My father used to say that even a blind old hog finds an acorn occasionally. A monkey with a typewriter spells a few real words occasionally. The man is a full-blown nut case (brainworms probably). A nutrition course in college lit a bulb for me at 21. I stopped eating crap then and have never looked back. At 75 I'm quite proud of my body and health and my hair is still brown. If one opens their mind instead of their mouth the truth emerges quickly. No need to suffer hogs, monkies, or fools.

Health Six Dead as Covid Cases Surge in Thailand
RocketDog replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If you live in a bubble you don't need mask or shots. Oxygen, water, and food become over-riding interests quickly though. Not to mention waste removal. -
Health Six Dead as Covid Cases Surge in Thailand
RocketDog replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Don't you have to be on the road for those to happen? Infectious diseases can strike anybody. False equivalence. -
Health Six Dead as Covid Cases Surge in Thailand
RocketDog replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Perspective I guess. I took it as a simple warning that covid is still active here and that it can cause death. Why is your and others in this thread reactions to statement of simple facts so violent? Just another opportunity for you to state the same arguments you beat to death the last few years. Get a better hobby, or better yet, stop raving about things that you claim don't affect you. Me thinketh thou protestith too much. -
Good luck on the usa visit. After a deep dive over several years I have concluded it is flat impossible to bring my Thai live-in GF (together for 8 years now) to america for a visit especially with the current administration. Her return trip, expenses paid, could well end in El Salvador! (There is actually a bitter and expletive-ridden rant about the orange man that I am omitting, but use your imagination).

I share ice cream with my dog. Have for 50 years. Keeps me immunized! 😁 The American CDC has been airing public service announcements for years asking people to stop over-sanitizing their kitchens; Saying that kids are growing up with virgin immune systems. I never bandage or clean superficial small cuts and scrapes. If it's a puncture wound I force it to bleed out for a few minutes and move on. Deeper cuts get some superglue and a bandage. And yes, I work with my hands a lot. YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM: USE IT OR LOSE IT.

Look at UltraMobile sim cards. I've had one for over a year and got it here before I went back last May to sell my house. I've had skype for several years but it's such a clusterf##k app I won't miss it. Have the Ultra sim in my phone and if you only call using a wifi connection calls are unlimited to any usa number and they gave me a usa number as well so anybody can call me from usa. If you subscribe for a year it's only slightly more than skype at $15/yr.

Donald Trump is still winning, one hundred days in

Does this make sense to anybody but you? -

Alternative facts now huh. -
We can only hope you're right. As the final paragraph of the OP notes, this is symbolic but still has power. At this point I don't pay much attention to the man's actions or words. It's clear he will continue to create chaos at every turn. It's not accidental, it's strategic. He gets his cues ftom the authoritarian playback Project 2025. What I am paying attention to is the rising tide of resistance from the people. They have no playback for rebellion as Americans have seldom had to embrace such tactics in our history. Nonetheless, a time is coming when he will have aggressively offended or damaged enough citizens that a spark will come that could set off a raging wildfire. After all, his rabid base is still small compared to the rest of the citizenry, which his minor 1.5% popular vote margin clearly demonstrates after you consider the 19m registered voters who stayed home. I don't believe that Americans' core values can repressed or trampled on for another four years without social upheaval.

How scared should we be of Trump's authoritarian tendencies?
RocketDog replied to spidermike007's topic in Political Soapbox
I have started using the term more properly, that's all. It's pretty clear these days which side truly has the syndrome. His minions never miss an opportunity to sing his praises. It's an obsession demonstrationg closed minds and open mouths. If enough folks on both sides start using it to describe the other the utter confusion will soon kill the term altogether. That's my goal. If enough of their go-to epithets are turned upside down they will be left speechless. They will be forced to use their shattered brainpans as flowerpots or cat litter boxes or something else at least nominally useful. -

RocketDog replied to spidermike007's topic in Political Soapbox
Agreed. But trumps supporters just can't see the truth. It's popularly known as Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's not only weak-minded, as you say, but shows extreme gullability and wish-thinking with a strong dose of self-inflicted blindness. Perhaps some will change their opinions when their lives began to crumble from their Dear Leader's global mayhem. -
America has emerged....as an international laughingstock
RocketDog replied to TheAppletons's topic in Political Soapbox
You almost make it sound like Trump has a plan. Nobody is buying that one. What he has is a two week old dead flounder and it's starting to smell. -

Tell me which direction to look please. I'm just not seeing it. Unless of course the goal is global chaos. -
Report Drunk Tourist's Nude Stroll Shocks Phuket Locals and Sparks Debate

Sewing wouldn't reap much but sowing would. But you make a good point. You pick roses everyday and eventually you'll feel a thorn. -
The two most powerful weapons in china's arsenal: Western Social media and propaganda bots. War is deception. Convince the enemy you are strong when you are weak, convince them you are weak when you are strong. So which side are you helping with your post? And make no mistake. China is the sworn enemy of every country on the planet including Russia and north Korea.

Report Foodpanda to Exit Thailand, Halting Services on May 23
RocketDog replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
A misunderstanding of Darwinism. The truth is that the adaptable species survive, not the strongest. But your version appeals to a lot of people to justify their actions. Misinformation. -
Inevitable. Easy script: Go to another country as an immigrants or refugee. Find a Muslim enclave to live in. Take whatever financial or support means the host country offers you for as long as possible including citizenship. In the meantime pump out kids faster than the nationals in your host country. In a generation or so you have enough Muslim candidates and voters to put people in office. Rinse and repeat until you control the government. It works too. Look at France and England, both well down the road at this point with never a shot fired. To paraphrase: Death by a thousand children and their children and their children.
