London mayor urges Labour to commit to future EU membership

webfact · Thursday at 04:02 AM1 day

Sadiq Khan has called on the Labour Party to adopt a clear pledge to rejoin the European Union ahead of the next UK general election, intensifying debate over Britain’s long-term relationship with the bloc. In remarks that diverge from the current government line, the London mayor said rejoining the EU was ultimately “inevitable” and argued that steps towards closer economic integration should begin before voters next go to the polls.

Kill or be killed, that is the question

unblocktheplanet · Thursday at 06:59 AM1 day

Death is always untimely. All of us have had the experience of losing people. Family, loved ones, partners, lovers, friends, colleagues. Accidents, disease, suicide, even murder. Every single one of them leaves a hole in our personal universe. Our world will never be the same, a jigsaw puzzle with a few pieces missing. The picture will never be the same again. Think about the grief of those families whose sons were killed in wars. Sometimes those devastated families who even encouraged their s

Can Thailand stay an expat favourite under these new rules?
Can Thailand stay an expat favourite under these new rules?

CharlieH · 21 hours ago21 hr

Thailand secured fourth place in the InterNations Expat Insider survey for 2025, its strongest performance yet, cementing its status as one of the world's most attractive destinations for expats and foreign residents. During this same window, however, the country introduced tax reforms, increased living expenses, and closed loopholes that many informal long-stayers had relied upon for years. The country hasn't deteriorated as a place to live; rather, it has arguably evolved into a more discernin

Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?

GammaGlobulin · Wednesday at 02:34 AM2 days

Dear Folks, I have, for many years, been so envious of the beauty of the British Passport. It is far more lovely than my own. For example: If you could buy one, which one would you buy? Alternatively, out of all countries on Planet Earth, which country has... \The most beautiful passport.... Aesthetically speaking, of course. How much would you pay for one of these, by the way?

Pros and Cons of Screen Obsession Culture in Thailand
Pros and Cons of Screen Obsession Culture in Thailand

123Stodg · Thursday at 10:03 PM1 day

For a long time I have thought about the ways Thailand has changed since the rise of smartphones, back when people were not constantly nose diving into their screens. When I first arrived, smartphones did not even exist. My first phone was a big clunky Nokia with a black and white screen and a bendy retractable antenna. Then came the race to make phones smaller, with those tiny little Motorola flip phones everywhere. Nokia and Ericsson were still popular, although not quite as compact. Then the

Price of sleeping tablets
Price of sleeping tablets

CallumWK · Tuesday at 06:03 AM3 days

For a long time already I suffer from sleeping disorders, as in I wake up many times a night, and actually never have a solid sleep. I have tried natural sleeping aids like 12mg Melatonin, but they don't have any effect. Sleeping tablets like Diazepam work perfect, and I sleep until the alarm goes off, as intended. I have no side effects from them. I had 8 tablets of them left, which actually were expired for 15 YEARS already, and I have taken them with good results in the last 6 months. So now

Did you know - How your walk can signal your mood

CharlieH · Wednesday at 12:47 AM3 days

The way people walk may reveal more about their emotions than previously understood, according to new research that highlights how subtle changes in movement can signal how someone is feeling. Scientists found that the swing of a person’s arms and legs plays a key role in how others interpret their emotional state, with observers able to detect feelings such as anger, sadness and fear from walking patterns alone. Movement as emotional expression The study suggests that walking — a routine and la

Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution
Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution

ronnie50 · Monday at 03:42 AM4 days

By and large medical care at Thailand's private hospitals is pretty good. But one thing I've observed through the years of visiting doctors in big private hospitals here is that many/most are not very thorough in asking questions about the patient's medical history. They are often quick to arrive at a current diagnosis, write a prescription, and a return appointment again in 2 weeks. When I say 'not very thorough' - I mean they don't ask you (enough) about your medical past or any other medica
