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.

was at the bowling alley with the youngest and his friend. all of a sudden a guy shows up and is speaking gibberish. my kid and his friend are packing up. the guy is speaking gibberish and changing topics within the gibberish and all of a sudden wants a hug. He is wanting to get raw reactions to his gibberish.
my goal is to keep the kids reaction down, why, off in the back this guy has another recording the interaction. in just a millisecond I was aware of this. these guys were black. I gave him a fist bump, maybe I should have gave him a hug. he was very tall and sweaty. the sweaty is gross to me. plus the impression of this guy is to attempt to catch people and exploit it.
I do not care they are doing this. open recording and live life is something I like better than fake news and fake shows. We just need to be more aware of this and try and help kids not say something that will live forever on the Internet. Many at the bowling alley drink and it is a private business. This could be a tactic to exploit money off of people. Nothing I can do and I will not tell the business. It is only exposing the demise of this bowling alley. we are in a democratic hell hole and for those who need money they will conjure up all sorts of tactics. haha
