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

I watch the cooking show Chopped -- crickets were a basket ingredient. And the smug chefs that have to KNOW BETTER that they shouldn't be eaten & they have parasites ATE IT... and said they loved it. 🙄🤮
I’m sure they were paid a nice little chunk of change to lie. Things people will do for a buck. 🤡
I hope they all got parasites from it, such a bunch of Nero-complex judges anyways.
😂😆👍
I just realized that the word "man" in 2 Thess. 2:3 can also be used to refer to a GROUP or CLASS of men! Hello papacy! "Men of sin"
444 (anthrōpos) relates to both genders (male and female) as both are created in the image of God – each equally vested with individual personhood and destiny (cf. Gal 3:28). Accordingly, the Bible uses 444 (ánthrōpos) of a specific man, woman, or class (type, group) of people – i.e. mankind in general (inclusive of every man, woman and child; see also 1 Cor 11:7). (435 /anḗr specifically refers to a male and 1135 /gynḗ to a female.)

The "son of perdition", rather, the class of men who [5207 hyiós – properly, a son (by birth or adoption); (figuratively) anyone sharing the same nature as their Father.] share the same nature as "destruction, ruin, loss, perishing; eternal ruin." (apóleia) The "dark ages" sure saw a lot of that!
4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Just saw this at work rn.
Jews and Romans, one mandated Christ be crucified and used the other to carry it out. Something to think about.
Today they are known as Democrats and Republicans.
Question of the Day…
What was the make and model of your first vehicle and how old were you? I’ll go first…
My first car was a Sunbeam Alpine white, 4speed manual, convertible. I was 18 years old, and my best friend and I loved driving around in that car. The alternator went out on it, and her and I repaired it ourselves. One night I was driving down the 405 freeway in California, and I was racing somebody and we threw a rod. That was the end of that adventure. My following two vehicles were all manuals. I finally settled into a 1987 Mazda MX6 automatic.
My first car was a 1969 Mercury Cougar. It was beige with a black vinyl top. It had a 350 engine with dual exhaust. It was in great shape and was well taken care of. I bought it for 800 dollars from my boss at Baskin Robins. I also went to church with his family so it helped. I was so excited to drive it to school and soon as I turned off my road the battery died. I left it sitting there and walked back home.
Started out a great story and then ended up a bummer. I’m sure that you went ahead and got a jump for your battery. But a mercury cougar yay - bad ass!
Yeah I loved that car. It did not have power steering so I wore my self out turning that sucker. Would give anything to have another one, but wouldn’t be able to afford one now.
Mine was a AMC Matador. Rust colored. Was driving to a friends wedding with another friend and the engine fell out. Literally fell out! My Dad came and got it while my friends Dad loaned us his Caddy. My friend picked a guy up at the wedding and she wanted to ride with him to her house about 15 miles away. Just so happens the road was being repaved and was closed. I drove the caddy off the road into the construction zone. Got it stuck and had to walk to the local pig farmers house for help In the dress I wore to the wedding. The farmer put me on the tractor and drove me back to the car. He pulled it out the caddy and sent us on our way. I still beat my friend to her house with the guys friend and the two of us sat about an hour on the front porch until she showed up. Lol I tease her about it all the time. Even though it been like 45 years. Oh and Dad got me another car... a1980 Olds omega. No more engine falling out for me!
What a great story! that’s how it was - back of the old days. if you broke down, neighbors would help out, if you broke down again, neighbors would help out again. Thanks for sharing that. It put a smile on my face.
Ps… that was a cool looking car.
Had a 78 Chevy Monte Carlo at 17 years old. It was pee yellow with a 💩 brown pinstripe. Flipped the air cleaner cover upside down so it would sound like it had slightly more than 160 hp out of a smog choked 305ci (5 liter) engine.
Had super deep tread snow tires on it and when it snowed heavy in Boston, I could make it spin both tires so the "noodles" of snow flying out the back of the car would land on the hood of cars tailgating behind me. They usually backed off quickly. 😂
The metal center caps held on to the steel wheels with very weak clips, so hitting any pothole deeper than the thickness of a nickle would jettison the caps deep into the woods. I could usually find them after a few minutes of fighting off mosquitos and ticks.
Sounds like a wonderful experience. I’m sure the tailgaters got the message definitely. 👏👏👏
Edit: my boyfriend had a car like this and I loved it. It really took off. Vroom
My first car was a 1976 Jeep CJ7 and I was 21. I was a late bloomer in many ways...
It had a loose alternator belt, so I left it running a lot or made sure I always had jumper cables! That got my feet wet for fixing my cars myself and still do to this day.
Loved that thing, had a blast in it. That was in 93.
Just bought an 08 Mini Cooper S for commuting, okay and fun, at a great deal. Turbo needs work which I'm tackling this weekend.
Soooo basically… A real Jeep not one of these new chincy ones 😂😂😂
Exactamundo!
Good morning Mods. I've been getting nasty DM from Jscholl13 and JScholl17 for a few weeks now. There was a post awhile back that he was threatening some women on the board. Here is his most recent message this morning. Edit: Apparently, this is a fake Jscholl13&17. They capitalize a lower case letter to replace the l.
from Jscholl13 sent 10 minutes ago Keep living your sad fear life that will never come true. If the one thing you look forward to is the end, then just jump off a bridge, freak.
You can’t fix stupid SBL. Ignore them.
Anytime you see any comment from this person, don’t bother even reading it. Just block and move on. Don’t even give them your attention. That’s what they want. They want control and attention. That’s what sociopaths and narcissist are seeking after. Just don’t feed them.
Thanks for your comforting words and strong advice.
👏👏👏 I get messages from them as well. I don’t care because their words have no power here. They affect me very little.
😂😂😂
Those are fake accounts, using capital i instead of l. Just block them and reeport them to scored.co/c/meta
That will explain why they keep getting through after I block them. There are subtle changes. Crafty fellows. Thanks for the advice.
And you might want to unblock the real ones!
The real one probably has not sent me a DM? If he has, it was not a friendly DM. As a rule it is very rare I get a DM from anyone.
No the real ones probably did not send you a DM
The real one seems to be a regular contributor to the daily task of posting interesting and engaging topics and subjects.

Have a blessed day.
Hallelujah 🤗🙏
Update on my brother in law, they think the initial feint Wednesday may have been his heart stopped for a few seconds. There was some abnormality in his EKG and apparently Wednesday night at the hospital his heart stopped for 8 seconds.
After an echo they'll assess and fit him with a pace maker.
Thanks all for your thoughts and prayers!
God's peace & blessings on us all in these trying times
Good news ❤️🙏🏻
thanks for the update, i'm glad to hear they got to the root cause. make him write down all of the particulars about the pacemaker and how everyone around him can help if there's a problem. God bless you and your fam.
👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Just want to say, I know of two people in my circle who have had pacemakers installed since December.
Yeah, and he did have a precovid heart issue but I'm sure the vaccine and a booster or 2 didn't help.
I’d bet you’re right. I still think God stopped them from going to Italy for some reason. This kind of stuff happens to us. Example: my husband and I were planning a trip to D.C. for the January 6th event. We had a financial issue come up that inhibited us from going. Thank you, God! We often comment on this to each other. We’re both thankful for the interference 😅.
Amen, when God closes a door we may not understand why, but it's for a reason.
Thank God for that indeed!
While I'm sorry to hear the trip to Italy was foiled, it is such a blessing they were not in the air when this occurred.
Also, having you there for support must be such support for your sister. PTL fren!
Indeed, I'm happy I was there just so my sister didn't have to come down and find him like that.
I was going to do some repairs on my car while there, and dog sit, but still going to so one less thing for her to worry about
Tomorrow is our 20 year anniversary. Quite obviously what she wants most of all is divorce papers. Prayers for God's will be done, frens. Not wasting your time with speshole poest dedicated to muhh calamity. I'm a failure as a human being and most of all a husband, not worth the shitpost. prayers for God's will is all I want frens. Fuck life but I'm going to keep carrying on like a robot regardless. Cuz fuck suicide, i'll keep taking up this cross, just like my Master. GOD'S WILL BE DONE
Well HSTA I’m sure you have been an awful human being, at some point in your life. But so have I, and every one here, whether they admit to it or not. That’s the first step is to acknowledge it, then change it. You are the only one that can make the change, but only with Gods help. It might be a long hard road to save your marriage, but anything worth having is a long hard fight. Divorce is awful, been there , done that and got the Tshirt. Make it your goal to save your marriage. I’m cheering for you 🙏🏻👍
It's my only goal
You’ll be fine, I know you will.
Begin to try to see yourself as the Lord sees you, worthy. His beloved son! A masterpiece.
I am sorry for all you are going through and feeling, your sentiments are similar to someone near and dear to me.
Dear Lord, thank you for another day that was not promised but was given. Please clearly show HSTA how he can better follow you today. In Jesus' name, Amen.
That last two sentences do not do a good job of convincing me what a horrible person you are.
The path is long and winding and you seem well aware of it. Indeed, God's will be done.
So I'm reading this as you're projecting it's quite obvious to you that's what she wants.
Also reading this as that's not what you want.
After 20 years you have a better idea than some rando on GAW. Not everything works out, but 20 years seems worth trying to, especially keeping God's will in mind.
God's peace and blessings be with you.
Never giving up on my family. Other than Jesus Christ they are all i have. Thank you fren, may God bless you as well.
If you are willing to admit that you are a failure as a husband, then you are far more advanced than many other guys who get divorced. Being humble enough to admit this means that you may still have a chance, unless you want the divorce as well.
Hecklefish is my spirit animal. Fear the Crab Cat!
Reference to the WhyFiles?
Yes! I want to get a Hecklefish plushie.
Can confirm the plushie’s teeth are creepy lol.
