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!

Silly question, but am I supposed to pretend to like my job when people ask me about it (hexbear.net)

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

just a tip for everyone, when you meet someone don't go for the extremely overused "what do you do?"

ask what they like to do in their free time, or something else. don't ask about their job

I wish "what do you do?" wasn't automatically understood to mean "what do you do for work?" because taken literally, it's a very nice open-ended question that could be about anything.
