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've never hitchhiked any significant distance but I can see how it'd be fun, I might also land in that nice zone of not-getting-fucked-with tbh, though I'm not thaaat "socially inclined", as you put it so it would give me mad anxiety the first couple times
I don't drive that much any more but I used to love picking up hitchhikers, you just don't see them that much anymore in the city because of piggie harassment I assume. And my uncles used to hitchhike to work every day in this town
Socially inclined is less in the desire sense and more in the skill sense. I'm funny as hell in a conversational kinda way especially. I'm witty and dry and have had the social ace up my sleeve since 7 that I can make anyone laugh more or less at will (everyone secretly does love puns and dad jokes). Also I carried a crocodile dundee knife as well as fireworks and if things went sour I'd threaten em.witj a knife and then set off fireworks in the cab. But that's just deterrence.
