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
😡 WARNING 😡 I’ve noticed quite a few accounts popping up that joined over a year ago, but they have very little comment or post scores.
It’s like they pop up out of nowhere, and now all of the sudden they have something to say. 🤷♀️
It’s as if they’ve been waiting, and now their comments and the posts are a little off. Just beware, keep your heads on a swivel, and be ready for psychological warfare because it is an election year.
Stay strong FRENS 🐸
They've been using this tactic for quite awhile. They're just getting easier to spot. We have grown!
Do they say Doomer stuff? Or Misinfo stuff?
•Straw man arguments
•Gaslighting
•Leftist talking points
•Concern trolls
•Shills
•Forum sliding
For instance… I was having a conversation with somebody who thinks it’s OK that his girlfriend wears a mask to Walmart, because she doesn’t like getting hit on. Pick three of the above mentioned titles and they fit.
Seriously… this is the stupidest conversation I’ve had all day. The dude is literally Schilling for Sharia law - for his own girlfriend, and then justifying it’s OK to cover your face because mUh misogyny 🤷♀️
Like Walmart is the bastion of sexism 😂😂😂
EDIT: see example below ⬇️ 👇 😂
I been there once.
I was by myself looking for utensils for a bbq my coworkers were having (i was actually only needed to go to walgreens, which i did go to inintially, but then i thought they said walmart so i took longer than i needed to lol..)
I walked in this aisle, and 2 black guys and 1 black girl walked passed me.
I physically felt a violent tension in the air, even tho I was chill, very weird.
Never again.
Congratulations👏👏👏
Edit: We’ll done ✅
