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

HasanAbi finally gets his just desserts, in China
Thank you Veterans, Combat Vets, I cannot even imagine what you endured, and I am so glad you made it back. I want you to know my respect for your service is deep, and I am in awe of you.

It is a voluntary fast under the current rules in the West.
Eastern Catholics and Orthodox observe a similar fast: the Nativity Fast

Great scripture and so true. ❤️
Came across this -- new Marine Corps song and the Marines' hymn -- and thought some might enjoy it ...

What's your favorite war movie? I'm watching Fury today. Then another probably.
Patton, watched it a few times.
Tora! Tora! Tora! Is a great classic movie. So is: Patton. Both well worth watching if you want to see WW2 movies.
There was a small town in Mexico that had an influx of cartel members over time, and during that time, it escalated to fighting between the rival groups that civilians, women and children were being killed in the cross fire and street battles. The leaders and business owners of the village. Not getting any help from the government banded together, found weapons and drove the cartels from the community. That is the only way that community ever found peace. When their elected and appointed people refused to protect the public, they found the courage to save themselves. Remember that!
Happy Veterans Day.
Has anyone heard from Uncle Fester?
Hey BB, are you still affected by the Cloudflare blockage? Is it every country outside of the USA that is blocked? For me, any image posted is not viewable, and the workaround to be here is blocked at work. So, I don't really come here anymore. PDW isn't blocked at work and while I do appreciate the news that is shared there, the people there are not the same as us. People there cannot see the forest from the trees. Hopefully Cloudflare is blocking that psychotic troll that's plagued this forum.
No, things came back for me a while ago. But I do hear its still blocked for some European countries. DIdnt know Japan was still affected.

Okay, seriously now, what's with Trump doubling down on the 600,000 Chinese students thing? Either they take our knowledge back home to China, or they help demographically replace us. Or both.
I know some of these are feints to throw off his enemies, like the 50-year mortgages and the 15-year car loans, but there's always the chance he'll actually do these things.
I'm getting deja vu here, so if I've asked this before months ago, I apologize.
I just want to make it clear that these are all BAD IDEAS.
I ask you this because my friends are asking what Trump's deal is, and I do not have an answer.
The very first sentence he says in his reply is "I didnt say this about Chinese but ..." and he goes on to explain what happens if you suddenly get rid of all foreign students.
So anyone. who characterizes it as "Trump wants 600,000 Chinese Students..." automatically loses my respect and for me, its a deliberate misinformation, and hence I suspect their real motives.
That's reasonable. Thank you. I misunderstood it at first too.
I guess I'm a bit on-edge lately due to off-site events.
Its also important that the British overlords are hoping to topple US economy in anyway possible, and most of those ways are by weaponising our long held expectations by pushing them too hard too fast.
Like take down Fed? Uncontrolled chaos as USD loses credibility
Take down the Big Tech? Your pension funds will be drowning in no time as they all heavily invested in those companies.
Get rid of all students? Most universities that are not dependant on Cabal funding will be gone.
And so on and so forth. There is a very systematic approach to what Trump is doing. He is picking apart every nut and every bolt while putting new struts and supports as we transition from Cabal based financial slavery to freedom.
My sincere advice at this point is not to react to every chess move being made and not even to try and understand it immediately. The moves become clear as time goes forward, and usually within a matter of weeks or days at this point, as opposed to years in the first term.
I cant explain it to anyone. Basically everything he has done for months on end has been a disaster. And it seems very intentional. I guess hes better than Kamala but wtf has happened to him and this whole administration?
Even though I kind of agree with you. I feel like it is intentional I just end up laughing. Like with the whole ozympic pricing and the dude just falling out in the White House. Kek. 50-year mortgage laugh my ass off. Is he trolling? Feel like he's trolling. 🤣
I had this theory where President Trump is acting like he have somewhat of a cognitive decline or disassociation and he's showing signs through stuff like 50 year mortgage/15 year car loan, to get people to think he's suffering a stroke or having dementia.
The reason behind this is because of the 4 years we suffered with the Bidet Admin and how the same people who are saying Trump is senile, didn't say anything about Bidet or said Bidet is doing fine. He's calling these people out by saying they're hypocrites for failing to notice Bidet's actual cognitive decline while accusing Trump of having these symptoms when Trump actually does not have.
Maybe I'm wording this wrong because I don't know how to articulate this perfectly, but the bottom line is he's impersonating Bidet's actions from the 4 years we went through, to see if that will trigger something from the Evil Empire and the Demented Left to accuse Trump of doing exactly what Bidet, Obummer et al did in the past, but didn't get punished for.
Either that or Trump is trying to invoke something in order for the Demonrats to call foul then Trump can easily say, "Well you're saying I can't do this? What about Obummer? He did this! What about Bidet? He did this also! (etc)" to show the people that Bidet, Obummer et al, set precedence and went unpunished for.
Like he used that picture of FDR and the 30 year mortgage and he's putting his picture above the 50 year mortgage, saying that FDR set the precedence for the 30 year, which was stupid to start with, then he's saying, "If FDR did it and everyone accepted it, so can I too!"
I guess he's doing this to wake up the clueless so they can start brushing up on history, for real, and study what happened in the past and why we are where we are today.
Sometimes I wonder about boomerangs and WWJD.
Spot price of silver 50.96

matthew 6:19-24
This is how we fight the banks,who have their boot on our necks.
yes a return to sound money ends the fed fren i am with you but i will always caution others about their relationship to wealth and worldy items
Interesting. Do you have any pictures on the walls in your home?
Not being argumentative. I like art and I like silver. Therefore I like silver art. I view it as only that. If I don’t need it in life it goes to the kids.
This is where many agree with owning nothing and being happy. Yet if we are forced to own nothing is that good?
it isn't about having or not having as the bible does not say having is evil though Jesus did say that it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to receive heaven which brings us around to my point that triggered your inquiry: do not worship money, possessions, or anything else regarding wealth more than you do God (really, don't at all) or you are going to have a bad time because of idoltry and greed. does that make better sense?
Wise people know that God is God and money is not and is in fact God's and is to be used to prove this truth.
Jesus knows that in that day, not everyone who says to Him "Lord! Lord!" will enter the kingdom of heaven and also knows many people will say "Lord! Lord! did we not prophesy in thy name and cast out demons in thy name and do mighty works in thy name?" and He also knows He will have to tell those many to depart from Him because they are workers of iniquity so Jesus wants us doing the Father's will and also told those that have to give it away which is the opposite of hoarding material wealth because more times than not those that accumulate a lot of money begin to worship that money more than God through life choices regardless of being able to make the God/money distinction and guess what Jesus knew that so He taught against it and if you truly follow Christ you would truly understand the full scope of this message biblically and the fact that you know it already belongs to Him and not us tells me you do
Yes. I wish there was more like you.
you are too kind fren
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
John 20:29
This part is so beautiful it made me cry when I read it. It also help me understand why the Q operation is Biblical.
I empathize with Thomas. (That's probably why I'm here on GAW so much. Despite all the proofs, I still feel a deep need to see and know.)
#MeToo. That's why I watch for God's work In all of it.
