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 really don't care what other people do, but I do think it's really obnoxious how so many people basically demand to know what your sign is within and hour of meeting them, and then proceed to describe your own personality to you.

Nobody has ever asked me that in my life. I'm now very thankful.

I've been on several dates where the topic of my sign has come up within the first hour, usually first 30 minutes. A few I ended up actually dating but I had to grit my teeth any time my sign got brought up, usually on a weekly basis if not more.

Everyone says "oh nobody takes it that seriously" but for something nobody takes seriously they sure to like injecting it into every fucking conversation they can.

Sorry my ex was big into astrology and dumped me not to long ago.
