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
TDS is real. An hour and half talk with my oldest and best friend and I still couldn’t get through. 2016-Trump suck, 2018-Ikinda like the guy, 2020-TDS and we went over a year w/o speaking. Last 3 yrs we talked politics but he didn’t realize we were and we agreed on everything. Tonight he saw my trump 2024 flag in my garage and lost his shit. Fukin stupid. All he could do is throw insults as I stay calm and have a civil discussion. “Give me an example that you know is true” - but but but trump bad! In a lot more words from him. Love the guy and we got each other but shit…… TDS is real. He lives in a liberal family too so that doesn’t help.
If this is rambling and typos everywhere I apologize he drove me to drink. Ffs.
