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 glanced at the board on my computer screen. My eyes flickered over
General Chat - Inauguration ----down edition 55 days to the inauguration day.
My brain told me
General Chat - Inauguration Meltdown Edition 55 days to the inauguration day.
I thought, oh, hang on. I was wrong.
And then I realized "but am I?"
Bifurcation. Is that the word?
For some of us, its an Inauguration Countdown. But for some on our planet, its an Inauguration Meltdown, 55 days and counting.
Bring it on. Military-grade popcorn stockpiles have been established, and are ready to be deployed.
And, between you and me, I'm pretty much enjoying the meltdown so far.
Proposition
New Temporary Daily (or Semi-permanent) Sticky Post:
Inauguration Meltdown (XX) Days & Counting
.... listing and compiling all the ways that the Deep State, the Minions, the Cabalites and Lefty Loonies are melting down and losing it, day by day.
Hey, I know its a lot to ask, but a frog can dream, can't he?
Carry on. wwg1wga
I mean, its miniscule, but I'll start:
Mika and Whathisface at Morning Joe proceed to visit Trump (formerly Hitler) at Mar-a-lago and say "Oh, we're going to try to be more balanced in our reporting". I.e. they caved and grovelled
LA Times Owner decides to adopt a white suit and fires entire editorial board, pledging balanced coverage going forward
Ellen DeEpstein flees the USA for UK
Ugly Ladies decide to withhold the prospect of sex from (someone), pretending that anyone cares
Etc. Put on your froggy overalls, tadpoles! Add to the list!
I would loved to have been a fly on the wall to hear Joe and Mika beg not to be arrested and perp walked on National TV.
😸
I will happily change the general chat title to meltdown and people can post their compilations of the day. We can see how it goes for a couple days
