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!

You can go outside without spreading covid. Its actually harder to catch outdoors than in, since the ventilation is so much better.
You could meet people even in the height of the pandemic, as long as they were within your bubble. You can meet people as long as you're responsible.
Damn, we would have had the revolution but too many people had went out and created solidarity smdh.
This is kind-of an individualist way of looking at the problem, I think, and a bit too simplistic...
It's certainly not the only solution required, but it could improve your life.
Oh for sure, I just felt that it was presented as too simplistic and doesn't apply to everyone, imho
I'm sure it doesn't apply to everyone. That said, I'm almost certain it applies to more than just a couple of people, myself included. That's why I've made an active effort to connect and reconnect with people over the last six months or so and will continue to do so in 2024. Its not a solution for every single person. Some people would benefit greatly from it though. Interacting with real humans (as long as they arent toxic) is a good thing for most people.

COVID still kills people
You can go outside without spreading covid. You can meet people without spreading covid, as long as you and the person you're meeting is responsible about it.
You can’t make me
Soz but capitalism has alienated me all the way, as if having freakishly weird and niche interests plus being queer plus being autistic plus having incredibly bad social skills wasn't bad enough, coming to this website has actually destroyed my brain.
Seeing the world for what it is and having a leftist understanding of anything at all has been highly destructive. Understanding is cool but the intake of this knowledge has been a net negative for me. When people complain about their bosses or jobs, it flips the Big Communism Builder switch in my brain and I just cannot fucking stop. It's probably tism related as well, but in general I am no longer useful to talk to.
Consideration: is this website a bit? Is it set up for unknowning fuckers like myself to come along and take everything way too seriously, internalise a new worldview, and only be able to talk on hexbear anymore? Is this 
? Was this the end goal? I have alienated the few people I know the rest of the way by flavouring my social ineptitude with rambling leftist rants, and it's starting to feel like I'm the victim of a cruel joke.
Someone pls tell me if this site is a bit.
yea it's a bit, sorry
Got ya good tho
This fuckin webzone has me hook line and sinker, literally used queer/trans awareness & acceptance as handy bait to turn me into the world's most ineffective commie. Fucking masterful play by the feds, really what leftist stands a chance against this kind of cyberwarfare?

Me? 
? Play with HUMINT?
How about 
A few weeks ago I took the train and there was a guy on there (like 18 years or so old) who just pretended to be a ticket inspector and just generally joking around with people. I kinda feel we need more of that energy in general. I wish I could have that kind of energy more often (and without needing to have a beer or two beforehand).
On the other side of this when I took a train home for Christmas a week ago there was a guy in the same compartment who started talking with everybody and was clearly a total chud talking about no-go-zones and basically every reactionary talkingpoint you could think of
Reddit friendly reminder to sort by controversial for the juicy stuff
I will not suck on or be sucked on. My resolution is pure.
I do go out and its awful
you need to hog out
might as well try unionizing vampires or organizing an anti-war march in mordor.
There is nobody to see, nowhere to go out, and nobody who wants to kiss me.
