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!

Just one of the many cool things about having a justice system that provides different levels of service depending on how wealthy the defendant is. Like if you've got the money (or monied interests) to fight a case it doesn't matter how patently absurd your position is, by god, you will have a right to a fair trial and the judicial process will entertain your lawyer's absurd arguments. So once in a while hellworld gives us a sickening glimpse or deep dive into some deeply fucked up shit while "justice" performs its ritualistic performance.
None of this would be "cool" if humans weren't mostly
- I wonder if we'd flip the system sooner if we weren't so entertained / outrage-engaged by it all.
