely recognized as an equal to traditional sports. #EGL303F19
