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.

Just ran into nicotine patches suggested to help with autism. Starting at 3.5 gram and working up to 7. I haven’t tried patches for anything myself, but wanted to pass the info on in case it helps anyone. It was an account called Human Garage on IG that mentioned it. u/neverstopbelieving
Edit: found the Dr. Ardis short that mentions it: https://youtube.com/shorts/V3ATqxV-v2A?
Let us know if it helps.
Back in the covid days, there was a study (not sure if true or b.s.) that nicotine could prevent or cure covid. Again, no idea if true. I do know that I come from a long line of tobacco users, and all have lived long, relatively healthy lives. I'm a tobacco user too. And the g0v has been saying for years how bad tobacco use is for you, so I'm convinced its the opposite.
g0v: Tobacco is bad for you (translation, its got benefits)
also g0v: Vaxxxes are safe and effective (translation, they are not)
But what do I know. I'm just a "QaNoN CoNspIraCy tHeORisT"
;)
Some tobacco is very bad for you, sprayed with glycophosphate, insecticides, radiated, etc.Even if it is organic, like American Spirit, the tars still gunk up your lungs. Take it from an ex smoker, it was hell to quit, took so much of my money, and, while cancer free, I do have a touch of copd.
Have heard the same, that nicotine helps with “long covid.” We have been lied to about everything.
Yep. Good luck with the patches helping w/ autism. Hope it works out.
