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 got the video where Trump is talking about military and says "Biden got his shot"
I had posted a compilation of multiple times Trump said some variation of Biden is shot / got his shot etc as a comment a few days ago.
Found it on TS brother. Thank you though! o7
Have a blessed summer evening frens… Relax a while…

Ushering in covid - the schools have been in session for two days now. They are sending each kid home with a computer. Planning for virtual learning? Next, the mom and pop style pharmacy is being bought out by a big name pharmacy with just 1-2 days notice. This along with pill shortages. Things are brewing.
I would love some constructive criticism, or to simply bounce ideas on some meme ideas with others.
Here is my submission for the Obama Interview https://greatawakening.win/p/17r9IKfB6S/obama-with-65k-hotdogs-meme/
Very well written. It's about re-establishing priorities and placing God back at the center of our lives, rather than at the periphery.
That is me too we one of the same and in JESUS NAME WE WILL WIN🙏🕊🙏💥🇺🇸💥🥳😎🌭
Beautiful and so true ❤️
We are all guilty of not being ourselves, at least not our real individual self. We are always striving to please someone whether it be a spouse or a parent or even a friend. In school we wanted to please the teacher so we could get that A inscribed on a paper. Only when we take a good long hard look in the mirror do we see who we really are. We spend our days faking it for the sake of other peoples feelings. God sees the real person we are. He sees the good, bad and ugly. But yet, he loves us despite our ugliness. He is really the only one we should be concerned about pleasing and impressing. People will let you down, but he never will. He loves us in our nakedness, whether it be in physical body or when we expose who we really are to him. When we close the door to a room and think we are alone, he is there. He sees it all.
Well said.

When leftists claim something is a Dog-Whistle it means they're scared of the truth, and are using that label to slander the truth they can't stand.
Yep, never understood "dog whistle" even before I was awake, but now I can see it exactly for what it is.

Do any of the mods know what happened to u/rooftoptendie? They often taught us to check in with mods when they would be away for a while & I am praying they are okay.
Did they check in with any mods before they deleted their account?
Pretty sure I know what happened: she's gone. 🤗♥️
Or anyone else for that matter?
I know there was one who accidently logged out and had lost password. Still here with different user name though.
Yeah there are a couple of those, or others who deleted & started new accounts for some reason. Though I never thought Rooftop would eb one to delete their account.
I was hoping a mod may offer some insight on them.
something like u/redpillpusherman i recall as well, something like that
u/SirBudLight AKA u/SirRupert... and something before that, I forget right now
I welcome any thoughts on using a VPN. I am currently using Express, but who knows what is the best? I’m not trying to hide from the F Be Eye (hah, as I spell out their name), just wanting to protect myself online from being hacked into. And I really don’t do much as far as social media, just some photo sharing on Instagram of my garden projects, and, coming here to mostly lurk.
Express offers several different sites across the world. Should I change my site often, or would other countries cause me more liability as far as not being secure?
A VPN will simply hide your traffic from your internet service provider & allow you to appear to be coming from a different state/country.
There is some media that isn't allowed to be played inside of, or outside of geographic locations. Using a VPN can help with being able to see geographically restricted content.
Most hackers will obtain your information (in my experience with older family members I attempt to educate) by collecting some contact information from various records/lists that get sold. Your contact info is extremely valuable if you fit the proper niche.
Often a message promoting fear will get individuals to call the number listed so that a hacker can further obtain more information & drain your accounts.
Good basic rule of thumb. If you get a notice that there has been an error, go into your local bank/doctor office/tv provider/power company & ask them about the bill. If you can't go into their office physically, at the very least get their contact information from a web search & then call them directly from their listed number. Never call, or reply to, those texts or emails that make fear based claims.
I have enjoyed Perogi (a blue haired hacker). They expose thieving hackers & often work with other good hackers to bring down really bad thrives. Their channel is Scammer Payback https://youtube.com/@ScammerPayback
edit--Often Scammer use very crude & fowl language. I hate that part, though it is hilarious to watch them freak out as they find their computers are having files of individuals they planned to scam be deleted whole on the call with a "84 year old woman"
If you like Scammer Payback, check out Kitboga. Funny as hell.
Thank you for the reminder. I haven't seen their stuff come up in my feed for some time, though I have really enjoyed them.
I recommend Kitboga too.
I will check them out.
To this day I have never cast a single downvote in TDW and GAW. This site was created to facilitate discussion. Downvoting inhibits it.
How does a downvote Inhibit discussion. Can't we simply ignore them. I think the ability to ignore negative and downvotes is key to building up strong digital warriors. Same goes for not getting puffed up from upvotes
It is only by the most intense concentration and effort that I am restraining myself from giving this comment a downvote.
I don't know what it is. It's not that I disagree with what you're saying. It's not that we have any personal history. It's not that I'm a shill. But the desire to downvote this is.... hard....... to.... <grunt> ... resist.
:D
Damn! My willpower is AMAZING.
I'm weak. Kek
kek. I scored a downvote. Did someone fail to detect the tongue in cheek nature of my reply? We may never know....
Idk, I think the downvote is as meaningful as the upvote. If you have a different opinion, and feel the OP needs to see that others don’t agree, you are saying something without saying something, if you are afraid of discourse?
I downvote anything that would put our movement in risk, like the obvious ones trying to call for violence, the obviously baited comments. They are obvious too, especially to this old geezer who knows a thing or two about ef bee eye surveillance.
Also shills & agitators should be down voted & deported immediately.
If you disagree with someone, you can always choose to reply. Downvoting without replying will seem to others that you are some troll/shill or someone who has no argument. It is an interjection.
Some are so stupid or glow so hard that they don't merit a reply
I agree, but it does tell me how many people without arguments got mad :D
So... Jill w Covid. that shows that the jab does not work. Also... this should be close to the Biden exit.
In becoming prepared for the coming financial crisis, I decided to stack some silver and gold. Now I can sleep at night knowing that my meager nest egg is out of the fiat system and I'm also leveraging my good credit rating. What I have learned so far about stacking.
Stacking for wealth preservation you want to buy @ the cheapest price per ounce as possible. Gold fluctuates a lot lower %-wise, but probably won't be practical in a barter situation compared to silver. Fractional Oz gold has way too much premium to be worthwhile. As an example right now... 1 Gram of Gold is running 95-100 bucks while 31.1 Grams is a Troy Oz and can be bought for 64 bucks a gram or less.
So for barter many stack junk silver, bars, or rounds. Junk Silver is actually old coins 10 cents, 25 cents, or 50 cents coins pre-1964. They are 90% silver and 1.40 cents mix and match denominations is roughly 1 oz of silver. The problem is that the premiums are pretty high, especially online.
Silver Bars and rounds are much better in regards to premium and its likely in a barter situation the merchant will give you 90% silver coins as change if needed for cashing in your bars and rounds to make a purchase.
Like gold 1 oz silver rounds and bars seem to be the sweet spot. Always remember you need to calculate the per oz costs.
Currently on one site... 90% silver dimes are @ 29.84 per oz, silver bars are @ 26.80, and rounds @ 26.29... So the rounds are the clear winner in the per oz price for 1 oz. You would think larger bars and rounds would be cheaper, but that's rarely the case . On the same site 10 Oz bars are 27.30 an oz, an 100 oz bar IS cheaper 25.61, but costs more than a 1 oz bar of gold and who will give you change when you buy groceries? Fractional silver bars and rounds have the same problem as fractional gold, you may as well buy 90% coins...
When buying the price you pay matters more than the spot price all the dealers tout because they all use different calculations for spot. The best site to check spot price is kitco, but don't buy from them they are costly!
PIMBEX tends to offer the best prices for bulk cash buys, but not if you buy smaller amounts and use CC. All the dealers will charge you a CC markup to cover their CC costs. APMEX is slightly higher than some other online dealers, but if you avail yourself of their CC you get their 4% markup for using CC back as credit for future purchases. They also are currently giving 150 welcome bonus and if your credit is very good 0% APR for a year. As an example: You purchase a gold bar at 2,000 you then have 230 cash back to buy silver rounds and inflation is eating them not you.
Its a good idea to shop around @ 5 or more dealers AND your local coin shops too! APMEX, SD Bullion, PIMBEX, Monument Metals, HERO Bullion are sites I check before I buy. Coin Huskers is a local coin shop that markets online and updates a video pricelist almost every business day. I haven't bought from them yet, but plan to.
Buy the dips and sales. I bought an oz of gold for 10 bucks above spot that's less than half a % Markup.
Note: The way spot prices are listed and updated on all these sites are different than the stock market. You can set the chart time range, but they often show the up or down over the last 7 days and I prefer seeing daily charts.
Keep in mind Central Banks and may very wealthy funds and people are snapping up gold, yet the price is manipulated because they trade 100's of times more paper oz than is actually mined. Same with silver, BUT silver is used by industry and the demand is incredible compared to the amount mined. They paper trade silver far more than is mined as well. The top ten owners of in the ground silver adds up to less than 1 years industrial demand.
Half of gold is in jewelry. Silver is used in all kinds of products because it is the most conductive metal by far. Solar Cells, Batteries, Electronics, all use a lot of silver.
How do you feel about JM Bullion? I watch for sales on random silver rounds, trying to keep it affordable.
I got very lucky when gold was barely 1k an oz, back in 2014 or so, maybe later, I dont remember, but a tenth of an oz was under 300, I would buy 1/10 every two weeks, the low price lasted for almost 2 years, that was sweet.
I wish I'd started stacking back then...
Good explanation. I've been stacking for about 10 years. At first, the idea was to use it if the shtf to barter/trade, but as time went on, I've come to realize the real reason is two fold:
The market has been heavily manipulated for a long time. Once the TRUE value of Ag and Au are "revealed", there are some substantial gains to be had.
It's a good hedge against inflation/worthless FRNs. For instance, even though the market has been heavily manipulated, around 2014, an oz of gold was around $1080. Now it's around $2k... essentially our buying power through true inflation has been cut in half.
3) Bartering is the last resort for your stack.
I recommend everyone come up with their "number" they'd feel good about physically holding should the bottom drop out. Tyen keep stacking until you get there. I originally shot for 750 oz, but I've easily blown way past that. It's one of the only ways you can hold anything of real value... that's small enough to move and store.
I'm just stacking, buying extra food, and paying bills ahead. So I don't have a set goal for stacking. My goal is to keep my bank account as low as possible. The lowest its been in decades right now.
You're not the only one...
I've talked to many who are also keeping it low and getting out of FRNs with the writing on the wall. It seems the whole world is getting out of FRNs and TNotes.
Thank you. This is some good info, I am looking at getting multiple grams or silver this month from a local source that should be handy in an emergency, and the grow it from there.
Had an ex that saw my old jar of coins 20 years ago, was hungry & bought a pizza with the thing while I was away. I was so mad at the time. Her pizza cot me a few hundred dollars of silver dimes & quarters. Learned my lesson though 🤣
Yeah, that was an expensive pizza. I buy whatever the cheapest rounds are at the time. The 90% silver coins are supposed to be cheaper at local dealers, but I haven't been to the ones here yet. I don't drive and have been working lots of OT 1 day off last week and maybe today off this week. Gotta shop for food, do laundry, and mow the grass... Last pay was 132 hours, this pay 126 hours, already hitting 60 towards the one after.
I do my own laundry as my wife works like crazy too
Makes sense my friend. I hope that extra work is allowing yoh to tuck away some decent savings for future endeavors :D
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees.
Either that or a giant electric capacitor powered by interstellar birkeland currents connecting it to all the other stars. Furnaces are hottest on the inside but the sun is at its coolest there.
Everything is a big ball of gas to you.
Pretty good 4chan larper today, saying that MH370 would be discovered on the moon. Not a bad larp, what with the Indian lunar probe on the lunar south pole this week.
Edit- got the larpers mixed up. Still, 4chan be larpin' and we don't even have to wait a full week.
Yeah... but whatever you do, don't talk about it on any electronic device.
Imagine something like 9/11 and "don't talk about it"..."ignore everyone who contacts you about it".
Yeah okay... GTFOOH. Unless you're a miserable hermit, that's just not possible.
It IS close to their precious 9/11 date where they like to do rituals...
"Guess we'll just see what we'll see, now won't we?" -Casey fuckin Ryback
Yeah, the responses were as good as the OP.
Same guy?
Yeah, that's the one. He added that near the end of the thread, as in "ok, I gotta go now but this is what it is."
Just checked. The guy who said the MH370 thing is not the OP
Thanks. Went back and edited my post. I saw a few of OP's follow-ups, and got this one mixed up. My bad.
Holy shit, if by really crazy chance it does happen, boyits gonna be funny to watch lol
What with the flat earthers trying to explain it?
May God bless all Truth seekers this day. In The Name of Jesus Christ i pray.
I am trying to learn to pray over people, and especially my son today.
He is 23 and took a job commercial salmon fishing. It is a 24/7 job for three months plus in a fairly small seiner.
He is struggling mentally with finishing the job. But I am super proud of him!
I sent him this prayer…I’d appreciate if anyone would pray it also.
“Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to you, humble, and asking through Jesus Christ to send down a mighty arm of Angles to watch over Colton and give him, and the rest of the crew, the strength and fortitude to finish this season.
We know that when we rely on you as our strength, that you will not give us more than we can bear.
Please help these roughnecks finish well and with good profits to sustain their families and their means of survival, with gifts to those who are also less fortunate.
And please dear Lord, give them rest in their mind, body and soul.
They are weary.
In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen”
Amen! Way to start the chat!!!
Amen! thank you!
