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
Yeah, almost all reviews are fake. We have had 5 star companies come and do crappy job. As for appliances, nothing is constructed solid these days. Everything is made of plastic material and everything is designed to break.
There is a real reason for all this. It all comes down to the fraudulent fiat financial system we are in. It intentionally keeps printing currency and devaluating the value of dollar, and hence all our net worth as well as the value earned by services and goods.
Without realising, this drives people to cut corners just to survive, to the point where we live in a world filled with cheap stuff and dont even realise we are actually slaves.
Cant wait for all this crap to end.
Absolutely! We just got a new microwave and it’s more plastic than anything else. My husband said the mounting brackets are cheap plastic. It’s bigger than the twenty year old we took out. The rotating plate is 1/3 the size of old one. Old one wasn’t broken except the bottom piece holding glass door together was broken hanging by a thread. Had to get new oven old one had been fixed by hubby a couple times and door was trying to fall off. I was scared glass was going to crash down in new stove and out two appliances. Just got granite yesterday so we have an old kitchen (1946) that looks new.
