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 have a middleschool understanding of carpentry. should i:
a) offer to do my neighbor's cabinets
b) not take on a task i'm incapable of completing with any quality in a reasonable timeframe
thats on the same level at all as art? a way of self expression? please quit seeing art this way, its puritanical and gross
don't fucking put down joinery. that shit is hard and takes a lot of skill, and designing door inlays and shit is just as artistic as line drawing or whatever narrow definition of art you have.
self expression is not the same as the allegory you had there
against my better judgement i will try again.
should one write poetry in a language they don't understand?
