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 evolving
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
I yelled at a woman in her car today, alone, wearing a mask. I'm sick of these people that endanger us all. To her credit, she did remove her mask.
Your feelings are completely valid and I totally understand your frustration.
I saw a road crew worker wearing mask and of course it was under the nose. He was ten feet from any human. I understand your frustration! I’m not sure what you mean by endangering us, maybe because they are sheep and wearing masks is just the beginning. Next pandemic they will line up to follow orders. I don’t waste my time telling people masks are useless. I figure they listen to the news and they would think I was the crazy one. Don’t feel bad about yelling we all get road rage or mask rage😁 Once I was patiently waiting for a park and this guy zooms in from the other direction. I’m embarrassed I yelled, “go back to Mexico”. I should not have done that! The Hispanics work harder than many American born citizens. There’s a lot in my area because of big farms. I got off point anyway hopefully the mask wearer will stop. It’s only making them sicker.
A colleague of mine wore a mask when she was all alone. I asked her why and she said because it was too dusty and she has allergies.
Oh that poor woman. I’ve been fooled several times in my life but that was mostly by stupid boys in high school. Too damned trusting! I can’t imagine believing everything “they” tell us. On second thought, I have believed what they said every time I went to the doctor and believed them. Praying she wakes up.
Then we must pray for everyone in asia because they're still wearing masks, now and before covid, due to dust particles :D Ask anyone who lives in Japan or Taiwan, they can tell you
I don't get it. Although she is a moron, how would her wearing a fearmask in her car endanger everyone?
If you’re so angry over seeing someone else do this that you actually act on it, I’d recommend consuming a little less of whatever content is making you that furious that you take it out on fellow Americans out in public. I should have replied to original OP my apologies.
If you don’t have righteous indignation at this point in time in the game, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Yes, people are angry, we should be!!! That is an appropriate response to the psychological operation that they have been implementing on humanity for the last century.
Yes, somebody should be angry when they see a human, in a car, ALONE wearing a mask! Yes, that feeling is valid. No one needs to wear a mask in a car, alone. That’s complete rubbish.
Now - how we handle that situation is, another thing, however; because the other person was in a car, and they couldn’t see OP - then perhaps OP was really screaming at the clouds. Perhaps OP needed to get it off their chest.
Can I see people wearing masks? I just pray for them. I pray that the Lord would release him from the fair that they feel they need to wear something so useless. I pray that they’re mine will be released from the grasp of the evil one.
But yes… We should be 😡
I’m not willing to put myself in an early grave being upset at old granny’s wearing a mask at Walmart, nor an early grave by vocally berating someone for doing something that isn’t illegal. Are any of you running on or supporting a political platform where wearing a medical mask is a felony? If someone’s not committing a crime I couldn’t give a damn what they’re doing, people are allowed to be weird. I enjoyed conflict when I was a blackout drunk who made a habit of waking up with broken knuckles and ribs and loose teeth, because maybe next time they’ll have a knife, or a .38 in their waist, and I won’t have to wake up. I know there’s other alcoholics who go out hoping for a fatal physical altercation, yes during the daytime. Point being people aren’t black and white. My girlfriend hates weird/creepy old men calling her pretty at Walmart, she quite literally wears a mask as a burka only there, to hide from the male gaze. Do I stop her? No, because I don’t give a shit and I know what kind of filthy things attractive women hear every day in public.
Then who exactly should be speaking out about this?
Your anger is misplaced. Use that anger and put it towards something productive. Americans focusing their rage on each other over shit like masks still is exactly why politicians stir the shit pot. so these kind of posts upset me a bit. I feel that a lot of rather popular social media accounts on the right push this, and I’m well aware and you should all be too, that think tanks funded by both sides want you to hate your fellow man. Anyone who wants you to hate your fellow Americans is a traitorous dog in my opinion.
Long story short- are you acting out at this stuff because your brain needs a rest from it? There are malevolent forces that want you doing this, don’t let them win. I wish people could give it a rest sometimes. But that last sentence is me just shouting into the abyss as I’ve always done.
The submission of so many is what allows the parasites to continue their tyranny.
Exactly my words don’t flow like this. I tried to say that in my reply. My brain is slow.
Yeah, I’ve had my days where my words just won’t flow, but I’ve thought about this long and hard.
