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!

why did humans invent "get a job" and "go to work"? other animals don't have to "get a job" or "go to work"? seems unfair (hexbear.net)

why can't we just frolic in a meadow and eat berries in the sunshine?

why did humans choose "get a job" and "go to work" to occupy their time rather than hang out with friends and make music and art

We’re way beyond that. Now so many people don’t have the “privilege” of getting to work thanks to the rich’s picky ass.

I’m literally begging for a world where jobs aren’t a luxury. Yes, this includes the education. I want a world where a doctor can fuck up in med school, and then regroup and try again.

Well time is commodified by capitalism, thats why neuro-atypicals are vilified, indigenous people were seen as lazy and why ageism and wrinkels are the worst thing in the world.
