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
If there is a Nuclear War about to start, it's been some of the most interesting and important time spent of my life on GA.win. Since I'm not far from Canada's Parliament buildings, it might be near the end for me. See you all on the other side. God bless.
Anyone here have a link to the eyepatch mccain meme of his patch really being a glory hole for the globalists? i swear i saw it here and it would be perrrrfect for shit posting on x. :) thank you

Interesting concept: https://youtu.be/l9SGlBUMbeA?si=ZdOGqoFD8qnIEnv_
Soft takeover? I recently looked into what the Chinese are doing in Trinidad - coming in with “investment money” on projects while ensconcing themselves in the community (ie- renaming part of downtown in the capitol city to Chinatown). Then the projects run way over budget (by tens of millions) and time and the country gets dragged into crushing debt. It’s part of a global strategy to ingratiate themselves into a takeover target country under the auspices of helping out and then getting a stranglehold on the target’s financial stability. (I only watched about five minutes of your link so this may be something different. I’ll watch the rest when I have more time).
I think it’s a similar concept.
Apparently Thomas Edison’s teachers thought he was addled and mentally ill 🤷♀️. I guess they didn’t know what to do with the great autistic frog! 🐸

You're stuck on an island and can have only water + 1:
Coffee!
coconut water. but my heart says coffee
Coconut water
Alcohol- whisky
I don’t drink. Although a ‘strong’ proof alcohol would be great for disinfecting wounds! 👏👏
Ya, that's why I would pick the alcohol option. :)
My +1 would be a lady
eh, I'll allow it. I still need that drink selection!
They don't say much about this monster. Happened here in Utah.

Was there any news of the results of CERN's reactivation? I've not noticed any demons flying about. The ones we got are too lazy for flight I think.
That’s hilarious🤣 Probably demons around we can’t see but know different today than last week.
Been looking for new Mandela effects, haven't noticed anything for sure yet. Oddly every hotel room we stayed in on the way back from the eclipse had bathrooms on a diagonal, still can't figure out why, very awkward.
there's a video on x that goes back and forth between a photo of nicole brown simpson and megan kelly trying to show that they look alike. same person? daughter? just interesting the ideas people throw out there.

I have very little income in which to set aside silver, but I do my best to try to buy a silver coin every 3 or 4 months. Not long ago, my husband's boss told everyone he was planning to shut the doors and retire, so my husband recently accepted a new job, in which the 401k option is only available after one year of employment. We were told we had 90 days to figure out what to do with his current 401k, so my husband invested it in precious metals. As a "thank you" we received a 1/4 oz gold coin with King Charles III on it. I have never seen one before. It is about the size of a nickel. Anyway, I am taking advice I have found on this board and trying to diversify my investments (however meager they are) Hopefully this will be enough to weather the pending financial storm???
Well and dandy, except, how would you employ the coins if the grid is down? You do need smaller denominations. We've got some silver rounds, but we also have old money, the sort that was made of silver (e.g. quarters before 1965). Wifey has also collected some barter goods, things that are not perishable but very useful if you weren't prepared, so that we could trade for what we don't have. We got these ideas from reading what survivors of Eastern European besieged cities went through during their wars, where they were unprepared and trapped, and what they most needed, what was killed over. Hint: anti-diarrheals and antibiotics were more important than anyone guessed.
What are the things you stock that aren't perishable but barterable? Besides the antis you mentioned.
I do have a strong supply of anti-diarrheals, antibiotics, various first aid supplies and toiletries stocked, as well as quite a bit of food and ammo, but I am not confident I have enough silver/gold/copper on hand just yet. Still working on it. I'm not sure I know how much to have set aside. Some say a month, some say three months. I am all set as far as food/water, but have not clue if we will be okay monetarily. For now, I will just keep what I can with what we have and leave the rest in God's hands.
That's it. How long? If you figure it out, let me know.
Will do👍
Such a great ending for a fantastic book in a series I am throughly enjoying. The Wheel of Time, Book 6, A Crown of Swords
Glad some friends locally suggested them.
Years ago, when I was on the road a LOT, I started the first one on audiobook, unabridged of course. Got through everything until the original author passed, despaired of it being finished. Luckily they did get it done, but I realized had no idea how to spell anything until I bought the last novels as hard copy years later, lol. Tolkein-level world building, amirite?
Almost a step above Tolkien, though that could be argued either way.
I loved how both of them brought their worlds to life & the interwoven happenings of both are amazing.
This series has me wanting to check out Brandon Sanderson's, The Way of Kings, books that he makes sound like a grand epic similar in scope to Wheel of Time. It looks like he was the author trusted to use Jordan's notes to finish the series.
Is it just me or is it suddenly quite quiet here?🥺
disapppointment is general chat tradition
Silver just hit 29.31
Still.
God Provides The Way. My Morning Bible Read Was Acts 23:23-35, "Paul Transferred to Caesarea". Verse 24 Says, "Provide horses for Paul so that he may be taken safely to Governor Felix.”

Have a blessed day.

I especially like verse 11.🙏🏻
What do you do when someone is obviously trying to scam you online but they haven't picked up that you know it's a scam?
Occupy their time as much as you can, frustrate them and make them question their life choices. If you're a techie, fire up an isolated computer that can be infiltrated and put fake password lists or account numbers, let them chase their tails. If you can, teach out to that British dude that reverse-hacks them. (I can't remember his name right now but he was called upon by Mark Rober, the glitter bombing porch pirate genius and they traced a gang way back to their Indian sweatshop)
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16
You Are the Light of the World -Godspell (1973)

This is crazy. My Womens Bible Study group is studying the book of Matthew. Today we studied the fifth chapter of Matthew, the beatitudes. Matthew 5:1-16. 👏👏👏
Very serendipitous - God-incidence!
I always enjoy a wink from God!
Very awesome indeed. 😉
Happy Friday everyone! Does anyone else feel like the weeks just fly by?
Time does seem to have sped up for me. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It depends on what all is on my to-do list as to how I feel about the chipping away of time lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm 65 and years now fly by!
I remember the slogan, "Don't trust anyone over 30". 😄
Really liked Steely Dan. SpouseAnon and I were about those ages when we met. The age difference didn't seem so creepy to us back then. It's not like it was a decade or two.
The phrase, 'May-December romance' wasn't coined for nothing. Usually the man is the December. In a twist on that, I remember a Burt Reynolds-Dinah Shore thing going on!
I will be 74, time becomes irrelevant, its a good day, or its a creaky day, and then it's bedtime and morning again.
lol. I love this. There is wisdom in these words.
