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
So, I have something you guys might get a chuckle out of. I will say NSFW because of the language (only because he says N__a a few times) and visuals, but - Southpark has done 100x worse lol. Theres some cartoon lady twerking, that kinda stuff.
It's from nearly 20 years ago... but if you replace magazines and sports pages with tiktok and etc its relevant as ever lol
(heads up: its a comedy rap song in the tune of a Lil Jon song, but its basically a PSA telling people to quit soaking up the garbage and READ A BOOK, READ A MF BOOK lmao
It's a good message though, I can't remember the last time I sat down and read a good book honestly.
anyway, if you wanna kill a few minutes and get a laugh, here ya go - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlKL_EpnSp8
Either way - god bless all of you and if today was a good day embrace that, if it wasnt just remember tomorrows a new one.
That video is a classic. Wow 16 years old. Can't believe it's been that long
The Bible is a good one to read daily. Am thankful for those that share their reads on GAW. 👍
speaking of books, has anyone read Guns of the South? When I was taking care of my grandpa he had a copy so I read it. It was an absolute movie in my head I could picture it all so vivid. The author also used alot of factual elements like locations and times and people etc. Basically it's about "what if a party outside of the nation time traveled to the civil war and supplied them with AKs"
that's probably the last great book I sat down and got sucked into.
