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: was just behind an old urban guy in line at the supermarket checkout. He paid with EBT. Saw him pull out of the parking lot, IN HIS TESLA.
I want reparations.
My state just legalized. Weed...I paid a hundo ticket and they stole my weed. I want reparations too
I posted yesterday in general chat about food stamps app (sorry I refuse to say EBT, let's call it what it is!) being hacked. The victim said she got 2K a month. I have never spent that much on food in a month. About him in Tesla, if SS knew about the car he would never have been approved. In the 90s we were barely making it and I went to SS for help. We had a truck that was maybe three years old and we were denied because the vehicle was to new. Maybe they don't check now, IDK. I'm glad we were denied I think I went out of desperation because we had a baby. We made it by and better off for it because we figured out how to survive.
I have to say that I personally believe God will judge people for that. That is stealing, plain and simple. I would give all I have to help a person in need, true need that is. I would be afraid to be in that Tesla to be quiet honest with you.
Me too
