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
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Ephesians 2:8-9
American Standard Version
8 for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not of works, that no man should glory.
Amen
Thank you! Amen!

Random thought of the day- people are so busy trying to fit The Scriptures of The Bible around their everyday lives but they never try to fit their lives into The Scriptures. They try to shape and mold the inerrant Word of God.
You could argue that applies to everything people hear nowadays. You could have the fattest, most ugliest woman imaginable, and she'll still think it's up to others to accept her because she saw a deoderant ad a few years back about how "beauty is on the inside".
The problem with an inerrant word of God is private interpretation. Hint: sectarian interpretation.
They cherry pick the tender fruits that feed their egos.

What's on my mind tonight:
NJ UFO Sighting

Last chance to buy XRP at a low price before RLUSD goes live
https://x.com/CryptoGeekNews/status/1865150379337408850
That’s nothing new, UFOs were flying around the Clinton reservoir/Clinton Road area forty years ago.
BTW, Clinton Road has its own unsavory reputation for haunting although I never encountered anything odd and I lived just a couple of miles away and drove it many times.

I guess I missed the alien invasion/sky event.
Jan 21st is as fine and proper a day worthy of a datefag as any.
Arrests or GTFO.
The only datefag I would do is Oct 28 2025.
