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.

The Spirit my mother possessed (rather possessed by) is still alive and well today and back then I would see it just as I do today.
My Father was always an independent person. He always owned a restaurant when I was young. He had a very successful restaurant in a Mall in the 80's--the height of Malls too. He would have a line waiting for fish and chips going down the mall.. to this day still have not seen that.
My mother being the jealous and always victim person she is one day takes me to the mall and we go into Woolworths and she buys some woman's underwear. I do not know how I remember all this but I do because I was maybe 7 years.
Now Woolworths is a store like JCPenny/retail store of the past. This store is in the Mall too.. this was one of the first concept Malls in the USA where they put a roof over the outside stores so people can stay inside as they walk from store to store. I remember passing my favorite store, let's call it Wherehouse Entertainment, but it was a different name than that it was the only store in the country.
As we are walking to my Dad's restaurant we are passing all these people waiting to get Fish and Chips I remember having a feeling of pride for my Dad having such a business.
As we approach the entrance my mother who already put these woman's underwear into her purse, pulls out these brand new pair of woman's underwear and screams.... "Who Panties Are These I Found in the Bed?"
The Mall management shut down my Father's Restaurant the next day. As the years went on my Father became knowns as the number 1 loser Dad in the Nevada and spent time in prison for not paying Child Support// all hoaxes all from the same Spirit I see today in the Woke.
Many can call me schizo or whatever they want. I remember this and even today I was at a place that needed their internet fixed and their paranoia and I believe the same spirit calls the police and claims I am something I am not... In the end I still fixed their Internet and told them one of the biggest things going on in the USA is this issue with having faith in other people. Heck this people today even knew I was going to be there, I think people are reporting anything as something to generate more reports on apps like the Neighborhood watch..
Essentially Gossip is a sin and that is mixed with Jealousy and greed... I don't know but I see it and nothing I can do about it but flip it off with a smile my whole life.. haha
gossip is a problem, a friend recognized it in another I wanted to date, a classmate in college, and I did walk away from her, but at that age I was shocked at how another could just be so hurtful of others. Hang in there, may God’s care & protection be with you, and here you’re taking a stand for supporting the most vulnerable, the trafficked victims of the world
Trump to hit more than 60 countries, including Canada, with new tariffs over 'forced labour'. This is a step in the right direction. And a fast way to encourage repatriating Manufacturing back into the Nation. As well as pulling up the living wage around the World.

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.
Amen! 🙌

The US has reaffirmed “the sovereignty and territorial integrity” of Somalia, in a move seen as a blow to Somaliland, the breakaway region recently recognized by Israel and close to the United Arab Emirates. In a report to Congress on “Potential Areas for Improved United States Engagement with Somaliland”, the US State Department stated that Somaliland was included in the Federal Republic of Somalia.
Gee. I miss the days when we could actually downvote things. This sort of platform structure is just way too insipid.
A board being overwhelmed by shills (PDW?) is not a good enough reason to neuter the board function and make everything .... 'safe'.
There's real crap out there, and we cannot even downvote it. Sheeesh.
Turn community styling on?
I can down voat posts here.
Or am I misunderstanding?
Yep.
With community styling off, you can access the downvote button for posts. And, for comments, the downvote button is on anyway, with community styling on or off.
But....
A while back the .win platform operators/managers/programmers disabled all the downvote functions.
So you can downvote a post, or a comment, but the downvote ....doesn't stick. It doesn't show.
20 people could downvote a comment with 3 upvotes, and the board will simply show "3 upvotes". And a "0" for any downvotes.
You might be able to see whether you yourself have given a downvote to a comment by the color of the button, and in the moment, your downvote will register but.... refresh, or navigate away and come back, and .... presto! It's gone.
Never existed. Never registered. Never reflected in the actual vote count. Hmmm... Kind of like the elections in California.....
But the result is this: NONE of the posts OR comments on greatawakening.win show ANY of the actual down votes that anyone makes. It's ALL only upvotes. Like some really perverse dystopian Logan's Run world, where its only positives until.... Carousel.
Thus, sadly, our GA.win has become rather insipid. And, probably people simply have stopped bothering to do downvotes. I know I have. Even if the comment is dumb or dysfunctional. Either you rebut by your own comment, or nothing. Cannot register how bad you think a post or comment is.
Frankly, I find this hyper annoying. A very sad trade-off that the Powers that Be apparently made because PDW was being brigaded and massively downvoted by an army of shills a while back.
end.

I wish Eric Daughertys tweets weren't spammed here all day
Why?
Because it's not thought provoking and he exaggerates everything for Internet points. It's one thing to share someone's tweets if they're impactful or provoke good conversation, but his serve no purpose and gets spammed 10+ times per day. If I cared what he said, I'd just follow him on X.
Not everything needs to be thought provoking and we have no idea what motivates people who post whatever they post on the Internet. His tweets serve as a good way to summarize things as they happen and you will be surprised how many people don't use X and how many of those who do still prefer to catch it here and discuss it with fellow Anons here.
Holy shizzles! They appear and reappear like ads for unpronounceable drugs with tiny print side effects!
But seriously, if they're by one (or two) posters, you can hit the "block" button and they'll all disappear. If you miss them later on (yeah, right), you can toggle them back on.
A Severe to Extreme Geo-Magnetic Solar Storm is Coming
Really crazy stuff. Stunning solar flare images. And they're headed our way...
:edit-> Predicting space weather is hard.
Some frens know.
Earth is like a meat ball floating in soup.
Here comes the seasoning.
As someone who is sensitive to energetic influences, I can tell you I have been able to feel this one coming in. Ground yourself, and care for yourselves, it affects mankind more than most realize.
The last one a few weeks ago had no effect as the storm itself had a negative charge while the Earths magnetosphere has a positive charge.
maybe aurora borealis at lower latitudes
