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
im seeing a lot of AI memes of presidents debating random stuff on youtube lately and while the memes are funny,
joe biden being competent and being able to speak normally is jarring to say the least
usually obama being chill and trump being cheapass/richass
these are making labels for the presidents and all the memes are enforcing the shallow and down right "normie" image of the 2016/2020 cpac debate barely any hunter biden or all the failures of biden from recent years used in the memes
they all or mostly painting joe biden competent and trump as the butt of the joke
the meme wars are only getting stronger with AI and i'll post a AI video when i got some ideas for them to counter act trump being the butt of the joke
Notced this as well, at least among the "mainstream" meme videos. Have encountered a refreshingly retarded sounding Biden AI on twitch TTS.
When DJT said the department of Energy says covid came from wuhan lab, he said like he didn't know of them or their exact name... lol... I think we are getting close to him being asked Who is Q....
That will be a glorious day!! Can’t wait for that question to be asked. I wonder who will be the one to buck up and ask?
Trump should win 2024. if for nothing but give him a fair chance at what he won, because he is clearly still up for it. But if he gets in the trials need to start.
People are searching for vax detox links. Can someone help by posting . Thanks
You can probably find them on any of Dr Robert Malone’s social media sites. He’s on Gettr for sure, not sure about Truth. I read something on his Substack a week or so ago.
Thanks , doin a little red pilling. I directed them here.
Note to Board:
We have such good pedes*.

Just wanted to vent again.
I really hate normies.
This old school mate of mine, she is two years younger than me, still single while I have been married for ten years. She has two degrees and has traveled the world but her brain is still all but two brain cells that I am not sure even work
But in spite of all this, she reposts "wisdom" from twitter that I consider to simply be divisive and completely ignorant of what is actually happening. Telling people to make "investments" and believe in the financial system as it is. Putting "education" on a pedestal and not one mention of God, the soul, or the well being of the mind and spirit
I barely if ever talk to her, so I don't feel right saying one day "Julie, shut up, you're only single because you became a woke libtard who thinks she is a #bossbabe"
And Julie, the world is a beautiful place, but your self important smug attitude about your BS travels makes me think I'd be quite happy to never see anything past our beautiful USA
Let it out sister! Feels good to vent about unintelligent people that think otherwise. But for your own sanity, let her go. She don’t deserve you.
You need new friends 🐸
'tis good, 'tis substantive, that a grief be vexed, and vented.
Yet let not such grief stymie thy heart
to close such doors as the Creator saw fit to open
For Love, it cometh in, and goeth out, and those who know not the nonce of it
alas, they languish in the realms of want.
They sense not the thing, the very thing, that waits for them, beckoning
Love is here for thee. Won't you partake?
And tears are shed, for such as those.
They want, but never find. They thirst, but never drink.
Let Love be that which opens you, to them,
that they may one day, some distant day, find the way
To be open, and to find.
And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.
The ignorance of the ignorant is their punishment.
They can end it when they choose to be not ignorant anymore.
Best thing to do with people like that is to stay away from them, for our own sanity.
shut the !¥<# up, Julie
That day, when Markus reappears on the board.
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
Today marks 70 years of Joseph Vissarionovitch Djugatchvili’s being declared dead. He was also known as Stalin.
He was an interesting dude
And just a little bit satanic, but I digress....
Actually my analysis has been that he was fighting against the Khazarians
Doesn't mean he warn't satanic. Satan's kingdom is one of division, factions and evil conflict.
I just finished watching (The Chosen). Wow, I wish everyone would watch it. It really touched my heart.
My brother just dropped off seasons one and two. We may watch today!
It's amazing how well done it is. Good source material, I suppose.
Agree, it's incredibly moving! Just watched the episode about Mark 5:21, where the "unclean" woman touches His robe and is healed.
Not ashamed to say it brought tears...again.
I do not say that I can not stand a person too often... Except Biden... That does not really count.. BUT AOC just rubs me the completely wrong way!
I have made multiple 'new posts' but they never seem to end up in the "new" section. Does this happen to anyone else here?
Yes, new users get their posts filtered until the build up some karma by commenting. You can always tag a mod if you think your post is high quality. I did manually approve your latest post since it does look interesting.
On that note, perhaps it might be useful to have a "Newbie" flair or "Newcomer" flair for those who are handshakes and/or have not accumulated much Karma.
This would highlight such pedes to the board, particularly those watching the NEW section, such that we could observe, and encourage with specific updoodles if warranted, or (erg) ignore and perhaps downvote if the quality is sub-par.
Without such a flag/flair, with only a handshake (which I think appears in the comments, but not on posts?) one doesn't really know any user from a bar of soap unless one checks out their profile.
The idea here is to have some mechanism by which we can give good encouragement to upcomings, to newcomers who want to contribute, if and when it is warranted. Sometimes it's hard to get traction when the board is so busy, when slides are going on (ashland, I'm talking to you! But I mean that in a positive way, not a negative one), or when your posts aren't noticed.
Sometimes a little encouragement provided in the right time and the right way could really boost potential contributors, and help newcomers feel appreciated or welcomed (if warranted, of course), inspiring them to become more active.
u/catsfive ? mods?
Or am I off the reservation with this one?
Valet? Where is my car?
Ashland delivers a lot of quality stuff. And, he's been hounding hounds in order to deliver said stuff to the board.
Top kudos for the effort, u/ashlanddog
Nonetheless, when a stream of 10+ posts hits New, it can tend to slide things. As one who tends to post at that exact time period (?), I notice this sort of thing.
Whatcha gonna do? Dogs will be dogs.
Updoodle for "updoodles."
This is the way.
I don't think this is a bad idea, but would be a nightmare to implement.
eh? Just add a flair that says "newcomer" or such. Can be added by the one doing the post, etc.
I didn't mean an automated flair. Yeah, that sounds like it would be gnarly.
But maybe it's just pie-in-the-sky thinking. 'sok. Nothing lost.
then every shill will add the flair
<gulp>
Ah. I relinquish the ground. 'twas but a dream, and nothing more....
I've been a user for 2 years and have had my posts show in new before... Unfortunately now the post is 5 hours old and still doesn't show in New for me and will probably gain little traction. It's a shame because I felt it should be explored more by the users here.
What was it about?
Note to Tyler: 'karma' (points) are not accrued by time of account held, but by contributions being upvoted by fellow pedes.
Thanks
