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!

I mean this in a very non-boomer way, but society is not going in a good direction (hexbear.net)

Spent a morning out on the town on my day off, and everyone is just fucking buried in their phones 24/7. This realization was so absurd to me

Of course I’m not exempt from this shit, but no wonder people are having so much trouble making friends and creating meaningful relationships in this day and age. So fucking bleak

Us being on our phones is making connections, Forming relationships, and growing as people.

Watching friends reruns on TV is in no way better.

I think OP is also trying to make the point that before the phones TV was the idiot box. Now it's right in our devices and we literally just wake up and dive into it.

Yes, the technology has allowed us to form connections and learn so much but it has its pros and cons. That should seriously be considered because obviously these algorithms are created to just addict us
