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)

-
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
Somebody here posted about the Savannah Banana baseball team a few weeks back. After going to their website, I found a picture of a lady that was holding up a baby in a banana suit, and it looked like it had a Boner. Seriously disturbing. And now this? What type of sick weirdness is this?
Savanna Banana Baby Races ?

I’m sorry, but I can’t help but think, whoever the winner is, is the one who gets sacrificed. The world is so sick and twisted these days. Perhaps somebody here would see the innocence in this, but I don’t. Not after going to their website. They do everything in plain sight these days. Everything 🤮
Edit: I did a little more digging, and I found out they actually have their own 501(c) three the foster children organization.
https://bananasfoster.org/
Edit 2: Apparently they have a special club you can join as well.
It’s the greatest fan club in ALL of sports. It’s a beautiful community of folks who share a love for Banana Ball. It’s where the biggest Bananas (and Party Animal) fans come to never miss the chance to purchase tickets to a show. THIS. IS. THE. K CLUB!
Here’s one of the perks of being part of the K Club - copied and pasted from their website.
EXTRA LOVIN’: You’ll always be on the top of our mind. You can bet your bottom dollar that whenever an opportunity to show you a little extra appreciation pops up, we will hop on it!

(everything about that last paragraph is sexual. These people are sick. 🤮)
Edit 3: Yikes - The have a Banana Ball Camp for ages 6-13. 😭
From the web site: campers ages six to thirteen to learn the ins and outs of the sport that is taking the world by storm. Not only will you get to learn all the rules of what makes this sport so great, but you will also partake in player dances taught by our first base dancing coach, and get used to living outside of your comfort zone!
https://bananaball.com/camps/
They say that the parents are welcomed to stay for the event duration (a few hours). It appears that everything takes place in the open at a ball field.
The foster system?
The Camp?
So what you’re saying, if you’re so confident that you would actually sent your children?
On the surface the outdoor camp appears legitimate. I certainly don't know the inner workings of the foster system.
All these places that deal with children need more oversight and ability to be audited & inspected for wellness checks with no warning.
I agree… over site and unannounced inspection visits - however; it would be very difficult to catch somebody in the act of violating a child. Once a child is violated they literally shut down. If they never approach an adult, who they feel they can trust, to let them know what’s going on… Unfortunately, the cycle will continue with them potentially becoming a predator. It’s very sad.
It’s just the wording that they use for all of their descriptions of what they’re doing. It’s so creepy.

GROOMERS!
I can’t claim that they’re literally fucking kids, but they’re definitely grooming them. This is such a covert operation. But I see them. I see them. 👀 👀 👀
Agreed.
Their descriptions / choice of names seems malicious and have me on alert. Similar to how overt gay people like to behave in public.
🙏 Prayer request for Lauren. 🙏
This is tearing me up inside as I hope it's just a sick April Fool's joke, hence why I'm not making a dedicated post.
Lauren and I were BG/GF back in high school and was my date for Senior Prom. We drifted apart after I went to college in Boston.
She went to a different college, got raped as a freshman, then lost her dad a couple years later. She was often in and out of the hospital with bad ovarian cysts and later decided to have a hysterectomy in her 30's to end the pain. I'm assuming that during this time she got hooked on pain meds as I know she was struggling with depression and addiction. She had spent time at a couple addiction health recovery centers to get clean and sober.
About 5 years ago, she found a guy that she loved who took good care of her. Things seemed to be going great as they were celebrating excellent milestones on her sobriety, had a home together and got some new pets that she adored.
Last week she posted that her mom had passed away from Alzehimer's. She flew out to the midwest on Friday to coordinate and attend the services.
Early this morning, her husband takes over her account saying Lauren was crying for her mom, was missing her deeply and had overdosed at the hotel. It appears to be real as he's begging for friends and family in the area to help since he's now got two funerals to deal with while he's away from home.
Lauren was a Trump big supporter and I worry that the deteriorating state of the world and the loss of her beloved mom were just too much.
I just wish this was a sick joke, but it's probably not. Thank you for any prayers you can send. 🙏💗
Prayers on the way fren.
Two funerals? Are you saying she died of her overdose?
Yes, two funerals.
He stated that her heart stopped and that she passed away. Sorry if I wasn't clear above. It's a lot to process. Most recent updates are that she will be cremated. Possibly in time to be buried with her mother.
Wow. That's tragic. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend/former girlfriend, anon. The death of a loved one can have a devastating effect on even the strongest of individuals, but for those teetering on the edge of self-control it can be even worse. Lauren's grief over her beloved mother's passing was more than she could bear. May God have mercy on her soul.
Heavenly Father, on the passing of anon What-Me-Worry's cherished friend Lauren we ask humbly that You take this woman's soul into Your kingdom where she can have eternal rest, to be free from the many demonic attacks she endured while here on this earth. We ask that You give peace, strength and comfort to all Lauren's loved ones - her husband, friends and any family she has remaining here - as well as to the beloved friends and family of her mother as they're both laid to rest. In Jesus' loving name. 🙏✝️
Thank you Lurker.
That was beautiful. 💗🙏
Dear Lord - Please help Lauren recover from all the physical and emotional pain she has suffered and continues to suffer. Please bring her relief and help her find strength in Your light and compassion. May Lauren find solace in Your glory. Amen.
Amen.
Thank you Fren.

Who's ready for a little riverboat gambling?
Anybody know what has happened to the "black eye" club? Did FJB get one?
Maybe and a "It's April Fools Day" to this post so people pay attention and don't spread April Fool's jokes as real.
To [P] or not to [P]... that is my question.
Just curious. Anyone have any ideas on what the [P] is?
How are taxes unconstitutional? Was talking to my mother about this but I am ill informed
Originally the Constitution gave Congress the power "to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States" in article 1 Section 8. This link has the full text as well as context and history. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-1/section-8/clause-1/
The original Constitution didn't have an income tax but the 16th amendment explicitly gives Congress the legal right to impose and collect an income tax.
This link explains the history of it. https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/constitutional-amendments-amendment-16-income-taxes#:~:text=Amendment%20Sixteen%20to%20the%20Constitution,determine%20it%20based%20on%20population.
There are people that argue that it's unconditional, but if they aren't paying taxes they are absolutely breaking the law and if the IRS ever audits them they'll be in for a world of hurt. Even Benjamin Franklin said the only things that are certain in life are death and taxes. Please, for your and your family's sake, pay your taxes. Anyone that tells you that you don't have to is either very wrong or intentionally lying to you.
Taxes on personal income not all taxes. It's beyond Constitution. It's violation of fundamental rights accorded by God's laws - Thou shalt not steal.
Commercial taxes are constitutional.
Well, I can’t say that you’re not wrong.
I live in Arizona, and I’ve had my vote stolen TWICE now. I’m sick of it. To be perfectly honest I did not vote in the primary, and I was NOT going to vote this year. I had really dug my heels in on this one. My mom’s been trying to talk me around, but I’ve been adamant about it.
But after this thing with the transgender Easter - that’s it… I’m voting for Trump. If they steal my vote, one more time, I will never vote again. NEVER! So let’s hope this time, that Q, the white hats, Trump, General Flynn, whoever the fuck is in charge of this catastrophe, makes sure that we don’t get our vote stolen AGAIN.
AND STILL - I’m pissed off that they’re going to force me to vote again. I’m so angry about it. I’m only voting under duress. You can’t vote your way out of Tyranny 🤷♀️
Me not voting is HUGE! I’ve always voted Republican, I’ve always voted in the primary, I even went to January 6 by myself as a 58-year-old woman. I’ve got a lot of piss and vinegar left in me, but them stealing my vote TWICE really deflated me.
Sooooooo TRUMP 2024 - Leeeeettttssss Gggooooo!
“Visibility” kek!
Remember all, today is April Fool's Day, so don't believe everything you read online today, lest you be the fool.
There will always be HOLD THE LINE.🙏🏻
Okay, so I will do the exact opposite of what you said! 🤣
A couple of people I know who work in hospitals have shared they've really become viper pits. Morale is absolutely horrible and coworkers turn on each other for the slightest of perceived offenses. The few nursing staff who are awakened are appalled about how much more of an echo chamber they've become. People of faith who work there have either quit around the time of the Covid bioweapon, or keep as low a profile as possible. It's remarkable how many staff are atheists or have no religion in their lives. A middle aged OB I know who is devout and often delivers babies for uninsnured mothers, after much prayer, took the vaccine three years ago, knowing the risk, so he can continue to do God's work. He now has a pacemaker.
None of this comes as a surprise to be people on this board, but it's gotten significantly worse in the last two years. Those who work in the system continue to double down. Those in power have no interest in acknowledging their abysmally bad decisions, apologizing for it or promoting ways to reverse the damage. Hospitals and pharmacies continue to promote clot shots. The insanity continues. Medicine is finished.
Not trying to doom, but I'm begging for this movie to end. Several family members have serious medical problems and are hanging on by a thread. I'm not posting this as a "medical psyop," I'm posting this as a guy who just exhausted and grieving over watching people suffer at the hands of a field I mistakenly took as one of healing. Go ahead and downvote me, I don't care. I just needed to vent.
Please research homeopathy. Look for the cures that God has made. The ones hiding in plain sight. Med beds are coming soon. We just have to hold on.
We know several people in the "health care" field and they keep their mouths shut. When in a protected space they will acknowledge the jab is bad. They may have gotten the "vaccine" during the pandemic but they will not get another.
The amount of pain that need to be inflicted on the people is exactly the amount required to wake up humanity. Not a pinch more, not a pinch less.
Understood
I feel duped about Easter 2024.
I know why I celebrate Resurrection Sunday and it is not about the fertile Spring. It is about the new covenant from God through His Son, my Savior, Jesus. I know what the Bible says about the proximity of the events of the Last Supper and Jesus' crucifixion and His resurrection with the Jewish feast of Passover.
Consequently I have decided to celebrate Christ's resurrection every Sunday until April 28, 2024 -- the Sunday of Passover week 2024. Then, I may celebrate even beyond that.
Watch out for the sneaky deceivers who try to lead us astray. Research for TRUTH.

Have a blessed day.
Because He lives - I can face today and tomorrow. Celebrate Christ's resurrection each day fren!
Amen!
Lot of people dont like to hear this, but the Satanists have managed to take Jesus resurrection and meld it into their Satanic message (rebirth of Sun for example). Personally I think we can celebrate Jesus everyday. Orthodox Christians also celebrate around the time you do I believe.
I like the idea of celebrating it daily. 👍💕
Unstoppable. Strength In Numbers. United. My Morning Bible Read Was Acts 20:1-6, "Through Macedonia and Greece". These Verses Describe Paul And Believers (Turned Leaderss By God) From Many Areas Converged In Troas.
Have a blessed day.
The Bible says the demons acknowledge God, and tremble.
Most of us don't even tremble wtf.
Matthew 25:31-36 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’
Oh my word, I'm so conflicted. I'm a goat from Voat, but I don't want to be a sheep that bleats the 'current thing'!
Just teasing. Great first verse. Matthew is my favorite, probably because I was a fan of Godspell in my youth.
