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
I was visiting stores within my area to check if they have any Gay Pride BS on display. Was a bit surprised that the local Dollar Tree is clean of the BS. Kudos to them for that. Maybe the pride merch is too expensive for Dollar Tree? I will laugh a lot if that is the case. They also have a ton of Patriotic and Christian merch on sale, including Bibles, so even more kudos to them.
Full disclosure, they do have rainbow stuffs, but it is all part of the "Bubblegum Unicorn Girl" aesthetic items that they have going on for a while, so I will overlook that until otherwise.
That's great, but check where their goods come from. 42% are chinese.
I am aware. I am also mostly avoiding the Chinese stuffs (mostly buying snacks and drinks from the Dollar Tree anyway) and checking labels carefully.
