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.

Well, it's Friday here in Japan, my fellow frogs. Before the election, my daughter was playing a game on a website called Slither.io that's like the old Snake game I used to play on my friend's Atari 800 computer in the early '80s. This one is modern and is an online game. Before the election, you could play Trump vs. Kamala, red and blue teams. For a while red was winning, then for a while blue was winning. She died and switched sides to the blue team. I asked her why she switched to the blue team and she said, "I've joined the Illuminati!" HA! She cracks me up. I wonder where she gets her sense of humor from?
It's Friday, so she suggested that we celebrate the election of Literally Hitler with ordering some pizzas tonight. The pizza place is right across the street from work, so I'll buy them before we go home. Then next year after Trump executes Liz Cheney by firing squad for being a dumb bitch and arrests every single black and gay person in America and exterminates them, building a death fortress out of human skulls and causing the weather to rain blood across America next year, we'll celebrate again with more pizzas. MAGA!
(At least, isn't this what the hysterical women uploading videos of themselves screaming in their cars on TikTok believe will happen?)
Why are the videos always in cars? It’s strange.
I'm so glad we're both working from home; I really don't want to be dodging liberal nutjobs every morning and afternoon for weeks.
It really is a strange phenomenon. Maybe it's because they don't want their neighbor to bang on the wall shouting, "shut up, BITCH!"
Babylon Bee on point:

Oh crap, I've gotta watch that movie again! I haven't seen it in 30 years or more. I had a coworker from Chicago moaning about this movie and Mr. Baseball and how "racist" they are. So I watched Mr. Baseball, which I also hadn't seen since high school, and enjoyed it. Yeah, the main character starts out as a bigot. It's called a character arch, duh. He grows as a person.
Yes... exactly Steve!
LoL... forgot about that one! Gung Ho!
I'll raise you...John Pinette @ Water Park

Oh, and probably also Trump will open an interdimensional portal and summon a legion of Eldritch Abominations to roam the countryside, each with 9000EXP and over 9999HP, to hunt down every Democrat who doesn't agree with him. You know, because... reasons.
5000 xp for using the word Eldritch. You leveled up fren
Liz Cheney is an Eldritch Abomination in larval form. CHANGE MY MIND.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 she got antennae for eyelashes
ARE YOU SAYING WE MAGATS SUMMONED THE DEMON LORD?
Where do you like your pizza in Japan?
Actually, my town has a Japanese chain called Pizza-La. It's... nominal. It's alright, but expensive. Dominoes, believe it or not, is actually pretty good, but it's in the bigger city to the south, so i don't get to go down there so often. You'll get a kick out of this: Little Caesar's made an attempt in Japan at the end of the '90s. It was real gourmet stuff... artichoke hearts and all. It failed after a few years though. Very fine pizza though, not that cheese-covered cardboard like Little Caesar's in America.
Have you eaten okonomiyaki yet? If you have, is it any good? I've been wondering about that but wasn't sure if I should give it a try by making it myself or trying to find a local Japanese restaurant that serves okonomiyaki. I live in a semi-rural town so it's hard to find an authentic Japanese restaurant unless I go into the city, which happens seldom.
