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."

My parents used to give me shit for sick days which was hilarious. Like my asshole boss let me call in i dont need a second asshole boss telling me i should be at work. They stole like half my wages too leaving me only enough to pay for the train to work and then made me go to bed at 8pm, i got home at like 7pm and got up at 6am i fuckin hated them… still do

That does suck. Especially in a physical job, rest is important!

It also sucks to be a parent who works from home stuck at home with your kid who isn't at school while you have to work.

EDIT: My kid is in elementary school.

Living with parents sucks (point of evidence #353654456655 that people just shouldn't be parents)
