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!

Turns out people get offended when you respond to their propaganda with "So we've been told." (hexbear.net)

My therapist made a comment about how China is a failed socialist experiment because they have 2-3 year olds working in factories. I responded "So we've been told." She looks at me like I'm crazy. (Not a great look for a therapist) "I've not seen any evidence of that."

"Because they're such a closed country!"

"Which means you have no evidence to your point either?"

"Well, missionaries... anyway!"

Sorry, I feel like I'm arguing when that's not my intention. I really do appreciate your concern! doggirl-kiss

It's alright, you never felt combative to me, I was more going "I think I'm overstepping my bounds here and assuming too much about the situation and what I would do." when it isn't about me, it's about you feeling safe and comfortable and able to discuss your problems with someone who can help.
