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.

Yes I'm having a good day,with shiny and mining stock and options.
=14 This morning. The dog let himself out, I did not accompany him, no fetching or running, he knew the drill, in and out and no monkey business.
👉🏻 Jeremiah 33:14: “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.”
Praise God and Jesus!!!
I just saw the headline that Trump passed a $12b lifeline for us farmers - the Lord has heard our prayers!! We were needless to say livid when Argentina got $20b a few weeks ago, but we have to trust that the Lord works through President Trump. God bless! ❤️
Argentina didn't "get" 20bil for free. It was currency investment, stabilises their market and fetches returns on top of the investment. Commonly smeared as a handout in main stream and even some altstream media.
If you didn’t say they got for free not sure what your point of comparison was
And just like that, the clever shills exposes itself on the first day :)

What's the current thought on the "Scouts"? Are there better organizations for young people to be in?
Look into Trail Life and American Heritage Girls. These were split offs from BS and GS that intend to be what the original Scouts groups were supposed to be.
the woke crowd ruined it thoroughly by letting abusers take positions of leadership, ruining thousands of boys & young men’s lives.
Next, to be “inclusive” they change the name to Scouting America. I just don’t want to provide the link.
So once the woke crowd is routed and however # million invaders are sent home, we could have the Boy Scouts of America officially rechartered appropriately.
Awanas is a boys & girls club, largely conservative Baptist. I volunteered for a year in college as part of community service requirement. https://clubs.awana.org/
Christian Service Brigade (CBS) is for boys and young men. Pioneer Girls became at some point Pioneer Club for boys and girls, kind of lame imo, when it was for Girls only I had a few classmates who were in it and one’s mother was a local leader
With CBS we did camping skills, basic wood working skills (pinewood derby pine wood crafted small cars about 9” long for racing down ramp track, the girls got to make small boats that would float down water- filled tracks, blown by medium-power fans). I don’t believe there area any woke crowd with CBS or Awanas.

CBS, we got lessons and earned patches, I remember sailing, it was fun. Capture the Flag, dodgeball, character building lessons. My Scottish-visiting group leader visiting in the States was a good guy, Alan P. He taught computers & basic programming (coding)

seems like you're into dinosaurs and science lol
What do you think about the 3i Atlas? I can't seem to wrap my head around it
First, I don't believe it's some space craft, my guess it's an unusual comet. It has the common characteristics of a comet, it's just different. You can guess why secular scientists want to make it a E.T. space craft. Also, if evolution is impossible on Earth, it's impossible anywhere in the universe.
