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
What do you think the breakdown is between male and female here? Do you tend to assume everyone else is your same sex when you're posting with them? Have you ever been surprised to learn a poster was the opposite sex than you'd assumed?
I identify as a 🐸
I think I mostly assume they are men. However; I’ve gotten better at learning when a woman is posting, and when a man is posting, just based on their context, comment, and wording. Although… I have met quite a few women on PDW that you would swear we’re men just by the way they talk, and use language. I think there are a lot of alpha females in the republican or right wing arena. Or. They’re just pretending to be Womens, but they really are men. 😂🤣🇺🇸
Lol yeah it can be hard to tell sometimes.
I also think there might be some that are just really good at masking there identity. They create a character and play the part needed
That's an interesting question I haven't heard before.
Not being woke makes the LQdies indulgent to our mistakingly misgendering them. Just see me as a dude, one which doesn’t ever belong in the woke gender alphabet soup.🥳
I have come to realize that at least half the users here are women. For me the biggest surprise was when I first time found out rooftop is a woman.
I miss rooftop. So full of knowledge.
Remember the Evspra thing? That was just a few months after I joined.
Yes, I remember Evspra. I think they try to start another forum and it didn’t work out. 🥺
Yes, they did. Not sure if anyone remembers, but I had a good friend on here, user name was something like ‘lovemycountry’ but she forgot her password and never tried to sign up again. Was only active for a few months but Evspra invited her to their new site. She was there for maybe like 2 weeks and left. Said it’s wasn’t that great and only like a dozen or two people there.
#MeToo
😭😭😭
What happened to rooftop?
deleted account then Jan Halper jumped into the limelight ;)
Who knows maybe the users are here...it could have just been time for a username change. We never know
Yes evspra was great same with rooftop.
I still have the first prayer thread saved. Haha good times
Those two anons were prolific to say the least. I think we'd know if they came back under a different handle and were active on the board and not just lurking.
