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.

"He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever." — John 14:16
Great Father revealed Himself to believers of old before the coming of His Son, and was known to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as the God Almighty. Then Jesus came, and the ever-blessed Son in His own proper person, was the delight of His people's eyes. At the time of the Redeemer's ascension, the Holy Spirit became the head of the present dispensation, and His power was gloriously manifested in and after Pentecost. He remains at this hour the present Immanuel-God with us, dwelling in and with His people, quickening, guiding, and ruling in their midst. Is His presence recognized as it ought to be? We cannot control His working; He is most sovereign in all His operations, but are we sufficiently anxious to obtain His help, or sufficiently watchful lest we provoke Him to withdraw His aid? Without Him we can do nothing, but by His almighty energy the most extraordinary results can be produced: everything depends upon his manifesting or concealing His power. Do we always look up to Him both for our inner life and our outward service with the respectful dependence which is fitting? Do we not too often run before His call and act independently of His aid? Let us humble ourselves this evening for past neglects, and now entreat the heavenly dew to rest upon us, the sacred oil to anoint us, the celestial flame to burn within us. The Holy Ghost is no temporary gift, He abides with the saints. We have but to seek Him aright, and He will be found of us. He is jealous, but He is pitiful; if He leaves in anger, He returns in mercy. Condescending and tender, He does not weary of us, but awaits to be gracious still.
Sin has been hammering my heart
Unto a hardness, void of love,
Let supplying grace to cross his art
Drop from above.
"Every civilization depends on the quality of the individuals it produces. If you over-organize humans, over-legalize them, suppress their urge to greatness-they cannot work and their civilization collapses."

Bobby's officially IN THE HOUSE!!!
Can you guys believe it???
Stop for a second and ZOOM OUT...
Y'all remember all the MEDICAL TYRANNY we endured just a few short years ago?
While I was HOPEFUL in order to keep keeping on ... I honestly didn't think (but hoped!) we'd be witnessing this historical moment right now!!!
For the longest time, it's been "Us vs them" in terms if food... I used to drive 2.5 hours every week 1 way to the nearest whole foods because I would have literally DIED if I didn't... that was 30 years ago.
Things have gotten degressively worse ... to the point I can't really even eat at almost any restaurant because they're just peddling some variation of Sysco soy slop that'll tear the ass out if me.
It's a serious problem. These restaurants serve SLOP. Even a Caesar salad is completely smothered in some partially hydrogenated soy swill - a salad....meant to cleanse your body but instead winds up poisoning you instead. Most are absolutely CLUELESS why they've got heartburn and acid reflux etc and reach for some pill instead of listening to the body's feedback system telling you what the problem is. If you feel bad after eating something... don't eat it again!
I'm not expecting any miracles with Bobby getting in - I'm not expecting restaurants to stop diluting their olive oil with cheap soy oil, or snacks to stop hiding msg in hydrolyzed vegetable protein or yeast... but I do expect some headway to be made regarding big Ag, which is big pharma - and the cessation of glyphosate and GMO seeds. Cherry on top would be the outlawing of ANY biological being patented.
The idea that a company can patent life is BEYOND repugnant. It's like taking a Corvette, scraping the emblems off it, tweaking a few things and calling it something else. (Not the best analogy...) Quite arrogant these humans thinking they can tweak God's creations and somehow own them. There's a reason Europe doesn't want our farm products... they're frankenfood.
TODAY IS A GREAT DAY! Take a moment to be thankful for our win and be thankful you live here, where God planted you at this time.
I love you all!
An entire population of dietarily moobed men in their bros just nodded with you.
Found a hotel full of Haitians, how do I report them to ICE?
Edit: I figured out their website and reported them. The website makes it complicated to file a report.

I was just curious. How do tape worms and other parasites get into our bodies? Through our food I would assume.
