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
There is an art, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Pick a nice day and try it.
The first part is easy. All it requires is simply the ability to throw yourself forward with all your weight, and the willingness not to mind that it's going to hurt.
That is, it's going to hurt if you fail to miss the ground. Most people fail to miss the ground, and if they are really trying properly, the likelihood is that they will fail to miss it fairly hard.
Clearly, it is the second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties.
Well, you know, I'm going to someday get arrested and put in jail for posting Hitchhiker's Guide quotes on this forum and for watching anime. He's already told me and multiple people on this forum that he envisions me violating my daughter in his sick mind. Obviously virtue is on his side. He'll lurk on this forum and downvote my posts for no good reason just to prove what a loser I am.
Prayers for him.
I'm not jealous. I've got one of those, too.
But I notice that .... hmmm.... rooftop does not. Hmmmm.... Suspicious.
Ah well, we can't ALL be rockstars. (idiotic comment, because rooftop IS a rockstar, if not the OG GAW rockstar, at least in its 7th iteration.)
Today I noticed that some of your posts appeared to begin with a 0 rating by default without a downvote, while the default should be a 1. That's weird.
