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.

Do you remember 2012? 🤔
Remember all the "hype" about how the world was going to change? And all the prophesies, myths, ancient calendars "expiring" and then like Y2k, it sorta fizzled out? Remember that? Everybody thought that the changes would happen in an instant like flipping a switch.... but it seemed at the time like nothing happened.
Now here you are in 2024...Do me a favor and look in the rear view mirror. Look at how many things have changed since 2012. It HAD to be this way... otherwise we'd all be shocked because the change was too fast.... Now look how everything is speeding up.... because you're getting better at dealing with chaos, change and all the bizzare things we've seen in the past few years as we approach the "singularity"...
Yes it has sped up.
Yeah, maybe the "Pause" started in 2012!
