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
Just got back from the grocery store, besides everything costing so much , it makes me feel like I live in a 3rd world country, shortages of this and that.
Here's the thing. While of course its painful, realize that so much of the world has been kept in deliberate poverty by the powers that be. Until you live in a "third world country", it's hard to realize how incredibly opulent beyond understanding our Western societies have been.
Maga has to take place, but then when the Cabal is removed, it will be time for the rest of the world to enjoy the fruits of history as well.
Meanwhile, tighten your belt!
Ex army paratrooper, been to a few 3rd world places.
Good to know.
So you actually know what a 3rd world country is like.
I once lived for a period of time in a nation where the capital "city" was a town of no more than 20k population, the vast majority of who lived in shanty-like dwellings. More than 80% of the population in that country didn't even have access to electricity. Many were unable to send anyone but the favored child to a high school.
When I returned periodically to Aus, it hit me like a shovel in the face. Just watching the TV adds.... I wish more could have those experiences, because most of us in 'developed' nations simply don't know how extremely lucky we are, and how much we really have.
I know what you mean… I couldn’t even find a very common watering head in the irrigation department of Home Depot today. Just something very simple.
Why don't WE protect the schools? I keep thinking that if these school shootings had happened on the frontier that parents with shotguns would be on every corner of the school building. Why aren't parents stepping up? Why on EARTH would we be waiting on government to do something or to fix the problem they created? Why don't we?
Your right!

They’d get arrested by the commies protecting their false flag operations
So? Are the kids not worth getting arrested?
To be vigilant against all potential shootings you’d have to be there every school day. The first day that you show up on school grounds with a rifle, they will arrest you. No big deal? Well while you’re in jail the school is unprotected. If cabal are orchestrating a false flag, they might choose exactly that day, to take advantage of the distraction you already caused. As for you, your rifle will be confiscated and you’ll get a restraining order to keep you away from the school even when you’re unarmed. You’ll get charged and probably convicted of something like trespassing with a deadly weapon, and possibly making terroristic threats, on your criminal record. If you have a mainstream employer, the arrest could get you fired. The record could hurt your chances of another job.
If you have time to guard a school all day everyday, why not just spend that time homeschooling? Keep your kids out of the commie school system and keep yourself out of the commie criminal system.
I am suggesting a mass organization of all parents to cover shifts, not one person. Where there is a will to protect the kids there IS a way vs excuses.
Each would be arrested at the start of a shift. The commies would never let you accomplish your open vigilante network on commie turf. They would pull out all stops and feel justified in doing it. It’s not unreasonable to be skeptical of volunteers who say they’re there for the kids, so the local commies would be able to drum up media and federal support. Your group of parents would have to be willing to fight Civil War 2. If they don’t win the war, then you’d have a bunch of good parents whose lives are screwed to the point of not being able to accomplish the mission anyway.
Short of homeschooling, a compromise I can think of for you would be a non-cabal private school with a capable, non-cabal security team. Unfortunately, the non-cabal aspect is a big ask these days.
I am not talking about vigilantes. I am talking about organized groups who FIGHT for "permission" and keep fighting until they get it. The whole point is we shouldn't have to even ask for permission to protect kids but since they aren't going to do it we should be doing it.
This crisis crap continues because we do nothing. The words passive and parent should never be in the same sentence.
Earlier you wrote, “So? Are the kids not worth getting arrested?”.
That was a pretty pro-vigilante statement. Then here you wrote ‘I am not talking about vigilantes. I am talking about organized groups who FIGHT for "permission”’.
If they got permission, then they wouldn’t get arrested. Seems like some goalpost shifting.
If you’re turning it into a political “fight”, then why not just advocate for school choice?
People aren’t just doing nothing. Homeschooling is breaking records. People are still politically pushing for school choice, the dismantling of the Dept of Education, and for the defunding of the government indoctrination centers.
Question about NAC. I had my step sister order some for me. She ordered the 600mg, with selenium and molybdenum. Is this the correct kind? I do Not shop online ever! So, was just wanting to make sure. Thank ya'll.
Off-topic, can anyone recommend a non-woke watch that’s good for physical-labor working types? Minimal metal preferred as I have to go through a metal detector every day for work. Some metal can go through, not sure the specifics. (Keys and key ring seem to work, my movement watch went through just fine). Looking for a digital watch as well for timing (if the need arises). *Power plant worker.
If not metal free enough, quick on/off for security speed reasons.
Casio surprisingly doesn’t seem woke/ perverted. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Roast/salt you some nuts/almond to eat with: the texture mix is too die for.🥳😋
Whenever I make grilled cheese for my son, I let extra cheese melt around it, and then eat it directly, crunchy and nice.
My daughter does this (learned it from me), but that little genius makes them specifically to add to her hot ham and cheeses. Adds a delicious crunch, she claims.
Yeah, putting the crunchy cheese as an additional layer in any sandwich is fantastic. Your daughter is a genius.
Keto is love. Keto is life. Carnivorous diet is even better! My wife kicked me off the keto train, been getting fatter since.
I did KETO very earnestly last year at this time (<25 carbs). Lost nearly 20 lbs and have kept most off since (am at perfect weight still). KETO is easy to do in the summer, but dang, I want the carbs in the winter!
You must be lactose intolerant
Usually aged and hard cheeses.
I have a political idea:
The WEIGHT act:
Weight Expenses Implying Greater Home Timeliness
Imagine someone asking to send 20 billions for Iron Dome/Zelensky’s makeup after East Palestine catastrophe destroyed a local ecosystem… yet imagine this openly debated.
Great common sense.
The priority Congress SHOULD have is We The People they serve. What a concept!
Joke. No, seriously. Joke.

Wat genchat
"genchat" is the term that I believe rooftop coined (at least, I first saw it in a comment by rooftop) to refer to
General Chat
aka the post in which you and I are currently participating.
Ur welcome.
What story will break this week that will put the bank failure stories out of the public’s memory hole? How many are still talking about East Palestine?
Only one IMHO: get ready for the Holy Week.🙏🏻
