Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

On the flip side I appreciate all the free expensive alcohol I get.

meow-hug We do what we do to survive. It sucks, never stop trying to change it.

I try to do as little evil as I can at work and I try to use my ill gotten gains to do as much good and genuine community building as I can. It's not perfect but I don't work for defense or banking or insurance or anything totally fucking awful and I help a lot of comrades do a lot of real genuine good so I sleep okay most nights. I just wish that real important skills were more valued and also that I was brave enough to reduce my quality of life to do more good. It's a seemingly impossible choice.

In short absolutely fuck capitalism

You sound like a pretty good person to me!

Thanks comrade. Same to you. We all do what we can. I don't do enough but I'm trying and that's all we can do. If we all genuinely try to build community and make the world better we will. Together
