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.

Glad you are still doing this. I celebrate Christmas well past new years
Tornados on the ground in east Texas/ Louisiana .
Be aware if you live in those areas.
Now the panic has turned to "will they certify?"
Yep. Have you ever watched a thriller ? You know the villain will be captured by the hero, but still, every scene we sit on the edge of our seats being scared that the hero will get killed.
To be fair, a lot of us had the same question exactly 4 years ago!
I'm much smarter now. I know something crazy will happen, but I'm quite certain I don't know what it will be.

Interestingly.
Am I the only one who is rolling my eyes at the drama involving Elon Musk and his recent comments?
Elon and V's entitled to their opinion. However, they are not the ones running the immigration side of things, so they are not the final judge on what is to be done with H1-B visas. That will be up to Trump.
I am thinking that this is a psy-op to destroy DOGE and one of Trump's keystone promises to the people.
Trump has also spoken positively about skilled immigration. People tend to see everything as black and white. They confuse the weaponisation of something with that same thing and judge everything accordingly. Trump is the only one who can find that fine balance, and still have enough support.
The fact is, once the whole world is free, no one is gonna care about immigrating and every country will be fighting hard to out compete others and attract the brightest people.
Great Awakening will be tough in the beginning for a lot of people. In the meantime, those who complain can continue to complain until the full picture emerges.
Maybe it’s a way to cushion the blow of Tom Homan’s ICE and mass deportations. Plus it’s a way of saying yeah sure, if you have skills and are cool and nice and will benefit our society come over. Compared to oily and smelly dudes smoking cigs with no education, just looking to commit crime.
It’s definitely a psyop to break up the Avengers.
What's interesting to me is that people speak up about what the incoming administration says. No one is blindly following anyone, which is cool.
Trouble in paradise already. But hey dad is home and he will smack down the kids geez. I’m going to lunch blessings to you all
