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.

I recently got Close Encounters on bluray (used, at Book Off). I hadn't seen it in at least 20 years. My conspiracy experience points have leveled up since the last time I saw this movie because I found it rather Interesting that in order to keep everyone away from the mountain at the end of the movie, the government concocts some fake story of a train derailment and nerve gas being released into the area to prevent anyone from getting near. They even placed some dead animals by the roadside and gassed the protagonists' bird when they weren't looking. I picked up on the psyop at play this time around.
And I thought I'd get to bed at a reasonable hour ... but no. Still scrolling GAW
You're not alone fren.🤗
To the person who got offended when I called Zelinsk a midget, I apologize..
From now on I'm calling him Mini-Me (it has absolutely nothing to do with his height and everything to do with his character).

What do you think would happen the coming Tuesday?
State of the Union
March 4th was the Inauguration Day before the Civil War ended and we became a corporation?
Is this why President Trum didn't have his hand on The Bible n Jan 20th?
Inauguration Day. Until the ratification of the Twentieth Amendment in 1933, the official day for presidential inaugurations was March 4. When the fourth fell on a Sunday, as it did in 1821, 1849, 1877, and 1917, the ceremonies were held on March 5.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon March 2nd — Evening Reading
"Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ." — Ephesians 3:8
The apostle Paul felt it a great privilege to be allowed to preach the gospel. He did not look upon his calling as a drudgery, but he entered upon it with intense delight. Yet while Paul was thus thankful for his office, his success in it greatly humbled him. The fuller a vessel becomes, the deeper it sinks in the water. Idlers may indulge a fond conceit of their abilities, because they are untried; but the earnest worker soon learns his own weakness. If you seek humility, try hard work; if you would know your nothingness, attempt some great thing for Jesus. If you would feel how utterly powerless you are apart from the living God, attempt especially the great work of proclaiming the unsearchable riches of Christ, and you will know, as you never knew before, what a weak unworthy thing you are. Although the apostle thus knew and confessed his weakness, he was never perplexed as to the subject of his ministry. From his first sermon to his last, Paul preached Christ, and nothing but Christ. He lifted up the cross, and extolled the Son of God who bled thereon. Follow his example in all your personal efforts to spread the glad tidings of salvation, and let "Christ and Him crucified" be your ever recurring theme. The Christian should be like those lovely spring flowers which, when the sun is shining, open their golden cups, as if saying, "Fill us with thy beams!" but when the sun is hidden behind a cloud, they close their cups and droop their heads. So should the Christian feel the sweet influence of Jesus; Jesus must be his sun, and he must be the flower which yields itself to the Sun of Righteousness. Oh! to speak of Christ alone, this is the subject which is both "seed for the sower, and bread for the eater." This is the live coal for the lip of the speaker, and the master-key to the heart of the hearer.
This is totally off Q, but hopefully permitted here :)
I heard this song playing in a grocery store a few weeks ago. It was pretty catchy. I kept hearing the tagline as "We're up for Mexican ducky" :) I tried to find out what the song was; trying AI with that phrase, since I had no clue who did the song or what the actual lyrics were. The AI didn't help. Tonight I was checking out what movies were available on the Peacock streaming service, and the lego movie of Pharrel Williams was listed, so I clicked on it to watch the preview, and then a short song clip played, and I thought "I think that's that Mexican ducky song!". So then I went back to the X AI (Grok) and asked what Pharrel Williams song has lyrics that sound like "We're up for Mexican ducky", and this song was listed. AI showing its true potential :)
Go to the middle of the track (at 2:10), and I defy you not to hear "We're up for Mexican ducky" as the lyrics :)

Oh, and yes, I'm pretty much doxing myself here, but I don't care :)
We're up all night to get lucky.
That's what I'm hearing at 2:10.
Listen to this at 0:21-0.22 and I think this may be what you're referring to (perhaps at a later point in the song you linked?). I put the speed down to .5 to hear it more clearly.

The "mexican" comes in pretty well on that short clip! (I guess they thought so too :) ) I heard the full song on the grocery store speakers, so it wasn't too clear, so my mind went to the "We're up for Mexican ducky" interpretation :)
Can't hear your words. I tried. But hey, I'm sure it happens to everyone sometimes.
I can't NOT hear it now that I pulled that song up :) Sort of like the Springsteen song where I hear "dead devil in the freeza'" :)
I wonder if he was making reference to bioweapons. "The Demon In The Freezer".

United Air Turbulence grounds plane in Texas

Sorry I didn’t video in time, but I just saw something unique in the md sky. It was a uniformly tightly packed row of about a dozen lights. It appeared near the crescent moon heading south. It traveled a distance of about 3 times its overall length going average aircraft speed and then disappeared. I tried to see if any individual lights swerved off line but I didn’t have time to see any. They were straight enough to have been connected but that seems like too big of an aircraft. My first thought was drone swarm.
We saw them very briefly too in the Sierras a few nights ago. Maybe they were Starlink?
Starlink seems likely but I don’t know why all the lights disappeared at once
