Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.
Election Countdown special! High quality wallpaper for your enjoyment.

There is a bonus Alternate Version
I'm driving through Oregon and Trump/Vance signs are everywhere. With the exception of Portland proper it's total Trump country.
Hot damn!
Virginia is going Red. Proof with actual early vote data.
Notice all the Republican Congressional Districts (CD1,2,5,6,9) are out voting DEM CDs (3,4,8,10,11) 377k to 293k with in person voting. Dig Anons Dig!

I'm sick to my stomach over this. I live 90 minutes from the damage zone. I have had multiple conversations with friends and friends of friends who have been up in the carnage helping.
NC says 94 dead. This is 100% BS.
-
9 Reefer trucks at Hickory airport with bodies stacked like cordwood - that could be several thousand bodies alone.
-
Report that one coroner has 1,200 bodies in one county alone.
-
Radio calls overheard one for 800 bags and the other at an airport for 1000 lbs of bags (payload quantity).
-
Some may have seen the story of one woman who lost her whole family of 11. What the article didn't say, was that there were 40 other homes in her holler. She was the only survivor.
These stories could go on and on. The real number is 10,000-20,000. Gov. Cooper controls the information which gets released. He's keeping a lid on the disaster.
I just want to keep this on the top of people's minds as we go through daily life.
