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 evolving
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
Fun at the store.
So today this woman was blocking the aisle with her cart while she examined the orange juice. There was JUST enough room for me to squeeze my cart through (between her and the cart) without saying anything but it was definitely "violation of social distancing norms" to do so. Well the kicker is I just happened to have a nice duck ready to deploy. Perfect timing, right as I went thru - QUACK!
Now a couple days ago, a woman had parked her cart in front of the potatoes, but of course she needed something across the aisle. So I stood there expressionless while she got whatever she was getting and figured out her cart was in the way etc. I remained stoic and got a couple potatoes, which she just couldn't handle so she made this sort of fake chuckle/sheesh combination noise, and then she went on with her cart. I waited JUST long enough for her to not anticipate anything coming, and let loose with my best retarded laugh/retard noises combination (complete with Stephen Hawking type hand gestures) I mean 100% short bus.
Mess with the bull, you get the horns....
Gotta say, this paints a vivid picture. Every now and then you come across someone like that in the super market and its equal part annoying and amusing to watch them!
I'm definitely not above engaging people like this either. I actually got kicked out of the store in the second story in almost the same spot for informing a woman whose 3 SMALL children were still masked (long enough after the initial thing it was a thing if ppl were still doing it) that that constitutes child abuse
Edit - oh WAIT! I had that encounter but THEN had a smartass autistic kid in a cart (took me a second to realize he was actually doing this) whose mom had left him at the other end of the aisle saying random crap so I started smarting off back. It was all fun and games till she realized it and came down screaming about not talking to her kid etc etc. So I was standing there calmly explaining I didn't actually really do anything while she continued to throw her fit, but THEN the original mask mom came over and told the store people I did that so they said I have to leave so I handed the guy my basket and said fine put my stuff back (implied: "bitch"). LOL what a morning that was.
Does anyone have video of the crew being rescued from that ship that rammed the Baltimore bridge? Where are they, what did they say happened? What hospital were they taken to be checked out?
So q made a post about following the white rabbit. What sre the chances anything happens on easter that makes waves?

just saw this, what do you think of this tinfoil, kek

Interesting besides the RC being Jesus or the anti Christ part lol
I still think it comes full circle with some kind of amazon type marketplace on X or with X along with gaming. The RC/Elon comms have been undeniable over the last couple years that something big is afoot, bigger than we can comprehend at this time.
I also buy into the notion that our government along with the DTC is aiding in delaying the inevitable due to "national security"
Theirs moar.

Tinfoil is the best DD.
I have 17 upvotes.
Kek
We will find out soon.
Yeah, that's why I kekked. Also as merf pointed out, only half of the NFTs have a sun rise. Oh, just checked the link, they removed the post lul.
Hmm.. in the world of symbology, rising sun is Satanic. Hopefully they are taking back the symbols
I don't know anything about the NFT the do look like they are pointing at Easter. RC is not Jesus but it may be the day our stock rises from the dead.
Good part is i don't have to wait two weeks.
Kek
Ya one week to see if the stock rises from the dead kek
From my view, several of the nfts don't even have a sun pictured:

But they're certainly worth reviewing from time to time.
Good catch, I didn't even bother to verify.
Verification, the destruction of many a good tinfoil. 🤣🤣🤣

NC pedes, does anyone else remember that the car registration stickers changed color each year? Please?
Seems like stickers were red like the old license plate, red letters. Several years ago they started changing the colors. I think to help law enforcement verifying expired tags.
Thank you, someone else remembers colors! Right now everything is white and everyone around me is telling me they've always been white. Even though I clearly recall a condescending lecture from my beloved a few years ago about how of course they're differently colored so the cops can easily tell if one is expired (because I half-joked about not renewing at the plandemic because we weren't driving anywhere). Possible Mandela effect?
We have never purposely not renewed but forgot a few times and for months drove around with expired tags, luckily no tickets.
Looks like in 2017 they went to white and may have stayed that way. Doesn't include the last few years, but gives you most of what I think you're looking for.

I managed to put together an Easter jam before my guests arrive: Easter Altitude
Holy Week: Saturday - In the tomb. https://www.learnreligions.com/holy-week-timeline-700618
THE LAST WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS.
Matthew 27:46 In the ninth hour, Jesus cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Luke 23:34
"I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." Luke 23:43
"Dear Woman, here is your son!" and "Here is your mother!" When Jesus recognized his mother standing near the cross with the Apostle John, he entrusted his mother's well-being to John's responsibility. John 19: 26-27
"I am thirsty" John 19:28 Here, Jesus was answering the Messianic prophecy from Psalm 69:21. "They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst."
"It is finished!" John 19:30 The work his Father had sent him to do, which was to teach the Gospel, perform miracles, and achieve reconciliation for his people, was fulfilled. The debt of sin was paid.
"Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" Luke 23:46 Jesus willingly gave his life.
Not a believer in the Bible as many passages have been debunked. For instances, in Luke 23:24, those words where not found in the first three transcripts discovered of the Bible. They were transcribed in a later version found. Also, ‘Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. “ This was also found in versions transcribed several hundred years later.
spiritually-autistic gamma
Disinfo is necessary.
Are you serious. Yup, turn a blind eye. Good luck
I've had similar thoughts. But I know how hungry my spirit is for the Word in the Bible, so I pray for discernment and read it anyway. There may be a few things in there that man has added, but whoever added them forgot to take out the part where God said that anybody who changes it will have to answer to HIM (Revelation 22:18-19). I figure I'll read it, live by it (as much as I can as a fallen human), and let God deal with the fellas who added the extras.
The Bible is GOD'S WORD. It is HOLY. Whatever you wish to believe is up to you, but I stand with GOD'S WORD as the TRUTH. John 14:2. Do you believe these words?
No, was a Bible believer for years and then started to research. We were created by an Annunaki named Enki in his image.
The truth is I like watching excellent basketball, creative writing, beautiful music, and thinking about God and His works.

Have a blessed day.
Beautiful.
I found this cool Youtube channel that uploads various home movies from years past, showing what society was like at the time.
This one, for instance, shows people shopping at a mall in 1983.
Amazing how much more civilized everything seemed.
We must return.
There's a lot of great videos on various channels of what life was like in decades past. This one has videos of all different decades and eras.
https://m.youtube.com/@TheHistoryLounge/videos
Having lived some if them, and having parents and grandparents that lived the others, I love watching these sort of videos!
80s FTW. Best decade hands down!
My favourite: Playing with friends in an Arcade
90s were better, rave culture (a, e) was better than 80s club culture (c). At least until the music quality level went down late 90s - and of course (thanks Biden) things shifted back into the clubs. And cell phones still were just barely a thing at that point. Now yes, 80s vastly superior for games - I can't stand anything newer really, and the best ones all were generally EARLY 80s to boot, with a few exceptions sneaking in mid 80s or so (e.g. Gauntlet).
The early 90s arcade scene was pretty fun. Ten years after the 1982 video above, there were some pretty impressive lines to knock off the reigning champ in games like Street Fighter II, especially in places like the boardwalk arcades in Ocean City.
90s dance music > 80s dance music, but…
80s new wave > 90s alternative
There was some improvement and some decline as the 80s turned into the 90s, but the worst overall thing was the mainstreaming of hip hop culture. I admit I was into it too when I was a kid, but looking back only some of it was any good and most of it was crap.
It seemed like a higher percentage of people, especially black people, were cool and normal before they were pressured by hip hop propaganda to be monolithic in their style and political stance. How many black people now middle age or younger even know about BB King, Charley Pride, The Four Tops, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, etc? The young people feel like if they’re not into the same hip hop as their peers, they’re not black.
Plus we’ve had over thirty years now of dorks thinking they’re being cute by parroting gangstas.
80s new wave vs 90s alternative - eh, there's a few standouts in each, which I'd call a draw, and a LOT of junk in each as well.
The mainstreaming of hip hop culture was of course done on purpose - I mean we now have white women who should be appalled by the content ignoring it because it's cool or whatever.
Oh HECK no!
70's, last best decade!
No digital stuff, all hands on.
Uh, dance music in the 70s was disco. While not as always-horrific as it's made out to be, things vastly improved once disco became house etc. It's not the tech or the hands, it's the end result.
Example: I'll put the drum tracks on Freaky Chakra's "Lowdown Motivator" up against all kinds of human disco drummers.
Plus, there's the matter of mixing - damn difficult when the beats aren't quantized.
Think of the Olsen twins from full house! Somewhere saggott dead, says how do you knkw who is who..... names a name swallows!! I can't find it right now..
Dave Coulier dated Alanannis Morriset! Hmmm so did yup Ryan Reynolds. Canada.
Me and my sis loved Alanis in the 90s. I sent her this video of a song of hers pre Jagged Little Pill... It was so CRINGE! It's called Walk Away.
Oh, ok!
