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.

Claude the albino alligator died on December 2, 2025, at the age of 30. He had been diagnosed with liver cancer prior to his passing..
That’s so sad. Is 30 years good for an alligator?
They can live 60 to 80 years in captivity. It was early for Claude.
Wow! That’s a long time. I think they are beautiful creatures, even though I would not want to run a foot race against one. I wonder if ivermectin could have saved his life.
That's a good question. Not sure. If there are Crocodiles or Alligators in the Water, I'm not going.
Even though I am new on this platform, I have been around. My roller coaster began decades ago. CUE was confirmation of what myself and other team members had known, and validation of the work we had been doing "Offline". Our encounters with the machine were one-sided, and the confrontations were just as lopsided. Losing a Page, Account, vidyas, and content, was just the price we paid for not backing down. Once on scene, CUE made it easier to ID the threats, but it also brought out the "CUE sent me" crowd, that contributed nothing, and usually diluted the message. I still hang out every now and then, but our fight is over. I just want to say that I am grateful to all of you for taking this task and continuing to be a light in the darkness. JW
What will happen to the kids of next generation? They have all been indoctrinated and the ones with good upbringings and strong Christian values will be the future warriors fighting these brainwashed liberals.. rinse and repeat.
Many parents are waking up and have decided to stop pimping their children out to the public education system. The number of homeschooling families have increased exponentially in the last decade. I think many parents are starting to realize the convenience in pushing their kid off on the government to raise is costing them more than just financially. Our goal is to continue to expose and shut down these liberal indoctrination stations, and help families to thrive without the dependence on government as their child's nanny. There is a Q post that states that the world is changing, can you feel it. I believe it is andI can feel it. I see it all around me. While I also see the chaos, I view that chaos as the last dying breath of the cabal. There will be weeping (in many cases screeching) and gnashing of teeth as these demons face their doom. Our children will finally be set free from the snares that were set all around them. We will talk to our children about the wickedness that once ensnared us, and we will also talk to our children daily about Christ and the work He did on the cross for each of us. Our families will flourish once again. I believe the end is for the cabal and its minions, not for us.
I completely agree. I cannot bring myself to be all doomed out and assume the end is near for us. It’s just the beginning for us, but the end of the controlling cabal system.
What's happening now is going to break all of the evil cycles that weaken us. There's a huge upswing in Awakening right now, especially with kids.
Well, it's going to be libtard tantrum day. Again.
Europe is the US’s largest lender with its countries owning $8 trillion of US bonds and equities, almost twice as much as the rest of the world combined, George Saravelos, Deutsche Bank’s global head of FX research, wrote in a note to clients on Sunday.
To be honest, $8 trilly is still kind of a drop in the bucket. The Federal Reserve and the Social Security Administration both collectively own $7.1 trillion dollars, US national entities (Corps and individuals) own another ~$12.6 trillion, state and local governments own $1.7 trillion, and the remaining $8.5 is pension funds and other foreign entities.
Europe is hardly our largest lender when the US as a whole owes itself over $20 trilly.
Your argument is weak Fren.
Why Is Natural Selection an Illusion? BY MICHAEL J. STAMP | WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2025

Consider the following scenario. A population of organisms, let’s say racoons, lives in an environment somewhere on Earth and eats a variety of foods. Its kind has thrived in that relatively stable environment for centuries. The weather suddenly cools for an extended period, and the creatures’ main food source diminishes. The racoons promptly respond by shifting their diet and behavior and search out more of their secondary foods. Their physiology appropriately adjusts to the change in diet. The creatures also respond to the temperature change by altering their metabolism—perhaps growing thicker coats and additional layers of fat that enable them to better cope with the cold. And the codes for these trait variations can rapidly transfer to the next generation. So, the racoons innately and quickly respond to the environmental changes in several appropriate ways.
One might claim that the environment influenced the racoons to change. Yet, the environment is only a collection of conditions to which organisms are exposed. The environment doesn’t possess any agency to make any of the changes happen. When people project human-like abilities onto nature it’s called personification. What actually caused the creature to change? Did nature send some sort of message to the racoons? Did nature select for their changes and survival? No, the act of sending requires a mind and a will to determine the signal’s content as well as the power and means to send the signal. Nature possesses none of these attributes.
It’s clear the environmental conditions changed, but the change was actively detected by the creature rather than being sent to the creature. Information possessed within creatures is what specifies any given condition to be a stimulus for reaction.
We don’t observe natural selection “working,” “acting on,” or “favoring.” Applying these verbs is inaccurate and misleading. This pseudo-activity is misused by some to project agency onto nature and to view it as a substitute Creator. But all the activity—all the sensing, triggering, processing, and selecting— originated within the creature. The racoon is the active, causal entity in each step. Its built-in sensors actively look for the many changes in the environment that specifically relate to its wellbeing and that of its offspring.
The creature’s body systems are specifically engineered to do all these active things: they sense changed conditions, sort the incoming data, employ the innate if-then logic built into their systems for proper response—often quickly and predictively. The systems then execute responses from a number of potential actionable options, enabling the creature to adjust to and thrive in its new conditions. The systems then conduct “surveillance” for the next changes. All these phenomenal attributes are innate to the creature. They were specifically designed and placed into the creature from the moment of its creation.
Going back to our example, if environmental conditions revert back to their initial state, the racoon usually retains the built-in ability to change itself, and its subsequent generations, back to what worked best for that context.
Darwin knew virtually nothing of the profoundly complex genetic and epigenetic codes creatures possess when he came up with the misleading concept of natural selection. Darwin based his concept on mere appearance. I can select, you can select, but nature can’t select. Natural selection is clearly an illusion. Conditions simply exist. They are real and often change, but they can’t create precise new code to cause change. The complex code must be written by a writer, designed by a designer, programmed by a brilliant programmer: Christ Jesus.

Why are mens jaws harder than womens jaws?
When recent topics like NATO, incoming golden age etc, it got me to thinking how those in power have ultimately dug us into these situations. The people who are supposed to represent us often fail to do so and are eventually corrupted.
This got me to thinking, I think it’d be nice if our representatives were picked from a lottery of sorts, similar to jury duty. Randos are picked from their respective districts. You could pass and let the system re-roll. (Certain maths would need put in place to make a roll fair for all parties). Terms would be very short. Certain checks in place to prevent big money chasing lottery winners for their vote.
The goal would be to have regular people represent the wants and needs of the people. I’m pretty sure I could trust that my neighbor wouldn’t vote to fund some ridiculous thing.
I do think that the original idea for the Senate (Indirectly voted for by the public, the local state representatives choosing more senior representatives with longer terms) may be a decent complement if tweaked.
Quickly churning House with the legislative author authority, and a longer term Senate (maybe not 6 years, 1 term limit, and serves at-will with the state's blessing), with power to prosecute impeachments and legislative revisional power, as a foil.
TL;DR House authors all bills, Senate revises bills, after both agree, then President signs/vetos.
Enough to apply brakes when needed, but not too much as to let the Senate stall out proceedings forever.
interesting idea, I’ve had some classmates who would make better reps. than others, a qualified lottery might make sense
as once the golden age energy & financial system is in place, I don’t think there would be temptation for the people to fall for socialists’ controlled regressive-progressive schemes
