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
What is the "The Parable of the Prodigal Son"
?
Someone mentioned this to me recently.
Luke 15:11-32
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2015%3A11-32&version=NIV
Arsonist set OK farmers hay bales on fire in Kingfisher and Garfield counties and farmers are upset and worried.
Sheriffs are on the case.
Now the world is watching.
Hopefully they will find out soon to not mess with the people of Oklahoma. ๐๐ป
Not liking Trump wanting to give green cards to foreign graduates of u.s. universities. That's gonna be abused hard by China and India. Someone make me feel better about it.
Edit: rather than Downvote me, how about give me your opinion like I asked.
Q is worldwide fren. Trump knows this. And immigrants are a big part of the plan and victory against the cabal.
This also creates a position for normies. Dems want to bring in the worst. Trump wants to bring in the best.
Thanks was needing a fresh / different perspective. Still sorting my own thoughts on it, and still inclined to dislike it but it's more understandable now.
Has anyone seen a photo of a visibly pregnant Hilary Clinton? Should have been 1979-1980. Just wondering, Iโve looked and havenโt found one yet. Bill would have been governor while she was pregnant. Odd that I canโt find one.
X / Twitter has been acting weird lately. Page won't load, IRL address bar keeps cycling. I know Musk is redesigning the format [going to dark mode] but I wonder if something else is afoot. Update: it loaded a minute after I posted this, but it is still weird. Just curious of anyone noticed anything.
Iโve noticed today that gmail is having issues.
Has anyone else noticed the symbol Apple uses to represent the brand is an apple with a bite taken out of it? Just like the one Eve enjoyed that caused the fall?
Yes... and when I asked chatGPT to draw me the AI's thoughts, it showed me a tree with all the wires like a hard drive symbolizing tree of knowledge because the AI network is built in the design of tree with source/master AI branching out. Gives us something to think about..
Itโs all connected. It goes back way further than most know.
Still waiting for the AI engine where queries are called "prayers"
I just had an epiphany:
I believe the opposite is even truer.
Whatโs a better way to live Prayer?๐๐ป๐ค๐ฅโค๏ธ
Absolutely agree penisse! ๐

It's only four and a half months until November 5.
Just sayin
thought this was interesting, about the person who supplied Ketamine to Matthew Perry, it's a 'celebrity'...
and didn't know he was in a movie called "17 again"๐ค

Anyone remember the Chupacabra?
Someone explain this:
At 5AM I was woken up by my cousin who said we had to go to his uncles farm to see his animals. On the property there was a cage with maybe 50-100 full sized guinea pigs. The cage was built so that it was suspended in the air and the guinea pigs had their bedding, a wooden home, etc.
ALL of the guinea pigs were dead with two distinct red dots near their neck area.
Is this something a Vampire bat could do? Maybe if it could fit in the cage...the spacing between the metal for the cage was too small for even a baby guinea pig to pass through.
I still think about this day often.
One of the hypothesis is science labs are experimenting with genetic mutations. They're trying to create animal soldiers or something. I've seen videos of freaky animals and some are invisble. We don't know what's in the ocean and there are still much to be explored on land.
Snake would be my guess.
I thought that too, unfortunately I didnt check them to see if they were drained of blood or not, which was a common sign of the Chupacabra.
Easy money: bet my daughter 10 pounds DJT would win. Should have made it more.
I'm having total knee replacement soon and in my pre-op yesterday, they asked if I consented to blood transfusion, if needed, though it would be very rare. I hesitated after asking about the possibility of getting vaxxed blood and she said they had no way of knowing if I were to get it, should I consent. My husband has a universal donor type, and I mentioned it, but she said it was too late and should have been done at least two weeks before the procedure. (I did not even know this.) All that said, I did not sign consent or non-consent, as I wanted to think about it and get some advice, (sad that it has to be an issue!).
She said it's very rare that I would need a transfusion and if I did not consent, they would find other ways, whatever that entails.
What do you think? Any advice?
When my husband had a spinal fusion surgery, the pre-op nurses asked him to sign consent for a transfusions if needed. He refused to sign since unvaxxed blood isn't guaranteed. The nurses rolled their eyes, so I said, "I'm sure you got the covid vaxxes, then, but you'll find out, and we won't seem so crazy then." After surgery, nurses took him for an MRI, and dropped him (!!!!!), complications developed and there was talk of another possible surgery. I called a blood bank to find out how my O- son could donate to my husband if it came to that. Here is what I was told: the surgeon needed to write a prescription for my husband to receive a blood donation from my son. My son would need to bring the RX to the blood center to draw his blood. The blood would not be available for my husband for 3 days to allow time "to test and clean it." Thankfully, he didn't need another surgery.
Oh, man!! I am so sorry to hear that! What an awful situation. They over-complicate everything.
postpone the surgery till your husband's blood can be used. This is very important.
This โ๏ธ is my opinion as well... postpone until you can reserve your husband's blood... I'll be praying! ๐
Does it take weeks to donate your own blood to have at the ready? Someone in here did that not long ago.
The nurse said we were past the window for my husband to possibly donate and I was never given the option or anything for storing my own.
Wish I could advise, I'd stay on the side of caution. Will pray all goes well.
Thank you!
I just realized where TF is u/BQnita?!
Been wondering the same and also u/Callmejules
I don't remember seeing her comments either.
What about u/Callmejuls and u/Magula or at least I think that's Magula's name.
u/MAGAKitty
havenโt heard from them for a while
Also
u/94f450d
They left because the mods told him to stop posting about their dogs Cancer story.
However; both Accounts still exist
Edit: u/Undine53
They disappeared off the map as well.
Undine53 gets banned a lot :( Nice to know people remember me :)
My daughter got back from Seattle 10 days ago. My house is full of luggge and packing cases. I am adjusting to her two cats: Ruby a mackerel tabby and Delilah, a white, blue eyed Turkish angora. I am still a dog person but they are growing on me.
Iโm so happy to hear that sheโs back. ๐๐ Those two cats will grow on you I promise. Enjoy the time you have getting her unpacked and reconnecting. itโs Godโs perfect timing, and you have so much more growing together to do.
.Thanks! Right now am praying for her to get saved - its all that matters. She needs to reconnect to God.
Will be praying for her salvation. This is why God moved her all the way across the world, to come be with you. ๐
Bless you fren, prayers are needed. She is a very anti-God atheist, hard to be around at times. I need to stand on my faith and keep looking at the victory Jesus has already won, not at the problem.
Hebrews 11:1 ...faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
u/Undine53 comes and goes. She likes to take breaks on occasion.
Yeah I just checked her account. She made a post yesterday I think. But hadnโt commented or made a post in a couple weeks.
That would be her.
Ola! Hope you are keeping well <3
Ola to you too my friend. I knew you jumped in and out alot, but you're still here. Hope everything is well with you and yours. Are you visiting another country? Asking because of your greeting.
Callmejules
She kind of transitioned over to prayer garden on Discord - and then kind of disappeared from there as well. I think her family put pressure on her to stop coming here, and there were some other family issues.
However; I donโt believe her account is actually deleted. I just think she doesnโt come here often anymore. 27 days ago.
Thanks.
Idk. I assume some people had irl issues / needed a break but deleting the account sounds like pressure from somewhere
u/MagulQ quoted a lot of scripture. I always said their name meant Maga Ultra Q. I believe this is it.
If I'm not mistaken this was the anon who used to post very beautiful pictures with scripture on them. Right before s/he left they announced that they would be doing so (leaving the site/board) because they felt their participation here wasn't in line with their life mission.
Yes. I believe it is.
Account deleted as well ๐
I want to say that u/Magula had a Q in the name somewhere. I haven't seen them on here either for quite some time. And I suppose some people have simply gotten tired of the 'waiting' game and the constant reminder that our world is imploding on itself, that they simply stop researching and go about their daily lives enjoying themselves.
THIS๐
Yeah and u/PepeSee
Both of their accounts have been deleted along with an all-time favorite
u/Rooftoptendie
Itโs as though the three accounts never even existed. Itโs a slow demoralization campaign, ridding this place of longtime favorites. Itโs not so noticeable if itโs one at a time, months apart ๐คทโโ๏ธ -
soon this place will be a shadow of what it once was. ๐๐ญ
agree, and I pay attention to numbers and have noticed top posts, etc don't have as many up votes anymore. I remember posts in the thousands at Voat, not the case here.
I miss what this place was 2-3 years ago, but at the same time, it indicates that we are winning. Those years ago this was one of the few places we could discuss our topics. Now we have MuskMan in control of X and allowing free speech and we have Trump et al with Truth Social. We are spreading out and redpilling normies now that we are being allowed to. This is winning. It's almost like it was planned this way.....
Agreed! This is the to be one of the few places to discuss Q. so yes, having other locations to discuss. That topic is definitely winning.
I think it already is. Shame.
Pepesee was here just a few days ago. BQnita has been gone for a few months now. God bless them.
RTT - gone for about a year now
BQ - been about 3 to 6 months (and she was a MOD)
PepeSee - recently
I feel like it was just yesterday I disagreed with BQnita on something. Ahhh!
I have fond memories of communicating with BQnita. Stay strong Thisishowitstarts.
https://youtu.be/lF7M0FISH5Y
๐๐ฟ๐ป
What the hell pepesee I just chatted with them not even that long ago!
Are you guys worried about the feds coming after you for lawful speech?! This is a hill to die on! Don't be afraid. Well, unless you said some unlawful shit.. then yeah I'd delete it too kek
PS caught a ban, a day or two, then obviously had issue with it so a mod then banned him for 7 days. (Periodically I look through the logs and happened to notice this). I have no idea what was communicated between PS and the mod(s), but the banning mod seemed very even-tempered in the one log entry I saw. I'm guessing the frustration of not being able to have your grievance dealt with "on even footing", so to speak, prompted PS to sever his participation here. He's not the first I've seen walk away for this reason and I suspect he won't be the last. I'm pretty sure this happened within the last week. I doubt very much he was approached-harassed by a fed. PS had very strong opinions and could be combative at times, but IMHO he's a true fighter, true patriot. I'm sure he'll survive and thrive during the coming storms and the (hopefully much better) times afterwards.
I dunno, for temp bans I think it's not so good to delete your account even if you are mad or don't agree with the reasons given. Sometimes just gotta suck it up, grin and bear it.
I also disagreed with PepeSee pretty frequently, but also agreed too. That's just life, same with other posters and me.
I am sad to see any of these go.
I see ๐ well I hope they will make a return one day! I love the strong opinion types! Leaves no room for wishy washy bullshit!
When I first joined here in 2020 (different username), I thought the environment was considerably more combative than it is now, but I enjoy being challenged and, while the attack-mode anons could be caustic (and several were unreasonable shills and/or childish bots), they also serve to toughen us all up. Let's face it, the beastly minions we anons are facing (the marxists, communists, whatever we want to call them) are NOT nice, kind, respectful people. This is not a game. Those who don't have a thick skin need to develop it. We have many veterans here and probably current military as well and these folks are warriors who don't back down. They've faced a lot harder circumstances than anons they disagree with on a research board.
Having a wide range of personalities here, from "wishy washy", as you say, to warrior is a good thing, IMHO. I can disagree strongly with someone on a matter and still respect their opinion. While I'm not happy about some of what I see occurring on this board, there's a lot more going on here than meme-making, research and current news analysis.
It would behoove everyone here to take a deep breath and try to deescalate tensions when faced with a heated exchange. We're in a pressure cooker just being aware of what's occurring in the world -- so imagine the strength of character and self control that those on the actual front lines have had to muster as they've faced down actual horrors that most of us here would hate to even have nightmares about. There will be flare-ups amongst anons, that's inevitable. Learn to choose your battles and when to let things slide and move on.
I, too, would like to see PepeSee and others who have left return as their contributions were appreciated and the more good people we have on board, the better. We're all trying to find our way during incredibly difficult circumstances so whatever their decisions I wish them the best and thank them for all the time and efforts they put into GAW while here.
Perfectly said ๐ฏ
Much agreed.
I think itโs more regarding censorship here. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
But if I say something, then Iโll be banned
๐๐๐
Stop noticing. ๐คช
Censorship of what? DM me
Sometimes I'm convinced this is a honeypot... The LLC that runs this is based in Maryland. Delaware or Baltimore, I forget and it the buildings only public tenant is a cybersecurity contractor for the government.
What ISNโT a honeypot these days, though?
Not like Reddit was any better.

Dunno how that would be when they don't even require email and don't block VPN.
