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
Maybe nothing burger but anyone else take notice that the OpenAI/Sam Altman drama is revolving around a major development in a project dubbed "Q*" (Q-star)?
A bit late mate! The whole twitter was going on about it yesterday and we had it stickied here as well.
I realized this after I did some manual searches here as I wasn't seeing anything on Hot or New feeds as I scrolled. Been away a bit. Gotta get back into search more/post less.
I miss old school black friday. Walking off dinner shopping, getting ridiculous deals at 3 AM.
I am fully convinced that in 2018 when most stores and malls decided to start closing on Thanksgiving with the "noble" reason of "employees can spend time with their families"
It was actually to begin planning scamdemic, since obviously retailers were in on it. It is really sad because I can tell people want normal America back but everyone is too cowardly to say it because they don't want to look "bad"
As for the "family" thing I can say this, when your life depends on a retai job, getting holiday pay and extra hours is a life saver and left overs are always there when you get off. I can't imagine in these times, any employee would turn down the extra pay for platitudes and social media posturing

Hey guys I'm trying to find a post from a few weeks ago where a hospital was normalizing heart problems in children. I remember it was a twitter post. Does anyone else remember and/or have a link?
Not even close to specific, and maybe completely wrong, but IIRC it was in Canada. So perhaps Canada or Canadian could assist your search. Perhaps.
Definitely in the last couple of weeks though.
Yeah it was some kind of commercial I think coming from Canada
Don't know if this is just random or a coincidence. Although I don't believe in coincidences. On November 22 1963 JFK was assassinated. On November 22, 1718 Black Beard was killed or assassinated. Depending on how you look at it. Sure he was a criminal but the governor of Virginia made it a personal mission to take him out. Considering we know very little about Black Beard's life I wonder if some of what we know isn't made up. He was very good friends with governor of North Carolina. I need to research those two governors relationship with each other.
Did you find anything?
I haven't had time to look yet between Christmas shopping, normal responsibilities and keeping my grandchild. I might try this weekend. If I find something I'll post it.
On November 22 1307, Pope Clement issued a Papal Bull ordering the arrest of all Knight Templars.
(Funnily from 1307 to 1963 is 656 years. Did they have to jump the gun? Was it supposed to be 666 but JFK took power too early? )
There's that 17 again.
Hmm .. interesting...
Let us know of what comes from your research!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 frens. I'm very grateful for each of you. Have a great weekend.

Anyone not excited to be around in-laws and other crazy people at Thanksgiving today? Or just me kek
My wife and I are hermits..so thankfully we dodge that bullet
Seeing the gatherings on Facebook makes me cringe
We stayed home.............. gave the inlaws a break
:)
I wish someone coming to my feast was liberal, that'd make things much more interesting.
As interesting as a cold sore
hehhhhhhhhhh
:D

Is anyone having any telecommunications issues lately?? It's unnerving to me... seems ominous.
I've called several people this month (correct number and everything) and have been connected to different peoples mailbox.
Several people have said I've called them this past month (even sending me screenshots of their call log showing I called) but I never called them, it doesn't show on my call logs and I haven't talked to two of these people in 3+ years.
Parents tried calling me last night and they received an automated message to the affect of this line is not in use.
Curious if anyone had these kind of issues lately. This seems to span t-mobile, att, and Verizon. I am and have been up to date on bills and all that stuff
Nope! No issues here
Hi
I am new here. I see my comments on profile but not the link post I made. Is there some sort of karma requirements? Found you guys via PP ON X or twatter as preferred.
Thanks
IIRC you may need to get out of handshake mode by posting enough decent replies to get some upvotes. It has chaged over the years, though I think this is what happens now.
edit: I really need to get better at reading comments & welcome to the forum!
No need for the edit, I should have mentioned for replies rather than just lurking.
Solid point.
Welcome 🤗 I see your question was answered just stopped in to say glad you found this amazing place. My advice is to read what you can to learn and get a feel of this place. I learned more here about dirty deeds going on in the world in three months than I have learned all my life. There are great people here and best of all it's nothing like fakebook.
Yes, although I am not sure of the exact requirements though. Notice the handshake symbol next to your handle. You are south of heaven but not quite in hell, sort of like a pergurty until your acc can be verified by mods that you are not a shill, doomer, or glowie.
The best bet is to be a lurker for a couple weeks. Throw some updoots here and there. Be sure to read and understand the notes and rules on the side bar. High quality posts are a recommended. Do not post stuff that you cannot verify.
Good luck fren and Happy Thanksgiving!
Frens I am literally geeking the fuck out kek!! What a day
With so many things to geek out over, care to share tour particular geekness? My fam is pretty awesome & we have had some great religious discussions centered around how blessed we all are to have a family that is willing to accept that secret combinations/cabals/evil engaged individuals are involved in government & that we all can accept that our ideas & research may have merit & it can also be complete BS (only time will tell). We allow for each other to be wrong about these ideas, though have fun floating them. There is also the fact we all have learned to roll with the punches while laughing with & at aleach other without offense. It comes from a genuine love for each other & having a deep desire to be our brothers keeper in the family.
I hope my children pick this up from us.
Ppl getting busted left and right for sex crimes and election fraud, big tech / AI habbenings, then Elon tweets Qanon on JFK's assassination date
All good geek stuffs.

OLDEST RECORDED PIANIST DIES, AT 109
The death is reported of the French pianist Colette Maze, probably the oldest person ever to make a classical record.
She released her fourth album earlier this year.
Home educated in Paris, she found her way to the Conservatoire in her late teens, studying with Alfred Cortot and Nadia Boulanger. She taught piano all her life.

Hmmmmmmm.
"Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive."
What are you seeing? I see the dates lining up with announcement and release of earnings with the same content in each tweet.
Haha, maybe!
Wonder how many .win people would make it to the next Gamestop shareholder meeting?
Were any anons here fortunate enough to have their question responded to by Q, and it's now forever in q posts?
would love to hear an answer on this, even if second hand.
I would love to know as well. Though that may compromise their anon status if they are worried about being caught up by black hats.
I wish I would have done more with the Q posts than just lurk on the chans. Only glanced at voat a couple times. I am so grateful I was pointed in the right direction to be able to review & see what was happening as other Anons would share drops back on the old The_Donald board.
I didn't really start digging until GAW was created. I would love to be able to ask some questions to Q at some point.
What is up with Elon today on X?

What is the cure or remedy for the newly unleashed pandemic?
Turning out of MSM, and having medicines on hand if you get sick.
Ivermectin I bet.

Some wonderful suggestions for enjoying Thanksgiving on a whole new level...
The Thanksgiving Song - Ben Rector
https://youtu.be/QwaxNPY5nIY?si=C8Q9bn_B0lwOBU-T
This is undoubtedly one of the most creative songs I have ever seen on how they displayed the lyrics and the singing is great too...it really needs to be the official Thanksgiving Song...I hope you enjoy it!
And then open this link for a good laugh...

This is an amazing song! Thank you & Happy Thanksgiving to you!

More evidence that the NFL is rigged. This week features increasing evidence that the drops the wide receivers make are planned in advance (scripted) to the point that receivers drop easy catches and at the most crucial points in the game. A good example would be seeing a game saving catch on 4th down become a game losing drop.
Nice, i hope this guy keeps doing this.
He will. There is an archive of rigged game examples dating back to last season. If you are a betting man/woman, bet on Pittsburgh to win. Last week, he discovered a pattern where the Steelers followed up a loss with two wins and then another loss followed by two more wins and so on. This pattern means they'll lose in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Pittsburgh is affirmative action... they'll be made to win enough to say it works but lose when the situation requires competency.
Happy Thanksgiving to All. I got home at dark and immediately had to start my baking. My back is killing me. I baked a pumpking pie, a butterscotch pie with meringue, a cherry/pineapple dump cake and a lemon icebox pie. Chopped all my onion and celery for tomorrow's cornbread dressing and got all the other items I will be making tomorrow. Whew! I think I can go to bed now and rest a bit.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING ANONS!
Got to bed at 5am making the dips & that need to have flavors meld overnight. Also keeping a beloved family members secret recipe alive & excited that everyone is enjoying the food, discussions & games with each other.
Thank you for making this a great community!

Mmmm! Some dip and chips sounds lovely about now. I especially love spinach dip. Mmmm! Maybe I need to make some this weekend when the food wears off.
And thank you for being a great Patriot, Anon and Pepe here on GAW.
Psalm 95:1-3
Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! 2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! 3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! 🦃 🥧
