The height of American cuisine.

Don't waste your time. You are arguing with an idiot, and a liar. An idiot, because he/she/it denies viruses exist. A liar, because ICU's during the pandemic were full of mostly unvaccinated COVID patients, displacing non - COVID patients.

It's one thing to think outside the box. It's another to be batsh!t crazy. Common sense says alienating your closest allies with tariffs is stupid. Common sense says crucifying your farming sector with tariffs not once, but twice, is moronic. Common sense says making a trade enemy who can cut off your supply of vital, strategic raw materials with the stroke of a pen is daft. Common sense says when you offer your Federal employees voluntary redundancy, you will lose your best and brightest. You'll be left with the office politicians and clock watchers. Common sense says when you pull out of the WHO, you are facilitating new pandemics. Bacteria and viruses don't give a rat's rectum about national boundaries. Common sense says when you say you are going to dispossess 2 million Palestinians, said people will embrace every terrorist group in the Middle East sworn to bring down the Great Satan. Common sense says when you deport your lowest cost farm workers, prices on the supermarket shelves will increase. I agree the liberal side of politics got themselves tied up with peripheral concerns. That doesn't change the fact Trump is like a bull in a china shop, who can't see past his nose. What Trump does can't affect me, short of a nuclear war. I can be objective, what about you?

Alcohol is not addictive? Ask any doctor, it's a serious health problem. Most criminal activity is related to a drug's illegality. All the countries who have legalized drug use report a reduction in crime statistics.

According to US Immigration, I am also an alien when I go there. So far, I have resisted the temptation to claim I am the newly appointed Galactic Ambassador from Andromeda.

So perfect, China has put 75% tariffs on all American imports in response to the extra tariffs Trump imposed. The CCP will probably also restrict or ban the export of strategic elements vital for modern technologies, such as electric cars. American farmers who were put to the sword in the last Trump administration now have a double whammy. A repeat of being unable to sell into China, their biggest market, who will just look for other suppliers. Same effect as when Europe told Putin where to shove his gas. PLUS not having enough low wage undocumented immigrants to pick their crops, thanks to Trump's deportation policy. Trump is an economic imbecile. It doesn't say much about the economic literacy of 50% of American voters either. The leftist label is invariably posted by people who are bereft of any countervailing facts.

Doesn't that mean dumbing down of the various government organisations overall, if it loses its best people?

It would be nice if someone could answer my question without attempting to be a comedian.

Google Dumbf@*kery. A tariff war that brings the cost of living down, yeah right.

How come they can't be imported from Mexico?

You name it, young Israelis/Brits/Americans/Russians/Indians/Aussies etc. etc. are generally the problem. Dragged up, not brought up by their parents.

A conservative roasting the Dems, what a surprise. Who will do the roasting when the MAGA's finally realize Trump has tossed them under the cost-of-living bus? Eggs in Mexico are less than $2 a dozen, above $7 a dozen in the USA.

Main road, think it is called Bang Talay. Always has one or two cats snoozing on the chairs. It has a building next to it which houses a scuba club, of all things. Coming from Chiang Rai on the 1020? to Thoeng, it is about 200 metres on the RHS just before the crest, which then descends to a set of traffic lights, with a day market on the left at the intersection.

I suggest you run that last statement past the Nicaraguans, Danes, Palestinians, Mexicans, Canadians and Chinese. I would hardly call the Chinese LIBERAL.

No need to be poorly informed, all you have to do is see Trump himself speaking on news outlets, or read his posts on Truth Social. From the horse's mouth, so to speak. I post opinions, based on facts, plus data. I don't know where you get the idea I have a miserable life, I quite enjoy puncturing the pretensions of deluded posters. Your last four words proves I am living rent-free in your head.

Fruit contains fructose and sucrose. Sucrose is sugar. It hydrolyzes to fructose and glucose in the stomach. Glucose is what shows up in tests for type 2 diabetes. Fructose does not. Excessive fructose consumption increases the risk of developing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease ( NAFLD ) NAFLD is diagnosed by checking for elevated levels of liver enzymes. The gold standard test is liver biopsy. While NAFLD of itself is not usually fatal, it can be a contributory factor in dangerous conditions such as liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and cardiovascular disease. The best fruits to eat in order to limit total sugar intake are any berries - strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry. Apples are also relatively low. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants. As with many items of food, moderation is key.

Protection of presidential candidates is less than for a sitting President. Removing protection from two people who have their heads full of US secrets is about as petty and stupid as it gets. If you are going to do the look over there shtick, at least try for something convincing. You are embarrassing yourself.

Removing security clearance and protection from people like John Bolton and Mark Milley is vindictive and dangerous. If you disagree with that, there's no hope for you. Just toddle along to a press conference with Karoline Leavitt, she will tell you what you want to hear.

It has never worked because the Palestinians have never accepted Israel, established by UN mandate, have the same right to be a state as they do. It has never worked because the most powerful nation on the planet refuses to recognize Palestine as a state in its own right. It might work if Palestinians were allowed to return after rebuilding. On Trump's record, why would any Palestinian put any trust in such a promise?

Bamboo is rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals, and has zero calories. Pork rinds are crunchy and delicious, a good source of collagen. which helps maintain skin tone and cartilage. Then there's pad siew gai, pad thai goong, mussuman curry, northern thai sausage. Roasted fish with garlic, Kai tod. Pad pat ruam. I used to eat meat and three veg back in Australia, IMO Thai food has far more variety. I'd say Thai food is healthier. In Oz, I was 93 kg, sometimes ballooned out to 100 kg. Now I am a svelte 79 kg.

It's very rare I would have a dump outside the comfort of my own place. I guess that would apply to most people. After a dump, I dry my butt with toilet tissue. Then I use soap, water to clean my hands, before drying with a towel. I trust this is not too much information. For me, being in a crowd in a country that just uses reams of toilet paper is TMI, all those imperfectly cleaned @rses. Filthy. Whatever turns your crank, enjoy sex doggy-style, with the aroma wafting up to you.

This thread presents a strong argument for abridging freedom of speech. Will somebody please tell the idiots running this garbage it is useless without peer review, in a reputable journal? I sometimes wish a virus with a 90% fatality rate would come along, so Darwin could sort them out.

My dermatologist in Chiang Rai fixed my psoriasis for me. The OP is welcome to return to the US, and pay US prices to be treated.

The result of Trump's Gaza brain fart won't be long in coming. He's given every intelligence operative in America a major headache, not that he would listen to them anyway. He has also galvanized every terrorist group in the Middle East, and created a pool of about 2 million Palestinians to recruit from. If someone is going to take your home/land away from you, wouldn't you react the same way?

IMO the problem with Starsucks is the bean to water ratio. It tastes like they use three or four beans to make 300 mL of coffee, on the basis the customer is getting plenty of coffee, even if it is tasteless.
