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.

Romans 5:6-8
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us
Yes he did and I am so grateful for the sacrifice he made for me ❤️
A math trick with a message. Penn Gillette is quoted as saying that the worst kind of magic is math magic. You decide if he’s correct. Grab a calculator and pick any positive number you want. This trick will not work with negative numbers or zero. But you can pick a small number, a large number, a decimal, a fraction, and even an irrational number like pi, e, or the square root of an imperfect square like 3.
When I say your number, I mean the number that you picked in the beginning. Be sure to hit the equal sign after each operation.
To start, take your number and multiply it by itself.
Next, subtract your number.
Next, add 1.
Next, subtract your number again.
Next, do the square root of the number you finished with in the previous step.
Next, add 5.
Next, subtract your number a third time.
Stop. The number in your calculator is 4 if you followed my directions correctly.
Now, why did I show you this trick? You could have picked any number across the positive numeric system and still finished with 4. We are people across the human spectrum that are all working toward one goal. The freedom of all mankind from an evil cabal that has been trying to rule over all mankind for centuries. We have frens in all 50 states working toward this goal just as all numbers picked eventually converged to the same number. We also have people across several nations who are trying to free their brothers and sisters from the tyranny that is their government. All of us here are working toward the positive conclusion of this mission.
WWG1WGA!
Also, I purposely picked a trick that doesn’t work with negative numbers and zero. We have no negatives and no zeros working toward this mission. The negatives and the zeros are the shills trying to disrupt the work that God gave us to do for such a time as this.
(x*x - 2x + 1) = (x-1) * (x-1)
When you did the square root, you got x-1. Subtracting x and adding 5 will make it 4.
You know your algebra.
Four!

yesssss, Kama[B]la knocked out!
if someone passes this the math trick on to Dan Scavino for the next time Pres. Trump tees off…
Seems to me the 1 and the 5 are important in this.
Interesting! And a moral to the story at the end, wonderful.

Is the weather turning where you are? Days getting shorter? Is your primal self longing for comfort of the hearth? Let me write a prescription for the simplest comfort there is- Colcannon. Get a fresh green cabbage and some creamy fresh potatos. Cut them up and bring to a boil, quickley turning down to a simmer, let that cook at a simmer until cabbage is translucent and potatos are tender. In a pan, saute yellow onion slowly, in Kerry Gold butter, once they are ready, pour over the drained cabbage and potatos and mash, add more irish butter, salt and pepper to taste, a touch of cream, or add some cheese. Mash it all together and eat while warm and steamy. Heaven from the Emerald Isle right there in your mouth.
nice recipe for autumn!
I do that, make it into patties and fry them.
Here's something interesting I have noticed. My small town seems to have an increase in non-English speakers all of a sudden. There are some other small towns around me as well, and when I pass through those towns, I am seeing an uptick in non-English speakers there too. What's going on in small Texas towns these days? This is highly unusual in my neck of the woods.
they're going EVERYWHERE.. I see women in the head covers walking down the street here, and I believe they even place these muslims in quiet red cities. And nobody is doig anything about it, All talk... are we done with Israel yet?
Can we fix America now or is it all about internation trade and business everyday in the White House?
for Anons into crypto and the Treasury:____ and now thinking about it, for ed labor = like a human trafficking issue
$15 billion in Bitcoin seized, Chinese guy working with Cambodians in an emotional manipulation and money laundering scheme — anyways 127,271 BTC for the Treasury with the Brooklyn-filed civil asset forfeiture case . Cambodians were taken into forced labor and made calks to the USA and got sympathy donations, something like that

I’m more ones like Solana and hopeful for the DOGE, but BTC and ETH seem to be the ones focussed on in the market space
It is still the wild west for me, but things need to change from the current slavery conditions we live in today.
yes, quite the Wild West, good way of putting it, cryptos dropping in price lately, and I agree that the slavery conditions need to be ended!
Make This Ordinary Day Extraordinary.
Psalm 118:24
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Why are they arresting everyone at the bottom but not the top (people in govt, billionaires) which is the source of fundings for all the hooligans. Why not cut off the heads first?
Because the head was already cut off. This is how you remove the metastasised cancer cells in the society. Is all for the benefit of people watching the Movie. These low level arrests and their upcoming cases would tell the story that is necessary for the awakening
What about agates, Soros, all the demons in the govt now running their mouths and funding antifa and warmongers? Add EU, NATO, UK, Muslims, now NYC will have a Muslim mayor.. aren’t those heads we need to be rid of?
Q told us that Antifa had been infiltrated even in Trump's first term. So what we are seeing is the final stages of an enemy asset, that the enemy has put a lot of hopes into and nurtured carefully expending a lot of resources, but it would turn out to be the biggest wakeup call to the sleeping normies who have been told that white christians are the "domestic terrorists".
None of those are heads. In Tom Luongo's words, they are all "upper management" or "middle management". And they are absolutely necessary to bring the world to the Precipice.
What could be better than people finding out that Obama is directly behind Momdani who is part of the Muslim Brotherhood?
Anyone hear that Alaska is experiencing massive flooding due to a typhoon that dumped bunches of rainfall? I had no idea until I saw the Cajun Navy X post.
Same for me, I saw it on a meteorologist (still in school) account on instagram. NC Weather Authority if anyone is interested. He’s better at forecasting than the news. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this. Guess it shows how much I’m off screens. I saw they were flying people out on the big military planes. My husband said, if you didn’t know I sure didn’t😀 I haven’t had a chance to look it up. I hope it’s not like another NC flood situation.
Does anyone know a decent, quick, free, unspywared tool for making video memes?
Is the number of "rising" threads down this week?
frazzled.rip is going to be deemed as AI when it comes out and therefore overlooked
Public Service Announcement;
My Dad passed this month. I did not know that Dad put me on his Spectrum account, so it was up to me to close the services.
Wow I felt I was in an experimental torture chamber dealing with Spectrum to get the account closed.
I told Spectrum as suggested by GROK (X AI) to say “ I want to cancel the account” because their service was no longer needed.
Simple? No, spectrum recorded a 20 min conversation of me saying “I want to cancel the account” because their service was no longer needed.”. While they went through the script of up sales, better deals, and why are you closing questions.
Customer Service versus Corporate manipulation. It seems there are no rules against consumer torture.
Grok suggested to say during the Call: Say something like: “Under FCC truth-in-billing and anti-slamming rules (47 CFR § 64.2401 and 47 U.S.C. § 258), please process my cancellation without further delay or questions.” This often works as a deterrent, even if not verbatim law.
Never heard of Spectrum til now so I googled "Cancelling Spectrum" and oh boy, its something else. It seems people have gone for hours without luck and had to hang up because they had other things to do. And this has been going on for years. Sheese.
So did you succeed in the end?
One thing I did find was that if you take the equipment to their store and ask to cancel, they do it immediately.
Dear Bubble,
Yes I succeeded or I have a conformation number to document the conversation.
The recommendation for the equipment return is that you photo the equipment serial numbers and keep the return receipt. They have been known to charge you for the equipment even though you returned it.
Yes this is a standard practice and I admit to using tears to end the torture.
To enjoy the Spectrum canceling experience without the pain, I invite you to view: SNL skit: https://youtu.be/V5DeDLI8_IM
Food for thought. If revelations talks about a chip under the skin in which you must have to participate in society.
And the chip is the "mark of the beast".
If the chip is the MARK of the beast. What does that make the controlling AI that collects, monitors and controls it all?

Tucker Carlson has had several shows on demons lately. The one about the occult was scary but worth the watch. If you stream on Spotify it doesn’t have commercials. I’m not sure if that’s true using the free service. We are on a family plan. I think they discussed the Antichrist on that one. I’m sorry, I can’t explain things very well. They mentioned AI, Babylon & digital ID.
just saying if one had the time and removed the audio from that country singers rant-Brian Andrews- and put it side by side to a hitler speech. It is the same Spirit. This is a Spiritual Warfare including modern technologies but the Spirit lingers. Bryan is a fat version with a bigger mustache but also includes the devil horns on his hat.
it has to be intentionally... I dunno. Some will say some people are to Spiritual to be Earthly Good -Jesus does say this, but I also think at time people are to Earthly to be Spiritually capable of seeing.
anyone else remember that it's theorized the antichrist would bring a short period of peace in the middle east? am I just saying what you've been thinking? it only just occurred to me. please don't kill the innocent critical thinker messenger
Why theorize anything when the truth is written so clearly in Jesus' own words?
