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 can really relate to number four, because I watched a TED talks a while back about how to stand up straight. They showed that even in the most primitive society that people who put their heels together and point their toes out it automatically let your body align in the best possible way. It may feel awkward at first, but it’s very efficient when you’re standing in line and waiting your turn. Try it out.
I hold my phone up in front of my face when I’m standing in line, so I’m not looking down, or hunched over. Not only is this good for your posture, it’s good because you’re paying attention to your surroundings. it looks a little weird, and people sometimes think you’re videotaping them, but you’re not. your head is up and your eyes forward
I couldn’t find the original TEDTalks, but this is a good one anyway.
