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!

~~Since the mpox and shingles vaccines are the same thing, at least where i'm at in the US you can get one for free at the state department of health if you say you're gay or traveling to a high risk country (not sure if this category requires proof of travel tho)~~
~~just to set expectations, for me it gave me a painful lump under my skin for like 5-ish days for each shot, but it wasn't too bad and obvs it won't happen for everyone~~
wait nevermind im stupid ignore this, smallpox/mpox is not the same as chickenpox/shingles, the above applies if you want a smallpox/mpox shot i guess tho lmao
