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 evoloving
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
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers here. Your labor of love as mothers is appreciated and you are amazing 💐
I was just watching Julie Green. I really like her and she helps motivate me and gives hopium.

Gawwwd. One thing is for sure about Elon, we don't know exactly what he's up to - HOWEVER that's not the point here. The point is I used Twitter as an example of a company that was able to get rid of tons of useless people with libtard 20-something chick earlier today - bad example as this instantly triggered a bunch of observations about how stupid he is, how he fucked up Twitter, how he's run it into the ground and had to hire this new CEO to try to save it, etc etc.
This was at front desk of my climbing gym, and this particular person is not only brilliant enough to think she knows everything including apparently censorship being a good idea, but she has stomach issues from something she picked up in the Peace Corps in Africa*. It's like if you're not smart enough to maybe have changed your tune about leftist bullshit altruism after that, maybe you shouldn't be commenting on Musk's intelligence from behind the front desk.
I was going to "circle back" and ask her what countries she can name where censorship worked out well but when I left she was helping some guy with new member registration type stuff....
Edit: the context of how this came up was the gym has trimmed some redundant management positions and I observed yeah that's going on all over the place.
*Edit 2: I mean to the level I'd call it a disability, how limited she is in what she can eat as well as the effects if she "cheats."
Beautiful Mothers Day in the South. Sending love to all you wonderful Mothers. ❤️
Sending love today my frens! ❤️ Be Blessed!!
During the town hall, President Trump indicated that E. Jean Carroll's cat's name was Vagina. Unfortunately, I need to offer a correction. According to Dave from his X22 Report on Friday, the cat's correct name is Vagina T. Fireball.
Help me
Happy Mother's Day!
As I scroll through Gate Way Pundit, I’m shocked at how many stories include “33”. Seems like everyone in their 30’s is 33. Victim’s, criminals, AOC’s former staffer that is now a Communist party leader. It’s everyday and it’s enough to be obvious, I have even read articles covering the same story, their age is reported as 32, but on Gateway Pundit they’re 33. Any thoughts?
They're trying to pervert one of the purest numbers. The number 3 has been used by christians for thousands of years as a symbol of the Trinity's perfection. It cannot be divided, it stands alone. 333 is used frequently in the drops as well.
These demons want to poison the internet by perverting god's purity!
Cooking corner, French version. You don’t really need to understand French to enjoy this video of a French chef cooking a fat duck à la Royale: https://youtu.be/_3stn5S4DOo 😋
Sounds expensive but it looks incredibly tasty!
Years ago I worked as a cook at a cafe that had a French chef. One day I did the breakfast shift and mistakenly used a big stainless container of what I thought was "clarifed butter" to make omelets. It turns out it was duck fat. The chef was not pleased!
I'm salivating. Duck fat sounds delicious
I love duck, but it must be cooked outdoors, roasted, in a pan . The few times I tried, the smoke !!!!!! Open doors and windows in northern Vermont in December or November takes away from the Joy of Cooking.
I love duck too! One of my absolute favs
Wow. How was that for a week? Whew. So many narrative bombs.
DJT (Unjust) Jury Decision, CNN Townhall, Twiffle CEO, US Debt Financial Crisis collapse continues, Banks going under, CIA being more and more exposed (eg. RFK jr), etc.
And, tomorrow it all starts again...
so fun!
Did Ye bend the knee with the whole milo thing? Wtf
Certain people, including a few who claim to be on our side, push the "labor theory of value," which says that a currency should be backed by the labor of the people.
Please tell me why this is bullshit. I know it is, but cannot articulate how.
I'll leave it to someone far better than I to explain fully.
Ayn Rand - Francisco's Money Speech
Wow, it's true--she WAS infamous for ridiculously-long monologues that grind the narrative to a halt.
The Money Speech works in the context of the scene, it's fantastic. It actually hits the right balance in my view. Galt's speech (and to an extent Roark's) is too long. By a lot. So yes it's a valid criticism, but only a literary one not a philosophical one. And the importance of her work in THAT area is the important part, NOT her actually being not good literature. This is the classic bullshit argument (I mean this is Wizard of Oz level straw man) meant to invalidate her IDEAS.
I downpooted because you are clearly and in my opinion deliberately doing that last bit. I would not downpoot if I thought you were simply making an innocent error.
Oh, don't get me wrong, he is absolutely correct.
But at some point, you want something else to actually move the plot along. You almost start wanting some character to draw his gun, point it at the guy on the soapbox, and yell "GET IT OVER WITH!"
Ish. I think it's a valid criticism of the long speeches, but FSM fits just right.
Its is not bullshit, and if done correctly, I do think its the only real way to create a currency. Human labor is the only thing of real value. Everything else has value simply because people chose to assign it value to it.
But I agree, if not done correctly it will just give rise to more shenanigans, but thats true for everything.
Sunday Club - Paladian Dawn
Note: I consider this entire genre to be generally insipid, but there are rare DANG tracks.
Edit: I feel the same way about deep house
Lol, ayy mate I've been missing ya choon selektionz. 😅
Agree with you about this genre in general; to me it rarely has any staying power unless it's something you heard and loved as a kid. My phone speaker definitely didn't do it justice, but... Let's say I didn't hear this one as a kid. 😉 I do enjoy the whoosy ambient opening tho.
And the term Deep House seems to have lost much of it's original meaning. Just rediscovering that scene a bit via twitch and a lot of what I hear is more like minimal trance, slowed down. Early 90s deep house feels light-years different. TBF, I enjoy both more than most trance.
On the topic of trance I liked as a youth that I look back on and think "that's aged like milk"
B.B.E. - 7 Days and One Week - at least it has a tiny bit of swing 😅
It's on my mind because an old friend, who knows I used to love the original, recently shared The Yotto Extended Mix with me. Not sure how I feel about that one either.
Trance. 🙄
BBE lol never heard it but as soon as I saw "Positiva"....
The "Yotto" mix is decent, tones all the shit down basically.
Deep house for me is like country, just not enough going on to be interesting...redundant vs repetitive...trance at least has more melody even if dumb....Then there's "psy" which is like the Dream Theatre of electronica...pointless...edit: and the whitest dance music ever except maybe Happy Hardcore (also pointless)

According to all stickies this is the 356'th General Chat for.. you've had. in 9 days you'll have done it for a year.
first post was almost a year ago: https://greatawakening.win/p/15HvPsjtiP/x/c/
Wow, that's one heck of a general fact.
I wonder, if some years and years down the line from here, someone will publish a book called
"The Best of General Chat"
Subtitle: "Insights Into the Anon World From the Great Awakening.Win board"
I love the general chat. That’s one of the main reasons I come here.
It's the comics section of the old newspapers for me. Absolutely essential. 😃
It's perfect for random questions that you don't feel deserve their own topic, or would get taken down if they WERE made posts because they're not really Q related.
Me too!
Hey, that's awesome! Wtg fren!
