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 just tell people the computers are scared of me (really it's just Windows being unreliable garbage)
Windows is indeed unreliable garbage, but I've experienced this across Windows, Mac OS 9 and 10, Android, and iOS. My theory is that they slow down and take a little more care when I'm standing there watching.
