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 was let go from an adjunct online teaching job at a community college in my state because I was denied the religious exemption that I applied for. The HR Dept. there is very smug. So I filed a complaint with the State Civil Liberties Dept back in Jan 2022. The school actually hired a lawyer to deal with it (probably cost them more than my semester pay). I had to file so much paperwork for months and have not heard anything back from them since Dec 2022. Well, today I received notice from them that I have been found to have "Probable Cause" and they are scheduling a "Conciliation." I have no idea what that will do for me (someone else has my job) but it feels good to at least hear that I got this far. It was so much paperwork that I wanted to give up. Looking over all that paperwork, I cannot believe I did it.
My brain's exploding.
"FYI, the Hang In There poster is in the show as well. It's when Angela is being tested by wh1tr0se

The shows entire plot overall is about going after the "top 1% of the 1%, the guys who play god without permission"

Here me out... RoaringKitty knows everyone is expecting a 8pm clip to be dropped, but he just posted a goodbye clip at 4pm....
Now that all core systems are on X for this last day, maybe there will be a drop at 8pm exposing our own Deus Group?

As Carbon Dioxide Grows More Abundant, Trees Are Growing Bigger, Study Finds
https://e360.yale.edu/digest/carbon-dioxide-climate-change-bigger-trees
Groundbreaking! Yale University has just discovered photosynthesis:
Trees are feasting on decades of carbon dioxide emissions and growing bigger as a result, according to a new study of U.S. forests. ... “While we’re putting billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, we’re actually taking much of it out just by letting our forests grow,” Sohngen said in a statement. “We should be planting more trees and preserving older ones, because at the end of the day they’re probably our best bet for mitigating climate change.”
Seriously: the fact that a top level "woke" university is admitting this is actually significant. Thin edge of the wedge in displacing the cult of environMENTALism.
