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!

spoilerIf you say, "but actually I wasn't annoying as a teenager." Sorry, you missed your chance! Not my problem!

i assumed this quote was fake, and while it is from 1907 and not ancient greece, there's similar sentiments from Plato and Xenophon quoted in the dissertation this is from on pages 73ff. This particular one is in the middle of page 74.
