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!

Yesterday I kinda did, but I'm an IT contractor so it has different energy. I was getting paid per device and I got 4/5 devices done, then I realized that device 5 was like 3 hours of work (devices 1-4 were about an hour and a half each) and I called in and told them I had a family emergency because the price they were paying was not worth that much time.
