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'm getting a kick out of the Wednesday show. My friend introduced me to site called Bflix where I can watch such shows because there's no way in hell I'd pay for Netflix. I'm up to episode 5 and so far the occasional woke BS has only been very brief and minimal.
I don't watch shows or movies or "the news". When I'm done researching for the day and need to relax, I watch DIY videos on YouTube.
I know what you mean. I constantly have people asking me if I've been watching "the latest thing" ever since that stupid "Lost" show. I very rarely enjoy anything anymore. The first two seasons of Mandalorian were fun, but I'm over that.
I live in Asia but I don't watch Asian dramas. Go figure. Some are fairly dopey romance dramas, which would be fine if they didn't push that girly-boy ideal onto women. At least China did something about getting rid of the "effeminate boy" thing on TV. I'm not for censorship generally, but it's a blatant psy-op and China called it out for what it is. I'm glad my teenager daughter doesn't like that type of guy, and she calls them "girls" when they are on TV.
BTW, there's some asshole on here with the username NewbishBewbish who has zero posts but only insults people via DMs. He called me a loser for taking my quote "I hardly enjoy anything anymore" out of context, yet this guy only enjoys trolling others. I've reported him to the mods.
