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.

You ever had a crush on someone back in the day, see them now and go "what was I thinking"? (hexbear.net)

This happens to me when I rarely open up Facebook. I'd see someone I was obsessing over in the 10s, and now I just wonder what I was ever feeling with them. It's not like something happened and they're massively different, they're more or less the same. Really the world changed a lot and I'm not the LIB I used to be.

I'm not dating anyone new now. But if I had to judge someone as hot, they would have many of the following characteristics:

left of some soft (Marxist, Anarchist, hell I'll date a decent socdem)
mask wearing
vegan
high empathy, worry about the suffering of others
reader
actively organising something in their community

To be honest, I had a pretty basic taste in dates back in the day. If anything, this should be a self-crit.

I had a crush on this girl when we were in 8th and 9th grade. Fell for her the second she was introduced as the new girl for like 30 seconds before disappearing lol.

Long story short, she somehow was subsumed into our friend group by a mutual friend. At that age, I always thought the “friend zone” was a one sided thing affecting the rejected person, but I later found out she was angry then depressed after she found out I liked her because she considered me a good friend and it could no longer be the same, so our friendship would have to end.

Anyway, she moved elsewhere after, then in senior year of high school someone discovered she was posting nudes using my full name on social media (they thought I was the one posting pictures of her and other girls lol) and later got arrested for stealing and crashing a cop car
