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!

They know I'm somewhere on the left. >.>
for many years they've known that I "hate liberals", but lately they seem to have sensed that I'm not right wing either ๐
I've mentioned queer communities and use "partner" for my partner instead of something more specific
A couple of my co workers are comrades. Today one was saying they were glad they were not a manager because they care about labor issues lol so that was cool
My boss is a member of a different industry's union and participated in their (admittedly milquetoast) strike a few months ago.
I'm still really cagey and both my coworkers and different flavoured chuds. The Christian one appreciates my knowledge of comparative religion, since everyone else seems to be a "rationalist" that actively avoids knowing anything about religion.
They don't need religion; they got pseudosecular religion at home.
The pseudosecular religion at home:
At least one is an unbelievably hard core nationalist. He worships the F35 and is considering becoming a cop or a navy stooge. He's also the most belligerent >.>
Boot-bros are the worst kind of techbros. I've known a few in college that went on to work directly for the military-industrial complex, and they were giddy about doing imperialism. One of them even directly compared himself to Doogie Howser from the Starship Troopers movie.
A team mate of mine at the computer touching factory is a Proudhonist.
I remember taking offense to being called a liberal at my last job. I didn't say the quiet part out loud, but that was the biggest tell I think.
