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.

I don’t think I’m making it to the end of this fight, everyone.
The financial burden has become too great, and I’m about to lose my health insurance coverage, which means I’m losing access to the medications literally keeping me alive.
I hope you all make it to better days. It’s been real.
Sorry to hear this fren. Keeping you in our prayers.
Have you been to the trump rx website?
Can’t get the bloodwork covered I need to get prescription refills that would be honored at a site like that.
Just not worth it anymore.
You WILL MAKE IT fren! 💪
Don't give up! We are here for you!! 🙏🤍

Have y'all seen this interview with a 9 year old boy who invented an alternate way to charge his cell phone? Amazing!

cool invention and great inventor! might want this for emergencies
If anyone wants me to spy on Democrat messaging, YouTube decided it needs to send me videos from all their top independent pundits for some reason right now.
All cause I clicked some crazy looking dude with an ambiguous headline. The switch was instant.
so yeah, what’s their next tactics, they did 2020 rioting and burning things down + election steal, they’ve brought in people who eat the dogs, cats, ducks…
will be interesting to know what’s next

I saw a bunch more a few days ago, but they disappeared as quickly as they showed up …. Thankfully.
I don’t know what to do with this…so I’ll leave it here.

Blue Origin's New Glenn had a full stack RUD on the pad last night. They won't be flying again for 1-2 years.
Breaking: Andover New Jersey cancels data center project and passes complete ban!! Rural NJ is fighting back against Big Tech!
locals here in rural North Texas are having to fight tooth and nail, to stop these data centers from coming in...Blackrock/Cyrus One is going county to county, turned down in one county and moving on to the one next to it...lotta open ranch land out here, but we need our water for livestock and crops, and people...it's a raging battle right at this moment in time, to keep Texas looking like and being Texas!
I'm wondering if the verdict is still out on data centers. I'm hearing lots of noise, but what if the computer power can invent in short time some way to cool with little or no water and then the rural plafes with these centers will have huge boons for jobs and the economy?
from what i have gleaned from the local and other area discussions, the only employment will be short-term for the build, bringing "who knows what" into our area...talk of "man camps" to be built for this short-term construction work...the local economy will not benefit from AI, as it's kinda like the "wind farm" and "solar farm" experiments...total bust, no benefits for those of us who actually live out here locally except corrupting our beautiful Texas countryside, kill birds, disrupt wildlife habitats, etc...suddenly nobody is concerned about "the environmental impact" of sound pollution, light pollution, etc...i think about the old Sonny and Cher song lyric "pave paradise and put in a parking lot"...
But those have to be maintained to don't they? I've seen parks around KY where teams are almost daily working around changing parts and stuff
Its great to see people have this much say in what they want in their community. It looks like the biggest problem was PILOT (Payment In Lieu Of Taxes) which would have ended up with the community not getting any gains from the taxes while the datacenter would have made millions.
Hopefully NJ will get rid of their stupid PILOT scheme and come up with something better.
Interviews With People Born in the 1800s! Filmed in 1929 Restored in Color

If you haven't checked out aliens.gov (or whitehouse.gov/aliens), you really should. They even have the X-files music playing. The trolling is beautiful.
My favorite quote "If you witness an alien abduction, do not be alarmed. The alien is in good hands. We will return it to its place of origin."
"aliens are demons"
They're not sending their best.
nice they can return them to their place of origin!
if the agents need a place to stay, Area 51 sky watchers used to go to the Little ‘Le’Inn in Nevada, I never made it out there, but knew some people who went. Original owner Joe Travis passed, but his wife Connie & daughter continue the inn & grill. https://www.littlealeinn.com/
Love the White House Communication Team! 🛸✨👏
I do love the Trump administration's sense of humor!
