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 saw this today about her:
In 1974, Serbian performance artist Marina AbramoviΔ staged Rhythm 0, a six-hour performance in Naples, Italy, that became one of the most controversial works in the history of performance art. Standing completely still, she invited the audience to use any of 72 objects on her however they wished, from a rose and feather to razor blades, knives, and even a loaded gun.β β At first, visitors were gentle, offering flowers and kisses. But as the hours passed, the atmosphere turned violent. Her clothes were cut away, her skin was sliced with razor blades, rose thorns were pressed into her stomach, and she was subjected to humiliation.β β When the performance ended, and AbramoviΔ began walking toward the audience, many fled rather than face her as a person again.β β Reflecting on the experience, she later said, "What I learned was that if you leave it up to the audience, they can kill you." β β Rhythm 0 became a defining work of modern art, exploring power, violence, responsibility, and the darker side of human behavior. More than 50 years later, it remains one of history's most disturbing and influential performance piece
Servers get server pay which is below minimum wage of other workers and also the shitty servers skate on the backs of the good servers. My great niece worked at a Barbecue restaurant and averaged 8 bucks an hour. Thatβs piss poor pay compared to what a server at a non-commie restaurant makes.
