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
X is going to charge a monthly fee to use.
Lol?
Good. Nothing comes for free.
Patently false, but you do you.
I hope you have been awake all this time to realize that when a service or platform is free, you are the product. Precisely why we are where we are now. But it’s okay, you do you.
I have literally said that here. Not that many comments ago, either. Are you denying God's gifts?
God’s gift is not a transaction, so its not free, It’s unconditional.
And thus free.
Anyone on medications getting an extra supply of them? Can we even do that? I wish I could get a years supply in preparation for the precipice in case there are disruptions.
With how crazy things are getting you might think there's going to be some massive financial crash at the end of the month
Timing wise - I think we are still far away from that. Closer to mid 2024 or even closer to elections. I might be wrong (hope I am wrong, as I want this clown show to end sooner)
yeah it's really getting tiring.

This clip from Metropolis 1927 has been popping up in my YT feed for a couple years now. Reminds me of your short film here.

Science fiction from the silent era. Fritz Lang’s vision of a grim futuristic society.

same to you fren. i'm bringing religiosity to the fuzzy wuzzies.
I don't know where else to ask this:
Are there any real merits to a loser-pays legal system? Where the loser has to pay the winner's legal bills?
It's pitched as a way to end frivolous lawsuits, and it sounds neat on paper...but I've only ever seen liberals pitch it, never a right-winger.
My gut says "no, you idiot, this is a terrible idea," but I can't really reason out WHY it's a terrible idea. It does sound like it would protect trillion-dollar corporations, though, and knowing what I know now, I'd WANT them to be milked dry by lawsuits.
If a lawsuit is frivolous, it should be straight forward to disprove the claims without too much hassle. Hence, should not result in any significant costs.
Psalm 24:3-5 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully. 5 He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
A Song: https://youtu.be/EIyTsQfSQvc
Have a blessed day.
Very nice song for the day! Some accompaniment: 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Excellent first verse! Thank you!
