  1. Top psychologist in the world agrees. He has warned people about Trump for years.
  2. Thai's weaponize language. They don't speak English because this gives then power over Aliens. You will often be surprised that many Thai's can infact speak English but choose not to. Passive-aggressive language is a form of indirect communication that expresses negative feelings, anger, or resistance without openly addressing them. This "weaponized" language is a manipulative tactic designed to avoid direct conflict while still making the aggressor's displeasure known, often leaving the recipient feeling confused or guilty
  3. Disgusting corrupt country.
  4. I've seen a few train wrecks recently will old guys losing their marbles. You need to consider something that are very important if you want to keep living smoothly in SE Asia. 1) You need TWO bank accounts from different banks at least one in the first world. You need TWO visa or mastercard credit cards. 2) You need a check your online account regularly. You need to have a computer, laptop or good phone and keep up to date with pensions and taxes. 3) May need a virtual number like with callcentric. You can send and receive SMS, make calls take calls etc. To verify your banking. You can get a western phone$ for 3$ a month. 4) You need to think about your healthy. If your mental health is going, your memory etc. Age 65-90 You need to slowdown and find place to stay for a longer period of time or go home. I've seen a number of people end up homeless and deported recently because they forgot their pin code and could not contract anyone.
  5. The masochist has been taught from an early age to hate herself and to consider herself unworthy of love and worthless as a person. Consequently, s/he is prone to self-destructive, punishing and self-defeating behaviors. Though capable of pleasure and possessed of social skills, the masochist avoids or undermines pleasurable experiences. She does not admit to enjoying herself. She seeks suffering, pain and hurt in relationships and situations. She rejects help and resents people who offer help. She actively renders futile attempts to assist or ameliorate or mitigate or even solve their problems and predicaments. And these self-penalizing behaviors are also self-purging. They tend to relieve the masochist with overwhelming pent-up anxiety. They are cathartic. Masochist conduct is equally aimed at avoiding intimacy and its benefits, companionship and support, as it is at punishing herself. And so masochists tend to choose people and circumstances that inevitably and predictably lead to failure, misdelusionment, disappointment and mistreatment. Contrary to this, they tend to avoid relationships, interactions and circumstances and people that are likely to result in success or gratification. They reject, disdain or even suspect people who consistently treat them well. Masochist find caring, loving people sexually unattractive. The masochist typically adopts unrealistic goals and this way she generates underachievements, inevitably. Masochist routinely fail at mundane tasks, even when these tasks are crucial to their own advancement and personal objectives. And even when they adequately carry out identical assignments on behalf of others.
  6. Now they just have to ban preservatives from Thai beer and it will be much healthier like Cambodia beer. Cambodian sell it cheap, so they sell more, hence no need to put some strange chemical in it.
  7. It maybe too difficult for many people to change. They don't know where to start. Start by purifying your body and renouncing. Start with COFFEE! https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3621334/
  8. The key social transitioning. You need to develop a life and personality that is busy doing thing that do not involve alcohol. You need a new personality state, the alcoholic personality state may come back but you need to avoid triggers. Go out to bars in Bangkok maybe a trigger. Learn tennis for example. Study Buddhism. Religion is what AA is selling you, it may work too.
  9. I use Western Union or Money Gram that my bank offers for no fees. Just send the money to my self. It is cheaper than ATM fees, better rates, takes some time at the bank to get the money but take out a large sum, it is worth it.
  10. Westerners shouldn't live in Thailand. If you must you should live 1) In a bubble with other farangs. 2) In a bubble with your family from the west.
  11. There is no drug or surgery that will change someones 'sex.' Gender is performative, it is defined by society, by your own idea of what it means to be a male or female. Change your own mind, not your body. Don't define yourself based on what other think, look within. Taking drugs or surgery are dangerous and harmful, please avoid.
