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!

It's not like the work is making the world better. We're not piling sandbags before a rising flood and the young people won't get off their dang smart phones. The "work" is like selling insurance for wireless earbuds or putting seventeen pumps of seasonal-themed sugar syrup into a latte. Fuck off. If anything this "work" should be done poorly. Because it's killing the planet and putting microplastics in our brains. We're generating revenue for the fascist misogynist tech sector patriarchs by zapping our brains with ad riddled media because, apparently, that generates revenue in this stupid fucktodeath world. Somewhere out there thirty million kids are getting yelled at to buy a product by an AI generated voice and that's the reason some fucking dipshit who thinks "roko's basilisk" is real can afford to buy a giant house.

Whining olds should thank their lucky stars this awful machinery is able to coerce even lackluster participation from young people. Because they should be murdering all of us in preemptive revenge for what we've done to them.
