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 broke another one at Walmart yesterday. I know Walmart sucks but if I need a hard drive or usb drive I will go in there and get one. I find it fun to purchase electronics from my local Walmart store. I have to ask permission to purchase something because I am viewed as a thief according to the employees. All customers are according to them. So at times they will have an electronic that has one of those magnetic locks around it and therefore I can take it up to the self checkout and pay for it.
I show this to one of the kids on how to allow the other person to break. After I pay for the device it is legally mine and even if they still have it in their magnetic protection… so after I pay for it I ask a worker if they could unlock it for me, she stares at me and walks off. Ok… so I explain to the kid that she is what we consider a NPC or possibly a mRNA vaccine one who has no ability to comprehend aka zombie… I am always very calm. Well another walks into frame because in the self check out area at Walmart it has become a zombie zone of mindless Walmart zombies who will roam in circles with no abiiity to have any expression..
The second one at least started to attempt to take off this magnetic surround and could not figure it out, so I narrate to my kid that is is what a DEI hire is…
The first one attempts to get me to walk my cart into her as I am leaving and I stop and narrate more to the kid about how this one is a NPC and we should be mindful of them as we leave.
She broke.. it was glorious.
One at a time is all we can do.
