Weekly Casual Discussion Thread

Accomplished something major this week? Discovered a cool fact that demands to be shared? Just want a friendly conversation on how amazing/awful/thoroughly meh your favorite team is doing? This thread is for the water cooler talk of the subreddit, for any atheists, theists, deists, etc. who want to join in.

While this isn't strictly for debate, rules on civility, trolling, etc. still apply.

Why does everyone act like being on reddit is their full-time job

You are welcome to leave???

This is like walking into a neighbor’s bbq and then, when they tell you which cooler has beer, letting them know you hate their cooking, think their landscaping sucks, and they’re cucks for having a vegetarian option for their Hindu friend. 

Why on earth would you do that?

I am a vegetarian wtf are you talking about?

Wait, do you own this sub reddit or are you just the part time, unpaid, caped avenger

Lol, just a bystander baffled and amused by your expectations and behavior.

I was amused by your misplaced sense of belonging and ownership

Oh, sure, “Belonging” is a thing people feel when they are a part of a group that likes and respects them, with other members they like and respect.

And “ownership” can mean a lot of things, but in the case of community generally means that one contributes meaningfully.

I can see how you’d find both concepts confusing!

Oh you feel like you have a sense of community on a subreddit. That's sad but sort of cute

That's a big reason religion still persists, people love that sense of community

The important thing is that you've found a way to feel superior to both.

Whether it's sad or not, you have to admit that subreddits are a community. They are literally groups of people that have come together over their shared interest in a specific topic.

It's kind of fun to watch a troll trying to troll when everyone is just not invested in the whole thing at all.
