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
Thoughts on why DMV offices are down today?
Can the Moderators see all my spelling errors and sentence changes prior to me editing them?
I'm still looking for that pencil eraser icon next to people's posts; I'm not seeing it.
What if there's multiple edits; can the Moderator see all of them?
u/94f450d any pooch update? I've got some family members asking if there's been improvement the last couple days.
I am trying to figure out why certain terms are used here. Like the term “dasting”. I can find no definition for it anywhere. And then things like “plane fags” or “pedes”. Is there a reason for this? I am trying to figure out if this is some code or something.
Trolls used to troll pedes with the name fag, so pedes said okay... Imma fag now. and it disarmed the trolls with basedness. RIP Lil' FIGhTER....
“Dasding” is a corruption of “interesting” by way of “interesting”.
“Fren” is a familiar way of greeting friends here.
The etemology of “fag” and “faggot” is more complex. It can be derogatory when referring to people, places or things external to the community here, but not always. There are homosexuals external to this community who are referred as such but in a familiar, non-confrontal way.
There are several categories of “fags”. They have specialized knowledge of some interdasting subject. Plane fags and plane fagging refer to tracking aircraft with the use of several software products that use publicly available tracking data. Typically, government executive transports are major objects of this scrutiny.
“Pedes” comes from “centipedes”, a complimentary title whose origins are in the old days of Reddit.
Follow along and try to pick it up by context.
dasting is short for interdasting which is another way of saying, interesting. Pedes comes from centipedes, an old term and colloquially used as friends in the community - and plane fags refers to people who are into planes, they might be pilots, they might have an interest in and follow plane antics and movement websites or channels like monkeywerx. It all makes sense, fren.
There are lots of new words, I collect them.
Troons, Jannies, Shadiley, Looshe, Freemartin, Ham Planet, Coomer......
Lots of them come from the chans (another new word)
Does anyone here run Linux with Windows 11 loaded too. Does it cause problems? To load the free Linux OS?
Not on the same drive, thats asking for trouble. Separate drives only.
Thank you
I'm still seeing a steady progression of people more fired up, frens. it's working and the redpills you dispensed have worked.
If you have any particular stories to share, we always love to hear encouraging stories.
almost all web stuff lately, several who were hard core anti trump are deciding he's the best option. lots of normies coming out of the woodwork, finding their voice.
the biggest thing I see is people motivated to vote while accepting that there's been fraud. wanting to break the cheat.
I have gotten my kid to accept that 'we're from the government and we're here to help' is a joke that just keeps on giving. 😁
i'm going to get out more IRL and see.
Thanks! Good to hear about your kid.
Thank you for sharing!! Encouraging.
Oh To Be Truly Free. My Morning Bible Read Was Acts 16:16-40, "Paul and Silas in Prison". Verse 25 Says, "About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them."
The Song: https://youtu.be/dhU-Omwg2rU
The Bonus Song (dedicated to u/TNBanjoMan and u/Mary911) : https://youtu.be/y4KJ4lSq8XA
Have a blessed day.
Thank you for these beautiful songs. Charity Gayle is so anointed in her worship and I love Bluegrass. My grandfather was a guitar picker. My brother plays a banjo and my cousin and uncle play mandolin and guitar as well. Can’t get enough of this music ❤️
Yes it is, and it’s that deep cry of the soul that will save our nation from hell.
I absolutely LOVE this song, "Gospel Plow." And yes, I do perform that when playing out around town. I play with a group of long-time friends and associates in folk music circles, and this is one of my go-to songs.
Thank you my friend. It is a lovely Appalachian song. I think I've heard it before. But was great to hear it again. Sorry I missed your post this morning. I'll have to be more observant from now on as General Chat is the first thing I read when I get up. It must have been those half-awake eyes of mine. It don't pay to grow old, but we must all do it. God bless you my friend for thinking of me and TNBanjoMan. I am mighty grateful and I'm sure he is too. Have a blessed day.
Just posted it. Thought I would add a dedication to you after I read that you would be planting potatoes soon. The Gospel Plow seemed appropriate. u/TNBanjoMan provided the bonus song 11 months ago when this Bible read was first posted.
Wow, excellent memory! Another tune I like to play and sing is "Ain't No Grave," and I have sung it at two funerals. I accompany myself on banjo (double-D tuning, using the Dm, G, A chord progression).

Here's one more, and I have sung this MANY times over the years with a friend of mine. Where The Soul Never Dies:
https://youtu.be/c0VAIBhFIx8?si=-UIr2kY1zj2qp3wc
The original Chuck Wagon Gang was performing and recording as far back as the 1950s. Over the years, original members have died and been replaced, but as far as I know the group is still touring and performing at churches, auditoriums, and camp meetings around the country. I most recently (a couple of years ago) saw them on a Southern program called "Song of the Mountains."
I like the way that, although the group members have changed over the years, they have managed to retain that old time gospel sound and simplicity of the instrumentation... a guitar, a bass, and an occasional piano.
Have a blessed day, friend.
One more favorite the Chuck Wagon Gang does is Looking For A City: https://youtu.be/RwS7VCtRS6o?si=GxTu3Brp8YkYxa_d
I actually have performed that piece, but the full name of it is "Sweet Beulah Land." My favorite rendition of it is by The Chick Wagon Gang, a gospel group that goes back to the 1950s.
Here is their version: https://youtu.be/yNAgEjSTyTA?si=OwnnVPYoJj_fH60H
Loved this. I needed to hear this today.
Thank you as that song is a blessing over my potato crop. Last years didn't do so good. I may have you post it again for next years crops. i am not using a plow per se, as my son will use his tiller, but it has the same meaning. I love all types of music, as my father's family were all musicians. Bill Monroe and Lester Flatt are actually in my family tree. My great grandmother was a Monroe. My father and his father played fiddle, 2 uncles played guitar/flattop and his mother and baby sister played piano. They had their own family band and my grandfather played at the (old) Grand Ole Opry before it was live at the Old Ryman Auditorium. So music is in my blood. Thank you again my friend. Have a much blessed day.
Thanks MAGAKitty. We're in this together and the music helps.
It’s Spring time! Here’s my last Winter tune: ❄️☀️Solstice☀️❄️.
Today I might sample Stravinsky or Vivaldi. Still unsure which one.🤓
Once again, another great tune. Today I will be planting potatoes. Spring is here.
Thank you for listening, dear Mary! I wish you an happy and prosperous gardening!🤗💐
My son/ who is still unemployed at this time, is going to bring his tiller and till it up for me. Then I'm going to plant potatoes. Saving the other portion for when I get ready to plant the rest. George and I went to Tennessee yesterday to Rural King a farming store and bought some black garden plastic. I AM NOT WEEDING THIS YEAR. Going to give it my best shot for an abundance of veggies this year. Got to go buy some bags of Cow Manure for best fertilizer. It will be glorious.
I pray your son soon finds something both relieving financially and technically challenging and interesting.🙏🏻💐
Usually, he's already found one, but I suppose the Illegals are taking them all up.
Now that i'm being more active (finally) these posts have came to be my favorite posts. I love seeing everything people post - it ranges from something simple as "have a good day frens" or "hey didja hear about..." to things literally biblical (worship and scripture)
And as always I have another random song that I hope all my frens here enjoy - One of the guys in it is also one of the guys in the Boycott Target song I posted ( "Target is...targeting kids" )
His youtube channels username also shows up as "Mayor of MAGAville" lol so lets just say if he doesnt ALREADY come here - he'd certainly fit right in. And hey Forgiato if you ARE here well keep up that MAGA fueled pro-American patriot shit you
anyway - the song is called "proud american" that should be enough to at least check it out lol- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y5McuRDAck
this is how i love it too - catch the post early so as many people possible see the song- then later sometime tomorrow i get to come back and read this daily with a comment section full of great stuff to read
Lot of China/Taiwan action, folks!
Do tell.
i wish Journalism/News/etc was actually was its supposed to be and we could actually get a look into what is going on over there. We think the water is starting to boil here but they're ready to add the pasta lol
John 7:45&46 The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?” 46 The officers answered, “No one ever spoke like this man!”
"36:But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37:For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
-Matthew 12:36&37
Romans 10:8-11 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
All I have to say to that is
clears throat
JESUS IS LORD
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, The First Man, The Son of God, The Incarnation of God, died and upon resurrection destroyed Satan's grasp on creation. He is God and holds all authority over everything. Bow now before His Holy Presence and accept the only Sacrifice that counts as yours. Accept Him as King now or die forever. He is coming soon. That is all that matters. The warning comes from True Love but people hate it.
Amen!
Since I love showing people here music both worship and maga/American-
I have a song for you, Fren. I actually showed some of my church family after a service one Sunday and it made my Bishops wife cry (in a good way lol)
https://youtu.be/vsIudAiM7pY?si=RhRkdsPOyzbtoGmp
God bless, fren.
Thank you fren! Enjoyed it a couple times.
<3 That's why I always post music. Is everything for everyone of course not.... if it was, music wouldnt mean anything to anyone. but... when i link the right person to the right song It's always awesome to me. (Especially because if im posting it, I probably already love it lol)
But, when it comes to stuff made as Worship that hits different when it finds a new set of ears.
Btw - You might enjoy this one, you know the guy who made it (ps - its me LOL) but yea, consider it rough draft because i like my verses but my chorus....well, i'm much better at writing lyrics than I am at singing choruses haha. So, eventually I want this song to turn into something where one of the girls who sing the songs during our sunday services does the chorus instead of me. (My church is my neighbor. Like, i literally open my backyard gate and im i am in their parking lot lol. So, on a day we have potlucks or whatever going on, there's definitely time.)
heck maybe I didn't even need to tell you that big ol' story and you'll like the chorus. I just know what it could be.
Anyway, here ya go. God Bless.

Bless you for that Fren, bless you.
AMEN!
