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'm just gonna go ahead and say it: Disregard any X posts about the JFK files if they don't provide a way for you to verify what is being posted. Ignore your confirmation bias.
Thanks for the heads up. My week has been so busy. I’ve not looked at anything. I feel so disconnected 🥴
I think I figured out why Trump claims he wants to make Canada the 51st state. Trump seeks reactions, not Canada as a state. He aims to destabilize Canada’s leftist government. This trolling hinders communists’ progress. By sparking a war of words, Trump escalates nationalistic rhetoric, overwhelming the left’s control over supporters, who then push for a more nationalistic government. This is basically "Make Canada Great Again."
I have been thinking a lot about it as a Canadian. I also had come to the same theory, but I have also added this element: Trump doesn't play chess like that. Every move he makes is toward checkmating the NWO cabal. Yes, on one hand, he has single handedly sparked the biggest patriotic movement in Canada I've seen in my 50+ years here; on the other hand, he is right that Canada is far too reliant on the US and the US would benefit so much from Canada's resources. If Canada resists becoming the 51st state, the Globalists lose. If Canada eventually embraces it, the Globalists lose. Checkmate move.
I agree but I think that like me he would rather see a patriotic nationalistic Canada that is taking care of itself then Canada as a state, but trump would role with whatever the citizenship wants not what the foreign influencers from Europe and China want.
Zugzwang (from German 'compulsion to move';pronounced[ˈtsuːktsvaŋ]) is a situation found in chess and other turn-based games wherein one player is put at a disadvantage because of their obligation to make a move; a player is said to be "in zugzwang" when any legal move will worsen their position.
Although the term is used less precisely in games such as chess, it is used specifically in combinatorial game theory to denote a move that directly changes the outcome of the game from a win to a loss.
Putting the opponent in zugzwang is a common way to help the superior side win a game, and in some cases it is necessary in order to make the win possible. More generally, the term can also be used to describe a situation where none of the available options lead to a good outcome.
This is interesting. I was thinking the same thing. All of the sudden Canadians are proud to be Canadian. 🇨🇦
Gaw poll: Beef bacon or pork bacon?
Go
Huh? I didnt even know beef bacon exists!

Now I need to find some beef belly!
I’m a beef bacon evangelist.
Turkey bacon sucks for anything other than salad seasoning.
I've been buying beef bacon here lately, and I love it!

C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (March 18th)
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." — Matthew 5:9
This is the seventh of the beatitudes: and seven was the number of perfection among the Hebrews. It may be that the Saviour placed the peacemaker the seventh upon the list because he most nearly approaches the perfect man in Christ Jesus. He who would have perfect blessedness, so far as it can be enjoyed on earth, must attain to this seventh benediction, and become a peacemaker. There is a significance also in the position of the text. The verse which precedes it speaks of the blessedness of "the pure in heart: for they shall see God." It is well to understand that we are to be "first pure, then peaceable." Our peaceableness is never to be a compact with sin, or toleration of evil. We must set our faces like flints against everything which is contrary to God and His holiness: purity being in our souls a settled matter, we can go on to peaceableness. Not less does the verse that follows seem to have been put there on purpose. However peaceable we may be in this world, yet we shall be misrepresented and misunderstood: and no marvel, for even the Prince of Peace, by His very peacefulness, brought fire upon the earth. He Himself, though He loved mankind, and did no ill, was "despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." Lest, therefore, the peaceable in heart should be surprised when they meet with enemies, it is added in the following verse, "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Thus, the peacemakers are not only pronounced to be blessed, but they are compassed about with blessings. Lord, give us grace to climb to this seventh beatitude! Purify our minds that we may be "first pure, then peaceable," and fortify our souls, that our peaceableness may not lead us into cowardice and despair, when for Thy sake we are persecuted.
u/queue-anon the dumbest thing just recalled to me.
JPM isn’t running fraudulent slv certs to suppress the price of slv, but to keep the value of frn propped up. The second slv breaks out, so do the others, then debt settlements start getting made in assets instead of infinite liabilities, because it’ll be doable at much lower cost for a period of time, and hedgies r fukt.
If that concept is right, it kinda puts a kibbosh on making tons of value when prices correct, but also highlights it as a weapon.
Pew pew pew. https://files.catbox.moe/ahztvv.gif
Tons of value on what exactly? GME?
Nice pew pew pepe
On slv, another illegally shorted asset. Not the stock, either.

Posted at 11:20 AM EST. Qpost 1120 mentions tariffs, which IMO is going to cause the market to crash and possibly ignite the squeeze.
Also, get this, the size of the image is 147 KB. Reverse of 741 😂
edit: also i see the word 'soon' in his post. Dasting
Whats 147/741? Have seen them but don’t know the significance.
Early on, RC kept posting things at 7:41 timestamp if I recall correctly. It became a marker of sorts. or a signal.
Examples of everyone trying to figure out what 741 means:

On children being raised by psychopaths and dysfunctional personalities who use their children for their own benefit, the article focuses on more extreme cases. And there are plenty of extreme cases. But I wonder about people who use their kids for social media clicks. There are so many entire accounts based on the cute antics of two-year-olds. These parents will stage, prompt, rehearse, pressure, and perhaps cojole and threaten a kid to get cute videos. Some of these kids are going to eventually rebel and perhaps sue for the emotional stress (or the profits made from their image).
I have the Peacock streaming service (the only thing I pay for TV-wise; we have an attic in the antenna that gets most of what we would want) and was scrolling through the documentary list (there are dozens and dozens) and came across one about child drag show stars! I'm not going to watch it, but it is pretty sick that parents would put their own children in such things!
Has anyone noticed how the grocery advantage card AI ads on America’s Voice are so annoying. I see the first AI spoke models have been replaced by new AIs.
Something is not right with these ads, they are pushing too hard.
Does anyone know if software or an AI plugin exists that can search a folder of memes and return a match for a set of descriptor keywords? Approaching 16,900 images and sometimes i spend more time looking for a specific meme that is worth it.
Has anyone spotted the JFK files that show what Oswald had to say after his arrest? ... The big obvious appears to be missing. How odd.

Has anyone here had to read the book "The Delectable Negro" by Vincent Woodward? I am trying to rebut his work, as it was purposefuly written to incite anger and violence among the black population towards rich white men. It centers on cannibalism both literally and figuratively within the US slavery system. I am trying to encourage a friend to enhance her reading experiences with some of Thomas Sowell's works as well, but she sees Thomas Sowell as an "Uncle Tom" of sorts. Any help is much appreciated.
