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 had an interesting dream last night. In the future, cars that are powered by electricity stored in a battery are obsolete. Cars that run on water are state-of-the-art.
What did djt say regarding injecting bleach during covid? My mom won't let this shit go. I'm sure it was taken out of context
I believe he was referring to chlorine dioxide. People only hear the "chlorine" part, and assume that means bleach.
He never said to inject bleach. Here is the clip
Personally for us, it was one of the eye openers as we were already waking up by that time, but the whole "Inject bleach" hoax really hit it home.
Thank you so very much
What does 'shut it down' on X refer to? There are so many options that need to be shut down.
So at work I avoid conversation about politics. Because 1. I have to see them everyday and see them more than I see my family. 2. I like to focus on my job, get things done, and GTFO. But you know the co-workers were always fishing and being nosy. I told them I'd just like to stay away from retards. After that they just assumed I'm a Republican/MAGA. I wonder why (lol)
If heels up is running for president, who verifies the certification of the election on Jan 6, 2025?
If "OUR Leaders" want to fight Disimformation, they need to start with the media. If the news told the truth, then they wouldn't have to worry about "Social" Media.
If everyone in your household is not on board with the Olympics boycott, is there a way to minimize the impact at least? Pick out only certain sports so it's not watched all day. Watch on an alternative? I'm disappointed. Even when I said the opening ceremony was satanic, they watched part of it anyway and said the part they watched wasn't. And their justification for watching the events is that it isn't the athletes fault the opening was bad. 🤷♀️
That's because your household watch sports and TV in general. It comes with the territory.
In my household everyone is too busy with work and when we are relaxing, we're listening to AWK, X22, Alex, Scrolling Twitter, Lurking at GAW, doing laundry/housework. Also, we don't even want to give a single view to the MSM, not even Fox!
Lol we wanted to watch a few sports because of family and friends being in them, but starting with volleyball... Dutch player allowed even tho he's a convicted child rapist. Boxing, two men are in the women's divisions. The athletes aren't wholly innocent, and the only open divergence from woke we've seen was the tennis guy and his cross necklace, and the Brazilians doing sign language Christ is King, and surfboard with Christ the Redeemer statue (which the surfer was prohibited from using).
good point
These sports hardly get any airtime so if you enjoy any niche sport watch it
But I would avoid basketball, soccer, etc
Very little chances to watch track, gymnastics, etc
So there is a lot of astroturfing on social media about women in the Olympics and uniforms
This lines up with my belief the cabal is using both liberals and conservatives to lead to Sharia law in America
We need to stay vigilant

Couldn’t sleep. Interesting video. Never heard of this person before. But he seems to make a lot of sense.
So I found out my best online friend is hurting more than I thought.
I learned that years ago, he fractured his spine in two places, from when he had seizures due to renal carcinoma, which he barely survived. He's been in remission for a long time, but I'm ready to suggest fenben if it ever comes back. That's not why I'm posting this.
He's gaining weight. He's tried intermittent fasting and even keto, but he says that made his body go into "starvation mode" when he does eat, and put on even more fat. Hard to lose when you can't stand up for more than a few minutes due to your spine. He's also had many bouts of gout since he was about 12.
How do I help my friend?
And since this may be important...on top of ALL of the above, he also has a serious genetic disorder: XX male syndrome, which affects only 1 in about 20,000 people, and even that sounds way too common. He had to get a prescription for testosterone injections once a week, which was pretty hard to do since he's not trans--his body stopped producing T once he turned 40, and it led to a whole host of OTHER problems.
Check out Dr Berg’s keto channel if he hasn’t already. But along from eating high protein and fat, he suggests min 8 cups of leafy greens. That’s what really keeps you full and satiated long enough to fast long enough to get into ketosis. A lot of people leave the leafy greens outs.
Some people have never pushed themselves into 'uncomfortable' territory, and feel like their demise is imminent... Maybe check if the fasting period is long enough, because still gaining weight ... that sounds to me like they're not trying hard enough (with all respect to his health situation).
One of the missing pieces in a lot of keto and paleo is salt. For the most part, the American diet is salt-deprived with the exception of pure sodium salt for those who don't go with the pervasive low-sodium. In other words, lots of mineral deficiencies that can all be solved simply by adding sea salt. I've gotten a lot leaner by following a protocol that includes sea salt.
If you're interested, take a look at the intro at https://darkovelcek.wordpress.com/introduction/
So far it's been working for me for about 6 months.
Yeah, I saw a video a few months ago of Barbara O'Neill talking about the TWELVE minerals needed for strong bones, all of which can be found in seawater, and she recommended Celtic Sea Salt, which I'm leaning towards suggesting.
So I know about the salt thing, but thank you anyway.
I love Barbara O’Neill. She has really helped me change my thinking re: western medicine.
👍
Maybe eating carnivore would help with the weight. Carnivore diet can heal things like chronic conditions, gut & autoimmune. I’m not sure about the conditions your friend has. I know all to well about your body going into starvation mode. For several years my chronic pain was terrible and that didn’t help my psychological state. It’s hard to cook when you can’t physically do things. I can’t imagine what he’s going through. Pain sucks but when it becomes debilitating that can take a toll on the body and mind. If he can do water exercise in a class or PT that might help ease the pain. Water exercise has very helpful for me over the years. I’m not sure about fasting while eating keto. However fasting when on carnivore does help with weight loss and you aren’t hungry for twelve hours or more. Many people only eat every 48 hours. I don’t know if I’d accomplish that. I’ve been eating carnivore several months. It might not be for everyone and certainly not trying to convert anyone. If interested, Dr Ken Berry & Dr Anthony Chaffee is a good start. I’ll say a prayer, blessings to your friend.
Just found out someone I been listening to ever since I was like..15? (Im 35 now) passed today, and it hits double hard because his favorite project of mine was an album with another dude that died in 2020... Now, now theyre both gone
Just goes to show you, tomorrow never promised. Appreciate the time you got and make sure the memory you leave behind is a good one.
Who was it? A rapper?
yeah. His name was Chino XL. He was one of the first complex lyricists. (His debut album is 1996 but that's when he went solo, he messed around with a group before that)
And by Complex I mean he'd say things like...
"My saliva's lava, the wicked anomalous scholar"
The other guy I mentioned, his name was Playalitical. Back before anyone in Hiphop gave colorado a chance (im from denver) - Chino believed in him and they made a whole album together.
This is probably my favorite song of theirs, alot of memories attached to it since I first heard it in like 2007 or so
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_trxMqPnEE
Chino XL died? Wow. No way
I know him from working with Tech N9ne
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WEbDr0LISSE
Wwg1wga fren.
oh, you dont gotta link me to that. I live out by Kansas City, i'm well familiar with Tech's catalog lol
(btw, there's already RIP CHINO comments on that)
Did you see tech put out an ep called
siQnaling the siQly
Gives me hope he is on Q in secret
We would know where Tech truly stands if it wasnt for Travis
that dude is practically his handler, and the reason tech was so anti-mainstream yet did some sell-out mainstream shit like Hood Go Crazy
but ngl i highly doubt he's on 'our side' until he gives me a reason to think he is.
There was one track that gave me hope..
It was a skit on an ep (Enterfear)
"What happened, ma'am? They came in shooting and taking food Who's they, ma'am? The Technicians! What kind of technicians? The fucking Technicians, I don't know Uh, the Technicians are the underground group that refuses to take the vaccines and the ID chips, sir Oh, got it Mam is anybody hurt? Did they hurt anyone? No they just took food and stole this guy's produce truck"
But then Tech went and got the damn shot so he could tour?
I'm sorry for what you're feeling. You're right, tomorrow is never promised. I needed that reminder tonight. Thanks. God bless friend.
I took care of my grandpa with muscular dystrophy for over a decade (basically his entire 70s and my 20s) and they told him he'd never see 50... so, you definitely never know what tomorrow has in store for you
God bless you as well
