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!

synthesis: millennials who refuse to answer phone calls and only use text
Dear all software developers on the planet: Please implement a feature where all ellipses are forcibly replaced by a single period.
If I get one more email from an older work colleague replying to me saying "That's great..." or "Give me a call..." or "Let's talk about that..." I will fucking lose it.
Yes! Why do they do that?! It makes no sense
Scum of the fucking earth!
anyone who habitually uses ellipses that I am forced to deal with for work gets placed on the "treat like a dumb asshole" list because they always belong there
Its all in service of the "This Meeting Could be a Phone Call > Could be an Email > Could be a Text Message > Could be in the trash" pipeline.
this meeting could be a psychic message sent into the ether that I will definitely receive for sure
this meeting could have been a wish you just kept to yourself
My mom leaving a serious, borderline urgent tone voicemail: Call me
Me calling back: Is everything ok?
My mom’s response: Oh I just wanted to hear your voice
Mom: "Are you working today?"
Me: "i go in tonight"
Mom: "Call me tomorrow"
Now i am panicking because she often does that with bad news. Usually though she doesn't have anything to actually say, just wanting to catch up. But why does it always have to seem like an emergency?
truly the best way to do things
