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've got the credentials to back it up, but it's an extremely rare day I've ever been asked for ID. If they ask, just say you don't have it. It's that easy, get 10% off! Heck, there's a restaurant that I like that does 25%!!

This veterans day, take some valor for yourself! You're a class war veteran!!! rosa-salute

Hell, the only time I ever got called out for parking in the Purple Heart spot at the Home Depot, I flashed my gallbladder surgery scars, told them they were from my tour in Iraq and they saluted me and thanked me for my service

This is a copypasta isn't it? Or have I just been on the site long enough to read this story twice...

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

It's a true story with some details excluded to protect the innocent

I've posted about it a couple of times
