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!

Another common one is someone will tell you they're going somewhere, but I've recently learned that it usually means they're going somewhere, but are also inviting you to go with them.

And then the one time you think "You know what? When people say that, it means they're inviting the person", it turns out that, no, they weren't inviting you, and at best, things get awkward, at worse, they admonish you for inviting yourself and being presumptuous.
