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

So many scenarios are playing out through my head about where things could go in 5 months.
It's honestly feeling Trump or totalitarianism. Even with Trump, corruption may only delayed unless we do every drastic thing required to keep it back as best we can, and being the change our world needs.

Nothing to see here ... Madison, WI sent out duplicate ballots to some people in their district. Not to worry, recipients were told to destroy them. The system will show that the person already voted and will not scan correctly if they do try to use them. Ooops!

My X feed is much more liberal than it used to be. People are always commenting on a change of algorithm and I guess it changed for me now. Where do the libs come up with stupid stuff like this? "If a civil war breaks out, I am going to the library to hide. Maga don't read, so they will never come to the library. Where are you hiding out?" https://x.com/ClaudetteGGibs1/status/1838740480273604660
Focus on the bigger picture:
If you engage with a couple lib accounts even to argue with them, you will be filled with similar accounts. Just ignore them and click on you don't want to see those kind of content and it will be reset

I’m torn between my home in the country ten minutes from town with plenty of land to survive on wildlife and where we are armed very well. I’m around family on my side of the road and across is another family. We have four houses & they have six. We don’t socialize with that family but we have known them going back to my grandparents/parents and their’s. My mama grew up with them and her family was close with them. Just last week a neighbor showed up to get my daughter to give a shot of B12 because his niece wasn’t available. Then again depending on if I’m at the coast when the SHF I’d be ok. I go to a family member’s home in a remote area of the NC coast. It’s not on the beach, rural with a lot of Trump supporters. The draw backs are my dad is 81 & next door. I’d feel terrible if I wasn’t here. Plus we have more ammo & guns at our house. Bottom line if it happens God will make sure I’m where I should be. I thank God I’m not living in a big city.
God always takes care of his own, always ❤️
Praying you are safe during the storm and flooding. Can’t remember how to DM

A woman from the midwest USA went to Switzerland to kill herself, assisted by the technology of a death capsule. I read this morning that There were charges brought against the people, and arrests made by American authorities in Switzerland. She had been struggling with the pains and flares and drastic changes of life her autoimmune illness caused She had Lupus. I was thought to have it until I found a doctor who correctly diagnosed end stage Lyme. Yes, it causes pains and compromises your day to day activities, yes, a flare feels like a flu, yes, a "normal" life becomes a life that is one day at a time, with several days of just being fragile. She was in her early 60's. or maybe 60. The news is in MSM. Let me tell you, since the doctors in the USA became frightened of prescribing pain meds for people with chronic conditions, there are more who are choosing suicide. I understand that they were handing out narcotics like candy in certain states, West Virginia comes to mind, I understand that pain medications that contain opioids should be carefully prescribed in cases where recovery happens (broken bones, dental surgery, post operatively). But the fact that they are controlling these meds to the point of allowing some cancer patients and those with chronic painful conditions like RA, Lupus, Ehlers Danlos, degenerative disc disease to suffer, is a sin. There are remedies for lifetime pain, and managed well, there is no need to up the dose to the point that the person is nodding out with a high. I have been taking Tramadol for over 10 years, daily, the dose has not been raised in that time, without it, there are days I would be in bed trying not to move. I also use cannabis and a muscle relaxant when needed, on the days that I do flare up because of a trigger, which could be sun exposure, certain foods, chemical exposures, etc. There is a difference between people who do all the right things to learn to live with a chronic condition, with the help of pain management, and the kid who gets high on grandmas cancer meds. The strict controls on all pain meds have increased the amount of suicides for those of us who live in a constant fear that one day the doctor will say no. There is a stigma attached now. I hope, in the future, that this will be dealt with sanely and compassionately. Our healthcare system in this country is neither. Suicide is soul killing, and it effects family and friends for those left behind. The difference between addiction and dependence is huge. Addiction starts when the person who is taking the meds feels better, and then takes another one, to feel even better, and then some more because it feels really good. The point of the med is to keep pain below the #5 stage, and it will, in a progressive disease, what you want is the ability to function, albeit of course not as well as you did when you were in your 30's and disease free. Some of us need these drugs, believe me, I wish I did not, but I am sure glad I have some relief. Just wanted to get that off of my chest.
Firstly, prayers sent your way anon! Secondly, the entire post is very eloquently thought out and written. I have to comment so I can paraphrase & borrow the quoted line above for my own check up next week.
I don't have Lupis nor Lyme, but the way you phrased that statement of a normal day of quality of life being an increasingly less and less expected occurence really hit home for me.
Sorry for your troubles, Fren, and agree it’s odd how restrictive some meds have become when they seem necessary.
For your lyme, have you tried parasite protocol? https://www.floridasharkman.org/protocol/protocol/FloridaSharkman-Protocols.pdf
Yes, I went into anaphalaxis due to the Herz effect, I caught it back in 1986, before I realized what it was. Symptoms started in 93, it's systemic, its controlled with a regimen of otc anti histamines, controlling mast cell build up in my intestines with diet, supplements, herbs. At 74, unfortunately a long term bombardment with antibiotics could kill me, although I have taken antibiotics for a cat bite,(I was pilling the little bastard and it bit me, it went toxic in a matter of hours) and for a bad bronchitis, both times I felt great, but my doctor said no, The bacteria drills into all kinds of hidey holes and goes dormant, after it has eaten up all your cartlidge. The trick is to keep them dormant and avoid triggers. The pain management is for the whole body arthritis that resulted from it. I did the parasite protocol with meds, Ivermectin, and herbs, black walnut, artemesia, oregano oil, and took something to dissolve the biofilm, day 7 I broke out in a head to toe hive attack, and then severe vomiting, ended up in the ER going in to shock! I do take japanese knotweed to keep the devils at bay, but killing them all off just releases an immune response that is dangerous. The one good thing about it? I was exempt from taking the jab per doctors orders, due to immune response to vaccines.
Asking for prayers friends, starting lysine vitamin c today from the post by JohnTitor17.

Tuesday Poem...Christopher Bursk - The Pathetic Fallacy—an excerpt
https://3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2024/09/tuesday-poem-422.html
Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones was caught discussing a player's penis size with actor Jamie Foxx.
But that is par for the course as the players partied their way to three Super Bowls in the 1990s.
What usually happens when you stop paying a credit card due to lack of funds?
I've heard that American Express can be very aggressive, but I don't know in what way.
I've never had to skip out on a payment before.
I wouldn’t knowingly destroy my credit by just not paying. Trim what you can, see if any accounts can work on lowering a payment or interest, etc. If you’ll be seeking bankruptcy you should get that ball rolling so you can start gathering all the paperwork needed.
First month, late payment notice by email and likely no phone calls or stamped mail Second month, automated friendly phone calls every two weeks or so Three months, online statements suspended, forced switch to mail statements Four months, this is where they possibly charge off, fifth month is for sure
Now once it is charged off it kind of floats around for about a month or two
Then a collector buys the account pennies on the dollar.
They are the one who actually are aggressive. Multiple phone calls, constant mail, calling other numbers looking for you because that is how they make money. It is pure profit minus labor and mail costs
At this point, make them dance around, and if you actually care about credit, settle the balance for less than what you "owed" and make "pay to delete" part of the deal or you won't pay them
remember, all our current finance system is fake. when amex charges off, insurance takes care of most of the debt, when you pay a collector none of it goes to original lender. It was all unsecured debt, but of course banks have no liability thanks to our lovely government
The reason people with "good credit" get so many deals, rewards, etc is because they want to keep those people enslaved, they want to be the processor for all their payments, they want to mine their spending habits and personal data, and they ultimately want to be able to advertise a product that creates a very distinct class division that functions as a way of manipulating consumer perceptions as well as aspirations
God I am ready for Q to get it done.
They will threaten a lot of things, but ultimately the biggest threat (and the only real action) is "Charge Off"
When they declare Charge Off, they are putting an entry in your credit file that the debt is unlikely to be ever collected.
At this point, your credit history is pretty much ruined and you will have a very hard time getting another credit card, or, depending on the amount and previous history, even be able to rent or open a bank account.
OTOH, if you claim bankruptcy, you can easily get a credit card very soon after that.
Thank you for chiming in bubble_bursts. I am finding out that I should've filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy a long time ago. Do think if I start the bankruptcy proceedings after being in a "Charge Off" status that it will still help me clear up my credit rating eventually?
But remember that if you leave your credit rating alone - as in no inquries nothing for a few years, it will get reset automatically. Some one else mentioned 4-7 years which sounds right
They can probably fight you in the bankruptcy court. But really sure if it's worth their effort or if something like that would be their standard procedure.
Honestly, you gotta consult a good lawyer before taking that step.
Most states have 4 to 7 year statute of limitation where they roll off your credit report leaving you with new credit
I would love a world where everyone stopped paying, the banks would be crushed over night
I have several cards I stopped paying on during Covid. After Covid, they wanted to reinstate the payments, at that time we had the summer of love and Bank Of America and others donated billions to BLM. When I got the phone call, I asked them if I am being recorded, because they always do… And I said well listen up. If you want my payments for my credit card, you can contact BLM! Because your financial institutions donated billions of dollars. You will never see one dime from me ever again.
Since I’m on Social Security, they cannot attach my wages, also I still get text messages and letters in the mail, but they’re already from collection agencies. One has already charged off last year. I think there’s two more. I’m holding out. 🤷♀️
That being said… Credit is only worth what you need it for. My car is paid for, and our family home is in a trust. I pay cash for anything that I need.
When they had that breach of personal data recently, my mom looked my name up, and I was one of the people who was preached. We laughed out loud… I think my credit rating is 500. So if they try to apply for a credit card in my name, the answer would be. NO - request rejected.! 😂😂😂
Well played, Ma’am, well played 👏👏

What happened with the September 18th sentencing of DJT?
On Sep 6th when the decision was to be made, the judge decided to move the decision to after election. Its not mid November (Not the sentencing itself, but the decision whether he needs to be sentenced)
