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.

We have the pro IPO take from several months ago: https://greatawakening.win/p/1ARwUfXfBU/why-you-shouldd-pay-attention-to/
We have the "cool story bro" IPO take from less than a fortnight ago: https://greatawakening.win/p/1ASsiTDgXf/spacexstasy-this-ipo-is-a-trainw/
And then we have me, a humble meme farmer, tending to my Memes, and looking at the IPO and dipping my toe in. This is the balanced take on this. I don't know what spacex is gonna be like in 5 to 10 years, but the opportunity is strong with this one at a minimum. That said, it has more booms than the us navy has had against Iran when it comes to rockets going poof, so it's a split bid for me.
It's not a cheap start price at all, and I'm using the investment allowance for the month that I have on only the IPO today. If it womp-womps, it won't be great but it won't break my portfolio or savings. However, if it rockets to the moon (pun intended) then a number of minor issues in the middle to long term future might be addressed by having it in the back pocket.
I'll be keeping an eye on it closely today. If it falls low ill hold and buy more at the floor. If it immediately rockets up (doubtful the way I've seen ipos run), then I'll plan accordingly.
I've noticed the last couple of days that soccer fans coming to the World cup here have been absolutely in awe of the United States, how friendly we are, the culture, the food, etc.
This of course after years of "Get the World Cup out of the US, it's a fascist state run by an orange dictator, blah blah blah.."
Anyway, aside from the high prices of everything, its it possible having the United States on the global stage is an opportunity for us to tell the world "This is what freedom can look like if you want it that badly"? An opportunity for people to come back and tell their leaders "We experienced what America was like and we want that, not whatever bullshit you're selling"
Thoughts?
