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.

Hey u/queue-anon, if we got all the way through the emojis, where the heck are we in the timeline? I’m a bit lost.

Supposedly a second dorito is breaking out right now.
Good question fren. I kind of stopped datefagging due to seeing a lot of comms then nothing happening, I think the comms were meant to have the enemy expend ammo. RC buying does have me a little hyped though. Bought more shares today.
Surprised I haven't seen any threads today about the entire country being covered in chemtrails all yesterday and today, ofc leading up to Sunday's storm.
Drove through Philly today and it was hilariously covered, like they don't even allow some room for the shills to correct us how it's muh contrails.
Definitely in AL today, I walked outside this morning for less than 2 minutes, by the time I got back inside I was sneezing constantly.
I like the signature way Trump speaks, you can differentiate the AI from the real stuff....for now. AI will probably will get better, let's hope not for this and many other reasons. You all have a blessed day in GAW land

Silver is 100.63 @ 9:14am CST
Futures are now slightly higher. That's normal,we were in backwardation for weeks.
99.49 9:16pm CST
Very excited for this.
What are your thoughts on people saying that the only way silver will go up in value is as the dollar deflates in value?
Does high silver value really mean that a loaf of bread is going to cost $1000?
I don't think this will be the case but I want to hear what other people think about this idea.
Silver is also a commodity, it goes up with usage.
It's not really a monetary metal,like gold is.
Most of the increase now,is it's been kept down so long,it's just raising up to it fair value.
But isn't gold used in the electronics industries..... making it a commodity?
about 250 to 300 tons per year. https://www.gold.org/goldhub/research/gold-demand-trends/gold-demand-trends-full-year-2023/technology#:~:textt
Tiny tiny amounts,compared with the total amount mined.
We consume a billion ounces a year of silver.
FYI...
Jack Smith is testifying before the House right now - I'm watching it on OAN. Probably on C-SPAN as well.
I'd like to find a lawyer that practices tribal law, and will work with white clients
need some help with a guardianship case, but we're not native, so the tribal offices won't talk to us. they ignore any kind of criticism/no where to get advice. they dislike DJT, many cheered after Butler, they hate ICE, etc.
Scott Bessent's remarks about Gavin Newscum at Davos are absolute GOLD!!!
Or maybe
SILVER!!

Prayer Request - Hi folks. I tried to create a post, but, for some reason, I kept getting an invalid post error.
I need some big prayers from this community. My father, a patriot and veteran, was admitted to the ICU yesterday morning. He had been feeling crummy for these last two weeks and collapsed late at night. Paramedics came and took him to ICU, where he’s on a ventilator.
Not sure on his prognosis yet - they’re running more tests in the morning - but, if you could keep him and my family in your prayers, I would be so grateful. He’s the rock of our family. Worked diligently and reliably his whole life,. He’s the kind of guy who can fix and build practically anything. He dug an entire basement by himself at his fishing cabin. I flew out to see him as soon as I got the news and feel terrible. I’ve been a mess all day. He’s my hero and I’m having a very tough time with all of this.
Please pray that he gets off the ventilator and starts breathing on his own. I’ve been asking God for a hedge of protection around our family and speedy healing for him against whatever odds may be ahead of him. He’s in his late 70s, but was still pretty active up until yesterday. I pray that he gets to watch his grandchildren grow up.
Thank you all in advance for your prayers. It means a lot to my family and me.
Abba we lift up Patrick's Father to You for Your Perfect Healing! We ask to give the Doctor's knowledge to make good decisions on his behalf. Father, we ask You to Touch the entire family and wrap them in Your Loving Care. 🤲 We come before You Abba and ask these things in Your Precious Name! Amen! 🙏🙌
Heavenly Father,
We come to you today on behalf of anon PatrickDuffyLeg’s beloved father, in the hospital ICU at the time of the anon’s comment. Lord, we ask that You heal this beloved man and restore him to good health. Lord, please comfort all his loved ones as they journey through this challenging time alongside him, ease their worries and let them know You’re with them and with their beloved father/grandfather/etc, that You’re with his doctors and nurses. Lord, please guide all the doctors and caregivers to provide the utmost and excellent care to this beloved patriot so that he may return home with a fast recovery and solid, good health.
Father, we thank You for the precious people who You’ve blessed us with to be parts of our journey on this earth, for the love we’ve been able to share with them and for the wonderful memories, gifts of Your grace, we’ve filled our hearts with. We thank You for Your patience, healing, blessings and so much more.
We thank You, Almighty God, in the name of Jesus for Your unending love. 🙏✝️
Prayers on the way fren.

Pluto’s Largest Moon Looks Young BY JAKE HEBERT, PH.D.
MONDAY, JULY 21, 2025
https://www.icr.org/article/plutos-largest-moon-looks-young/
When the New Horizons space probe captured images of Pluto and its large moon Charon as it flew by in 2015, conventional scientists were surprised by the small number of craters in Charon’s southern hemisphere.1 This suggested a relatively young surface, despite Charon’s presumed age of over four billion years. How could they account for this?
Theorists proposed that a subsurface ocean developed on Charon billions of years ago. The large plain Vulcan Planitia was then repaved by cryovolcanism, “ice volcano” activity that erupts with gases and materials like water and ammonia rather than with lava.2 They suggested that the heat released by the freezing of that ocean could have powered this geological resurfacing. So, although tiny and distant Charon is presumably cold and dead today, theorists think it might have been warmer in the distant past.3
But there are problems with this idea. Writers of a 2023 paper pointed out difficulties with the idea that cryovolcanism on Charon could be the result of a freezing subsurface ocean billions of years ago. The researchers stated, “We find that current models of Charon's interior evolution predict ice shells that are far too thick to be fully cracked by the stresses associated with ocean freezing.”4 And after four billion years, one would think that a significant number of craters would have still have accumulated in Vulcan Planitia, even if it had been resurfaced eons ago.
Despite these difficulties, authors of a recent study used computer simulations to try to determine when such a freezing event would have occurred.2,5 They varied factors like starting temperature, porosity of Charon’s interior, and the amount of ammonia that might have been present in such a subsurface ocean. The authors stated,
Crucially, in no simulation across any parameter studied so far did the ocean fully freeze in a timeframe consistent with massive cryovolcanic eruptions before 4 Gyr [four billion years] ago. These results strongly suggest that if ocean freezing is the cause of the resurfacing of Vulcan Planitia at 4 Gyr ago, the details of the impact [that is supposed to have formed Pluto and Charon] matter.2
For this reason, theorists are planning future simulations in which Charon formed from an impact with Pluto, hoping that this will make their job easier. As noted by a popular science writer, “If a subsurface ocean on Charon is confirmed, even a frozen one, this could challenge our understanding of how planetary bodies form and evolve, especially so far from the sun.”5
Yes, it would—especially if such an ocean is still liquid water, because maintaining such a liquid would require a precise balance over billions of years:
Maintaining subsurface oceans against freezing over geological times requires a fine balance between internal heating and heat loss, and yet we have several pieces of evidence that Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, and other moons should be ocean worlds.6
How could such a “fine balance” be maintained for so long? If a frozen or partially frozen subsurface ocean is the cause of Charon’s apparent past cryovolcanism, such cryovolcanism would probably be easier to explain if one dropped the assumption of billions of years. And should Charon or other solar system bodies have liquid water today, this is far, far easier to explain if our solar system is just thousands of years old. The most straightforward explanation is that Pluto, Charon, and other objects in our solar system came into existence recently, just as Genesis attests.

So libtards on reddit are complaining Ted Cruz left Texas before the snow storm happens
I wish people had a second brain cell at least. I don't expect a politician to be on the ground when it goes south. He's a suit. Sticking around with no power and no data means he can't do his job. He can come back and shake hands and over see recovery efforts once everything is safe but he shouldn't have to be "hunkered down" (god I hate the use of that phrase during weather scenaios ) when he is most effective away from the scene not in the way of emergency workers and connected ready to make the calls or decisions a politician can to help his people
I always thought this too. Do they need leaders on the ground in a disaster zone? This argument comes up often after various disasters

Ah, his fault. He shouldn't have a heart. He should push the pendulum so far to the right that it will become the perfect weapon for the Cabal to start another swing back. How dare he try to pull this world out of this vicious cycle ?
How silly would it be to die on that hill right now, when we have millions of violent illegals to be removed right under the noses of corrupt judges and reeeing lefties.
Once thats done we can start screaming about those who are not criminals, not on welfare.
