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 resent growing up with technology. Wish I was forced into playing sports instead of being allowed to sit on the computer all day (hexbear.net)

encouraged and forced me to do it

These are two different words you cant put an and between them like they mean the same thing. There's a huge difference between providing sports as an option and "forcing" a kid.

Like if you had been forced the chances the end result would have been you loving them would have been slim.

I guess I should clarify my use of the word forced. I do think some semblance of discipline needs to be instilled in people and it’s not 100% an intrinsic quality in a person or something that’s entirely a result of passion
