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.

Jimmy Wales, head of @Wikipedia, has blocked editing of the article on Gaza genocide because he claims that it is "highly contested" that "Israel" is committing genocide. Support for "Israel" cannot survive free speech, therefore, free speech must go
Jersey frens, please make sure to go out and vote for Jack today!
We just went to vote and they didn't even ask us for ID. There was hardly anybody there either.
They just asked me to state my address and my date of birth, which they checked against their records. I submitted my mailed ballot at the polling place, but don't see why I couldn't have mailed it and voted again at the polls.
Remember the 5th of November, is a full moon this year. Will we see extra lunacy?

It does bring out the crazy in people, more than normal.
HG Wells (1866 - 1946) was a man beyond his time.
War of the Worlds (1898) :

"No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were watched closely by intelligence greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their affairs they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older world of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most, terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise."
P.S It's fascinating Wells wrote about cylinder flying objects in 1898, way before WW1
Don't you love how conspiracy is becoming mainstream? There's too much disinfo in the mix though. The truth is out there! You can actually find Alex Jones on Facebook...wonder how long that will last
As the USA is being cleansed of corruption, as the people who have been on generational welfare wake up to reality, and more people loose their free ride tickets and more people are held accountable, illegals deported, terrorists exposed and jailed,, we all know to be alert to the unrest that will continue. Jihad is not going away, they play a long game and strike just when we think it is calm. There is going to be another cause of panic and crime. Hundreds of thousands of people have been used to easy access illegal drugs, crack, meth, fentanyl. The busts continue to remove access to these drugs. That means thousands of street people and rural junkies will be tweaking badly. That means more young people who are possessed with additctions will be desperate. I do not think Americans are aware of just how many drug addicted people there are out there. While our eyes are peeled for Antifa and towel headed crime, there is going to be mass withdrawal going on. There is going to be more crime, as the drugs become scarce for them, the price of what is available will rise, crime will rise, and....when the drugs are removed, money will not help them. Just be aware that there is more craziness to come. A lot more we will witness and it will not be pretty, Lancing infected abcesses is a very nasty procedure,, it is on the body, and it is on society. Keep close to God through all of this, do not let him find you snoring in the garden. And pray for these people to be relieved of their demons, once a day, take the minute to ask God to purge all afflicted, that they may walk in light free of the devil. Drugs cause serious changes to peoples brains, we have to stop this. Not a town in America is free from them.
I completely agree it’s more important to plead the blood of Jesus Christ over ourselves and loved ones every single morning before stepping out the door. We have no idea what we will encounter afterwards.
Tomorrow is November 5th and I can’t find a streaming service that is playing V for Vendetta. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Putlocker.pe
Has everything you want to watch with no ads during playing and pg advertising when not playing.
I just checked it out. I was able to find V with no problem. Might I recommend a related film which I found there, and is not available for streaming. It’s called Brazil and is co-written and directed by Terry Gilliam, who was Monty Python’s animator. It’s about a British government that is controlling but inept. Unlike V, the government wins in the end.
Thanks. It looks like we’ll be watching it on a small screen this year.
I have been watching some TV shows on https://zoechip.cc, just checked, V for Vendetta is on there - https://zoechip.cc/movie/v-for-vendetta-18951
I'll probably give it a watch myself, its kind of a tradition.

On target, on point.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney dead at 84. Too bad he wasn't hanged in the Public Square. An Evil Demon.
Once again, justice wasn't served. Thanks, govt.
First thought I had was if he was taken out for distraction from the DS. He was definitely an evil being. Hope he had time to repent.🥴
Just a note: the Thread (aka post+comments) by Wulf on our recently departed Horsey exemplifies the amazing nature of GAW. Many names I did not recognize, and yet, these frogs got so much from Tetartos. It was moving to read the commentary.
I guess GAW is truly bigger than any one of us.
But consider this: his wife informed us that Tetartos Ippeas actually died while laughing. Knowing that makes my heart smile.

For no reason other than the lulz, I had a meme going of “Cracker Barrel Unveils Another New Logo”, but this time with the man replaced by a steaming bowl of delicious udon noodles with chopsticks in them, in a nice decorative Han style bowl, as the ghost of the marketing director hovered hormonally in the background.
But then photoshop crashed.

Ah. I am at a crossroads. Pedant as I am, linguist and culturally Far Eastern (in many ways), I feel constrained to point out such a nitty, narly factoid: that the chop sticks here are Japanese Chop sticks and not Chinese. And, udon noodles are Japanese, though and through. Sure, all noodles originally come from China, but they have been transformed and adapted, so that Japanese noodles and Korean noodles and Chinese noodles, etc, have some overlap, but also very distinctive types. Udon is Japanese.
The bowl, yes, no problem there. Sigh. I feel like I have thrown a cold blanket on the lulz. Not a lulz thing to do. But, the pedant in me could not desist. Woah, is me.
Updoogle.
On another note, did you know that udon is the answer you give when Trump asks whose going to win the election.
So, whose gonna win this election bigly?
Why, You, Don.

Ah, praise the memification! Well done!
To the contrary, given that the meme was intended to cause exactly that sort of problem, it makes the picture better. Granted, the “Chinese food” won’t be in the meme, as this was just a source graphic, but anons will know.
I may go ahead and remake it anyway.
Yes, please.
creative, I had to look up udon noodles as I was in a Japanese grocery store today and did not know that udon was Chinese noodles.
standing corrected by Fractalizingiron, udon = Japanese
But its not! At all.
うどん or 饂飩
The noodles themselves may have started out in China, but they have become thoroughly Japanese over the past millennium. "udon' is a Japanese word, too.

thanks for the correction
2 Timothy 4:7&8
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

I really enjoy reading the bible everyday.
It's like training people to recognize counterfeit money, if they handle the real money long enough, they recognize the fake.
John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
