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'll go first [CW racism]
"Did you know they just passed a law in Afghanistan that women aren't even talk to each other anymore?" - My Zionist cousin at Xmas dinner.
The rest of the family proceeded to spend half an hour ranting about how terrible Arabs are.
..so, how's your holiday been? 
I hate my dad's anti China brainworms and general disingenuous edgelordism (he's an old serious union guy which makes it more heartbreaking). He also went on an anti Palestinian protester rant which is irritating because I know he is quite committedly pro Palestine.
my mum had a nervous breakdown and started ranting about how we have abandoned her alone (we have not) because I told her I needed 10 min to silently decompress after taking too many gigs and getting 6 hours sleep in 72 hours.
My brother immediately started yelling and is also having an extended work related mental health decline. And it eventually degraded into a merciful sullen silence until non-inner-family members arrived.
That said this is as bad as my family gets which means we're more or less okay.
