    noun
    1. websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking. Social media is made up of websites, apps, and other platforms that allow users to share information and ideas with virtual communities through text, photos, videos, and more.

     

    From here:

    Is an internet forum considered to be part of social media

    "An internet forum is generally considered to be a part of social media, though opinions on this classification can vary."

     

    Similar, but not same.

    If he is that bad but won, it doesn't say much for the opposition does it.

    That is obviously another problem.

    But then, America is the best democracy money can buy. For both parties and almost all of their politicians.

    Why do you think Trump act this way

    Trump would love to be just like Putin.

    But he can't, because of that thing with the democracy and all that. 

    Trump is obviously doing his best to imitate Putin. I guess the best he can do is giving Putin all he wants and then Putin will tell the world what a great guy Trump is. And Trump will be happy that his superior talks nice about him.

     

    Or in short: How f#@#@ed up is this world we are living in?

    The fact that people still use social media is mind boggling to me.

    Why would you give up any kind of privacy so the platforms can make a lot of money?

    But privacy doesn't seams to part of the deal now :crying:

     

    It's funny, I recently saw a video from an American relatively young guy who lives now in Thailand.

    He said when he meets women, obviously online, they don't have to write much about themselves. He just looks at their Insta history to know everything about them. And he said if that Insta history is only a year old or so, that is suspicious.

    I guess that is the new world for many young people. If you don't have ton of pictures and videos of you online, then you kind of don't exist. Sad.

    Yes of course it's very easy, how did I not think of that before? A work permit.  It's jus ta piece of cake

    My comment was a reply to "Each and every day, Thailand is looking like a bad place to work or retire....."

     

    If you work, obviously legally with work permit, it's no problem.

    If people work illegally then they should be surprised that there are problems.

    If you can explain how every muslim in Europe can be trusted not to flip his fundamentalist switch like the one in Munich did, then please do so.    

     

    Change "Muslim" to "person" and that sums it up. There are always some people who seemed to be harmless to everybody around them and then suddenly they do crazy things. That happens in all countries, religions, male, female, whatever. It's just a fact of life.

    Deflection whataboutery once again from you, it seems to be your only modus operandi whenever you cannot respond with a rational answer.

     

    Below, is the rest of my comment that you shortened in order to try and change the subject completely from my comment; so now respond to the rest of my comment, and if you think after the terrorist attack in Munich, it is fine to accept all muslim immigrants into Europe, without questioning their potential for terrorism, please explain why … thanks   

     

    “All the left wing liberals on this forum and elsewhere, have been telling us that he was fully integrated into German society; working, no criminal record, western clothes, gym membership, nice cars, the perfect citizen.

     

    Then one day, his fundamentalism bursts through his carefully contrived facade, and he decides to try and kill as many innocent infidels as he can.

     

    And all we hear from the left is that he had mental health problems; don’t demonise them all because of him; but he has unequivocally proven that none of them can be trusted, because you never know when a ‘fully integrated’ muslim will suddenly flip his fundamental switch”

     

    Why should I respond to the rest of your statement when it starts with garbage?

    Maybe think twice before you start typing. And if you don't know what you write about then don't do it.

    Thosbare not domestic issues, , Social security is and it doesn't effect non Americans , neither does DOGE auditing Goverment spending ..

    Just read the very post in this thread. It's about nuclear weapons.

    Now, does the USA have these weapons to use them within their country? Then it would be a domestic issue.

    But that is not the idea about those deadly weapons. That should be obvious, but it seems you don't understand it. Sad.

    why they feel the need to stars threads about American domestic politics is beyond me

    Because often American politics impacts the whole word. Not just the nukes, also Ukraine, Gaza, and many other issues.

    It would be great if Americans would live over there and just built a big wall around themselves. Unfortunately, they don't do that.

    You ever taken a really fat person on the bike?

    No, my bike is restricted to me and cute girls. And because my gf wouldn't be happy if I take other cute girls for a ride that means my bike is restricted to me riding and her sometimes on the back.

    The whole family can be transported in the flat bed

    I have to admit I would never do that. The same as I wouldn't have more than 2 people on a bike.

    It's too dangerous and I wouldn't want to be responsible for any injuries or worse in case of an accident.

    ... but in all seriousness.. he mentioned 'he sometimes uses a taxi because he wants to transport something heavy'.... I'm assuming cases of beer etc, rather than a sofa !

     

    Heavy in this context for me is anything which does not fit in a backpack or is too heavy for a packpack.

    On a bike I manage a 5kg bag of rice. That is about as big I accept on my bike.
