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.

This is like it's own Sunday funnies on Friday. ThanQ Sir.
Mirror, Mirrow on the Wall, what's the shittiest remake of them all?
So I decided to try dating again (am 38, saw a ton of my friends settle down and get married, huge emotional tax). One of my buddies gifted me a 1yr subscription to one of the dating apps, and it's been a mixed bag. Quite a few ladies trying to do the FWB thing that I don't want, but also met a few who are like me and just want to start a family.
Have two dates next week, one with a 31 yr old nurse and the other with a 40yr old social worker.
Hopefully they are cool. Which app did ya get?
Hey, anons. Has anyone looked into Kinesis Money? I've opened an account but haven't verified my identity or funded it yet. It seems on the surface to be pretty cool. They let you own physical gold that they make liquid using crypto and the MasterCard network. Founder, Andrew McGuire, blew the whistle on precious metals manipulation by the big banks. Anyone see any red flags? (I do stack my own PMs, so I won't replace them with this service. The idea is that this will replace my bank account for short and mid term savings and daily spending.)
If you cant hold it in your hands, its not your gold.
I know, but this isn't supposed to replace gold. It's supposed to replace Fiat-based everyday banking and it uses gold and crypto to accomplish it.
I cant find much info on exactly how it works. Do you have a link to a white paper or something?
Just curious... It just occurred to me that I haven't seen a thing from Mary911 in AGES, went to check and she's deleted her account. Does anyone know what happened to her?
Hmm, I wonder if she has experienced something similar to what I've experienced.
She did not leave willingly. You can DM for details. She is a loveliest of humans and GAWs biggest loss. Thanks to Penisse, we are in direct contact via email. Currently she has lost her dog of 16 years and is singing the blues. Soon, they will head to the pound and bring home a new companion.
I used to make a post for this everyday - can this be included here in the daily post?
Q drops made on this day over the years :

National Monument to the Forefathers Plymouth's huge yet little-known memorial to the Pilgrims.
https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/national-monument-to-the-forefathers
Faith on top flanked by Liberty and Morality Jeff Newman / Atlas Obscura User About Sitting atop a hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and gazing across the sea toward Plymouth, England, is the largest freestanding solid-granite monument in the world. For something so big, it is strangely little known to its neighbors.
Made as a tribute to the Pilgrims who landed the Mayflower at Plymouth and their religious values, and reaching 81 feet tall, the National Monument to the Forefathers took 30 years to build in the late 19th century. A 36-foot-tall sculpture representing “Faith” tops the monument. Sitting on buttresses extending from four sides of the octagonal pedestal are smaller allegorical figures, each carved from a single block of granite.
The Pilgrim Society, who commissioned the work, maintained the monument until 2001 when it gave it to the state. It was originally visible for miles around, but today, thanks to the growth of trees and the development of new buildings, many residents are unaware of the colossal monument in their midst.
The smaller allegorical figures are each flanked by marble reliefs of still more and still smaller allegorical figures: “Morality” is joined by “Prophet” and Evangelist,” “Law” by Justice” and “Mercy,” Education by “Youth” and “Wisdom,” and Liberty” by “Tyranny Overthrown” and “Peace.” On the front side of each buttress is a depiction in marble of a scene from Pilgrim history, and positioned between the buttresses are the monument’s dedication, lists of the Pilgrims, and a quote from William Bradford, Governor of the Plymouth Colony.
A common sentiment amongst normies is that private resellers of anything (game consoles, trading cards, etc) are scumbags. I do feel this plays into the idea that the normie has been conditioned into accepting socialism, preferring a system where only the government (or in this case, licensed retailers with larger purchasing power) can provide goods as well as determine their value. Also, the normie has also been conditioned into being a corporatist, since they are at ease with the idea of for example, Best Buy purchasing a million Nintendo Switch consoles at $300 each and selling them for $400 plus tax but are revolted by the idea of a student or dad purchasing 10 consoles at $400 taxed and selling them at $550 each (after haggling)
So in the hypothetical dream scenario of normies, where resellers or scalpers as they call them do not exist, who determines the value of a scarce good? For example, if there were no scalpers for the Nintendo Switch 2, stock sells out instantly only to people who legitimately want one but person A upon receiving one decides they would like to sell it, what price can they sell it for?
Logic would tell you, the console is even more scarce because there are not multiple third parties offering what they bought to resell, and as a result the price is higher by scarcity alone. This makes it so the problem normies were hoping the manufacturer and official retailers would fix, is even bigger than it was before since one cannot simply go and buy one from one of many "scalpers" for $600 but instead only from someone like person A for $1000
And then comes the unreasonable expectation of the normie to avoid this scenario. The normie expects in light of this either
A: Nintendo depletes their cash surplus by producing tenfold the amount of product, to the point that retailers cannot even sell their on hand inventory, because artificial supply has crippled demand, "Why won't they make moreeee???" the normie cries (kind of like how the normie is okay with the fed printing money)
or
B: the original owner who changed their mind is morally and ethically expected to, and by peer pressure forced, to sell it at cost or more realistically, sell it at a loss so that the pool of prospective buyers is infinitely higher than the amount of supply, while keeping scarcity at an all time high.
This is why empathy based policy or systems like socialism and communism do NOT work and will NOT ever work. There are instances of course in which traditional arguments of supply and demand do not work (such as our corrupt and hyperinflated housing market) but for the majority of services and goods, not alllowing a free market and forcing government regulations is a death sentence for any sense of prosperity
Sadly, normies will never get it.

C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (March 27th)
"And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table." — Matthew 15:27
This woman gained comfort in her misery by thinking GREAT THOUGHTS OF CHRIST. The Master had talked about the children's bread: "Now," argued she, "since Thou art the Master of the table of grace, I know that Thou art a generous housekeeper, and there is sure to be abundance of bread on Thy table; there will be such an abundance for the children that there will be crumbs to throw on the floor for the dogs, and the children will fare none the worse because the dogs are fed." She thought Him one who kept so good a table that all that she needed would only be a crumb in comparison; yet remember, what she wanted was to have the devil cast out of her daughter. It was a very great thing to her, but she had such a high esteem of Christ, that she said, "It is nothing to Him, it is but a crumb for Christ to give." This is the royal road to comfort. Great thoughts of your sin alone will drive you to despair; but great thoughts of Christ will pilot you into the haven of peace. "My sins are many, but oh! it is nothing to Jesus to take them all away. The weight of my guilt presses me down as a giant's foot would crush a worm, but it is no more than a grain of dust to Him, because He has already borne its curse in His own body on the tree. It will be but a small thing for Him to give me full remission, although it will be an infinite blessing for me to receive it." The woman opens her soul's mouth very wide, expecting great things of Jesus, and He fills it with His love. Dear reader, do the same. She confessed what Christ laid at her door, but she laid fast hold upon Him, and drew arguments even out of His hard words; she believed great things of Him, and she thus overcame Him. SHE WON THE VICTORY BY BELIEVING IN HIM. Her case is an instance of prevailing faith; and if we would conquer like her, we must imitate her tactics.
Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something.

Roman Poet Virgil 40 B.C.
Eclogue IV (4)
Now the last age by Cumae's Sibyl sung Has come and gone, and the majestic roll Of circling centuries begins anew: Justice returns, returns old Saturn's reign, With a new breed of men sent down from heaven. Only do thou, at the boy's birth in whom The iron shall cease, the golden race arise, Befriend him, chaste Lucina; 'tis thine own Apollo reigns. And in thy consulate, This glorious age, O Pollio, shall begin, And the months enter on their mighty march. Under thy guidance, whatso tracks remain Of our old wickedness, once done away, Shall free the earth from never-ceasing fear. He shall receive the life of gods, and see Heroes with gods commingling, and himself Be seen of them, and with his father's worth Reign o'er a world at peace.
1 Enoch 18:6-16
I saw at the end of the earth the firmament of the heaven above. And I proceeded and saw a place which burns day and night, where there are seven mountains of magnificent stones, 7three towards the east, and three towards the south. And as for those towards the east, one was of coloured stone, and one of pearl, and one of jacinth, and those towards the south of red stone. 8But the middle one reached to heaven like the throne of God, of alabaster, and the summit of the 9,10throne was of sapphire. And I saw a flaming fire. And beyond these mountains Is a region the end of the great earth: there the heavens were completed. And I saw a deep abyss, with columns of heavenly fire, and among them I saw columns of fire fall, which were beyond measure alike towards 12the height and towards the depth. And beyond that abyss I saw a place which had no firmament of the heaven above, and no firmly founded earth beneath it: there was no water upon it, and no 13birds, but it was a waste and horrible place. I saw there seven stars like great burning mountains, 14and to me, when I inquired regarding them, The angel said: 'This place is the end of heaven and 15earth: this has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven. And the stars which roll over the fire are they which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord in the beginning of 16their rising, because they did not come forth at their appointed times. And He was wroth with them, and bound them till the time when their guilt should be consummated [even] for ten thousand years.'
2 Peter 2:4 New International Version For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, (Tartarus consigned them to caves of darkness), putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;
Jude 1:6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. Gen. 6:6 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
