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've been doing some intensive arguing with people on Facebook lately
It's really sad how even now actual people believe the Trump administration is the most corrupt admin ever
Do they not remember OBAMA? BUSH JR? CLINTON? BUSH SR?.
I still don't get what Trump does that is corrupt but whatever he may do is not even close to what past presidents have done to this country
My sister in law can’t stand him. I don’t get it. To be fair to the unawake, they only know what msm tells them. I can’t imagine being that brainwashed. I was snowed with Bush Jr, thought he was amazing. I never liked Clinton or Obama. What’s sad is most people I know are Christian’s and don’t support Trump.
They're brainwashed by FNM.
And the evil renegade is still the messiah for many of them. Probably why his experienced swimmer chef drowned in shallow water, but Barry just walks on water.

Prayers for anon u/Bigcentexisback as he's heading into surgery tomorrow (assuming the schedule hasn't changed).
God, please guide the hands and hearts of the surgeon and all healthcare professionals involved in the anon's procedure and recovery to provide the utmost skill and care for him. Lord, we ask that You protect and heal this anon as he moves forward from here, that You strengthen the anon's family and friends as they help him through his recovery. In Almighty Jesus' name. 🙏✝️

Fossil Crocodile Shows Clever Design BY JONATHAN K. CORRADO, PH.D., P. E.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2026
https://www.icr.org/article/fossil-croc-shows-clever-design/
Some discoveries stand out, not because they change the story of evolution, but because they show clear design from the start. That is what happened when scientists found a new crocodile-like fossil in Egypt’s Western Desert called Wadisuchus kassabi. At first it may look like another ancient reptile, but a closer look shows something more exciting—a creature built from the start for life in the water, not a half-formed step in a long chain of changes. Its features point to a body plan that was already complete and ready for its environment.
Research shows that Wadisuchus was about 3.5 to 4 meters long.1 It had a long, narrow snout that helped minimize friction and resistance as it moved through the water, almost like a natural spear cutting through the surface. And its sharp, pointed teeth were perfect for catching fish and turtles. Nostrils on top of the snout made breathing possible while most of the body stayed under water. These individual traits form a complete design; they aren’t random or faulty pieces waiting to become something else. Modern crocodiles have the same clever structure, demonstrating that this layout works well across time and habitat.
An interesting way in which crocodiles today are different from Wadisuchus is that many crocodyliforms have five teeth at the front of their snouts, but Wadisuchus has four. This small difference may have allowed it to grip certain prey more easily.1 Instead of looking like a tooth pattern in transition, the fossil shows an anatomy that fits the reptile’s needs and lifestyle. The more we study the bones, the more we see a set of traits that work together—like parts of a well-designed tool, each with a purpose.
Scientists also found fossils from adolescent and adult animals, which enabled them to compare how the creature grew.1 Even with this range of ages, the same overall design is consistent from juvenile to adult. Creation researchers point out that this matches the Bible’s record of created kinds—organisms that can vary in small ways but do not turn into completely new forms over time.2 This also fits what we see in the fossil record: many creatures appear suddenly and remain stable (stasis), without long chains of slow change.3 Wadisuchus is one more example of this pattern.
The place where the fossil was found—layers from ancient coastal or wetland areas—also supports a creation perspective. In such areas, sudden flooding could cover animals quickly and protect their remains. Rapid burial is needed for fossils to form at all, and Flood-based geology explains why so many fossils, including those of Wadisuchus, are found in water-laid sediments around the world.2 Creation researchers also explain how global flooding could create the distribution of fossils we see today, spreading animals into different layers as water rose and moved across the land.4
Looking at all of its details together, Wadisuchus kassabi points not to evolution but to intentional design—the snout, teeth, nostrils, and body shape all work as a single system built for life in shallow water. Nothing in the fossil looks unfinished. Instead, every part is purposeful. This creature joins many others that appear in the fossil record as complete and well equipped from the beginning. Its design reflects the skill of the Creator, whose wisdom can be seen in every living kind.

In California elections, they don’t require an ID to vote, they don’t even ask which province of Mexico they’re from.
yet if you are not a parent, you have to give a social security # to the motor vehicles department so you can ID yourself, so they can hunt you down if you owe child support - how many “other peoples’s SSNs have been hijacked in California by foreigners? 5 million? 10 million?
