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.

Interesting things happening over at PDW. Mods disabled downvotes. There has been mass banning of bots and astroturf accounts. There is an op to try to divide the maga base right now.
I think the downvotes might have been disabled sitewide. Someone was saying here they cant see downvotes.
Interesting, we are at the crucial juncture. Thanks for posting this.
Dasting!
I've started noticing younger People are wearing crosses now. This is uplifting.
Yeah, I am seeing people wearing crosses has increased all across the spectrum.
Question: We have all seen the missile attacks on Israel, we are told they can’t stop many of them and they are precise strikes. So if the IDF is bombing Iran then where are they landing the planes? Wherever they land would be target number one right? Any country hosting them would be a target. They have to have functioning airfields to maintain, fuel and rearm, so where are they doing it and why are they intact? This has been bothering me because I cannot come up with any explanation. Any ideas? I mean a F16 or F35 isn’t a mig15 you can drag out of a cow field with a tractor and take off on a paved road.
The whole missile strategy is one of a math problem rather than a weapons problem. Iran's missile output has dropped 90% in the first 10 days, meaning its manufacturing cannot keep up with the missile delivery. This is because Trump has targeted their manufacturing and stockpiles.
So technically they can shoot a missile whenever they want, but they just cant afford to lose their missiles at that rate and have to conserve them for a really strategic inflection point (when they can use all the remaining stockpiles on a very strategic target that can decisively turn the tide of the war).
What this means is that Israel, for all practical purposes, does not need to wrry about these missile attacks as much as otherwise.
Randy Travis' "Glory Train" album. First link is the entire album in one video and second link is a playlist of individual songs in separate videos. I think this will bless you and give you a sense of peace.
Listening now (but on my Cowon Plenue 1 and Fiio FH7S IEMS - that's a rabbit hole discussion) while on noon hour exercise bike.

Follow up edit. Same thing for his "Worship & Faith" faith album. These albums are like the "old days" in the Pigeon Forge parking lots where local bands would play for the tourists and locals. Good times.
All the songs on this album are great but "Above All" I think is my favorite.

This isn't intended to be super-deep (why it's in General Chat) but as you get older don't let pride keep you from increasing your rep-range (meaning decreasing the weight). You've earned the right to not need to impress anyone. You'll only end up hurting yourself.
I know a guy at the gym who is 67 and is always putting the selector pin on as much weight as possible (or putting on multiples of the big plates). He may do 4-5 "throws" (not reps). He recently told me about his many joint replacement surgeries and various other injuries. I could tell it was pointless to try to help him see the connection. Don't be that guy.
imagine boarding a Ship that is going to sail to the precise location where the edge is. Many people might have a different thought.. Like this is going to be a quick trip to the edge and back before dinner. While a very few will board this ship or be dropped on this ship mid voyage. Sure some will jump off the ship after they realize they are on a long voyage.
Yet the few who have the mental capacity to both understand things takes decades, not hours, will board this ship with that mindset. So while on the ship they will have hobbies. They will do things. Maybe pray, work out, read, listen to music, work and so on.
The psychological warfare of patience is the most difficult thing and this is why Jesus calls Patience a Virtue.
I question both sides of this. Can Patience lead to procrastination? Can not having Patience lead to jumping off the ship mid voyage?
Then to add... Those who are on this voyage for seeing it to the end.. Will it ever end? I do not think it will. The end will be each individual passing away. This is not to be a black pill. The courage to go against tyranny is boarding this ship.
If there was no Ship with people going on this adventure what would this world look like? The easiest thing to realize is we would have had HC as president in '16... look back at all the propaganda and she lost.
The ship exists and there is many on the ship. Many have jumped off and live in torture now. once you see there is this much tyranny in the world nothing will be the same no matter what you do... drugs will not work.
The curst is boarding the ship but is it a curse?
USA only falls when God says it falls. His algorithm is unknown to anyone. Will USA fall? Those who jumped off the ship says so for sure.
I will never be the level of .0001 percent of what someone like Trump is or anyone on this board. Jesus says to be the salt not the entree. Many become so entitled in thinking they are the reason something will go or fail.. In reality it is a choice to have patience and every now and then you will see the world shifting and you can be a salt to those little things.
I think God has already made his Judgement, that USA and the rest of the world following its lead are worth saving. Thats why he sent us this ship.
I agree. I'm enjoying the cruise, because God is the captain of my ship, and I'm able to enjoy basking in the sunshine on the deck watching the dolphins and thanking Him for steering us through the storms.

The internet would suck so much if we didn't have something like ga.w
So true.

I just bought my 2nd 10 oz. bar @ $990ish last time it was around $600!
Well done. Those premiums are a killer.
DJT keeps falling, I'm waiting for the bottom and hope I hit it in time for it to reverse course 🎉
