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 got some coffee delivered via grubhub and I was chatting with my driver since I've gotten to know him (he deliverers a lot) and he was attacked in a road rage incident. (hexbear.net)

All he did was honk his horn at a car that wasn't moving getting onto the highway. I guess the guy followed him and it got physical. He's okay and the guy was arrested but do not honk your horn or engage with other people on the road for real.

I have never had cause to use a horn, and every use of a horn I have experienced has made the situation less safe. Unless you are literally a runaway vehicle, what the fuck are you communicating with your horn other than "you know what would make this situation safer? A CONTENTLESS DISTRACTION!"

It's pretty nice to have when someone is actively merging into you
