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.
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.
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.
