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
Does the block function actually work here? If I block a user does it keep them from seeing my comments or only me from seeing theirs? If a mod could explain the block function here I would appreciate it
Serious question, pedes, please share what you're doing/planning on doing to get your family, especially growing pureblood kids, safe fruits to eat. With the doubts on "organic" and its permitted "safe and effective" untested (or tests were hidden) resin coatings instead of old fashioned natural wax, not being in an area that naturally produces citrus or bananas for example, what should we do? What are all of you doing?
Pull back and only get whatever is locally grown and verified clean? Order or buy more expensive frozen or freeze dried? Try to travel and procure fresh then dehydrate or freeze dry or jelly/can our own? Thanks all for your thoughts and input.
I stopped eating citrus, if I lived down South I would still eat it, when I lived in Fla for a short time, I rented a house that had 2 orange and grapefruit trees, very old and mature trees, that was something. But for the past few years I just eat fruits from the northeast and from the market where I know they are strict about organic. Apples, blueberries, raspberries and black currents I grow, and I pick a lot more at organic farms for freezing and applesauce. I do love those Amish peaches though, from PA, and there are organic options for those, cost a fortune but its the best part of August.We have an enormous food co op right in town and I trust them and their produce. I buy by the bushel and pick by the gallon, from trusted sources and freeze, and make jams, the black currants are an acquired taste, but so healthy!
Okay, so local or known to you. Maybe a special trip or two is in order. Yeah, I grew up in SFla, once upon a before-Andrew time we had an avocado tree, a pink grapefruit tree, a limon tree, and a Valencia tree. Best backyard ever. A different place, after, had mini banana trees we planted ourselves. Ah well.
Do you live south? Papayas and guavas should be safe, mostly imported from Mexico. People will advise against them for not being up to "USDA standards" but that for me is a selling point. And so far, even the papayas I buy from walmart have no coatings or pesticide feel/scent
We are in NC now, so have started trying to plant berries and table grapes. Avocados, lemons, etc ain't gonna happen unless we get super rich and build a big greenhouse lol
Been looking at frozen pulp fruit and frozen juices, but those are sort of blind purchases too
Well, one thing I’m doing… I pet sit for a couple who has their own chickens. Eggs are part of my payment. My mom loves the eggs. They’re delicious. There are also women in my Bible study who grow some of their own veggies. Anytime somebody bring some thing from the garden. I definitely grab a few. We have been growing our own herbs, which I really enjoyed. I didn’t know how great it would be to have fresh dill and fresh basil to cook with. It really makes a huge difference. I also heard of a butcher in our area that only carries clean meats. Haven’t tried that yet, but probably will soon because we have a new freezer. Starting small right now, but every little bit counts.
Absolutely. We decided to start our little food garden some years ago, to learn and have clean veggies, and we found local farmers for other things and to learn from. Both our moms always grew fresh herbs and other little things, we've been slowly expanding on the ideas. But veggies and herbs are one thing, fruits kind of get into a different territory. We've had bad luck with our six little fruit trees, peaches plums and apples, in that we've got wooded area and are still clearing space... Wind storms brought down surrounding trees that smashed our little guys and they're still recovering. But we can't do citrus in this zone, or bananas, avocados et al.
We source or meat from people we've gotten to know personally, we built a coop last year and raised chicks that are producing happily now. Wound up with two roosters and learned why that wasn't a great idea, so then learned how to render one (who was being a real ass to the hens, they're still recovering too, aprons...).

Trump as Joker… hilarity, sorry for source.
One time, in middle school,
this bug flew right inside my ear.
when i dug it out with my finger.
it was stuck in my ear wax like Han Solo in Carbonite.
Ima Late Bloomer; musta been the vaccines :DDDDD_
Mate you know you can just buy amber with bugs in it, you don't have to resort to making your own?
Ear Wax is another conspiracy theory.
It’s a natural defense that prevents bugs from getting to your brain and hijacking your nervous system.
I have to culturally conservative friends who love Trump but hate America. They think that America has no culture and stole everything we have. They think that Europe is better in every way and even wanted to move to Italy despite not speaking Italian. I don’t understand it. They also dislike white Americans, despite one being a conservative white woman and the other being part Hispanic and mostly white. I’m getting tired of it.
They’ve helped me out a great deal in life(including red pilling me on Q)and I am grateful, but it’s getting old. I’m not entirely white, only 56%, but I don’t understand the need to look down on others. I’m also pro American and have roots in this country going back before the revolution. They’re kind and generous people but have America Derangement Syndrome. I am so pro American(not pro cabal) and I’ve researched American culture more than them.
Sorry guys I needed to get that off my chest. I love this country like a family member.
It is kind of true. The erasure of nationalism has eroded what could be considered uniquely American culture, which is in comparison to European cultures, is very young. Not only that though, racism and division is also erasing the importance of European culture in Latin America which is further complicating things.
The ONLY way to change this is nationalism, not white nationalism or racially motivated movements, but a revived sense of patriotism and love of what is uniquely American.
However, Old European culture and Asian culture as so very rich and go back much further. It is impossible to escape the importance of these cultures, but what we need to remember is this
Those cultures have continued to flourish here and elsewhere because of America. Without America, the globalists will WIN and those beautiful culture abroad will cease to exist. That is why we must continue to fight for the ideal America represents.
Each region has it's own culture, and even though some traditions came from original immigrants, the regions give their own flavor. Appalachian music, Jazz, for instance, both are purely American. The Boradway musical is 100% made and born in America, American literature differs between regions, as the stories are from those places. American as apple pie started in New England, as does a lot of seafood. I am most familiar with New England as I've lived here most of my life, and there are traditions that come from here, not there. Our Artists like Andrew Wyeth and Alice Neel, pure American, even within a region, there are differences, different accents, different crafts and styles of furniture making. So even if nationalism brings about patriotism, there are still different regions with their own unique "flavor', cajun jambalaya, Brunswick stew, poutine, maple syrup, Miles Davis or June Carter Cash, bluegrass or real country western, all American. Loggers or shrimp boats, snowshoe or water ski, we are a mixed quilt as it is, no need to bring other "diverse" or new traditions in.
Remember people left those old European countries cause they were shitholes for the poor.
It is true that a free America is the biggest threat to the Cabal, but the issue is that they think that America has NEVER had a culture. It’s definitely not true, but even if you try and name the regional cultures they’ll say, “well that just proves that America is just not unique because these cultures came from European ones.” It’s difficult to see someone who is red pilled blatantly hating the USA.
That attitude is a learned behavior taught to peasants like this from the legacy monarchist's that still rule Europe. Monarchists, communists, and nazis all despise America, and constantly push their Anti-America propaganda on the unaware.
How wonderful!

Lazy Sunday watching Theo Von with Kid Rock. I could probably hang with Kid if I could over look the cursing, smoking and drinking. Some things he says I find myself saying all the time.
why do we have to struggle with food seal’s because an idiot poisoned people? Just kill em instead of locking em up for a few months👏
I like most of Theo’s but I can’t look at him when he talks. I know he can’t help it. I’m not criticizing and normally don’t look at people’s flaws. That doesn’t have anything to do with if you are a decent person! His bottom lip pokes out when he talks.
Theo Von YouTube #491, it’s over 1.5 hours. I usually stop and start these.
Thank you to each and everyone of you here. I appreciate everybody’s vigorous conversation and ideas and concepts, regarding what’s happening in the world today. Coming here is good for the brain. Keeps us alert, and I’m looking forward to a great day.
👏👏👏
I'm with you🏞🏜🏕🏖🌊
Thank You 😊 Enjoy your conversation.
The Corruption of Our Nutritional and Medical Guidelines, Dr Chaffee
Our guidelines aren't just wrong, they are corrupt. Even though Coca-Cola alone spends 11 times the amount of money on nutritional research than the NIH annually, it's not just the the Big Food companies behind it. Behind it from the beginning, and even founding some of the largest Big Food companies such as Kellogg's and Sanitarium Foods, lies another entity who has influenced the guidelines, the WHO, the McGovern Report, and even the curriculum of nutritionists and Lifestyle Medicine doctors. To find out more about these shady dealings and why you cannot trust even what is taught in nutritional science classes at major universities, you won't want to miss this presentation!
****TRANSCRIPT
. Seventh Day Adventist ideology underlies plant-based movement
. Seventh Day Adventists own plant-based food companies
. The DAA attempted character assassination of orthopaedic surgeon Dr Gary Fettke for successfully treating his diabetic patients with low carb
. Majority of nutritional research is funded by industry and is highly conflicted
FYI: this Neurosurgeon Doctor lives Carnivore eating lifestyle and has a YouTube channel dedicated to this and corruption of government and medical system. I’m not trying to promote changing your eating habits. Only sharing good information and the corruption of medicine, doctors and food companies.

The book of Genesis refutes climate change among other horrors that the devil wants us to fear. Behold-
8:21, 22 And the LORD smelled a soothing aroma. Then the LORD said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.
“While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winters and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease.
I highlight all of my scriptures and green that support the creation of God. I love it. Thank you for sharing this.
If anybody still has facebook, feel free to go here https://www.facebook.com/ARlibertynow and troll. They've given themselves a nifty name, "Arkansans For Limited Government," but what they actually mean is "Arkansans For The Codification of Baby Murder Into Our State Constitution." Something tells me they're not really Arkansans....

Anyone else thinks Lasagna smells like vomit?
My entire life it always smells like vomit.
Tastes good tho.
Is it just me?
🤣 it’s the cheese. Good cheese stinks! I like Lasagna but it’s not my favorite Italian dish. I have cooked it a few times and it’s not worth the trouble. My local Italian restaurant has great pasta and I’m supporting a small business. Say lasagna as it’s spelled😀 My husband and his late best friend always screwed up words like this. Knife (k- nife) I can’t. I told him not to teach our grandchild. It’s become a big laugh with us. Hold your nose and enjoy your pasta.
I remember as a kid I had a cousin who loved blue cheese. I thought there was something seriously wrong with her, and then I grew up and enjoy it myself, but yeah, it stinks.
As a kid I ate blue cheese dressing on salads and don’t touch it today. It does stink very badly.
The other day i saw these 2 old ladies waiting for their car battery to be jumped started.
I asked the driver if she needed any help.
She told me,
(Instead of “Triple A”, the car insurance company)
Charcuterie boards, yes! This is what we do for meals sometimes. We just have cheese, crackers, fruits, olives, and crunchy vegetables. But the cheeses have to be top notch. I love Irish white cheddar, and triple cream brie cheese! Anything less than triple cream is rubbery and gross. We love it love it love it.
Parmesan… Yes, please and thank you, but it needs to be grated freshly each time you use it!
But this is me speaking from the Ghee and Tallow club - NO rancid oil’s please! 😂😂
I’ll have to try the bresaola.
Thanks for the tip because my mom is really into this stuff.
I’m not a drinker, but my mom bought some Prosecco for my 60 th birthday. We liked it so much we got another bottle. We usually have the Prosecco with the charcuterie board. 🥂
Edit: I just looked it up and the pictures online look delicious. Thanks a lot… I want this for dinner now too. But I’m having homemade chili.
I have so much Parmesan cheese in the fridge and really don’t like it. Every time my husband picks up pizza at the local Italian place he gets red pepper flakes and Parmesan. I think he has an issue🤦🏻♀️ I’m married to a nut.
Very true! This restaurant has parm & red pepper in little condiment cups in fridge for take out. It’s not fresh but a few scales above the plastic grocery store parm. It actually tastes good. I used to put parm in my spaghetti sauce, gives it a good flavor.
i have a cat that could be cast in a live-action Garfield movie so HOW DARE U
I love cats and miss having one. I’ve had some crazy cats. My last had a major attitude but she was funny. Our dog is terrified of cats so no cats right now. Enjoy your 🐈
I added to my video about exposing the Climate Change Scam. I believe this is pretty good proof that theyre using climate change to funnel money from taxpayers in Nova Scotia Canada into large NGO's like the UN through the paris climate accord agreement.

If you wouldnt mind giving it a listen and sharing your feedback that'd be great.
I watched it. Thanks for sharing. Agreed, the publicly-shared “climate change” narrative is a scam. It’s a spin off of a corporate-based strategy to surpress freedom, which has been in place for 100s, maybe 1000s, of years.
I came across this comment (next paragraph) from a fellow anon here at GAW, and thought it applies to this climate change scam, and to the craziness, evil, deception, etc. we are all experiencing in the world.
America (or any other Country where greed and control is in charge) is like that kid at school. Takes both sides of a fight. Usually will instigate the fight from behind the scenes. Make money off of it. Be the first to condemn fighting at school. Teachers pet. Steals from her purse. Tells a few of his plans, then gets those students in trouble to show his power with the teachers. I mean basically everything bad. Think Satan in junior high school. That’s America at times like this situation.
Not gonna lie man im not gonna watch it because climate change is scientology in the sense im better off if i pretend their bs doesnt even exist
but i also just didnt wanna scroll by and ignore your post. climate change is just SUUUCH a scam that i dont need to click that at 3 am to find out CC is BS lol
You're stuck on an island and can only expose 1:
Israel is the head of the snake!
Butt checks, I love a good tan. Hopefully it’s a tropical island so I can work on my tan and it’s not cold. I’m going with cheeks out ☀️
Cheeks Out 😂😂😂
Lets not spoil the vacation !
guess im exposing my cheeks like i got an onlyfans
Just wanna say keep your heads up, and I hope my own Sunday goes well because last week (also my birthday weekend) I was too sick to make it to church or work
If you're here seeing this, there's a reason you found this community just like there's a reason I did. God bless, and I know the movie feels long but just go take a bathroom break and get some fresh popcorn frens lol
As i always do - I'll toss in a link but this time it's gonna be this Trump clip - not a random song

The Movers finally arrived...Broke a couple of pieces of the china mom and dad gave us, (grr!) scratched up the table, and broke two coffee table glass pieces. So we are claiming damages, I believe. But at least everything arrived. I estimate damages in the 1500 to 2k range- Not too happy...
Movers suck.
My best friend and I used to do home repairs and things around the house for this eccentric woman we knew. She moved from Tempe to Flagstaff, and we ended up moving all of her fragile objects our self in a U-Haul. It took us three trips.
The movers came and took all the heavy items, and bulk furniture. She paid us a lot of money to move all her valuables. Of course, we didn’t break one thing. 👏👏👏
2 Peter 3:9&10 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.
