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!

The unemployment and disability websites here don't even work 24/7. If you can't get to a computer until after 4 you're SoL.
And if you're applying for a mental health issue with nothing physical and obvious you might as well go fuck yourself. No medical history because you haven't been able to afford to see a doctor in over two decades? Go fuck yourself. No transportation to the see the guy that's supposed to determine if you're lying? Go fuck yourself. The guy doesn't ask you anything about your health or difficulties, takes one look at you and decides you don't need it? Oh you better believe it's time to go fuck yourself.
BRO FOR REAL! The victim blaming pull yourself up by your bootstraps machine goes into overdrive the moment you ask for help. Everyone's talking about "Oh we want people to ask for help, don't suffer alone, we are here for you" blahblahblah. The moment you actually try to access the help they supposedly offer they say "oh look at the time, it's half past go fuck yourself. Public aid machine broke, scram you fuckin' loser".
I'm really want to live in a whole were we used our vast public wealth (we the workers generate) to just help people. At very least give them a social foundation, a line we say "No matter what happens we won't allow you fall below this point". It sucks we just let people free fall until they combust due to the force of friction and we blame them for it.
Yes I'm grateful for my current position where I'm pretty much straight (though you never know, one particularly bad day will ruin most of us) but fuck this system sucks so much ass.
