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!

People are such assholes to me, just got screamed at because this guy's card declined. I felt bad for him, but he was just screaming and being a giant asshole. It's so loud I can't make any sounds out over the constant beeps of timers, and I'm always startled by the shit.

I really hope I can get on disability

In the US, you don't have to pay disability lawyers upfront. They get paid a percentage of any back pay they get you. It's usually the smart move unless you have some undeniable physical disability. They know the right words to use to make sure you qualify.

For me it really worked out because my lawyer argued I was disabled much farther back than I thought I could. I ended up with much more back pay even though he got 30% of it.
