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.

I do hope you know what Amazon and Ebay really are.
Vehicles to crush real businesses
Vehicles to gobble up real assets
Facilitate trafficking
Enable flooding markets with cheap overseas products
Important reminder, thanks! I don’t make a high salary, but I make sure that I purchase some products I need from entrepreneurs who have been oppressed by the establishment elitist “vaxx-pushers” so that I can help out good nutritionist real businesses.
Yeah, Amazon and Ebay has definitely helped local entrepreneurs, but they are constantly under pressure to reduce prices which forces them to cut corners.
What we need is a replacement of these sites, which do not have any Clown connections, and does not have a unfair deals for free shipping.
Actually distributed, "local Amazon", focused on local businesses will encourage entrepreneurs everywhere to compete and run prosper!
I think we will have those replacements in the coming years, excellent statement of what we need!
Clarification from me (as I get my writing skills sharpened here): I avoid Amazon as much as possible and make my health purchases directly from small businesses, nutritionists entrepreneurs, directly from their websites, avoiding Amazon.
Me too, I try to buy stuff directly where possible. In many cases its very hard, sadly.
