Most women, anywhere in the world, want a guy with a nice home who can afford to go to nice restaurants, maybe pay for children, etc. Some women in Thailand are poor and need someone with money or a reasonable income. Other women are not poor and maybe they have a decent income. But they still want a guy who has some money because life with money is more fun than life without it. And Pattaya is not Thailand. Pattaya is a big exception which has little to do with the rest of Thailand. If you want a real relationship then you shouldn't look in the biggest open-air brothel in this world.

I bought this one about 2 years ago. I like it. Mitsubishi Electric - MR-LX60ES https://www.mitsubishi-kyw.co.th/Product/For-Home/Refrigerator/4-Door/918-(1).aspx?lang=EN

At least there is some good about Trump. DEI was always a stupid idea. Unfortunately, Trump had to win the election before some people realized that they should not follow that stupid DEI.

There was a time when they thought they could have friendly relations with the USA as partners. That would be nice for everybody, or not? But then Americans voted for Busch, and Busch again. And then for Trump and Trump again. There is not much hope for friendship with a county with such a leader.

I have almost no family and I don't miss a family. I have a sister in another country. We have no problems with each other, but we live totally different lives. A message or two every couple of months is all the contact we have. And about Christmas, etc. I avoid any special lunch or dinner or whatever events on those days. It's a day like any other day. If someone wants to celebrate it in company of people, I am sure he can go to church somewhere. Personally, I am just fine without Christmas and family.

And not just a promise. Some guys think they can promise a lot and then don't deliver. Big mistake!

0.5 degree warmer since the last fire, or how much?

I like this look:

The movie is from 2006, and it was supposed to be about the future in 500 years. It seems it didn't even take 50 years...

I would welcome if the streets and sidewalks would be better in Thailand. But by now I am so used to it that I walk carefully and expect potholes in the streets. On my last visit "back home" the street quality was mostly good. But speed limits were often reduced to 30km/h. I understand that those limits are ok for little side streets with playing children. But on larger streets which everybody uses to get into the city center it's just annoying.

I am sure many countries in Europe will realize more and more that they should be more independent from the USA.

Is that bad? Because many of us just get used to the way things are here. Obviously, we could complain that this and that is better back home. But then, if we would like it so much back home, then we would live there and not here. There are always compromises.

The question is obviously what's the alternative. Recently I was "back home". In theory the living standards are better and there is law enforcement and many other good things. But do I want to live there permanently? No! And when I am old, I don't think I want to start all over in a place where I never lived before.

Wait for low season... Obviously, there are some girls who know they can get customers all the time, so they can tell some guys that she does not want to go with them. But it seems many of them have no such standards. I guess it depends on how smelly those guys are and how desperate the specific girl is.

No Thailand without girls with miniskirts would not really be Thailand anymore. 😉

Really? I am pretty sure there is no legal way to put him back to prison where he belongs. Maybe other people will be punished, but Thaksin got away with his crimes - as usual.

There is not even shade, because without sun there is no shade. Apart from that, you get the idea and if you like, use it for 7am.

That is not necessary when there was no catastrophe. In Germany nuclear reactors are part by part dismantled. It is obviously still expensive but different from what you describe.

There is a difference in how much they get involved. How many American billionaires declared in public that they will give big money to foreign opposition parties? How many American billionaires told people in public to remove their current leaders and vote for radicals? Musk is smart, but somehow, he thinks he knows everything about anything. He doesn't!

But that doesn't mean that Trump and Musk care about such little details. 😉

She is the only pretty girl in that picture.

Maybe ask people in Greenland and Panama about that one.

Now is it new that it's hot in Italy in summer?

I think many climate activists can blame themselves for what you describe. I.e. with the current fires in LA lots of people blame climate change. But is that really the reason? Would there be no fires without climate change? Were there no fires in the same region decades ago? Personally, I am not denying that climate change exists in principle. But blaming every flood and hurricane and fire on climate change as if they didn't exist before is a little lame and unproductive.

I would implement certain criteria for politicians. I.e. if they are constantly deliberately lying, then out! And I would implement criteria for voters. If they are too stupid, uninformed and ignorant then they should have no right to vote. Obviously, it would be very difficult to implement any of this. But it seems to be necessary. Otherwise especially American idiots will continue to vote for the biggest idiot who wants that job.
