Thailand in Top 50 in 2024 Happiness Report
I looked in the mirror and see a few but still don't get how trashing a Thia's geography knowledge has anything to do with happiness. That was why I asked what was your point. Might be missing the obvious - so again, your point? I didn't read the whole thread so might have missed something. No big deal - march on...

Global Increase in Penile Cancer and Penile Amputation Cases
No, but men with larger than 6 inches have a much larger chance of erectile dysfunction as they age. It gets exponentially worse with each inch in length over 6 upon reaching your 60th year.

I've read some of your other posts in the past. You have had a good life.

What will you do if he gets elected? Do you hate those that will vote for him? Just wondering and find your type interesting.

Thailand in Top 50 in 2024 Happiness Report
Your point? If your not so wise ex that you married could point to Thailand would she be happier. At least you seem happy to look down on others which says something about your character.

What is a low fat Thai dish?
I add at least 3 teaspoons throughout the day to my water. It amazes me how most don't need extra salt here in the heat. If I take it with a bite of a banana I retain much less water than if i drink plain water. Form your avatar I deduce you are a lifter which I was also before the gyms closed during Covid. I bet most serious lifters don't need extra salt unless doing lots of cardio. Now live in a place without gyms and do body weight exercises. Really miss the atmosphere and the muscle loss!

I wonder if they sell decaf at 7 Eleven (no big stores here). Might give it a try. Not to brag but I will. My health is incredibly good but the caffein does wreck my naps after exercising more times than not. It is the ritual I think and the caffein is a non factor. I don't think I have ever been without caffein for at least 30 years.

Second Day Off Weed
I get you now and your earlier post. I was "trying" to clarify my situation. My locality is challenging but I like being alone most of the time. I like myself too much I think 🙂 I do wish for the first time in my life that I had more friends which is a challenge. Life isn't perfect and I do my best to live a satisfying existence in a beautiful place with the perfect partner. I would lie if I claimed I haven't thought about moving back into a city but that comes with other complications ( what to do with all our pets!). Chasing a destination I don't think is the best path in most situations. I could improve on my social life by trying harder to reach out and also learn more Thai. Hard to do when considering I'm arguably in the best situation I have been in a LONG time. I could also learn to be more humble which would allow me to get back into the good graces of certain groups I compete in. Think I have given the impression that I'm better than the members of these groups. That is a social skill that I need to work on. My weed usage is just a tiny part of a big picture.

Yep, but hopefully better data will come out over the next decade. Be ironic if THC ends up being just as bad. My bet is that it isn't but who knows at this point. Can't remember writing what you replied to. Maybe my clarity hasn't improved the last few days 🙂 My parents have lived an incredible life(85 yo) and they are alcoholics and so are most their friends. Not day time drinkers( except during events) but they can put it down at night ( over the last 5 years the quantity has dropped but they get just as tipsy). It is odd how many attach drug use to a destructive unpleasant life as if it is a sure thing. Irresponsible drug use is not good and if you can't at least draw a vague line that is rarely crossed over, it usually ends poorly.

Sorry, but that was a strange post. You know little about me and made some grand assumptions. Hey - whatever floats your boat and I myself, in weird moments, do the same. The first paragraph is good 🙂 but it seems like you became a "know it all" in the preceding paragraphs. BTW, I'm not making excuses as you stated and just casually making an observation about my last few days. Nothing deep or scientific and, to be honest, you sound quite judgmental. Probably wasn't your intention but reread your post. I'm fine with weed and also OK with alcohol users. I definately don't feel the need to tell people what they should and shouldn't do. Nor do I have a firm grasp why habits change as you seem to know without a doubt. Cool that you can be so productive but I am not. How did you go from that first paragraph that was pleasant to typing the rest? We aren't the same and that is OK?

Second Day Off Weed
It is different but I think i enjoy life even more here than in cities. As stated previously, it isn't a really a being bored issue. I feel more out of touch and motivated of late. In the end, I have many options and can adjust if location is the issue. We have other homes in cities. I think I lack communication skills! Sorry, I was just making a casual post and was initially confused how people thought I was trashing weed users. Not the case at all. I'm taking a break to see if I start experiencing more of the things I find inconsequential the last few months. Might be weed or just the cycle of life.

That is great and assume you have lived a satisfying life so far. Do you drink alcohol? If so, is that better? I don't judge drug users whether it be alcohol or whatever. People make their own decisions and who am I to judge. IMO, Alcohol doesn't impact my motivation nor my awareness of my surroundings as much as weed does throughout the day. If you drink all day, I guess that would also cause awareness issues but never been a daytime drinker. Weed is healthier and provides a smoother high. Rarely (I have never seen)do you see violent stoned people later at night. Weed's mental issues creep up on you while alcohol isn't discreet. I feel as if i offend weed smokers here when I mention "my" issues with it. Has many benefits and some enjoy not being alert as they have stated above. Some others are alert while high and just like the feeling. I myself felt as if I was losing touch with the little things I do all day that are really important to me. This wasn't always the case but the last few months I really wasn't experiencing as much of the beauty around me each day. Might not be caused by something else but taking a break might help. I'm fortunate to be where I am at in life and don't want to risk falling into the rut where I become judgmental and less satisfied. Turbulence is a part of life but getting stuck in a valley for years on end like many here on Asean Now is not a life I want. Long answer - 555. Hope you are enjoying your 76th.

Recommend a computer I can order from Lazada.
But can you use your PC to search and read reviews? I can only use my phone or tablet but the reviews are in Thai and can't be translated within the app. I can get into Lazada and after one or two searches the search bar disappears when using my PC. I sent many inquiries and never heard back. My laptop has the same issues. Frustrating and obviously they don't want people using a PC. There website is terrible and constantly give me "high traffic -comeback later messages". Frustrating and used them all the time pre 2020 but gave up 4 years ago.

20 years ago someone on this forum use the "OK" response on me for the first time. In the right context it is the perfect response. The other party is clueless how to respond. I was being a fool and it caused me to reflect. GG isn't the type that reflects so it will accomplish nothing but maybe...

Why did you drop weed? I'm thinking my pause will be short lived but I'm feeling great. Do you drink?

Tik Tok vs Facebook
Best of luck and agree 100%. I'm sure some can master getting more out the internet than it detracts from the quality of life but I struggle with finding the right mix.

Second Day Off Weed
That I could do if I had my bikes repaired. Terrible accident(one of many) in 2016 and promised myself no more. Talked to some cyclists yesterday and might take my bikes into a shop. I do everything much slower when high so that might actually be a good thing. I was thinking indoor on Zwift would be fun also. Hard objects seem to always seem to get in my path while at high speeds.

and it takes a while to get back to where it is not so great. Basically why I decided to pause/quit.

Already stated I assumed I would. I'm not a heavy user and just needed a pause. When would have been a good time to post. It was not a dramatic post and simply a casual post.

I know - pretty pathetic but I know I don't owe(big losses in 2020). Still a good idea to file because filing takes much longer because you usually have to send paper vs electronically filing.

The Upcoming Presidential Debate
I spend very little time on forums but every few months I get the itch then after a month or two feel compelled to disconnect from the hate. The herd only insults and never contemplates. They are the first to insult others intelligence while not grasping there own vile hate. It is entertaining to look upon the self determined righteous act like a five year old that didn't get the popsicle. Trump like them, to a lesser extent, is challenging to say the least but the haters are evil inconsequential jerks that just aim to hurt and obviously get great pleasure from it. Funny and weak posters but entertaining for a while to get a laugh at their expense

Second Day Off Weed
Makes sense and probably am trying to justify without knowing that is what I'm doing. I'll give it some thought. As for the woman you mentioned, she is enjoying the ritual as much as the high IMO. Not my personality type (fine wine type). I respect this ritual but just isn't in me. Simpleton when it comes to drugs.

The Upcoming Presidential Debate
You rub people the wrong way and I enjoy your posts. Don't agree with many posts you make but you are authentic which many of the above are not. They will follow the herd wherever it wanders and ironically point out the other side doing the same. Some are vile haters that make trump look like an angel - hilarious. I find these topics extremely entertaining. Watching mentally challenged individuals pat each others backs and scream over anyone that disagrees. Kind of like Trump 🙂
