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
Truth Social seems to be re-blocked in Japan for some reason. I was just on there last night, but now it says "forbidden" when I try to log in.

Has anyone seen the viral video or post about Richard Simmons? Apparently they have scrubbed the internet of him wearing a sweatband on his head and wrist. I've seen people comment they remember him wearing them. Stuff like this will make you crazy if you let it. I know he wore them sweatbands were very popular back then. If you are going change anything out a tshirt and longer shorts on the dude. For younger people guys used to wear really short shorts. Believe me on the right guy we noticed. I was never into him and knew he was different (gay) before I knew what that was.
Well, they didn’t scrub enough
Check out this listing I just found on Poshmark: Vintage Richard Simmons Exercise Fitness Sweat Head Bands NIP Pink Sweatband. https://posh.mk/L7i4kMkWUBb
It is interesting, though if you type in Richard Simmons sweat bands on the Internet, all you see is the propaganda. Just article after article after article. That tells me this whole thing is artificial.
Great find I didn't think about sites like Poshmark and eBay.
I remember his sweatbands too. Must be the Mandela effect.
Agreed Mandela effect. I just don't get why they would hid this. It's crazy who cares what the man wore?
I remember the sweatbands. I asked my husband and he remembers, as well. Why do you think they’re trying to scrub this? Maybe it’s an “Are you awake yet?” test.
Tax question. How are government 'needs' paid for if there aren't taxes? Things such as law enforcement salaries, road upkeep etc. I know they didn't used to have taxes. How did that all work out?
People who say there will be no taxes, or all taxes are evil are just stupid.
Commerce is always taxable. Income tax, wealth tax, inheritance tax and every other tax that infringes on a person's property rights are evil. Infact, in most Western countries, income tax pretty much goes to servicing the national debt (which is a fraud). Also, IRS did not get stated until the Fed came along.
The correct way to do is to tax commerce - ideally only imports and exports, but realistically you also want to tax every sale. This is why countries like India have finally implemented GST. All in prep for the new system.
Imagine the worst case - if you currently have 50% income tax, abolish the income tax entirely, and replace it with lets say 50% sales tax (I am not saying we should, but I am just showing the worst case is stil infinitely better).
So if I earn 50K a year, currently I pay 25K in taxes. In then ew system, I can put it all in my bank, let it earn interest, and lets say when I spend $100, instead I have to spend $200. Unless you are the type that spends every dollar as soon as you earn it, even in this worst case scenario you are much much better off. Infact this will encourage people to spend, and their investments will grow tax free - which is the advantage Elites currently have over us.
Realistically, each State should decide what their sales tax should be, and it depends on how much that State wants to spend in budgets. Conservative states will not need too much money other than infrastucture, security etc. Liberal states, can impose extreme taxes so they can go fight whatever it is they want to fight, but every person will feel the heat of it. Its not just abstract number in a budget.
They didn’t have income taxes in the 1800s except for during the Civil War, but they had other types of taxes such as tariffs.
I figure road upkeep should be paid for proportionately by the people who use the roads. Multiply your mileage during the billing period by the rate for your class of vehicle, and pay for it along with your registration and license plates. Maybe add a toll transponder for high speed overhead toll readers at specialty roads such as tunnels and bridges.
Any government service that can be itemized and/ or individually quantified should be, and paid for in proportion as fees. Services that can’t be individually quantified, such as the deterrent effect of law enforcement presence, can be paid for with taxes. What style of taxation is still up for debate, but any style would result in lower overall taxes if we shift many services to a fair fee system.
I've been wondering about this also. If my memory is correct out west law enforcement was started by Pinkerton's and I think it was a private company but someone had to hire them. Maybe private citizens. Maybe before taxes private citizens paid people or they volunteered. Now my interest is peaking to do some research.
Today is the anniversary of my adoptive country!🇨🇭
Let's celebrate it in music with Chonchon in my Mancave!

Attn: u/Mary911 👉🏻 some Chonchon and hairy arm for you... 🤗💐
Great. Sounds good. We have Chonchon at 2:29 and I think 3:33 and the hairy arm at 2:31. What more could I ask for. KEK. Great tune but a little space age sounding.
Thanks for listening to my musings, Dear Mary!🙏🏻💐
I wouldn't miss it for the world. Love the Hairy arm with my cutest little friend Chonchon.
Random track because it looks scant in hurr.

Happy Tunes-day.
Pee Wee’s character had two jobs in Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie. The first was the concierge at the hotel where Cheech’s cousin Red was staying. Pee Wee refused to release Red’s luggage so Chong helped Red break into the room to get his duffel bag of weed. Pee Wee also happened to be doing stand up at the comedy club that Chong, Red, and friends visited that night. They heckled until Pee Wee challenged them to go on stage. “Ain’t that a peach?”
You’re right, Up In Smoke is the best. Next Movie, Nice Dreams, and Corsican Brothers.have their moments. Things Are Tough All Over and Still Smoking are pretty bad. Yellowbeard with some of the Monty Python crew is ok.
I never cared for his shows or movies just not my style. My husband saw a post someone made talking about he made his uniqueness work for him. It was written better than that😕 I agree if he wasn't in show biz he would have held a low paying job possibly be picked on. I agree with username "heshallthreadalone" might be another victim of hollyweird.
I love peewees playhouse.
Whenever they would say the Secret Word of the Day! Everybody - the furniture, the people, all of it - Col Cat, Terri, Chairry, Globy, Jambi - Captin Carl, and Reba the Mail lady - they would all go into complete hysterics. It was the funniest thing!

"You don't want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel. There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand."
Tim Burton and Phil Hartman were behind that movie. Good stuff. I think I was in the 6th grade when it came out.
I’m not gonna hate on the man. I enjoyed his movies and part of me wonders if he was just another victim.
