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'm so fucking sick of living in a society. I've got a host of neurodivergencies that make life in a society a living hell. I have ADHD, BPD, ASD, I'm Transgender.

All I want is to be a nomad, traveling the world at my pace, foraging for food and collecting trinkets and baubles that make my brain go brrrr but no, instead of that I have to work a job I don't want, for a company who doesn't respect me, just to maintain a decent standard of living in a country that couldn't give two shits whether I survive the day or not.

BP, queer, and going through not only ADHD but full psych screenings now. Feel this. If you ever need an inbox, hit me up.

As a fellow ND person, I seriously relate. It was hammered into me as a kid that I needed to be a good part of capitalist society even if it didn't make sense to me. Now that I've deprogrammed parts of that, I see the pointless bullshit for what it is. None of it makes sense and there's never a reason for most of it outside of 'because the owner of ____ said so.'

It sucks now too because we can't easily wander off like in the days before social media and credit scores

I think a lot of historical hatred for Roma/Tinkers/Travelers throughout the world comes from people in generations past being that mad at people living that way.
