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
I’ll drop this old quote and hopefully explain why.
I believe too few people are aware of the extent, the breadth, and the depth of the advances which have been made in recent decades in the behavioral sciences...the increasing power for control which it give will be held by someone or some group; such an individual or group will surely choose the purposes or goals to be achieved; and most of us will then be increasingly controlled by means so subtle we will not even be aware of them as controls... it appears that some form of completely controlled society...is coming.

I’m exhausted so forgive my ramble, Lost work so I’ll try to recreate something.
I’ve had a theory on brainwashing that could be used against us and it is so subtle that it would require a computer to decode what is be long suggested to to population. Much like having to build a computer that could send the German code in order to retrieve a message.
To understand how covert the suggestion could be... There was a experiment that went something like this. People were repeatedly shown a video of someone saying “Ba” then repeatedly shown someone saying “Ga”. When that was installed in the brain the subject was shown a video where he heard the person saying “Ba” but visually (lip reading) the person was saying “”Ga”. When asked, the subject said he heard “Da”.
Anyone who has tried to learn a new language as an adult will say that the way we understand spoken words is nothing but imperfect. The brain fills in most of the sounds simply based on what it expects would fit in that sentence.
When you stat learning a new language, this becomes very obvious. You can listen to a very slowly spoken well enunciated sentence, and yet struggle to pick up the exact sounds in the beginning. It even feels like it is impossible to learn the language.
However, after learning for a while and practicing listening and speaking you will slowly find your brain picking up the sounds without effort.
I would claim that the mechanisms of how the brain picks up sounds is probably very different from the brainwashingmechanisms.
What you said about very subtle brainwashing is perfectly on the spot though. All you have to do is go back and watch old TV shows, even something that felt completely benign like The Office or Parks and Rec, and you will realise the subtle brainwashing that takes place.
For instance, I was shocked to realise that in the show The Office, the main characters Jim and Pam were actually pretty awful human beings, and the one always made fun of - Dwight - never did anything wrong.
In Parks and Rec, the most based character - Ron Swanson - who tells all the right things about government, gold, individualism etc, is used to subtly push towards radical feminism - without the audience even realising it. The entire show has only a few instances where that happens, and yet the viewer is left with a much softer feeling about feminism than when they started.
I would love to discuss specific brainwashing techniques, both micro an macro, if you have analysed any.
Speaking of macro - I noticed when I started watching old 40s-60s movies recently that every one of them subtly glorified adultery. Much like how in 80s-90s they slowly normalized lgbt and ramped up the speed in the end, or after 2000s they really started normalising very slutty behaviour.
If this method of suggestion is not already being used against us it surely will with the advancement of A.I. This may be a brand new battleground that can be influenced or exposed. Just pointing at the break in the wall. Not sure how to fix it.
That’s all for now
Ok, on Tucker Carlson tonight “opening monologue” he played RFK Jr., go to bitchute it’s there. Now look at the top right while RFK Jr. speaks. I know it’s crazy but my first thought was “that’s John Mcaffee”. Wow that looks like him. Nuts I know. Check it out tell me what you think.
How did the parking garage collapse disappear so quickly from the news cycle?
Couldn’t blame it on us.
like the the black teens that killed a pregnant mother... The MSM will not touch the one or two victims issue..
Question:
Is it acceptable here to post links to images in the comments (memes) And if so what image hosting site is the best to use here?
Ive been awol for a while
Thanks in advance.
I remember you! Your username is so cute. I don’t post videos here, so I don’t have any advice. Just wanted to say hi.
Thanks for that! I really like this community. Just had a bad run in and caught up in the injustice system for a year.
"Sewing division" (should be sowing)
I'm guilty of that one.

Anyone ever wonder if this relatively new push on transsexuality is just pushing budding homosexuals, be it male or female, to be irrevocably locked in early in life to that reality? Who does a trans man want to date? A woman. Who does a trans woman want to date? A man. Isn't that really just homosexuality? Just curious. "Not that there's anything wrong with that." (Seinfeld)
Not "just" but also creating expensive, sterile, perpetual adolescents who are weak, unhappy, mentally unstable, and easily filled with hate. Their violence will be used and eventually they'll be discarded, hated in turn by all sides.
Great description. Regressing them back to the latency period. Something akin to peter pan syndrome.
That's it! Munchausen Peter Pan Syndrome by Proxy!
There is a movement within the radical trans community that essentially says that gays are actually supposed to undergo sex change since they are really trans, but are too transphobic to do so. If you give it enough time you will see the alphabets coming to fight against each other in no time.
AI Corner
There is a new project that uses the popular free LLM model called Vicuna to analyse images: https://minigpt-4.github.io/
Let me know if anyone is interested in regular technical discussions about AI models and what you would like to talk about.
After hearing Elon Musk talking to Tucker Carlson, my husband said that with what Elon was saying about the AI taking over the world and becoming the downfall of civilization by ruling the world as a God, he saw this once on an episode of Star Trek with William Shatner called, 'The Landrew Episode.' It's where a computer rules the world. I may have to look it up and see if I can watch it myself.
Former Trek fan here. It's spelled "Landru," but yes.
The episode is "The Return of the Archons."
Genocidal AIs are a surprisingly common theme in Trek, even in the 1960s...it became a bit of a gag in Lower Decks. Landru even briefly shows up again.
Though I should note that there are benevolent AIs there as well, most famously Data, but also the Exocomps.
Thank you, I will tell my husband.
And of course the Borg are basically militant transhumans controlled by an AI.
Question:
Do anyone here have pictures and videos of storms, Donald Trump in a storm (or as the storm), or MAGA as the storm?
I have a music video project formed in my mind, and I could use as many of such material I can get my hands on.
I could also use pictures and videos of Donald Trump/MAGA figures playing musical instruments...
Few months back Trump had a rally in FL where it poured rain the whole time.
Scavino has put out some great pics.
Yandex "Trump Storm -Stormy" and you will find some good ones.
