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.

i can't wait for things to get weirder.
Be careful what you wish for, because it’s a coming (I can’t wait either)
I have breast cancer in my left breast. No biggie, right.? Nobody knows. I got hurt at work and xyz. Yea. My next comment sounds awful, but, if you knew my life.. I really don't have time for this diagnosis! That's why nobody in my family knows , and I've known for a while.
I plan on doing iv and fen Ben. I'm the caregiver! Lol. I can't be sick!
Oh dear I’m sorry. But I have to say, just by reading your comment, that you are one strong individual. Here you are facing a crisis in your own life, and you are more concerned with the well being of another. You are an example of what the Bible determines to be “Christ like”. You bear the fruit that not many people are willing to bear. Your self sacrifice will be rewarded. Be sure to find time to really draw into the presence of God. I’ve heard many healing testimonies of where people would do that and pray, meditate read and wait to hear the voice of God. Their healing came, but only when they stayed close to him. Some people would get complacent and pull back some and the sickness would try to come back on them. That’s when they realized that their healing was prevalent in HIS presence. If I recall correctly, you are a fellow South Carolinian. I’ll be praying for you.
Thank you so very much!
You’re welcome
Let's see what happens
Need some opinions.
My VERY large employer (330,000 worldwide) just restarted their Political Action Committee (PAC ) for US based employees (following the FEC laws). They say that they will be bipartisan, but I know better given that all 4 of our divisions are members of the WEF and our Chairman is a sitting WEF board member. They sent out a blast email asking for employees to join to help support the “candidates” that align with our business and objectives (meaning reducing global warming, carbon output and creating a “sustainable future” without useless eaters and supporting DEI).
We can contribute via personal check or direct payroll deduction. Apparently, they will use our earnings to do as they please because the 9 committee members “determine what candidates are eligible for contributions”. Those that contribute have no say, or at least they haven’t opened it up for discussion yet.
My question: should I contribute $1, just so I can keep tabs on exactly who and what evil issues they are supporting? They threatened me with termination for not getting the required covid injections, so I’m probably already on their radar. I realize I’m working for the enemy, but I can’t afford to bail out and lose what I’ve accrued after 25 years.
FYI: u/corrbrick
Follow your conscious. Don’t leave yourself open for regret. ❤️
So what happens if you opt out of contributing?
They say it's completely voluntary, but I find it strange that they are asking people to donate to political candidates we have no vote in choosing. 🤷♂️
I want to say that I love America, and there is still no better place to live in the world than right here. We have our issues, but America has always had issues. And we will always have issues. But millions of great Americans would give their shirt right off your back for you. We are a giving nation to a fault. God Bless America!
One of the very first memories I have of America is me telling my friends that "I dont feel America" (I had just moved and we were in some suburbs) and that weekend my friends took me to NY. We took a subway and got out at the WTC station. As we got out and entered the street, the two towers were looming up to the sky - the breathtaking sight finally made me say "Oh, this IS America of my dreams".
America was the most beautiful country ever and I fell in love with it. The people welcomed me with open arms. The countryside welcomed me with greenery. The industry welcomed me with technology I could only dream about until now. I came to the country alone and with just $200, and when I left it a few years later I had met my wife, I had made so many friends and had a successful career that propelled me to true freedom whereever in the world I chose to live.
Those were the heydays of America. The last memory of the towers was on Sep 10th 2001, driving back from NY, I was on the Turnpike, heading back home after the US Open finished and I could see the towers far away standing as majestically as ever, but the strange play of the sun light made it look like it was on fire. We still have the street art painting I got done for my wife (gf at that time) the day before.
After the Towers fell instead of seeing hatred towards non-Americans I just saw people come together even more. The feeling of comradarie, and that we are all in this together - even today those memories are what tells me that, contrary to a hundred apocalypse movies we are shown, in times of trouble people always come to each others' aid. That humanity is fundamentally good and worth saving.
After I left America to my new home in Australia, I would visit back regularly on work, and every time I travel there, I would feel more heartbroken. Especially after 2008. I could see the familiar beautiful sights slowly deteriorate. Slums, Graffitti, muggings etc in the same places I used to hang out.
At that time I had no idea why or how this was happening. Chalked it down to the GFC. But knowing all that was artificial - part of destroying Humanity - now I cant wait to visit again after the precipice, perhaps for the 250th anniversary that Trump has promised would be magnificent!
wow man, thanks for putting this up.
all i got for you in return is cheese. but it's from the heart. my cheesy heart.

Well, good mornin' m8
You should have seen it in the 70's, it was just as bad if not worse, and this was before crack and fentanyl. The only good thing was that it was affordable to rent an apartment in Manhattan for a working class person, but it was filthy, crime ridden, and just as corrupt. They managed to put a coat of paint on it for a few years, but the rot crept through.
someone located at a military base in El paso, TX just posted this on social media - Our housing community is doing an 8-12 HOUR power outage exercise next week. Any tips on how to keep our frozen and refrigerated food safe? 🤫
the point here was WHY is a military base doing a power outage exercise?
If it will stay below 40 where you live, you might be able to put the ice/chill packed cooler outside secured from wild animals, of course.
Perhaps a small generator or battery that's just enough to run the fridge for a few hours.
You can find plenty of other tips online. Hope this helps, good luck!
Take photos of your food spoilage and submit for reimbursement. Proactively ask them where to send the bill to.
Hey, anybody got any good compilation videos of meltdowns from the left about the 9-0? I thought one was posted here but now I can't find it.
I want this too
What are these two questions saying? Is it talking about zuckerbucks in the first? Is the second about how people that weren't elected to any office made decisions that ruined election integrity?
QUESTION 1: "Use of private funds in election administration. Shall section 7 (1) of article III of the constitution be created to provide that private donations and grants may not be applied for, accepted, expended, or used in connection with the conduct of any primary, election, or referendum?"
QUESTION 2: "Election officials. Shall section 7 (2) of article III of the constitution be created to provide that only election officials designated by law may perform tasks in the conduct of primaries, elections, and referendums?"
Where are these questions from?
A wi ballot
I am always iffy about constitutional referendums, but int his case I think you are correct. I think thats what this is about.

Wow. That's quite remarkable. Thanks for pointing that out.
I’ve seen the Trump ad, but didn’t know it was in response to a Haley ad…even more glorious in this context

Yesterday on Conspiracies.win someone posted a video of an auction in NY. They were auctioning land in Gaza. Anyone else see it?
Maybe this?
It was a different video but this is just as telling. Thanks for the link. Have a most excellent Super Tuesday DRan.
Welcome fren. I'd dig deeper but pretty busy today. You too have a great day.

The Supreme Court rejected attempts to take Trump off the ballot in a 9-0 unanimous ruling.
As such, we were fully expecting an attack today.
Lo and behold, Facebook is down. Everyone who is used to the "Get out and vote!" notification helping them remember to vote, posts from their friends urging them to vote, messages from family members on Facebook reminding everyone to vote, that's not happening today!
Call the number and report the voter suppression! When I called, they said their phone is ringing off the hook!
MELT THE DAMN PHONE LINES
Cons know when to vote. It's the dims who have to be reminded.
Facebook down.
Looks like Tesla’s down too😂😂😂

Hah!
God Provides Through And To His People. My Morning Bible Read Was Acts 11:19-30, "The Church in Antioch." This Passage Tells How The Antioch Church Was Strengthened By Reinforcements--Barnabas And Saul (Paul). Then Antioch Christians Share Their Love Back To Judea When They Heard The Need.

Stalin died today 71 years ago. Sergey Prokofiev also, but it was ignored because of the former.
Nobody I know of misses Stalin and Prokofiev’s music is eternal.
Once people fully udnerstand what exactly he did, they will never forget him.
There were two kinds of bodycount in Soviet Union. The first was under Trotsky in the 20s, and targeted millions of white christians.
The second was under Stalin and targeted Khazarians in Ukraine.
This was not an accident.
Don't retract. Its a working theory that still needs to be well whetted. But a lot of factors point me towards this threory.
The Disproportionate Death of Ukrainians in the Soviet Great Famine
This increase was caused by biased economic policies of the central government. So its not accidental.
Jewish connection to the Bolsheviks is well documented. Let me know if you need references for this, there have been good articles on GAW as well. What we are interested is the relative alignment of Trotsky and Stalin with regards to this.
Leon Trotsky’s Long War Against Antisemitism outlines where Trotsky was in all this. Everything he did was to push Jews to the top and squash the Christians.
Whereas Stalin is acttually accused of being Anti-Semetic. We can also see the ideology of Stalin's purges, outside of purging the Old Guard when you look at Breznev
Basically the people Stalin was a conservative within the USSR (its quite a crazy notion right?) and Breznev was his follower. If you read what Krushev did, you will see the opposite. He undid a lot of Stalin's "cultural oppression" and tried to liberalize USSR, whereas Breznev clamped it back.
History cannot explain clearly why the Stalin broke is non-aggression treaty with Hitler and why Hitler went against Soviets while he was in the thick of battle on the western front - leading to ultimate defeat and millions more dead.
More importantly, no one can really explain why Hitler and Stalin had a secret pact before the WW2, when Hitler hated everything about Communism, and considered them to be the biggest threat and never had the expectation that the West would seriously attack him. (He even let the British forces escape after their crushing defeat early on).
However it makes perfect sense if you think of both Hitler and Stalin working together in purging the Khazarian assets - both the Commies and the Nazis - and regardless of whether they conspired to do this - is exactly what they achieved with their war. Millions of Nazis and Commies perished in that, and a lot of that devastation happened in Ukraine.
Its not a coincidence that today's Ukraine is the confluence of Nazis and Khazarians. Zelensky's Nazis funded by Kolomoyskyi's. The last two years as it played out in public in our eyes, a lot of this theory started to make sense. The only difference between then and now is that during WW2 the illusion of the division was very strong, whereas now that illusion is shattered.
Almost no one - whether on the left or the right - want to see this side of Stalin for their own reasons. The left think of everyone in Soviet Union as Communists with ideological differences. The right wants to show the millions dead in Soviet persecution as the uniform display of how bad Communism is. But the more I dig into it, the more I come to the understanding that Stalin rose up within Communism and purged it of the Khazarians, setting the stage for its collapse.
Hitler did the same thing. But in his case, the National Socialism was infiltrated and taken over by the Satanists, and when he realised the reality, he made sure that Nazis were defeated, even at his own expense.
Today my daughter was accepted into the high school she'd applied to. She was certain that she'd failed the entrance exam, but she passed. Here in Japan, mandatory education ends at junior high, so high school is seen as a privilege. It places a lot of stress on kids' hearts, but contrast that with shitlibs in America who want to remove all standardized testing because of "muh racism." We had to wait for two weeks to finally learn the result. It was either this or end up going to the vocational school with the kids she wanted to avoid. We're gonna celebrate tonight with some sushi or something.
Congratulations. Your daughter has a bright future ahead.
Excellent. Congrats to her and all of you. Have a bite for me.
Great news. Best of luck, family.
That’s great news! Congratulate her for us, please!🥳
Just wanna say, welcome back to u/WinsAnon

Yes, I noticed 'ole win pop in too. Nice to see some old-timers make an appearance.
u/#kek (for the song...made me laugh).
Ditto to u/WinsAnon.
I read, Jason Kelce announced his retirement today..
I have a question for everybody in the GAW Community: If I go to the polling place today and put my vote in for Trump and no other candidates or ballot measures, will my one single vote be counted?
Not if you live in Arizona. 😂😂😂
I decided I'm going to go ahead and vote for everything to be safe.
Good luck with that. My votes been stolen twice now. I’m not voting this year. It’s a complete waste of time for me.
That single vote should be counted. The machines/human tabulators honesty will determine if that vote counts.
Eyes from both parties are needed to keep a vote honest with paper ballots.
Now I am curious.
About what?
LOL Sorry, bad response on the deleted comment (for another reply, I really should have looked at context).
You said "something happened lastnight here" & I am curious what that something was.
Just found out my political party was switched to libertarian, against my will. I'll see if I can fix it at the pool station tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Edit: I did change it at the polling station before voting. So far, so good. If only I trusted the voting machines and the vote-counters.
Just curious. Does your state have voter id cards, and was one sent to you showing your new party affiliation?
Here's what the OK Elections Board has on their site:
https://oklahoma.gov/elections/voters/voting-101.html
In my State, Vermont, you must vote in the town you live in, if you are away you can get an absentee ballot. In order to register you must take the Free Mans Oath in front of a town clerk. In a town of under 1,000, everyone knows who you are. Paper ballot, in a box. Town officers tally them, save them, and call the results in.
No, I'm in Cali where you can (pretend to) vote anywhere at any time. They sent ballots to 4 people at my address while only 2 live here, and sent them multiple times. They've sent so many official ballots it's like junk mail. I'm sure I had the opportunity to correct it, if I had paid more attention. Or had suspected the registration could have changed. But I can probably switch at the booth; I'll try.
Good luck to you!
Hmmm.
I read an email from the Oklahoma Election Officials that this is the first time Libertarians have met the criteria to be on the primary ballot.
Makes me wonder if there was some sort of "glitch" or shenanigans with voter registration information. A hack???
Am pretty sure that we will see the truth about this soon because there will be scrutiny on the libertarian voters registration changes.
In my life, why do I give valuable time to people who don't care if I live or die?
In my life, Why do I smile at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?
I was looking for a job & then I found a job... & Heaven knows I'm miserable now 🎶
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heaven knows I'm miserable now. "Oh, you've been in the house too long" she said, and I naturally fled...
"In my life, why do I give valuable time to people who don't care if I die"
Gotcha. Stevethefish was referred to this song! Ty
You are welcome.
Because you are a kind and gentle soul. 🇺🇸🙏🏻
u/Jak4 this is for you as well. Our good friend loves to share music & other life joys with us.
https://youtu.be/TjPhzgxe3L0. Song is from The Smiths
Thank you 😂
You are welcome. Many interesting & new musics have been opened up to me from stevethefish. I am glad to have gotten to know them.
That’s good. New things are good, especially good music.
I love love music.
Tyvm. I took a quick listen.
You are very welcome.
Yassss! Amen!
You said it best! Tysvm fren! 😊
I ponder the same question fren! The answer I always come up, ( not knowing your particular situation). GOD doesn't give us more than we can handle, but gives the strongest battles to his toughest warriors!
Light Always beats Dark! Good Always Outweigh the Bad. Even when I can't see it, and, hell,, half the time I don't see it. I was just thinking tonight about things in life and how a whatever diagnosis I got few weeks ago! I've not shared. Who's gonna take care of me? I'm the caregiver! Lol.
Thank God for GA! I rant, I know. We give time to people because We Care, and have Compassion, Empathy, and maybe a little ( oh) I understand! Imo. I'm probably wrong. But, that's me!
Boundaries are hard to set.
Don’t do it. Sometimes we have to move on from narcissists. It’s painful, but it’s necessary. God bless you and have a great day.
https://x.com/NarcWise/status/1763541089753993542?s=20 I think you will agree...
ALL of those and More!
That is a very thorough list.
I agree! I've just started working with one. This past week. Figured it out the first we worked together. Called Her out on it! I don't play anymore after having dealt with narcissistic it almost killed Me, personally!
Every man who walks in, wants her! Omg! Yup, they do girl, go get them! She's pathetic. But.... in reality, she has a problem. Ya know? She has low self esteem. She's not very attractive and in the 3 days I've worked with her, she fucked half our clientele!
Come on! Yet, she thinks, yup, I'll get a smile out of this one. Or I ran this one off. She's 29 with a 9 yr old and a 9 mnth old. The baby daddy is a drunk with a lottery addiction. Omg!
Who am I to judge. Yet, she wants to talk about all these other men! Bitch, idc I'm 47. I could careless! Your a ho! Is what I think, instinct, but, I pray for her! God knows, I pray for her! Idk what else to do!
Narcissistic people are omg! They will have you almost dead, before you can get out!
Number one question I ask Narcissistic people is are you okay? Try it and watch their head spin
I Know! I’ve had a few in my life, and I am free of them now. Praise the Lord for that. Especially when they’re your family, it’s so hurtful. I’m moving on. Severed all ties. Best decision I’ve made! 😂😂😂
I'm so happy for you! I been there! It's an awful thing to go thru, idk about you, but, I wasn't "me" anymore! Omg! All my family and friends ( which little I had) thought I'd gone mental because of the situation. I left 5 yrs ago now! NO CONTACT! NO NOTHING! I moved 4 states away, changed ph numbers and went silent!
👏👏👏 Congratulations! This is a very difficult thing to do. You are victorious in Christ. Never look back you made the right decision.
It was hard . It'll be 5 yrs on 5-19-2024!
Ty. As are You!
they want us divided and labelled. they want us to do it too. somebody's gotta break the chain.
I should have scrolled down LOL
Hear this song that was being quoted/shared https://youtu.be/TjPhzgxe3L0
Just a question? Break what chain? If your speaking of ancestral, then I see that. I'm just asking.
John 1:12-13 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
