All Wikipedia articles regarding the manosphere are hit-pieces drafted by the Southern Poverty Law Center and by some Guardian's femihags. The last balanced source about Incels having escaped official censorship is https://incels.wiki/w/Main_Page Of course we expats in Thailand are no Incels. We're just in Thailand for the delicious food, the temples, and the pristine unpolluted beaches. We could just as well settle in Toronto or Stockholm and would have no difficulty in picking up girls from the street in those cities.

Pity Mahler (and others) don't have the guts to have incels as guests for a change. Of course if they did, it would only be in order to make incels look ridiculous and obnoxious.

Europe's economy is in for some bad time because of Ukraine. It wouldn't be bad for China to go through a bad spell as well. This will relieve pressure on the energy market. Plus, if everybody is in a spot, nobody is. All economies/currencies going down together. No winners, no losers.

4 wisdom teeth extracted at one go is not trivial. I'd take the antibiotics. I was once given Clindamycin after some procedure, an implant I think. I got catastrophic diarrhoea. That was about the only time in my life an antibiotic gave me diarrhoea.

Regarding the particular case in the newspaper article, I wouldn't be surprised if the gym had cameras installed in the men's rooms but not in the women's rooms. Not only because males were considered the exclusive criminal gender but also because women needed to be protected from CCTV voyeurism. Overprotection and gender bias come at a price. At least in this case it was difficult to blame an (unkown) male.

"Since it is the first time that card will have been used on the new device, a one-off security passcode is demanded. That verification passcode is sent by the bank to the stolen phone. The code flashes up on the locked screen of the stolen phone, leaving the thief to tap it into their own device. Once accepted, they have control of the bank account." With my EU account the thief would still be left without my bank ID + PIN (or, alternatively, without my fingerprint). It would not be sufficient for the thief to have the SIM card. Any "one-off security passcode" would be sent only after being applied for through the banking app or the banking browser website (both of which require some form of PIN or ID). In my Thai account access to the account is through a PIN on the banking app. SMS messages are only used for infos about payments/withdrawals.

I hope this is not going to set a trend in Thailand of women getting money from men by "being abused/assaulted". I'd much rather women got money from men by trading sex.

Sabai Lodge (Soi 2) used to have one of the test pools in town. Big enough to swim, and warm enough during the colder months because of a good sun exposure and the fact that the pool is at ground level.

It is obvious now that the things to do was not to impose sanctions (since they are self-defeating) but rather to deliver loads of weapons (more than are presently being delivered).

What about first a law requiring vehicles to have usable seat-belts ?

It's high time hotel and restaurant platforms stopped publishing reviews of places in Thailand, or included a warning saying that Thai law only allows sycophantic reviews. The number of stars in the review section should remain preset on 5 stars.

Yeah, especially since I don't even remember biting into anything hard. I was eating currants scraping them with my hand right from the bush. Unlikely a small stone could have hidden there, anyway I'd have noticed. It's like the crown had broken under its own fatigue or strain. Maybe it had been screwed too tightly (back in 2017). Dentists would be likely to err on the side of tightness so that patients don't bother them later with stuff that gets loose.

16-18 years olds making merry in town? OMG. At that age they should be at home watching gore movies on TV.

The porcelain crown screwed on the metal rod. It was a screwed implant. The screw is still intact.

If I remember right it is best to have implants soon after extraction, otherwise the jaw bone at the extraction spot retracts and eventually there isn't sufficient bone to anchor the implant. I guess a simple x-ray can tell whether an implant stands a chance. I'm going to need to get root canal tooth 48 (lower right last molar) extracted in the coming months. I'll go for an implant. There's probably no other choice as it is the last tooth (not counting a wisdom tooth now long gone). I already have an implant on tooth 47 next to it, but the crown on that implant broke into pieces two months ago. Replacing that crown will set me back 35k Baht according to Dentist@Beach in Pattaya. That is nearly the cost of a full implantation procedure. It is a Straumann implant (expensive manufacturer!). I assume crown breakages on implants are rare and I was just unlucky.

Interesting. But does that mean you are to declare everything that you own at the time of marriage (so that it remains yours after the divorce)? That is a bit how prenups work. Would the divorce court require you to divulge all your revenues and capital gains from the time of marriage, apart from what you have brought into Thailand? It is difficult to know what the real risks are. I assume most men who got skinned are too ashamed to talk.

Hearing aids + spectacles + face masks (+ helmet if you drive a bike), life is becoming difficult, if not impossible, for some of us.

Funny how men are prepared to take risks to stand up against OTHER MEN in political struggles not their own, while never standing up for their own rights against the gynocratic New World Order.

Three years ago I was at a hotel in Chaweng Beach (Samui). There was a large snapshot of a dog that really looked ill, with a warning that said "if you see this dog do not go near him". I was flabbergasted. Here was an animal known most probably to have rabies, and all people concerned looking the other way.

Yeah. I even have doubts about the audiometric test performed by the ENT. After the test started in the soundproof cubicle, the nurse opened the door to tell me "you should press the button as soon as you hear the sound, not wait until you hear it distinctly". I thought what? why wasn't I told earlier? So I am not even certain my frequency graph is accurate. Anything you can do on your own for yourself is better than relying on other people.

Women often get the pussy pass when they get violent, except on airplanes where you can't tolerate anyone - not even a woman - going on a rampage.

Can't you do everything with the app (after downloading it from Google Play)? I mean even the initial tuning? If you buy a top (expensive) brand, isn't the sound quality guaranteed to be top-notch? I wouldn't know the difference because I'll be wearing hearing aids for the first time. Note that in some countries where adjustments at regular intervals are included in the purchase price, audiologists might be happy about the app as it would save them some work.

Audimed in Bangkok and Chang Mai have Starkey hearing aids. Do you mean they would not provide repair services? So if I buy a Starkey hearing aid in Europe and it breaks down in Thailand I'm in a spot.

This is why I always try to pay for food or drinks as soon as possible. Once in Brazil I walked away assuming my wingman had already picked up the tab. The misunderstanding was obvious and nothing happened. I once walked away without paying at Swensen's (Big C in Pattaya). I must have acted and looked conspicuously absent-minded because they didn't even raise a fuss, just called me to my senses while I was drifting away at a very slow pace. Another time I'd taken a SongTaew to the Bangkok Bank branch after suddenly noticing I'd just left my debit card inside the ATM. I was in such a panic about the card I stepped away from the SongTaew without paying for the ride. Could have got nasty. I am the dreamy, absent-minded type, especially when I have a lot on my mind, and as I go out to eat and drink every single day, the odd mishap is bound to happen sooner or later. Scary.
