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
Interesting thing, food for thought. I have blazing fast internet through fiber optic. No problems. However, just out of curiosity, I used several search engines to research "Is JFK Jr. Alive?" Now, before you stone me to death and point out that Q already said he wasn't, think about this: 1) Disinformation. 2) Trump says he already knows who it is. 3) The pic of the guy at the rallies [no, not Vincent Fuscia, the other one]. Every time I enter that query, the net locks up. Eventually, if I give it time, something will come up, but come on. In this crazy world, where right is left, up is down, good is evil and vice-versa, would it be that crazy of a stretch? I watch every single Trump rally looking for clues, comms, shit like that, and to tell you the truth, this wouldn't surprise me one freaking bit
Tried a bunch of times. Never once did I see any slowdown, let alone net locking up.
Correction on that. The net doesn't lock up, but for some reason I get the little swirly for a few seconds, whereas with other searches they pop right up. Weird coincidence, most likely.
