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!

"Son, I feel insecure about the fact my job is just going to zoom meetings, I need to project that insecurity on you on your day off by constantly pestering you about what you are doing. What do you mean you just want to play Stardew on your day off? What it's not like your job where you're on your feet all day is stressful unlike my email job. Let me yell through your bedroom door about shit I think you should be doing."

Fuck off. "Freeloading" nah your son didn't choose to be born and "day off" implies they're working.

Seriously, I almost wish the mods hadn't removed this so I could give this guy a piece of my mind. I work in the receiving department of a big retail store, I'm loading and unloading shit all day, god forbid I want my mom to leave me the fuck alone and let me play Valheim on my day off.

I think you can still see replies if your comment gets removed, so go ahead.

"No one should have a day off! If you're not working every day, you aren't capitalism-ing hard enough!" - Something my dad might actually say. (Meanwhile, he does shift work and gets way more days off per day on than most 9-5s. Although he does volunteer for overtime a lot of those days... he's getting paid more overtime than most folks get for the same ratio of hours worked to total hours in the timesheet period, and he has the option to not do it.)

Yep. Shitty asshole children of the Cold War with just enough money to be seen as Good Upstanding Middle Class Folks but not enough power and status to really understand capitalism like the rich do or enough hardship to really understand capitalism like the poor do, make really horrible parents to be stuck living with. They don't always suck at every part of parenting, necessarily, but they do suck at treating their kids as human beings and at being pleasant people to be housemates with.
