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.

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
War Room Friday afternoon. Bannon seriously discussing UFOs with Rep. Burchett from Tennesee.
Frens, there's a local self-bottling honest clean dairy in my area whose beloved owner and primary worker got gored by a bull about a month ago. It's been in the local press, you can independently confirm the event. Randy Lewis of Ran-Lew Dairy. Excellent man, humble and hardworking.
They're very close to their fundraising goal on GoFundMe (I know, I know; the ladies caring for it are not quite awake yet). However, I'm hoping they'll surpass it, because while he has been in the hospital, a tree fell on his truck and totaled it. Locals have been volunteering at the farm to keep things running, other dairies have been helping deliver his milk, but we know how the medical cartels will come after him.

It's called, "This is some bull"
Please consider throwing a few bucks to him and his business if you can. This is the local independent face of the parallel economy and is very worthy of support. Thanks all.
My Congressman is answering email today. Complete denial that mRNA is in the food supply. I don't think Renz would be saying it if he couldn't prove it. Also another one supporting his vote for the Fiscal Irresponsibility Act. Patting himself on the back. Ugh.
So was flipping through and finally watched the latest Biden incoherent “gaff” where reporter doesn’t understand him.
IDK if it was the angle or whatever weird cgi face mask thing they have been doing with the multiple Bidens.
Whatever that thing is I can say for 100% certainty
IT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO GEORGE H W BUSH
I FELT LIKE I WAS STARING INTO GEORGE BUSHES FACE AND WE HAD FLASHBACKED TO 2001
I believe Q even touched on this, politicians and celebs using certain DNA or bloodline and perpetuating a type of vampirism genetic bloodline? I can’t word it how the posts were but I feel in my gut there were some posts touching on Obama’s and bushes being related etc
IT’S REALLY FREAKING WEIRD
SO WEIRD INFACT I WAS THINKING “With all the CGI and Mask fakery that almost assuredly seems to be going on …. IS THAT BUSH UNDER A MASK?”
NO something goes much deeper behind those small beady black demonic eyes… And those creepy drooling fang teeth…
THAT REMINDS ME … Did Q bring attention to the teeth thing or am I mixing up anon posts and information? Maybe in connection to Rachel Chandler? There was one pic Q posts of Chandler where her fangs are showing and she looks straight demonic.
Didn’t Q touch on the inbreeding and pointing out the wretched sharp teeth of these delites?

FYI
We are over a hundred hours since the debt deal was first announced and Trump STILL haven't commented on the deal. In fact, there are (Unconfirmed) rumors that Trump recently praised McCarthy for his hard work.
If Trump objected to any part of this, we would've heard about it by now. Instead, we have him blasting DeSantis while being in presidential campaign mode. In addition, Lauren Boebert's not on the voting reps list, despite very vocal opposition to the deal.
Devil's advocate: Maybe the bill is not as bad as the influencers, personalities, and their followers over at Truth Social and elsewhere make it out to be, if Trump is not blasting it at all.
Speaking of which, I have noticed that said influencers and personalities are very conspicuously avoiding the elephant in the room, which is Trump's silence on the debt deal. Blasting McCarthy and RINOs is easy, but acknowledging the fact that Trump has oddly refrained from making a single comment in opposition to the bill is somehow beyond their abilities.
President Trump cares about the everyday lives of everyday Americans. The people you call normies. He does not see us in that way, politically, yes, but most of Trump voters would not qualify as awakened to many that use the board here. While some see defaulting on the budget as a precipice point, President Trump knows that the Federal budget also supports millions who are dependent on their social security checks, on their medicare and medicaid. Not all who receive federal money are deadbeats. Consider the man I care for. I suppose he could have rotted in some institution, he can do nothing for himself. Instead, federal funds sent to the state, allow him care, rent money (which I receive) , he has a little bedroom in a private home that gives him full care, he goes out with us to farmers markets, sometimes movies, etc. I know Trump is strong, but that does not make him unaware of the weak and unspoken for. He would never support putting millions of Americans at risk for discomfort or worse. It does not make one a liberal to understand that there is a number of americans with severe disabilities who depend on assistance. Or would some here advise euthanizing them as useless eaters? I don't think Trump would. While he may have a personal discomfort with the visuals of disabled persons,, (many do, it is not pretty, Trump loves all things beautiful and he has been sheltered from the ugly all his life.) He would not support defaulting and throwing the country into hardship. Of course there is corruption in the system, of course there are scammers, but, there are also people who do not do that and who work in public service out of Christian duty.
Its good news that your friend has someone like you to take care of him.
Pumping money is necessary before the Fed can collapse.
In return to this bill, all indications show that the Cabal puppets handed over the Biden scalp. Lets wait and see.
The timeline of 2 years in this bill fits perfectly with Q timeline

Great observation. Waiting and seeing might be the best course of action, in light of all of this data and observations.
I just wish the non-stop dooming, the black-pilling, and the whining over the deal would stop polluting my social media feeds. I swear that we have just as many panicky sheep on our side as the enemy's side, and they all are a bit resistant to my appeals to logic. They all like to parrot and bleat out what other "doomy" people are saying for attention.
Amen. Sometimes the doomers are worse than the sleeping sheep.
We cant force them to see the light. You can throw little crumbs but in the end ignore them and let them come at their own time.
I was thinking last night what if Anons bought up Target stock and took over the company? Could we pull off a GME type movement?
You think Anons have taken over Gamestop? lol
Maybe not took over but anons have got to be one of if not the largest shareholder group of gme right now. Financial warfare, brah!
Lol that is most certainly not true.
Until you do the same kind of DD as Apes did on GME, dont even think about it lol
I was visiting stores within my area to check if they have any Gay Pride BS on display. Was a bit surprised that the local Dollar Tree is clean of the BS. Kudos to them for that. Maybe the pride merch is too expensive for Dollar Tree? I will laugh a lot if that is the case. They also have a ton of Patriotic and Christian merch on sale, including Bibles, so even more kudos to them.
Full disclosure, they do have rainbow stuffs, but it is all part of the "Bubblegum Unicorn Girl" aesthetic items that they have going on for a while, so I will overlook that until otherwise.
That's great, but check where their goods come from. 42% are chinese.
I am aware. I am also mostly avoiding the Chinese stuffs (mostly buying snacks and drinks from the Dollar Tree anyway) and checking labels carefully.
I just had an epiphany:
ChatGPT is being trained by the web.
and
The web is getting more and more contents from ChatGPT.
so
ChatGPT is feeding itself and shall soon regress.
No, ChatGPT will overfeed itself and split into two. This has been documented before
What do you do with a negative asset?
My family lost a house to Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Completely flooded, over two feet of water, and the house was basically a total loss.
We are still paying taxes on it, because my parents adamantly refuse to sell the property--even though the house was completely hollowed out by volunteers not long after the flood waters receded.
For that matter, we still have to maintain upkeep on the exterior, or we'll be fined--signs have been put in the yard and everything. It's backbreaking work to rake the magnolia tree leaves and cut the grass with a 50-year-old push mower that keeps breaking down. Sometimes I wonder why we even bother raking--picking up the bigger sticks I get, but they demand EVERYTHING wooden down to the smallest piece be removed from the yard before even thinking about starting that old busted mower.
That house is nothing but a millstone around the necks of our finances. I've been begging them to just sell the damn place to a flipper, just to get it off our hands--but they won't, because they want to fix a huge crack in the floor from when a bedroom was added over 30 years ago...a crack we had no idea was even there until we ripped up the waterlogged carpeting. Turns out the place had been improperly built back around 1990, and now they want to fix it, or at least somehow cover it up, before they even think about selling.
It's been six years. They won't do it. And that fact drives me up the wall.
And on top of it all? The house was insured...but not for flood damage.
Forgive me, but I needed to rant tonight.
In the meantime, get rid of the tree. Get rid of the grass. Or buy a lawnmower that makes it easier to mow. The sooner you make the outside maintenance minimal, the better you’ll feel until the decision is made. There’s no reason to work extra hard to keep the place looking good, when no one lives there. Just make it manageable. That’s it.
The question is not "what to do with a negative asset?" but rather "how can I convince my family to do what needs to be done with a negative asset ?"
BTW, replace "negative asset" with "liability" and you will have your answer :)
It's weird that I, an actual autistic, am telling them to stop being autistic by waiting for perfect circumstances before doing anything.
It took me many years to break that habit too.
u/bubble_bursts hit it on the head . That's the answer- get them the book or audio, read it to them if you have to. RDPD changed our perspective on these things too.
Honestly, when I read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, it changed my whole outlook on the way I looked at money (amongst other things). Things like this have to be dealt with your logical brain when most people use emotional brain.
BTW, my dad is the same. Too many times he made choices about property and then agonize over it for months when all he had to do was think logically.
Nope, I have no clue how to use it. I don’t know what it does other than it being a math tool? I’ve been a little interested in learning how to use a slide rule. Not sure the value in that either, though.
Am I weird that I like old stuff? I always have. Real things rather than plastic.
I do not, but my son learned when he went to a Waldorf school for 2nd-4th grade. I stopped sending him because I found out , while they taught lots of New Testament and Old Testament lessons, they also had a very fixed way of teaching. It was fine to me that he also learned a little bit about other religions, he knew he was Christian. They taught a lot of good real life things, gardening, building, kids spent half their day outdoors.
Oddly enough my family was just talking about that last night at dinner, can't even recall how it came up. We might do it, if we can find one not made in China, lol. (One of us knows how to use a slide ruler, we want to cross-train)
No, I can not. And yes, I think it's worth learning, but I think everything is worth learning. Appreciate this thread a lot; It's getting closer to time to start homeschooling proper, and the thread's an inspiration.
Btw... I've been pretty busy myself, but it feels like you been GONE forever?! You just gonna slide back in all nonchalant? 😅
Missed you! ♥️
DO IT. Perfect time, more families transitioning now than ever before to free themselves and their kids from the indoctrination centers. Look at the HSLDA.org site ( homeschool legal defense assoc)- they have a great collection of materials for those exploring and wanting to start, including links to every state set of requirements.
It's amazing how much we missed out on in school, how much was just plain wrong, how much programming was in there... And now it's much worse.
