The Phantom Time Hypothesis – Are We Really in the Year 2025?
wwest5829 replied to CharlieH's topic in Off the beaten track
Wait, what? Does that apply to those of us who recognize the year as 2568? -
Been here 13 years. No denying the air pollution. Today difficult to see Doi Suthep from Airport Mall. But generally, I am moving from air conditioned closed home to air conditioned closed car to air conditioned closed Mall so the smog months do not bother too much. Couple of years month long smog breaks in Samui or USA. Would travel more but I am an economic refugee retired from the U.S. ( anyone can donated half a million usd and have rightful claim to making me a millionaire!)

Fortunately, here in Chiang Mai, I go to the drive-up widow, hand in the form and Passport. Computer update, stamped form and Passport handed back to me. Done and dusted.

Michigan State Rep sterilized herself to protest Trump
wwest5829 replied to connda's topic in Off the beaten track
Brilliant thinking. Much better to encourage having many children (go forth and multiply). More poverty (don’t care … are there no workhouses, no prisons?). It would cost more for social services but as we are stopping all that burden on the taxpayers … we don’t care. -
Hmm, wonder if the ratio of those croaking while in the missionary position (male above) versus the cowgirl position has ever been studied …

Minimum insurance coverage Non OA extension
wwest5829 replied to sghanchey's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
True that the O-A I entered on became untenable as an aging heart patient for insurance requirement reason. Fortunately, two years ago I was able to switch in country, to marriage reason for O Visa = no insurance required. Today I pick up my third marriage extension in Chiang Mai. I use monthly income method so lots of paper pages to sign! -
Rubio: Trump is serious about buying Greenland
wwest5829 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Oh, I maintain a realistic balance. Billions of souls in the world, I have no need to “get over it”. Water off a duck’s back, I just move along … -

wwest5829 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Sorry, you do not know me, otherwise you would note sarcasm. Suggest you leave off the derogatory “buttercup”. Unproductive … it is, at times very difficult for me but attacking folks personally does not encourage civil discussion. -
Beautician from Thailand battles British heirs for £400k inheritance

In her name. Never mind additional funds, the house remains hers. -

Shades of TR takeover of Panama Canal interests from Columbia? -

As an American, I agree. As Republicans are opposed to increasing taxation on the wealthy and a larger national debt, I guess Trump will finance this through his newly minted coins? -
How about we just check the deviation offered by Britannica? “left, in politics, the portion of the political spectrumassociated in general with egalitarianism and popular or state control of the major institutions of political and economic life. The term dates from the 1790s, when in the French revolutionary parliament the socialist representatives sat to the presiding officer’s left. Leftists tend to be hostile to the interests of traditional elites, including the wealthy and members of the aristocracy, and to favour the interests of the working class (see proletariat). They tend to regard social welfare as the most important goal of government. Socialism is the standard leftist ideology in most countries of the world; communism is a more radical leftist ideology.”

Yes, discriminatory in the recognition that a correction to the American reality was needed. I am certainly open to, in fact, welcome a review of all law/regulations in a logical manner. What I oppose is an arbitrary and capricious dismissal without that logic applied first. There is a reason a law/regulation is implemented to address a recognized issue. So, I would look at what was that issue? Has the law/regulation effectively dealt with the issue? If not, does it need “tweaking”, supplemental amending or a new law/regulation? If the original need is no longer present or if the original law/regulation is not needed … then end it. Is there no need for diversity, equity, inclusion in the USA? Reflecting on my experience, I am hearing that there is not enough diversity, equity and inclusion in academics … that more conservative voices are needed?
