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
Some people need items that others do not. This is regardless of gender.
I would like to share my cooking discovery. I've perfected taking a cheap frozen pizza and turning it into something you would find at your local Italian family owned restaurant. In Canada there are a few brands of frozen pizza that are sold between $3.50 and $5.00. 400 grams. They are somewhat of a joke when you take them out of the box. What I do is add diced onions and diced dried garlic to the top of the pizza. Then I put on around 150 grams of shredded mozzarella cheese. Then on top I put bacon pieces and hamburger meat. I leave the pizza on for 5 more minutes than the box recommends and broil for 2 minutes after that. Never go to 3 minutes or you will burn the crust. Anyway it makes an awesome pizza that will last you 2 meals and it tastes really good.
Thats a great tip, but honestly nothing beats. a good old pizza day with home made dough (all you need is flour and yeast) . When you leave the leftover dough in the fridge and do another round next day, you will feel like you are eating two seperate pizzas due to deeper texture!
And yet, by not limiting our minds with those invisible chains, we were able to explore more stuff!
I might be brave enough to try that one day soon. My pizza is ready in 30 minutes with little mess and fuss. It does not replace the real thing but it is a tasty quick fix for much cheaper than ordering it in. I perfected a hamburger a few years ago. Made it for a few friends who loved it. I called it a Corner Burger. I wish I wrote down the details because now I forget how i made it. But it involved turning off the element and covering the pan and letting the heat slow cook the burger.
Sounds like the Japanese Hambagu! Always looks very juicy and tasty and I was thinking of making it that way next time.
I used a higher rim frying pan. And I would put a cast iron frying pan on top to lock in the heat. It melted the cheese nicely without it burning when it melted off the sides.
My Father designed the entire assembly line for the first Stouffer's French Bread Pizzas. As a child we ate many prototypes for many months as they perfected the final version. I wouldn't call it White Trash cooking tricks, by today's standard of what people are calling food.
My Cousin followed my instructions the other day and his 4 year old son said it was the best pizza he ever had. He ate all the crust and he normally does not. It was this success that gave me the courage to share my discovery.
Bacon fat as well. It's a perfect design when you add it all up. It also works surprisingly well on the Hawaiian pizza. The pineapple helps bring it to life. You mentioned a lack of sauce. I might make a batch and add some to bring up the tomato sauce experience.
Sorry to hear you are leaving fren. Will be praying you return back eventually. Feel free to reach out if you ever need a fren to vent to or need prayer.
I see usmc in your username. One thing that might or might not help. View this place as a digital boot camp :)
I'm sorry to read you get flak. This board is usually respectful of individual opinions. The Mods work night and day keeping it free of mean spirited energy. Give it another chance. There is mostly good intentions found lurking on this board IMHO.
We have to do what’s best for ourselves. If you decide to stay just block them and deport the comments that deserve it. I agree there’s a lot of rude and mean people on the main feed. Probably one reason I mostly comment on general chat. It seems like it a lot worse lately. I’m wondering if they are trolls or spies. Blessings to you fren in your journey💟
This is just too close to reality. This type of movie has never made me fearful for America. I’ve often wondered if this happened here would I ever talk to those I know that don’t live close. I’ve probably watched too many Armageddon type shows.
Do you consider this appropriate for main feed? I get confused I see stuff like this yet according to rules it’s not acceptable. I realize mods can’t catch everything. After a few deleting of comments on main feed I stop posting and am very cautious with comments.

Have a blessed day.
I've been hearing a lot of good stories lately about the left changing sides, and I want to share my only personal experience with political climate change. I have only one far left close friend and I've been working on him for years (he's a co-worker) but it's been like chipping away with a rock hammer. The other day four of his closest, leftist friends called him on the phone, all saying they want Trump back. That made my day.
👏👏👏

[law and order] episode? Planned?
Yes! My employer announced that they were partnering with the Publicis Group (comes across as a WEF shill company) and partnered with the sub-company Publicis Sapient to work on developing their AI.
The name associated with this effort (and who was presenting during this global meeting) was Tony Maile.

This may be a stupid question for law fags. Is it possible to bring a class action lawsuit against the federal government for violating their Constitutional duties? If not appropriate for this general chat, please remove. Thanks.
...and if so and a monetary settlement is reached could it be arranged to be paid not by ordinary taxpayers but instead by politicians who have allowed our southern border to stand open and out of the generational wealth accumulated by congresspeople that far exceeds their pay for the offices they hold?...asking for many friends and family that has had enough of the D.C. double-talk and outright lies being told U.S. and very little holding liars and cheats feet to the fire when caught wagging their forked-tongues and hands in cookie jars
Totally appropriate (from what I understand) it’s a safe place on GAW for all things shower thoughts🐸
Thanks.
And on a much funnier note, yesterday at my son's I kept hearing a loud noise. I opened the side door to the breezeway and it was really loud. Anyone who ever watched Alfred Hitchcock's movie The Birds knew what that sound was. It seems that two large trees were covered in blackbirds and as I stepped to the end of the breezeway to look, I must have startled them as they flew into a swarm. Thank God the breezeway is covered, but my car in the driveway wasn't. It caught the brunt of me startling them. Totally blasted. Will have to take it to the carwash today. That's what I call me scaring the crap out of them. I'll never do that again. Kek.
They are the worst. They show every spring in huge amounts just like illegals crossing the border. The trees beside my house were cut down about five years ago and it messed them up. That spring they were in my yard and my daughters. So many my little dog was scared when we took him out. Thankfully they found someone else to bother.
My grandson and I watch them fly across the fields, front and back of his house whenever we are waiting for his school bus. Just large blobs of moving mass flowing across the sky. Then they either land in the wooded area behind the neighbors across the street or behind my sons in the field. But Friday they decided to land in the big trees in my sons backyard. I much prefer them in the field picking the ground over for leftover corn.
Dang didn’t catch that.
Correct me anytime! I love constructive criticism. When coming from you I know you aren’t trying to a jerk unlike someone up in here🙄 If you know you know.
Ha Ha, oh I can crazy also🤣
What is a breezeway?
A breezeway is a walkway between the house and the garage. It was once open and then my son (being a carpenter) added a roof to join the house and garage together. Trust me when I say breezeway because the breeze flows through there all the time.
HUH?
A, I don't know.
I just replied to this in my head…and I can’t stop laughing 😂 🤣😂 yes it’s inappropriate
Thank God it rained all day and washed it all off. My husband was going to take it to the carwash until it started raining. So now there is no need just yet.
Yes. Those birds do scare easy.
Bummer - happy it wasn’t the paint! Yikes. NOT the car! Bird poop is the worse. I keep paper towels and nitrile gloves in my trunk 🤣🤣.
🤢⁉️
this is this weeks general chat? yes? what is the story with nitter and all their instances being rate limited? is twxtter trying to limit news to the rest of the population that refuses to go directly to twxtter?
Really good question. Haven't seen any definitive answers yet.
Wondering if it was a temporary service hiccup, or if it's something more insidious like reddit pricing API access out of bounds of any 3rd party's budget.
On that note: shower thought.
Reddit recently removed their Award System where users could flair a post with a variety of graphical "medals" to show support for the topic / post.
Why would they do such a thing? It's a completely digital asset, non-negligible passive income. There was a whole cultural "thing" where people would drop a couple of dollars to flex and interact with the forum. Total casino style addictive nonsense. Free money.
Well, something I'd noticed on /r/conspiracy specifically, and really any right-leaning post site wide, is the sophistication of downvote bots to control the narrative. In /r/conspiracy ALL posts are immediately downvoted until they display "0" votes, which is apparently the bottom threshold the system shows. Very few organically overcome this and eventually display positive votes - and that's on inarguably one of the largest subs on Reddit. Stuff in normies subs just gets CRUSHED.
But you could always tell which "unpopular" posts had the support of the community by the Awards people paid to place on them. When you saw a controversial post sitting at zero votes with a bunch of expensive Awards attached, it undermined the narrative.
The removal of the awards system definitely strikes me as being in preparation for 2024 and NCSWIC. No more underground Code Talk. Same way almost all news outlets dropped their comment sections coincidentally before COVID. Same way Amazon bought IMDB and unceremoniously deleted the single largest collection of message threads outside of Usenet (which Google just happened to buy and bury as well as they could) 2 years before COVID. Can't have normies discussing the plots to all this wildly suspicious media.
Millions of free dollars just dropped on Reddit, I suspect solely to control this tiny bit of nonverbal communication. They're afraid.
NCSWIC
omg, another one of you conspiracytards coming up with another conspiracy theory, that even involves reddit. it all makes sense and I believe you are on to something. great reply, thanks.
👏👏👏

I don’t know OR CARE about limits. I live in America, I can read what I want to read when I want to read it! Who is doing this?
Interesting delta for Jan 27th. u/#q623 I think this explains the Elon about face.
It seems pretty apparent to me. Super important part of this information warfare. Let us not forget the importance of Truth Social back when Twitter was essentially completely locked down to us. It didn't come with as big a boom as we'd hoped for at the time but, in hindsight, sure kept the frogs in the fight, ready for the Twitter gates to reopen.
Yes, I know many frogs are still banned. But still... So much stuff now normies never saw 2+ years ago.
I found this interesting:

Very interesting!
I gotta say Ben Shapiro dropping a f****** rap song wasnt on my bingo card lmao
I’ve never heard of this
bad ass song too
I would not trust Ben Shapiro. He was heavily involved in the Michelle Fields fiasco, that was nothing but lies. He went so far as to quit his job over the fake incident. The drama he helped to create claiming Cory Lewendowski shoved Michelle Fields to the ground. He has been a never trumper for years.
Lastly, He was on with Joe Rogan and the disrespect he showed Christians was stunning. When asked if he believed that Jesus was a prophet, but just not the son of God, he said absolutely not. Jesus was no prophet, just a rabble rouser who took it to the Romans, and got what he came looking for.
We need to be very careful of the conservative inc people. They are rino's in sheep clothing.
👏👏👏 Unfortunately he WILL find out who JESUS really is. One way or another. I pray for his salvation. However; his pride may keep him from ever seeing the Truth. Pride comes before the fall.
Anyone know a residential contractor in Anchorage that's based?
Anyone see a website listing of best supplement brands that’s listed by type of supplement? I think it was posted in the past two weeks but not sure and not sure if it was on general chat or a comment on a post. I searched supplements and didn’t find it. I accidentally deleted the tab before saving. The website was plain white with links for each type supplement, nothing fancy. Looked like someone researched a lot and was nice enough to make a website. Thanks
Just ran across this:
Big pharma & megacorps bought/acquired pretty much the entire vitamin & supplements aisle. They cause the problems and make on both ends
https://greatawakening.win/p/17r9949syu/big-pharma--megacorps-boughtacqu/c/
Can't believe this was posted four months ago... Seems like yesterday. Great short video everyone should watch to be aware.
While I keep my head down and bum up, I'm really fed up hearing people crying poor me *I was forced jabbed or would lose my job. Meanwhile some people in society were truly pinned down and jabbed.
Matthew 7:13&14 Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Amen. One of my favorites; never hurts to have a reminder. 🙏
I'm just wishing y'all a blessed weekend! Love y'all!
Same to you fren hope you have a beautiful weekend💖
This is a first and not complaining about it. Just turned the AC on in NC. High 76 today sadly it was just a few days highs in 60s next two days and back to normal with 40s - 50s for the next week. If I was in high school I would have spent the day baking in the sun.
We were able to stick with ceiling fans, lol
Pretty good grilling weather, gonna try and hook up with some frens today and throw around some red pills tomorrow!
I just want everybody to know that I'm not Jewish and have never been to Israel. I've always liked tanks ever since I was a little kid. Back in the 1970s my parents would get me toy tanks made out of die-cast metal with rubber treads. I had quite a collection.
Thats a pretty weird way to start a conversation. Perhaps we are missing some context ..
With all the fighting going on between the Palestinians and the Israelis, I want everybody to know that I am not on either side. I declare myself neutral. I'm a fan of their war machine, but not their politics.
I don’t believe every Jew is a bad person so if you were I don’t see a problem. I don’t like putting everyone in a box. We all have bad people in our family and that’s not a reflection of who you are. Isn’t to me anyway. A perfect example is during WWII dachshunds were treated terribly in Europe & UK. People would kick dachshunds because they were German decent. That ticks me off because I have one and even though they can be a little jerk at times they are so loving. My mom went to Israel three times not to worship Jews but to see biblical places and where Jesus was when on earth.
Very well said, and very true. Every single group of people on this planet has good, and bad people. Imagine, just caring about people, salvation, and not what color of their skin is, or where they’re from.
I also could care less about either side, what I care about is that each side has people going to hell right now. That’s very sad.
Exactly! I’ve been watching biblical documentaries on YouTube and the ones talking about Adam & Eve explaining all skin colors and different facial features came from them. One is really long and says there’s only one race, the human race. I believe it’s another lie they told for centuries to devide us. I’ll see if I can find them.
I do believe different nationalities and people from different regions are very different but not because of skin color. We all are a product of our raising and environment.
Yay 👏👏👏
I was supposed to go to Israel last November, but the trip was canceled. I was never so happy in my life. I don’t care if I ever go to Israel ever for my entire life. Ever ever ever.!
This forum is for people to share information with each other, Not to provide commie style news feed from Facebook, Frens, keep reporting posters of the same news stories that have nothing to do with WWG1WGA. Maybe someone will take the hint.
Absolutely. Keep them deports coming!
Didn't expect the new General Chat to appear so soon, so I'll repost this so more people can see it:
Fourteen episodes into Jobless Reincarnation now.
There has been a disaster that has separated the main character from familiar surroundings--this is important later.
Regardless, we now have characters named Ghislaine and Sauros...and now, an underage trafficking ring. Not strictly human, since it's mostly other races like beast-people, but the fact remains.
And at the start of episode 14, the main character, who looks no older than 11, is captured by this ring, and sits in his makeshift cell...naked.
And someone else is thrown in there with him...where a massage happens.
Yeah. A massage. It's the new prisoner rubbing down the (again, NUDE) protagonist, not the other way around, but the fact remains.
It was at that point that I had to go "Oh God, that's three--it really IS enemy action...what did this author KNOW?!"
Now, I must note that the trafficking ring is explicitly shown to be a BAD THING run by BAD PEOPLE. But that still doesn't explain the above massage between prisoners, one of whom appears underage (he's not, but everyone else in that world has no way of knowing that).
But then we get to the twist that drove me to make this recap.
That disaster at the start of this post?
At the end of episode 14, Sauros is blamed for the disaster...and is executed onscreen.
There is zero ambiguity. It's in silhouette, but you see the blade come down and his head roll away.
Everything is blamed on Sauros, when there are far worse men manipulating things behind the scenes...
Was this author one of us?
👀👌
Anime has always been kind of creepy. Interesting though. I’ve seen your post about this before and this just bring it all back to mind. We are living in twisted times for sure.
