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!

This stupid country just lets people fucking die and get disabled everyday. I'm sick of it. My tax dollars just go to killing and dismembering people abroad. Fuck fuck fuck.

there used to be a vaccine for lymes disease that was like 80% effective but it wasn't profitable so now we don't get it

Thought I read they're in stage 3 of trials for a Lyme disease vaccine now. Idk, too lazy to look up the legitimacy.

there was one in the 90s that got to market and was withdrawn 4 years later after a couple (seemingly unrelated) reports of arthritis symptoms after taking it

And lymes can cause joint pain anyway
