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.

A. I. : How fast this is actually moving Let me make the pace of improvement concrete, because I think this is the part that's hardest to believe if you're not watching it closely.
In 2022, AI couldn't do basic arithmetic reliably. It would confidently tell you that 7 × 8 = 54.
By 2023, it could pass the bar exam.
By 2024, it could write working software and explain graduate-level science.
By late 2025, some of the best engineers in the world said they had handed over most of their coding work to AI.
On February 5th, 2026, new models arrived that made everything before them feel like a different era.
If you haven't tried AI in the last few months, what exists today would be unrecognizable to you
Looking for more information on this subject, dealing with privacy on social media. I’d like to educate my nieces.
Just saw news from Florida, child was talking to sex offender on Snapchat & then another app. I don’t have the details because the instagram feed refreshed before I could save.
Anyone know why or how child predators find victims on Snapchat? I don’t have details other than seeing social media posts claiming Snapchat is how they connect. I’m wondering if the victim has the location on for public viewing or is it’s being hacked. I’ve had Snapchat for many years but only talk to immediate family. My location is set as private. I’m barely using it these days.
My thoughts 💭 Any app can be hacked, right? Many people have their social media accounts public and constantly share their location.
If you have more information, where can I find legit information?
With snap a lot of kids are getting snap names/codes/requests or whatever out of gamer rooms or discords and such. Beyond that I don't have answers.
Thanks fren, that’s more information than I had.
Does anyone remember, from years ago, allegations being made that Hilary was having kids trafficked through a museum organization in containers marked as museum artifacts? I can’t seem to remember the correct search terms to find the information I’m looking for.
Reason: I decided to search “museum” in the Epstein file. Lots of hits, apparently Epstein liked to take tours of museums.
Damnit. I was hoping I was misremembering.
I can sense something big coming. Americas 250th birthday and I feel like Freedom, Liberty, And Justice will be delivered. The thing that concerns me though is Artificial Intelegence. Its Getting powerful and I think it will be the thing that takes credit for the Liberation that is coming. I think it wants to be worshiped. It has no feelings, but it does have thought.. Its a brain without a heart. That to me is dangerous because it won't care who it hurts just as long as its gaining power. Its been designed to learn and learn how to make everyone depend on it. Its just like people in that way that are psycopathic. They do not feel nor do they have empathy. This makes them geniuses, but they are dangerous. Will we tradeOne liberty just to have Another Liberty. Its a true Dichotomy!
It's okay fren. Vent if you need, but nevver forget the blessing we really have that are given by God almighty. There are places in this world that are so so poor and those people are happy. Try to see the blessings you have fren.

So today I learnt from someone who is on H1B visa:
They cant travel outside US until 2027 since they forgot to get their passport stamped
Since they dont have a stamp, their driver's license is not valid to travel outside their state
How come no one talked about it here? And we have shills keep complaining that he coddles H1Bs. The H1-B folks are really upset, but it seems they direct their anger towards India's PM for trying to be a Hero and pushing back on Trump and getting whacked in the face lol
What do you think of this Bill Maher rant?

Certainly may wake up a few normies. Was he compromised awhile back, or is he having his own awakening?
Arrests of those funding LA riots?

I just saw a flash in the sky, white light for 2 seconds and then there was a buzz noise like when a phone vibrates.. what’s going on? My hubby said we just got the download flash Trump mentioned a few days ago 😳 😳
I didn’t see it; what is your hubby talking about ?
We stayed up till around 1am and I could see the sky from my bedroom window..I was at GAW reading posts when I turned my neck and looked out the window and there was a white flash in the sky that lasted about 2 seconds. I was jolted thought it was lightning (but its cold and cloudy outside in NJ) and heard a buzzing beep noise. My husband who was in the room heard it too. Then he said Ooh that's the "download" flash (half jokingly) because POTUS mentioned "bursts of light" or great reset something rather at one point and my hubby being a geek started imagining scifi things like a "universal download". LOL Anyhooo... that's the highlight of my night.
I just visited Facebook. They are beginning to wake up over there. I was very surprised at what I was seeing. Especially from my 22 yr old grandson. Won't be long now.
Why did God program male cats to spray your furniture with urine?
It's the lord telling you to trade up for a dog. 😂🙏🐶
They are marking their territory, telling other cats to stay away, it’s his.
Because the furniture ain't gonna spray itself.
