  1. There's so much more to life than simply working. What was your first clue that simply hanging out in bars everyday, endlessly drinking, inevitable alcoholism and unmitigated hangovers without any mental stimulation would somehow be unfulfilling? Travel, read, learn,.... or just chill out, blinking and breathing taking in life everywhere around you
  2. The 100 ml limit, on both the liquid and the container, has been the standard for quite some many years now. As cosmetics are expensive, it would be rare they'd exceed this. After 9/11 gels and pastes like toothpaste were prohibited This is nothing new
  3. Peeing from a tuk tuck with hundreds of people about is not exactly the same as discreetly on the side of the road. In Singapore the tourist would have been reported, arrested, promptly caned, detained and deported
  4. Self-improvement is makinf, creating, redefining oneself to be the best version or iteration of one's self. Not in juxtaposition to others, nor to be better than others. That's purely arrogance, not self-fulfillment, wellness, nor loving kindness to one's self or others
  5. With the population of humans on earth having doubled since 1970, to now nearly 8.5 billion, I'm not seeing that procreation or propagation got "screwed up", beyond the negative impact that suoer-abundance places which environmentally constraints would normally contain
  6. Anything else you'd like to add about how the earth is flat, 9-11 was an inside job, Pizza-gate and the Apollo moon landings were staged in a Hollywood film studio? The world is waiting for your expert knowledge given your close, personal relationship with Q. Somehow, I'm sure you're convinced, George Soros is behind all of this.
  7. Far better to keep infrequent contact with a single person known to relatives rather than disappear. Families can oft go to absurd and intrusive lengths unneeded and unnecessary alerting police and embassies when the person in question simply wants to be left alone, and give space to heal away from the stress of family
  8. The picture posted along with this thread looks just like my brother (it's not), who died suddenly, unexpectedly, 12 years ago, when he had just turned 62. I say ironically, because, he never exercised, but wasn't over-weight, never smoked, nor drank alcohol excessively. And yet, after preparing a lifetime for his security and retirement, saving and investing, he was to retire, his last of work, on the Thursday, which was to be his 62nd birthday, Halloween. However, the lady in HR had recommended that he work on the Friday, which was the 1sst of the month, and that way he'd automatically be covered for the month of November on healthcare. So he did. All plans in place. Yet, on the Monday, he took a shower, followed by his wife, who a few minutes later, came out to find him slumped dead on the floor from a massive heart attack. The actions we take in our 40s, proper nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, sleep and mental engagement, along with preventative healthcare, boost our likelihood of not just long life, but health, physically and mentally. This is in no way controversial, and yet, for the vast majority, denial not only of the inevitability of death, but likelihood of infirmity and loss of independence, and the steps which can be taken to mitigate or delay that likelihood, or impact, is ignored.
  9. .... to hand-over centralize power from corporations to individual oligarchs and away from the 99% of common people, eliminating the checks and balances between the branches of government, and concentrating power in an imperial presidency, read: dictatorship, which exerts power by edict, presidential decree, not due process, and knee-caps all those who disagree or have differing opinions. That's not any definition of democracy I've every heard
  10. There are countless studies over many decades to support the conclusion that exercise supports cardiac health, reduces the risk of cardio-vascular disease, heart attack and stroke, as well as, more recently greatly reduced risk of vascular dementia, and combined with proper sleep and nutrition, Alzheimer's. It's NOT rocket science; ASEAN NOW is NOT a scientific forum, nor Facebook comments or any other banal social media. If you're actually interested in the subject, do your own research. Start with Google and move onto Google Scholar to delve in-depth into the original published studies. For vascular dementia start with the research being conducted by Dean Sherzai and Ayesha Sherzai neurologists, researchers, and codirectors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles I've done my research, and continue to actively. You do yours, that's on you. From there it's all about actually taking action to integrate these findings into a healthy lifestyle. The point has been made, the evidence is profound, degenerative diseases like cardiovascular disease and dementia establish over decades. The actions one takes in one's 40's will in large measure determine one's physical and mental fitness in one's 60s 70s and beyond.
  11. "If sence were common...." Yes, we knew it, but such studies provide further support and justification to hopefully shake off blatant denial, accept fact-based truth, and begin to exercise, eat properly, actively challenge our minds and build health and wellness now, greatly reducing the liklihood of infirmity and dementia in years to come
  12. Why is it vicious attacks by Chihuahua and Pomeranians don't get similar press coverage ?
  13. I'm much more concerned about bullying, violence and school shootings resulting in dead toddlers than normal childhood nookie let alone so-called pornography. Better a safe, healthy live child than some trivial flirtation
  14. Yes, it is. I South Korea it is the #1 chat app, just as Line is in Thailand. But, more to the point, Line is the correct answer to the OPs query, whilst the central issue with Skype's demise is the ability to call land-line phones. (other chat apps like FB Messenger, WhatsApp, etc, connect well for mobile to mobile calls, be it voice or video, but do not connect to land-line phones, such as are still used by banks, credit card companies and government) Viper provides this capability and like Skype offers pre-paid credits either globally or for specific countries or, alter, an ongoing subscription service for those who make more frequent calls.
