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 remember how quickly people were ready to hate Muslims and how excited they were at the prospect of "getting back" at anyone.

I remember my English teacher asking us if we felt like we were in danger in our bunk ass hick town and I quoted October Sky saying it would be "a waste of a bomb" to drop on us.

All the fucking car-window American flags littering the sides of the freeway.

David Cross had some really good "post 9/11" bits in his stand-up specials "Shut up you fucking baby" and "It's not funny"
