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 wouldn't mind disabling my browser's ad-blocker if websites would quit it with those annoying and gay autoplay videos that pop up in little sub-windows on the site. Frickin' annoying.
It’s becoming out of hand. I shop online a lot for plant based small business body products. Some pages will hardly load due to the many ads. Free crochet pattern sites are the worst. It doesn’t help that I have slow internet.
At one location I work at, I am stuck using a laptop with only 1 gig of RAM that was updated to crappy-ass Win10. The bare minimum recommended RAM for that crappy OS is 4 gigs. If I try to click on the volume control on the task bar, it might show up maybe 5 minutes later. Places like Babylon Bee play videos automatically and it is just out of hand.
Oh dang that’s horrible. I’ve never been to Babylon Bee site. I don’t like stupid stuff like that. I get why it’s popular.
