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!

History has given me something similar to comfort, context. It's not to minimize the problems of today, but the mind numbing horrors of the recent past show that humanity is capable of just ridiculous levels of evil. As much as I dislike the current state of things In the US I am not worried about being drafted into a war only to die uselessly like in WWI. I am not concerned about general warfare between the states. So as subpar as our world is right now you could be in a wet dirty trench filled with rats getting fired on with so many shells you go insane. Doesn't make anyone's life easier of course. I'm just grading on a curve.
