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.

RIP VOAT
In my "about Uncle_Fester" section it says I've been here four years (tomorrow will be the beginning of the fifth year).
I staggered here to GAW after attending the "End of Voat" mad dash to be the last post. I think I ended up seventh from the last.
It's a bit stunning to me that it has been nine some years since the Trump Tower escalator scene and all that has transpired up to this point. We finally got to the space aliens, sort of; Steven Greer is out supposedly "advising" Congress how to perform their oversight duties, which is a bit disconcerting, but maybe that wasn't in their orientation packet.
The road goes ever on, and so does this movie. I will admit to taking an intermission now and then in the past. My enthusiasm level is high right now leading up to January 6 and January 20, and then...?
Are we going to see a mass something? Arrests, deportations, suicides, riots? Or will those things get tangled up in court room across the land, only to learn two years later the Supreme court rules in Trumps favor?
And of course, per the title of this post, there are stil 26 days for team DNC to ruin a lot of lives in short and long term ways.
Endeavor to persevere frens. The best is yet to come.
Merry Christmas from Uncle Fester and his, you know, the Thing.
Did you use the name Uncle Fester on VOAT? There are quite a number of us who migrated here to GAW.
Merry Christmas to all my fellow VoAT Alumni.
Merry Christmas, GAW Frens!!
And lo, in those days, a fellowship of very focused frog-researchers dwelt in a secluded marsh, awaiting the end times when Guantanamo Bay would be filled with deep state criminals. For years, these autistic watchers meticulously tracked star maps and hidden conspiracies, weaving data into detailed charts no one else would heed.
Suddenly, the sky shone, and behold, an angel of the Lord appeared, shimmering with gentle light. βFear not,β the angel said in calm tones, βfor you have long studied that which others dismissed. Tonight, in Bethlehem, the Christ is born.β
A second angel arrived, employing bullet points and precise images, ensuring each frogβs interests were honoured: βBehold the Child, wrapped in humility and grace, a sign that your patient research is not in vain.β
Then a chorus of angels filled the heavens, each note resonating with autistic super-sensitivity, celebrating pattern-finding and unwavering focus. At last, the frogs felt validation, for their fervent vigilance had found ultimate meaning. With solemn joy, they hopped forth, determined to witness the prophecyβs grand fulfilment.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, RESEARCHERS ππ§‘β₯οΈπ
Very well written. Me thinks we have a sheep in wolf's clothing here
I used GPT actually!
You didn't need to use GPT...you could write a better better version using only one paw! β¨πΎ
I have always referred to Jesus as the first future proves past. Love this.
Beautiful cats! β¨
FYI McDonald is open for Christmas for those who live alone and/or doesn't wanna cook.
Praying for those who are alone and have no one... πππ€
Amen!
Chinese restaurants, too. Some years ago I found out there's something of a tradition of Jews going to Chinese restaurants on Christmas. A bit odd, but makes sense.
Ah yes, like in the Christmas Story :) Only Chinese restaurants were open on Christmas.
Much better than McDonald's
Please no , not on Christmas
Merry Christmas frens!
The term X'mas has been used by athiests based on the false idea that X has nothing to do with Christ. X is short for Ξ§ΟΞΉΟΟΟΟ, which means Christ.
Try they do, fail they will
Oh NOOOO

bubble_bursts...........your endless countdowns suck! :) Let's get there already, OK? Now, when there are two more weeks to go before the inauguration, then my spidey sense will begin twitching. But, anyways, THANKS FOR THE COUNTDOWN TO THE SPECIAL DAY IN AMERICA'S HISTORY. Once the 20th hits this country will begin to rock like a Jerry Lee Lewis song.
WE GOT A SILENT NIGHT

Very innovative production...gives new meaning to SILENT NIGHT
Merry Christmas everyone πππ π»
I think kitty cats are a reflection of how wonderful God must be since he created them.
I am in Istanbul, turkey, right now, and there are cats literally everywhere. Wild ones, they are all over the streets. People feed them and take care of them. It's like the whole neighborhood owns the cats. There was even a cat in my restaurant today. I went to a coffee shop and there was a cat sitting on the chair sleeping next to me. I've fed him and then he got playful with me. I even carry cat food around with me now
I knew you would love Istanbul because their love of cats! ππββ¬β¨
Definitely shows he has a sense of humor
Agreed... God's Creations reflect His Love for us!
Merry Christmas πππ²

I hope someday we know the names of all the Operators who have risked and given their lives to save the world. They deserve to be recognized...
