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.

This China trip is a big deal.
Look what has happened to the last few countries President Trump has focused his (and the world's) attention on.
This a big deal.
Remember: you're watching a movie.
Think we'll bring in Xi like Maduro?
No. This one comes willingly without being seen to do so.
President Trump will let him have time to shine in the sun.
Win win. Drinks all around.
It's what is up next that will snap everyone's heads around.
Godfather III?
This movie has been and will continue to be a wild ride.

Also I have been thinking of upgrading my X account,to push my shitposts to a wider audience. Anyone do this? It's like 8 dollers a month.
What has the real life experience for those in states that sell ivermectin over the counter? Do most pharmacies stock it? Is it easy / practical for people in blue states to get from red?
Pretty much everyone orders online without a problem. Or you could tell your doctor you're going to a country with parasite problems and you want some as a preventative measure.
anyone recommend where to buy from? u/BeckyDtheAmerican

Large Study Finds that Replacing Workers with AI Is Backfiring Badly.
Gartner research firm surveyed 350 global business executives whose companies are pulling in at least $1 billion annually to investigate whether massive AI layoffs are paying off in the real world. The study found that about 80% of the companies trimmed their staff to invest in AI, but those businesses have seen about the same financial gains as those who held onto their employees. By sacrificing human workers, they lost valuable institutional knowledge and employee goodwill for nothing. Richard Sutton said that AI that mimics humans without understanding the world as humans do.
Cutting onions this morning. For us frogs that lost a loved one…love me some Kid Rock!

Interesting observation on where the Data centers are being built: AI Data Centers and the New World Order
As we covered in last week’s video, “The New World Order,” the emerging unipolar world is preparing for a major geological event that is expected to be catastrophic for the United States, and beneficial to Russia.
In the United States, data centers are being built inland and on elevated land, away from the coastlines. This is where all vital U.S. infrastructure is being moved, and is where billionaires are buying up acres by the millions.
China is building their data centers inland and high above sea level, over 1,200 km from their main user bases who have been complaining about latency and security. China has also built ready-to-occupy ghost cities at high elevation, deep inland, and on geologically stable platforms. And they are now using economic incentives to move its population into these cities and away from the coast.
Huh? Whats this? Never heard of an emerging unipolar world - explain?

The link before the reference to "the emerging unipolar world" this page actually says the opposite:
In anycase, the more fundamental flow in their thesis is:
Which is the misinterpretation of the fact that Fiat US Dollar Hegemony is being replaced by a strong US Dollar reserve currency backed by its merits, which is what Trump is building.
The frequent reason for this misinterpretation is two fold:
Talk about Petro-Yuan - China buying oil in Yuan directly from the gulf replacing Petro-Dollar. Iran was and Hormuz squeeze was specifically to put an end to that and we will see the results when Trump comes back.
"Dedollarization" where countries are selling their US treasuries to buy gold is interpreted as US dollar collapsing. Infact, Federal Reserve is buying up all these treasuries and is part of the final plan to tackle the 39T US debt that will be cleaned up and treasuries will be made available to anyone in the world using stablecoins.
TLDR: Yes, the entire global financial system, created by City of London and US being used as a useful pawn, is not being replaced by a real financial system of sovereign nations, backed by real US dollars not forced down others.
Your ability to process information is impressive and I think you're getting better.
Thanks my fren. We all fumble through this fog and every new piece of the puzzle that doesn't fit expands the field of vision.

AI is garbage in garbage out. You get the quality what you put in. Always verify before taking action based on its recommendations
