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.

They were trying to get me to vote for this Dem running for a state seat, guy’s a chief of staff for some local establishment democrat, usual machine operation.

I explain I’m sick of the democrats, and the volunteer’s response? “Well candidate such and such is actually much more moderate than people make him out to be.” I wryly pointed out that he just said that to a socialist, and at that point I think he realized he couldn’t do anything to pitch his candidate at that point.

Next thing you know, you’ll be hearing about the latest Prestige TV in the grocery store checkout line.

That's even more Jokerfying as a joke because that already fucking happened to me before. seen-this-one

They're gonna send you Star Citizen pre-alpha invites too, just to specifically piss you off.

I'd rather those invites go to more reactionary gamedads to drain their wallets a bit more.
