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

Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Please don’t remind me of everything in the ocean. I was following the great white sharks online. I saw one very close to the eastern NC coast where I go a lot. I stopped following. Sometimes ignorance is bliss! When I was about twelve, I was circled by a shark in very shallow water at Wrightsville beach, NC. I stood completely still and waited for it to go back out to sea. I came out screaming shark, shark, shark😆 Sharks come to that area of beach more than where I go.

Speaking of living in outer space, watch TV series, The 100. It’s sorta syfy. It’s in the future when there was a nuclear war and the earth was being destroyed from the radiation. Those that didn’t build bunkers went to space to live. The kids that were born in space as adults were sent to earth to see if it was livable. It gets a little crazy in the last couple seasons. I thought it was an interesting concept of living a different way than you knew all your life. They had to learn to grow food inside under lights. Basically whatever skill you had on earth you did in space. My favorite part is when someone did crimes they were floated, let go into space. Man can you imagine if we were not taking care of all the criminals?!
