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 evoloving
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
Rant: Youtube is trying to sell me some crap where I wear oculus glasses and see me entering some kind of fast food joint where Iron Man welcomes me…
I am thinking of the Matrix. I guess we are about to enter a new era where NPC will be diverted to the Metaverse full time whilst we, actual Normies in the noble sense, will relive our civilizations’ Golden Years, knowing that somewhere underground, soulless human bodies are living hidden under the ground, geothermically warmed and fed through pipes, maybe also having some of their nerves electrically stimulated to fit their simulated environment.
I guess there are those of us who don’t need a Metaverse for they were blessed with mental abilities allowing them to imagine whatever situation they want to experiment whilst others need someone else to program some ridiculous bells and whistle, Mickey-Donald-Thor-Spudey-Wakanda theme park to give them a sense of belonging… be it just approving to one another topic.
I might sound like a pedantic asshat, then I recognize in these underlings every rich bully who called me inept whilst at school for not knowing whatever useless crap they knew from their rich Daddies’ VCR.
I love people who love themselves and want to go forward. I understand every moment may bring its load of difficulties and courage is a resource which may run off at moment. It’s okay, as long as we accept that God loves us, His love for us will never be depleted, and He won’t give up, so, breath a little and stand up again. This is not an agora, it’s a journey. A Holy one. Our kind desserves every single effort we may produce.
