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
anyone good with numbers; scroll down for population numbers from 1700 til present time/see how it jumps at one point? Assuming that's Not normal & wondering what our population 'should' be if it wasn't manipulated?🤔
https://ourworldindata.org/world-population-growth-past-future
That line isn't the population, it's the growth rate.
That was during the baby boom of the 1950's in the US. I'd guess many of the other major countries having similar outcomes after the war ended and everyone wanted to screw again
just saw this one...

FYI… I heard back from the PDW mod regarding the stalker. They’re sending it up the chain.
The stalker has been suspended!
Praise the Lord!
That's good. I didn't like reading that.
Here’s the latest but I’m a fighter.

Wow. The smiles on those lads faces. The smiles..... Wow.
That's awesome.
I’m headed out to my ketamine infusion for depression. Just wanted to give a shout out to this treatment. If anybody is suffering from treatment, resistant depression, and you’re feeling lost during those difficult times, I can say that ketamine has changed my entire life.
With my continued faith in Christ, and these ketamine treatments, my life is springing forth all manner of new happy experiences. I have a job now pet sitting, which is just the best job I’ve ever had. It’s such a joy in a pleasure to be around so many different animals. I’m able to interact with people, go to church, Womens Bible Study, and many other activities. I even get to live in Kauai part time now, housesitting, and pet sitting for my family. I am truly blessed.
Despite all the difficulties in the world right now, I can honestly say I’m living my best life. I hope others are having the same experience. God bless each, and everyone of you, thank you for being my FRENS, and have a fantastic day.
(if you have any questions regarding the ketamine infusions, please feel free to ask here in the thread, or DM, me) except for needz2BSaid Lol! Ha ha Ha
This is my go to video/Music.
https://youtu.be/VReCpkav3RY
This video really works for me, especially because I live in Hawaii part time and when I’m there I swim with the turtles five days a week. They’re my spirit animal. What is the music that really guide you through a ketamine treatment.
Most of the time my eyes are closed, because I go on a whole trip. And I made a big trip. So it’s the music that really guides me. But if I get to a dark spot, I can open my eyes and see the turtles swimming, and it really helps me to refocus. Also, my Christian faith is what guides my treatments as well. If you get into a dark spot, I just call on the name of Christ, and he gets me out of it.
The thing is… When I was young, I used to live in Huntington Beach, California, back in the day when Timothy Leary was knocking about. I did a lot of acid, so doing the ketamine treatments was not a stretch for me. I think people who’ve never done Hallucinogenics can find them terrifying, and that’s understandable. But with me, I just press in. It’s changed my life.
You are amazing, so positive. Glad the treatment is helping. God bless.
Thanks friend. It is my goal to take this job, and my positive attitude, and put some money aside. Headed your way! It may take me a year or so, but I want to come to the Cotswolds. We will have so much fun together - baking, and making jam, etc..
If its meant to be, the Lord will bring it to pass. I will happily show you all the sights, you may even get to see our bluebell wood :)
Well, that sounds awesome. I’m really looking forward to it. May start planning in advance. I’ll keep you posted.
:)
Something about chickens coming home to roost comes to mind. More and more there are those who look like they are desperate: https://freebeacon.com/democrats/whitmer-admits-her-covid-restrictions-didnt-make-a-lot-of-sense/
No deals.
Ya think?
It was just "a little more" than they needed to do.
"maybe".
Whitmer is a deluded and insufferable parsnip.
GO GIRL!

Love it!
Small thing. My updoot of the GC thread rarely seems to "stick", as in it disappears next time I check GAW. Rarely, if ever, does this for other threads.
Conclusion: THE MAN is trying to keep General Chat down. Death blossom time!
Its called being under the blessing: serve God, follow Jesus and you will be blessed.
I've always been under the impression that "luck" is perspective based and isn't a consistent thing you can show. Give a guy a glass of water in the desert, and he'll get on his hands and knees and start praying. Give him one in the middle of a hurricane, and he'll probably get pissed off about it.
good one/there was a Q drop with a great video/had a Rush song, but I can't remember how to find it
There's no supernatural luck.
Just quantum randomness and probability distribution.
Except for the Irish. They have luck, both good and bad. And it can't be explained by science! Maybe they make their own luck, I dunno. Haven't figured out the folk from the emerald isle.
^^^ there's a thousand ways to say it but that sums it up. No luck, perspective.
I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

If it wasn’t for the shitpost flair, I was going to try to buy movie tickets to see You’ve Got Male
I try to put them on mine because they are shitposts and I like the flair. I simply forgot this time.
I am not of the belief the flair is needed
Or /s when saying things
Like one time I was talking about sex and theocracy and someone replied saying they thought teenagers should literally be killed for having sex
But this entire forum can sometimes be a giant whoosh slide
I confess I don't understand that meme/gif whatever. So to me its literal shitpost, but thats just me 😅
you mean that's not Sandra Bullock?😱
and DB is painful to watch anymore. she needs edibles/something to calm her down.
definitely & I do mean that in a helpful way. I used to be more animated from stress when I was younger; leads to health issues & cannabis products have really been the best so far.
Hmmmm. I guess I'm a latecomer to shitposting, but I always thought that a shitpost was a post that was usually kinda funny but irreverent, irrelevant, and well, basically farting around.
Solid memes shouldn't really be shitposts, imo.
Then, there was the time when the Catmeister V switched out "shitpost" for "kekpost", so there's that. (It did get changed back, obviously.)
What do you think of this « sky event »?

Couple months ago a "comet" was heading for the sun before it changed direction and accelerated away.
Lots of interesting anomalies found since the solar satellites were put into orbit...
Serious question: wasn’t Elon Musk supposed to unveil some life changing new energy production technology this month?
He said he was making a life changing announcement for humanity, and it turned out to be that he was moving his Tesla factory to Mexico. It bummed me out.
That always reminds me of when Dean Kamen was going to reveal life changing tech on live TV
Me and a lot of people on conspiracy forums at the time it would be the water engine but it ended up being the segway...
Always felt they put a gun to his head to scrap the real invention and he pulled the segway out as a cover
Your answer just reminded me of this: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=segway_more_complicated_than_it_needs_to_be
Oh snap I didn't realize these started near exactly at midnight est.
...on that subject, anyone have advice for insomnia?

AND
Turn off all wi-fi and put your phone into airplane mode and turn OFF phone wi-fi OR put it into Faraday bag or leave it outside your bedroom. Electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) are extremely disruptive to sleep cycles. This is in addition to the screen blue light being disruptive to sleep cycles. https://mosequipment.com/products/mission-darkness-non-window-faraday-bag-for-phones
If only. I'm on call some weeks, phone has to wake me up in the middle of the night if something's wrong. Wi-fi has to stay on for other reasons too. No, I'm well and truly shackled to tech to make a living for now. Still, I suppose less phone use before bed would help. Thanks!
Understood. You will see some benefit by at least keeping the phone across the room and just turning up the ring volume. EMF radiation drops as a square of the distance to the device.
Sleep is very overrated lol.
Pretty sure bubble_bursts is on Kiwi time.
I agree, and have always thought they do this to confuse us internally. just want it to stay the same all year.
I only go to bed when I am falling asleep. Make your nights 10-15% shorter during the working week so your body will beg you for sleep without you losing any productivity.
