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 located an area inside my head which is activated when I am anxious.
I found out that just smiling deactivates this area and takes the useless and counterproductive anxiousness away.
I believe smiling is the quickest and easiest way to praise God.🙏🏻
Comment of the year.
Thank you for the smile you brought to my face.🤗
a smile is a huge FU to Satan kek.
I would much rather have laugh lines 😀 than frown lines ☹️
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways. Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

i wonder what "Biden" is signing for the WHs while everybody is focused on DJT and heels up. 😎
In today’s news, Trump’s campaign is doing poorly and he’s only running to avoid prison time. Also, living in the mountains can turn you from a woman into a man. 🤡

When the Trump/Elon livestream was starting, this "PandaMoon17" account was posting a lot of links in many different posts to a fake livestream. That fake livestream was running a crypto scam.
The scamtastic comments being posted by this they/them account are now all deleted, and can only be seen in the logs. The PandaMoon17 account posted this comment (sounding exactly like a crypto scamming bot comment):
This they/them account was called out by a few users including myself, and banned for a few days it seems.
Now Im calling the PandaMoon17 account a they/them because when they/them were unbanned, I received this message from they/them:
Why on earth would multiple people all be using and posting from the same account on here? Does this seem extremely suspect to anyone else?
Not to mention this they/them account was literally trying to lure anons into a crypto scam.
2/10 score for this yawn inducing attempt at trolling.
Will you pay for reddit when they paywall r/qult_headquarters?

Tuesday Poem...Kay Boyle - For James Baldwin
https://3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2024/08/tuesday-poem-417.html
I was so sad the hear of how Phillip Seymour Hoffman died, I was always impressed with his perfomances, especially The Savages,which I picked up and rented one evening, when I was in the mood for a quiet and thoughtful movie about a common family problem, the families that go their own way and the parent that moves far far away. Him and Laura Linney became some of my favorite actors because of that movie. Still annoyed that she never got the Emmy for Ozark, she was so good in it.
...I concur completely...
Enjoyed the piece on Baldwin from the Paris Review. I didn't realise he had been such a public intellectual during the Civil Rights movement. Further, I didn't realise the piece itself was written by Colm Toibin until the crescendo where Toibin brings in the enigma Cuchulian Comforted, a poem which has long haunted me.
...I am pleased you derived a measure of entertainment from the post...
...literacy is a marvelous thing...
What is the doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture?
Is Questioning the Bible Wrong? Questioning the Bible may or may not be wrong, depending on what is meant by “questioning the Bible.” God welcomes sincere questions from His children, but not standing in judgment over His Word—challenging its authority or relevance to the world today.
