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.

Imgur Users Seethe As Imgur Warns Them For Posting Violent Threats: "Kill Nazis!"
From the front page of Imgur: https://imgur.com/gallery/you-heard-here-folks-imgur-management-is-pro-nazi-FpiGdsM
Imgur:
Imgur has too many unhinged Redditors
Edit: I've always found the left's advocacy for pre-emptive violence against "Nazis" to be concerning. A lot of actual Nazis or "Nazis" (to them) are willing to fight back if provoked, and they keep displaying a willingness to provoke. Always sounded like a recipe for disaster
So the same week Charlie Kirk's trans-loving assassin is set for trial with cameras present - a moment which might have recaptured the nation's attention and led to renewed interest in truth - Candace Owens puts on a weeklong soap opera which distracts everyone then ultimately amounts to nothing of substance.
The war of narratives is raging. Be careful not to get swept in the wrong direction.
And maybe erika and candace are both distracting from whatever is true about this situation
It's shocking how many people suddenly love Candace Owens and even some hardcore MAGA guys I know are posting on FB that Erika is acting strange. It's weird.
The war on traditionally Christian holidays like Christmas rages on. The communists, determined to take Christ out of Christmas must be dethroned.
Where? Not where I live, the little local shops are decorated, the neighbors have lights, the churches have wreaths and community suppers and Advent brunches through the season, local churches are having movie nights about the birth of Jesus, people are showing generosity to the food pantries and toy drives for children. I live far away from cities and malls, but the little villages, the snow helps put us all in the mood. If you are a Christian that believes its a pagan holiday, that is as bad as the people who are having this "war". A strong word for something I never thought was that serious. You raise your kids in a faith based home, you choose your friends, this season of waiting for advent and the joy of the Messiahs is not lost on Christians, nor is it being suppressed. Maybe somewhere else, but not in rural New England. Yes of course I know the historical fact is that it is probably not the exact date of birth, maybe even months off. I come from white northern european and Irish heritage, Christmas has been celebrated for centuries by the Church and the people, I am not going to go against that. Why should I? I am also not going to let societal trends throw me into a bad mood about it. For the people who cannot believe in the deeper meaning, I just feel sorry for them. Honestly I see no raging war here.

2 weird things happened today. the first was I sent an email to my senator saying I will not vote for him next time and a minute later I get a text from the Federal Government asking if I would take a survey on voting... I replied to that text saying the same as the email. So my email I used is linked to my phone number. I view it as intimidation but I just laugh about it. I already know if the Democratic Party gets the ability it is done for people like me. I am nobody either. I am a peaceful person but that is something these authoritarian people can not handle.
the 2nd was I post a little on FB again. It actually works. However I don't pay attention to anyone I am posting to. If they say something idiotic I will reply. Well one said they know who I am. ok. get over it then. It was a furry dude. he had those flags of Iran flying on his page, so I told him to stop taking his drugs and chill out... well a little time goes by and all of a sudden someone is raving up their truck in front of my home and doing donuts. I have neighbors and many cameras. He seemed to see them and slid into the direction of my home due to snow and sat there then started doing donuts....
if he stopped and started walking up to the home I would have just opened the door and asked him if he wanted to hang out and have a drink. I would seriously do that too. It happened years ago and that is what I did then too. That time the guy was too shocked to stay. That one was about me hitting on his woman or something back in the day.
just 2 weird things today. I am sensing lots of people losing their minds like they did when antifa was doing their crazy stuff a few years ago.
Wait, are you saying the guy in the truck is the furry Iranian?
It was just weird. Very possible. On camera it was one person in the truck. He knows where I live and so do the people who know us both. First time that truck has been around here.
Would not be the first time people get triggered for my opinions and won’t be the last I am sure.
If it was the furry I applaud its ability to even do that. In the future when Democratic Party gets power returned, I believe that will be the brink people speculate about.
Sadly, I think we're only about 10 months from a demonrat majority from the midterms, everyone I know has lost their minds over obamacare. Even hard right folks are mad about it and holding their senators feet to the fire.
Naw. It is too funny. I have done work for things over the years that are more unbelievable. In your discernment you are like a jock. Bet you worship sports and scream at the tv as-if it hears you. Haha
Would you admit it?
I already know no matter what I do will not stop anything but along the way I will speak up and not hide.
You hide. Haha
I have many cameras because I have been robbed 6 times, one with a gun. Last time I was robbed they arrested the blm woman and all my camera footage helpedff put her in prison.

Someone posted a very cool video of something called Kinesin that completely dismantles the idea of evolution as the only means for the origin of species. It was very cool. Will watch this one too.
