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!

Because pretending to care seems so fake. About to just be that guy who rants about the stupidity of it all, evoking David graeber or some shit, because it seems to be all people ask me about at bars or meet-ups. Do I have to like re-program myself to care

What’s the solution comrades

Learn to pivot to an interesting and (if you're looking to agitate) subversive topic. "I'm a widget designer down at blah blah blah factory, but my passion is Revolutionary Bank Robbers that inspired shows like Andor and Money Heist. Something about the way they stick it to the system while fighting for the little guy really inspires me with a hunger for justice that's missing in the world, ya know?"
