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!

My therapist made a comment about how China is a failed socialist experiment because they have 2-3 year olds working in factories. I responded "So we've been told." She looks at me like I'm crazy. (Not a great look for a therapist) "I've not seen any evidence of that."

"Because they're such a closed country!"

"Which means you have no evidence to your point either?"

"Well, missionaries... anyway!"

I can't imagine 2-3 year olds being productive in any labour context.

No fine motor control. Abysmal gross motor control. Limited reasoning skills. Object permenance skills.

Someone with a psychology background should've rubbed their two braincells together on this issue and realize not to listen again to whoever told them this.

The news seems credible, until they talk about your domain - and you see how little sense it makes. She doesn't even care about how much sense it makes.

Doorstops don't need to do much.
