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 finally went and voted on Saturday. I kept coloring in that circle under Trump over and over and over again. I wanted to make sure it was plenty dark enough to be read. I waited four long years to color in that circle.
The most important little circle/oval known to mankind.
Thank God it wasn't a chad
let's hope Dominion hasnt flipped it already xD
Yeah. . . I didn't have much confidence in my vote when walking out of there. . .
Are you still voting on a machine? If so, why?
It's a paper ballot that you fill out like a scantron, but then when you're done, they have you insert your paper ballot into a "tabulator" which counts your votes. It's at that point that all my confidence in my vote is lost.
Well, really what choice do you have?
I went from Wisconsin, where they have voter I'd, but machines
To Colorado where I can only vote by mail.
So much bs.
We HAVE to reelect Trump to fix this once and for all!!
It's irritating when people say, "Watch the machines and make sure they're not flipping votes." Conservatives should be insisting on paper ballots, so how would they know what the machines are doing? If they're still using the voting machines, then they haven't been paying attention and maybe we deserve to have the election stolen from us. I just don't understand what's wrong with people.
Same. And my stepmother just moved to Filton County, GA. She filled in rhe circle to vote against Fani Willus with such gusto she said she had to control herself to stay in rhe circle so it wouldn't be taken as a mistake.
