A Free $1,000 To Blow on Subscription Services, How Would You Do It?
A Free $1,000 To Blow on Subscription Services, How Would You Do It?

123Stodg · 20 hours ago20 hr

If someone handed you a free $1000 and said you could only spend it on online subscription services for the next year, how would you use it? There are so many options now across streaming, AI tools, news, productivity, and creative software that it’s easy to lose track of what actually adds value. I’m curious what people here consider “worth it” versus what feels optional or overrated. Here’s how I’d probably allocate mine: | Adobe Photoshop | Visual Design & Editing | ~$240 | | The Econo

Nationalism or Onanism: Which does us more harm?
Nationalism or Onanism: Which does us more harm?

GammaGlobulin · 12 hours ago12 hr

Dear Folks, When we are very young, Society teaches us that: Nationalism is Good. Onanism is Bad. . We are told that saluting the flag is good. But, conflictingly, proper respect for one’s flagpole is somehow bad. In some societies, Nationalism is even glorified. Need we mention any names? So, during this particularly stressful period, when we are about to enter WW3, or indeed… Have probably already begun WW3… Which is more harmful to our world? Nationalism Onanism Capitalism Communi

Be honest,was it the traditional values that drew you to a Thai woman

Conan The Barbarian · Tuesday at 12:37 AM2 days

Not talking about the obvious stuff that brings most of us here initially. I mean the longer term decision to actually settle down with a Thai woman specifically. Looking back I think the relationship dynamic played a bigger part in my choice than I ever admitted at the time. The roles are just... clear. He provides, she takes care of the home and family. No blurred lines, no competition for the same space, no ongoing negotiation about who does what and why or whose in charge! That model large

Finally getting serious about learning Thai — where to start
Finally getting serious about learning Thai — where to start

MikeWill · Monday at 03:20 AM3 days

Been here a few years now, married to a Thai, living outside a city with no expat bubble to fall back on. My Thai is embarrassing. Point at things, smile, hope for the best. I'm done with that. The problem is every time I try to figure out where to start, I get pulled in different directions. Some people say learn to read first — that the script teaches you the correct tones and stops you developing bad habits from romanised phonetics. Others say just get out there and speak, mistakes and all,

Americans in Thailand- How are you using Medicare ?

MikeWill · Tuesday at 08:36 AM2 days

OK so I've been going round in circles on this for weeks and my head is spinning. I turn 65 in a few months and the Medicare question is driving me mad. Everyone back home assumes you just sign up and that's it sorted. Nobody tells you it's basically useless if you're living outside the US — Thailand included. Found that out the hard way after spending an afternoon on the phone with Social Security. So now I'm stuck with the Part B decision. Pay the premiums every month for coverage I can't act

BNH Hospital shares a modern treatment for frequent urination

CharlieH · Tuesday at 07:40 AM2 days

Many men initially assume Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a natural consequence of getting older (e.g. waking up during the night to urinate or needing the bathroom more frequently). However, in many cases, BPH progressively becomes far more disruptive than anticipated. Constant urination can result in serious sleep deprivation, leaving patients fatigued throughout the day. Some men begin avoiding travel, meetings, or social gatherings because they worry about not finding a restroom quickl
