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.

Psalms 91:
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the [a]fowler And from the perilous pestilence. 4 He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and [b]buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, 10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; 11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. 12 In their hands they shall [c]bear you up, Lest you [d]dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will [e]set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With [f]long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”

B of A predicting $309/oz by year end...not sure how accurate that is, time will tell, but we can hope/pray about true value for God's money, gold and silver...what an exciting time to be alive, witness the Glory of God on earth!
We have a new floor it looks like.
Are we having a General Chat blue moon?
Transphasic disorientation?
How can you be in two places at once, when you're not anywhere at all?
See the pinned post list for what I mean.
Looks like unstickies are getting restickied for some reason
And froggie issues. Teeny ribbit
Woohoo my original frog is back!
So is mine.
I had become accustomed to my new Ray Charles Pepe.
Mine that I just got last week disappeared.
Deisel is way up today in Illinois and probably most of the Midwest. It’s over $6 a gallon and gasoline is nearing $5 a gallon. If this is a deep state move to make Trump look bad to the normies, it’s working. Trump needs a countermove and hopefully he does it quickly. We need to keep the people on our side and the price of fuel at the pump for Americans is important.

I don't have an X (Twitter) account and don't want one, but lately, when you all post X links that include videos, there is no sound or any volume controls when clicking on that link and trying to watch the video on X. It's actually pretty damn annoying and makes it hard to share content. What's the easiest way to circumvent this cock-block?
Edit: I know one doesn't have to view the content on X (the videos play with no problems when watching them within the GAW post), but sometimes it's nice having the direct link.
Having the same problem, so you're not hallucinating. Last time something like this happened it was deliberate by X and they stopped doing it after a few days (mandatory sign in to view...).
That said I personally haven't tried using nitter.net, xcancel.com or nitter.poast.org to view these videos yet. That might work.
Edit: I also want to say, in my mind, this started happening after the mods did their recent overhaul here. Maybe related. 🤷♂️
Double edit: I realized it has nothing to do with GAW. I need a nap.
Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure it's a recent and intentional block by X, which is shitty. I'd completely forgotten about those sites you mentioned, though; I'll try one of those next time. 👍🏻 Cheers.
FYI - the first time I noticed the issue was when I tried sharing this awesome post: https://greatawakening.win/p/1ASZR4AFmD/my-kinda-propaganda/c/
I shared the direct X link with a handful of people and realized the "no sound" issue when clicking on it myself (and before a couple of recipients mentioned it).

The Brit government have placed a super injunction on the media to stop them reporting anything about the trial of the Ukrainian catamites that Keir Starmer had knowlege of.
But idle gossip and scabrous rumours about it are quite OK: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/yDPiwKG1c7E

By 2028, the old systems are gone. What starts as streamlining paperwork ends with algorithms in Washington deciding who gets aid, who gets flagged, and who gets to keep operating.
The power isn’t being modernized. It’s being concentrated. And farmers are in the crosshairs now.
After Howard Lutnick became Commerce Secretary, his sons Brandon and Kyle, now leading Cantor Fitzgerald, were reported to have offered companies upfront payments of roughly 20–30% of potential tariff refunds in exchange for the rights to those claims.
