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.

General question: does anyone know what happened to u/PolishBaldEagle?
I notice that he hasn't posted post or comment for around 6 months. His account is still here, alive, not deleted. Did something happen to him?
I hope he's OK....
I really like how people watch out for each other here. It's amazing what a community a bunch of anons can be.
I’m sorry 🥲
Here’s a really nice story of Barron Trump giving his first class seat to a vet: https://youtu.be/ZmDX3sRiPvg
So precious, now I can’t stop crying 🥲

Does anybody have a list of prayer sites they can post? I love that we support each other in prayer when needed and I have some people in my life who might not be ready for us but who are in need. Please and Thank you
I believe klove has a prayer section

Hello joanofsnark, I’ve been praying and taking communion for you and your son everyday. I have t seen you in a while.
Thank you so very much. Your prayers are deeply appreciated and very much needed although he is improving a bit ( he can walk again for part of the day)and his pain is lessened please keep praying for him. He is moving once again towards the Lord and that is often when everything begins to get intense. He had a very deep love and heart for the Lord as a little but after he got sick he began to struggle, believing he must have deserved this somehow and with hurt and anger at his situation. Teen boys aren’t great at handling such situations and he also became isolated. His isolation and pain and watching his friends go on without him deepened his feelings that he somehow had done something to deserve this.Then he had some powerful experiences that sent him seeking the Lord once more and he committed himself to him. That is when he had to be life flighted soon after that he once again began to lean in and a complication had us once again on a life flighted. He had not since lost his faith but he is tired now and I pray he is encouraged in his faith. Please pray for his body And his soul that he not become discouraged again. My work schedule has increased which is a blessing but unfortunately it leaves me much less time and with another child I homeschool I have little time to spare. This is my one true self thing I do so it is the boy thing I can take from. ( I am not noble just terrible at time management lol) Is there anyway I can lift you up in praye? It gives me so much comfort and joy to pray for others
Oh thank you sweetie, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I’m good right now. I understand the struggle of watching your child suffer. But then again I think of all the pain and suffering our Father went through for us. Since we live in an earthly body we have to face the challenges of being here. The good news is that it’s not eternity. I know he must be exhausted and discouraged, but he must resolve to dig down deep and find the inner strength he has to point his finger at the enemy and remind him that he will never give up. You son has a destiny and the enemy is doing his best to steal it. Don’t let him win. I just got a phone call I need to take but I will be back in touch.
Proverbs 11:9 - With his mouth the godless man will destroy his neighbor, but by knowledge the righteous are delivered. https://www.bible.com/bible/59/pro.11.9
Berlin ironically that is actually speaking to my situation God and his sense of humor. Go find prayer request sites for your normie friends oh look here is a word for you to give you comfort and ease your heart.
Does anyone think anything will change with our taxes this year? I'm about to start on my taxes, just wondering if I should wait or go ahead and file them. Is there any chance Trump will change some tax codes now or for next year?
I can’t read the “Very Important Moderator P.S.A.” Post . It’s cut off… please re-post.
Wasn’t sure if details aren’t visible or just needed link.

IMPORTANT: New explicit rules on posted content. Due to our unique position in the information battlefield, the admin team here at GAW have long since decided to exclude some topics of discussion: Most of the anons here know this, but for the benefit of everyone, the team would like to make it clear that we do not allow posts and comments on the following subjects:
Flat earth theory Faked moon landings Chemtrails Fringe conspiracy theories
These subjects are explicitly prohibited on The Great Awakening. and are now listed in the sidebar for your reference. We will not discuss the merits of these subjects, they are simply not allowed here. We will remove posts and comments which contravene these rules and issue increasing bans for those posts up to permanent bans. These are the site rules Here is a very useful in-depth reference to fifth generation warfare if you are wondering why we have this policy: https://greatawakening.win/p/17si5BJGpZ/ Thank you all for your valuable work.
What I don't get is that RFK jr and his former running mate have spoken many times about chemtrails. RFK is a believer. He works directly with Trump. Is he now an unreliable source?
Chemtrails certainly shouldn't be listed with flat earth theory
There's no denying RFK has a really big brain. If he thinks they are real and is part of MAGA, at least we should be allowed to talk about it.
I just finished walking my neighborhood on a beautiful day with blue skies and no clouds. I looked up at one point and clearly saw an aircraft with lines behind it. I’m just wondering if I can believe my lying eyes
You can believe your eyes. It's water vapor and just a touch of CO, CO2 and some hydrocarbons and particulates.
Aviation fuel is closely (very closely) monitored from the refinery to the fuel tank on the A/C. The many tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of gallons of contaminants required to be effective would have to be snuck into the stream at some point. There is no evidence that that is being done nor is there any evidence pertaining to the actual substances that make up the contaminant.
Where are the whistleblowers? Witnesses?
Bueller? Bueller?
I don't know but when you find them, ask them why states are introducing legislation to ban them
Because politicians aren't the best and the brightest. They are easily led around by their wallets, their genitals or both.
You have no idea how tightly controlled everything having to do with aviation is. Every piece, part and substance that even comes close to an aircraft is traceable to its source and to every operation and operator that comes in contact with it. These audit trails are public knowledge and, unlike the chemtrails fairy tale, are admissible evidence. There are too many licensed API professionals (airplane mechanics) out there not to notice any such deviations and not blow the whistle. "Not noticing" could result in fines, loss of licenses and jail time.
Familiarize yourself with IEEE standard 1024 and its successor standards before you push some false narrative about introducing contaminants into the fuel stream or unauthorized devices added to powerplants or airframes.
Ironically, pharmaceutical clinical research should also be conducted according to the protocols detailed in 1024.
I spent the early part of my forty-plus year IT career in the aerospace business and later became a member of the Drug Information Association, an organization of IT professionals in the pharma industry. If there was any clinical research done on the recent mRNA vaccine fraud, record keeping and auditability certainly was not in evidence.
💯
good point^ and I know when someone tells me 'not' to do something, I often do the opposite. and since I can't comment about it, I'll just read moar about the topics. perhaps that is the reason they do this, to get us to research??🧐
Lots of similarities to The Guardian. That's where I heard about RFKs "ridiculous" ideas.
Unfortunately, we're going to lose several "good guys" over this iron fisting.
I've already seen the gaping holes from their permanently purged content obliterating important discussions... now lost forever.
What an absolute shame.
Right wrong or indifferent, I'd rather not see good participants I'd consider friends walk off over this.

I’m not a top contributor here and probably won’t ever be. For multiple reasons I’m not here daily and don’t have time to research. At first I was posting a lot on the main feed. Sure a little character by my name would be cool, not why I’m here & don’t expect to get the points. I can understand what you said & why! I mainly comment in gen chat and am thankful it was created. I just don’t understand some of the rules, especially you can’t post instagram links but X & Facebook are acceptable. I literally see the same content on instagram as I do here. So much so I get the feeling these accounts on instagram are probably top posters here. Heck, I’ve even seen screenshots from here. I also like seeing videos on instagram with out going to another place, especially Rumble. I know it’s preferred by most here. My internet is too slow and rumble doesn’t work for me. Just my opinions! I’ve been here five years and in the past 1.5 years I’ve seen some people go that are still talking about today, being missed. I understand as a society we need rules but just like HOA’s some rules are stupid and some people are probably picked on more than others. Yet, with the negatives I see here I see way more positives, thanks to the majority of good caring people here. Even when I try to take a break to reset I end up breaking my rule and coming back.
Got it! Thanks
You’re welcome glad I could help out.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon February 15th — Evening Reading
"Whereby they have made Thee glad." — Psalm 45:8
And who are thus privileged to make the Saviour glad? His church-His people. But is it possible? He makes us glad, but how can we make Him glad? By our love. Ah! we think it so cold, so faint; and so, indeed, we must sorrowfully confess it to be, but it is very sweet to Christ. Hear His own eulogy of that love in the golden Canticle: "How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine!" See, loving heart, how He delights in you. When you lean your head on His bosom, you not only receive, but you give Him joy; when you gaze with love upon His all-glorious face, you not only obtain comfort, but impart delight. Our praise, too gives Him joy-not the song of the lips alone, but the melody of the heart's deep gratitude. Our gifts, too, are very pleasant to Him; He loves to see us lay our time, our talents, our substance upon the altar, not for the value of what we give, but for the sake of the motive from which the gift springs. To Him the lowly offerings of His saints are more acceptable than the thousands of gold and silver. Holiness is like frankincense and myrrh to Him. Forgive your enemy, and you make Christ glad; distribute of your substance to the poor, and He rejoices; be the means of saving souls, and you give Him to see of the travail of His soul; proclaim His gospel, and you are a sweet savour unto Him; go among the ignorant and lift up the cross, and you have given Him honour. It is in your power even now to break the alabaster box, and pour the precious oil of joy upon His head, as did the woman of old, whose memorial is to this day set forth wherever the gospel is preached. Will you be backward then? Will you not perfume your beloved Lord with the myrrh and aloes, and cassia, of your heart's praise? Yes, ye ivory palaces, ye shall hear the songs of the saints!
I always thought that "doge" was a purposefully misspelled version of "doggy," in the way "kitteh" is for "kitty." So I thought it was more like "doh-geh" with a hard g rather than with a soft g. Especially since it comes from that meme with the Japanese Shiba dog.
" I thought it was more like "doh-geh" with a hard g rather than with a soft g."
...you're right, you know...
The appointed leader of Venice was called the Doge. So, maybe, watch the water!!
I thought this was too insignificant to mention, but Yes!
Was just discussing with the wife it would be much funnier for the media to be saying dohgeh. Personally, that feels like part of the cosmic joke to me... But I'm just a QTard. 😀
Glad you brought it up.
I’ve got cold chills. I’m watching the Daytona 500 for first time in many many years. Trump leading the field in the first lap, as the official pace car. The only thing that would top this for me is to see Earnhardt alive and on that track. Damn it feels to feel this amazing American Spirit back🇺🇸

So, I want a second of opinion: which AI program is, in your honest opinion, the better one for creative writing: Grok or ChatGPT?
And are there better programs I can be using for creative writing (that are free?)
ChatGPT for social media based dialog and Grok for anything else
Nearly everything on AITAH reddit is chatgpt and normies eat it up
