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 hear you fren. I am worried a lot as well. Not even the "I don't trust Elon" (I mean seriously, who is asking anyone to "trust" Elon? Simply enjoy the fruits of his labour) - but the actual "trust" they put in random accounts on twitter and telegram just because they say things they like to hear - to the point where we are gonna have a lot of false prophets after the precipice. And when we are free and able to choose for ourselves is exactly when these false prophets can do the most damage.
But funny you mention about the Israelites who left Egypt with Moses and how many of them didn't get where they were going, and many of them still clung on to the Egyptian ways.
God made them wander for 40 years in the desert so that the people who well too well used to the Egyptian ways, would all be dead and the newer generations could start afresh. I think the mistake there was that the entire population was taken out of the older system into the newer system very quickly. Thats quite a shock.
I have a feeling that Q plan avoided precisely this with the past eight years of "wandering the desert" to ensure the transition did not come as a shock. I just hope that we don't have another 32 years to go!
Kekle. Yeah, the concept of 'trust' here just seems so out of whack. It's most as if folks are looking for a surrogate to replace the SYSTEM they trusted for so much of their lives, and then they transpose their sense of distrust on to some personality, in this case Musk. Or Flynn. Or DJT. Or <insert personality>.
Not to mention that they have virtually nothing to entrust. "I don't trust him with ..... my emotional attachment?". Well, maybe you need to be thinking about what you are actually seeking here...
As you say, the 40 years of the wilderness course seemed to become necessary as too many of the first generation Israelites had slave mentality. But on that note, the 40 year / day numerical factor is often significant as a period for 'separation from evil' or a condition for a re-start: Moses 40-day fast, his 40 years outside of Egypt when he first attempted to stand up for the Israelites by defending one of them but then they turned around and doubted him, 40 days of spying in Canaan, 40 day flood (noah), etc.
Yeah. I think my manna and popcorn supply would be put under serious stress, were that the case.
Iām getting ready to make some caramel corn with pecans š
Is butter in there somewhere?
Oh yeah.. and brown sugar. š
I think the "don't trust Elon" response for me is reactionary to so many people who both on here and on X sing his praises and suck up to him like some kind of conservative free speech messiah. Meanwhile other platforms like Truth Social, Rumble, Odyssey, Bitchute were doing it before.
The fact that he's openly paying people and they don't see the conflict of interest in defending him is disturbing.
Disclosure: I own DJT and RUM stock so maybe that's making me salty too.
So it seems to you that (too many) people are viewing Elon without discretion or discernment? And that pushes you in the opposite direction?
Q: How do you feel about Donald Trump?
Is there any way I can get me some of that action?
X has premium which pays out to users based on views and engagement.
I'm wary of Elon for multiple reasons. In q posts he is highlighted as working on missile tech. His push for neuralink and pervasive robotics make me inherently suspicious even if someone has good intentions.
His recent move to supporting Trump may be an honest change of having strings cut.
I support Trump and have investments in TMTG. Do I fully trust Trump? No. He has background in Kabbalah and ideas I would not describe as Christian. Am I voting for him? 100% yes. Time will tell whether he is legit or a tool of "order out of chaos." So far I see him protected by God and working to do good.
