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
Prayers please.
I have no idea how to post, so I am praying I can get help for a tiny fellow, Carter. My son's best friend and wife had a baby boy 3 weeks ago and were just able to bring him home. I do not know what is wrong, but the doctors told them he only has a 30% chance. They lost a baby last year. She is 40. Prayer seems the only way. Please help. We will ask the church's prayer group.
God bless you all. I have never asked, but for a little fellow and his terrified parents, I humbly do. Thank you.
General question: is there a way to search a user account for a particular post?
sidenote I have the tampermonkey script that allows for endless scrolling installed (https://files.catbox.moe/29hfz4.js)
I was going down some rabbit holes and found the following that I thought was pretty interesting:
Bernard Fay: Bernard Faÿ (French pronunciation: [bɛʁnaʁ fa.i]; 3 April 1893 – 31 December 1978) was a French historian of Franco-American relations, an anti-Masonic polemicist who believed in a worldwide Jewish-Freemason conspiracy and during World War II a Vichy official.
He said that illuminati bankers used their massionic dupes to establish the US as a future base for world domination.

Can someone explain to me how the same democrats that are against slavery are for open borders that cause human trafficking and modern day slavery?
Democrats have never been against slavery.
They aren't against slavery. They say they are and other lies to get votes. Just my personal opinion. Watch some Thomas Sowell interviews he tells it like it is.

Anybody know of a dark chocolate brownie mix without a bunch of garbage ingredients (seed oils, GMO, processed junk etc)? I don't mean a gluten free or "keto" brownie, just good ol brownies with real ingredients
edit- found one! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N0SHU33/
I like Ghirardelli brownie mix, it's the best box mix I've had. It does have soy which I don't like but I usually keep a box around in case I need something for a get together.
There's so many good clean brands on the market compared to just five years ago. I'm sure it will take some a little bit of research. I wish I knew of one. I do like King Arthur gluten free cake and cookie mix but the brownie mix isn't good. I don't have a gluten allergy. I ordered the cake mix because I like clean cakes and sometimes don't want to make it from scratch. They taste like regular cookies and cake.
If all else fails there's an endless supply of recipes online. It will be time consuming, I plan to make brownie mixes in mason jars for future use. It's very easy I made them for my daughter's teachers gifts and they were a hit.
This may be a little longer however it is of some concern to me as it effects many people I know but one in particular.
I received a call today from a friend that is recently waking up, she is a single mother who left an abusive relationship. She started the conversation with, "what do you know about this 2025 plan?" She is looking at a direction on how to vote. I asked her what she had heard and why it was a concern to her, she stated that she had heard both side wanted this plan in place and that she was told that mothers who are not married to the fathers of their children will have to relinquish custody of their children to their natural fathers and will be blocked from even visitation. I have not heard anything of the sorts on this. I told her that 99.9% of the democrats are the ones going for globalist control and that a lot of Republicans are Rinos and fold to the whims of the globalist as well. We had a long talk and I told her I would check on her concerns and get back with her.
So my question is about children being taken from single mothers and given to fathers even if they are abusive.
You should always take stuff like this with a grain (teaspoon) of salt.
Never heard of anything like this & our entire legal system as it is structured, HEAVILY favors the woman, 99%++ of the time.
There's virtually no chance this will change overnight.
JMHO....

Just got this in a DM:
You sound like a fat bitch Karen, gross and nasty
It was in response to my reply this weekend to someone saying they couldn't sleep. I made the comment I couldn't sleep and talked about my husband was morning person and I'm not. If you take everything someone says here in a comment when they are clearly just joking or running their mouth you are the problem not me (or others). My husband sings and rhymes in the morning and I'm more like don't expect conversation till ten. We have all seen the memes and women's night gowns joking about not being a morning person. I'm posting this not for them to see it. I didn't reply and blocked that user. I'm posting because we should be able to report people that direct message us. Dang, you aren't very confident in your trash talking if you can't put in in public for the world to see.
Rant over and don't with that troll. Have a great day. Be back eventually😀
I'm sorry someone said that to you, but on the brighter side, isn't it great not to be them? Imagine taking the time to say something mean to someone that you do not know. It isn't funny, it's pathetic. Probably the equivalent of a 14 year old brat.
Thanks, I barely gave them a second thought. I mainly posted trying to make a point we should have the opportunity to report private messages to moderators. They are nothing but a keyboard bully! Considering the things I've been through this past year I don't have time for stupidity and hateful people. I know that's not the general attitude of GAW members! I've seen love and compassion here and I'm very grateful for it. I feel sorry for someone like that it must be a lonely existence to get happiness from treating people like this.
Probably the equivalent of a 14 year old brat
Sadly many people never grow out of childhood pranks and being a bully.
So apparently the DOD or military announced that a nuke sub has arrived in the Middle East. So when did we start announcing the whereabouts of our boomers? This is stupidity.
It's a movie
I don't like saying that either but
Clown world reigns
It is a scripted movie but the scriptwriters are on strike, as are the stage hands, grips and gaffers.
The actors are having to adlib or stick to an ancient and obsolete script and the directors are going stark raving mad as their white rabbit fix is no more, and there is no money to hire scab labour.
Much better than what I could communicate.
:)
Hebrews 12:1-2
I like perfect things.
Our faith is in perfection.
Jesus Christ is the perfector of our faith.
The throne of God in our being is perfect.
Amen...

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Ohhhhh

Just finished watching V for Vendetta with family and a few friends. For once we watched the end credits. As the end music was playing, there were some voices making political statements. Two of them sounded like Hillary and one sounded like Obama even though it was 2 years before he was “elected” president. I attempted several searches but couldn’t find any confirmation of who the voices were. Does anyone know for sure who they might be. There were 4 of these statements all together.
Watch the intro to the game homefront. Basically had some clips shown in it as if it was pre recorded for if hillary won. Some ominous shit in there
Interesting 🤔 will have to rewatch
Today is the last day of DST.
Both America and Russia tried permanent DST in the past, and failed.
Do you support abolishing DST altogether?
I prefer sticking with one time. However, personally DST resonates as a natural flow for me better.
I do remember the year we tried to stick with standard time, and we'd arrive at school in darkness. Kinda fun as a kid.
When did this happen?
Yeah lets live with the flow of nature
I live in AZ so yes! 🤣😂
Yes

A Song: https://youtu.be/_bRV3J4n8cc
Have a blessed day.
A worthy hymn...also a great movie...
"The text of this hymn is a direct quotation from 2 Timothy 1:12: “. . . I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day” (KJV). In this letter, the apostle Paul has been imprisoned, yet he feels empowered in his suffering because it mirrors the suffering of Jesus Christ."
