Fat is a type of crazy

They were probably taking a night off. Gearing up for tonight and the weekend.

Can recommend showing him Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job The Universe I II and III on youtube.

Had a good experience with Wise sending to Thailand. I have a Wise Hello World debit card and they note you can take funds out by ATM with low fees or no fees if less than $700 per month in 2 transactions from Australia - has someone had experience if the Thai ATM's charge a large fee.

So if I spend say 3 months in Thailand from Australia how I can I use and benefit from Revolut. Can I put money in it and then use it to pay for things in Thailand in thai baht I assume. Is the advantage that the transfer rate is better - I have an Australian card with no fees for foreign transactions and the Mastercard transfer rate which is good so not sure why I would use this. Can I access cash at ATM's. Don't need help with savings plans or travel insurance etc. Free credit card travel insurance for three month trips. Not sure how I would use it.

For me it's not saying he's going to be Stalin killing each and every critic. Not that extreme. It's a trend though towards Trump looking to dismantle checks and balances, removing the smart people in the room and putting in loyalists, continuing to degrade the independence and trustworthiness of elections, letting autocrats around the world do as they see fit and in fact supporting them and calling them strong, etc etc. Doing things that are not in the best interests of the country but best interests of keeping him in power. Some here will say - those smart people in the room are the deep state, or elections are not fair because I saw this youtube video, or those autocrats are not so bad and at least they are not woke. Or you need to watch this right wing unfact checked media to know the truth. They say what is fact checking anyway if the fact checkers are part of the deep state or some left wing alliance. At some point you gotta let people believe what they want. In my opinion no politicians are perfect or have 100 per cent good intentions but you have to differentiate between better and worse and Trump has shown he is clearly far at the worse end.

Belief in god on a good day, is somewhat hand in hand with bringing people together, a reason to care about each other and the future, a sense of community because we are all in this together under god. Admitting we are not as strong and independent as we might like and need help from time to time. A reason to try to be good. All this can be had without a belief in god but such factors are part of a belief in an ideal world. Your belief may be different - you feel you found god and now you believe and that's it. I don't believe - who knows maybe that actually helps to be humane and see what is and a belief in god takes you away from that.

Geez Sparky you've gone all in now.

Applying for a 60 day visa shortly in Australia. Waiting for new passport and hopefully can apply by 19 March and get $60 rate. Wonder if they use application date or processing date to indicate fee. Paying $300 would not be fun if that's the new price.

I think it would be very uncomfortable and after five minutes pretty boring. You ever watch a Trump rally rather than the supposed highlights - that is a boring man. Biden is no entertainer either. Trump will bring out his greatest hits and then it will be if Biden can be lucid enough to point out his successes and his opponents flaws. He's been good at that in the past - focusing on the risk that Trump brings. Once we see if Biden is up to a 2020 type performance it will probably be pretty flat from there in my opinion.

She got 40 per cent so if you are right that she doesn't appeal to many for her own policies then there must be a fair few anti Trumper Republicans in South Carolina. Doesn't bode well...

Good that Trump won today. As The Daily Show showed well this week Haley has pretty bad policies too but since she comes across so much more acceptable to normal people, it's good Trump continues to win with the base, as he has much less chance than Haley against Biden.

So what about it. Is there some argument that animals could not have evolved in the sea and therefore christianity might be true or something.

What a shocker website full of ads and pop ups and crap. Daily Mail reminds me of Joe Jackson song: Mother doesn't go out anymore Just sits at home and rolls her spastic eyes But every weekend through the door Come words of wisdom from the world outside If you want to know 'bout the bishop and the actress If you want to know how to be a star If you want to know 'bout the stains on the mattress You can read it in the Sunday papers

If true then, though unsavoury, he likely has helped the Filipino girl get a good life in England, with a probably a good paying job to send money home. She gets her freedom now and doesn't have years having to take care of an aging guy so not so bad. Assuming she doesn't madly love the old guy which I think is not a strong likelihood. Looks like he's spent a lot of money already on kids and family - Thai lady may end up disappointed.

I have thought similar but I think certain staff expect a tip based on their level of pay such as I have mentioned and include hotel room cleaners. Based to on somewhat more personal services where you directly benefit I suppose. May not be totally logical in all cases but you have to draw the line somewhere.

Restaurants and massage shops are good for tipping. If you don't tip there, assuming no 10 per cent surcharge, then you are a cheap charlie in my book.

Hummin's back. This topic is supposed to be about humanity and someone appears back from a long time gone and no one comments. Think about people before god. Now where is mau

I liked parties in my youth where you could walk around, listen to music, look for girls and muck about. That was replaced a bit by dinner parties which I didn't like much. Unless it was close friends. It was like a grown up thing with supposed clever banter and witty retorts and people would turn to topics like investments in real estate or some such. Could not escape for a few hours. Praise the host. Not my cup of tea. Older still it became dinner and game nights and that was kind of fun I suppose. My thai girlfriend doesn't have the type of friends that have dinner parties which is fine by me. But going out and doing stuff is ok in a group - thai girls will tend to compete in conversation as to who is best off if they have an expat partner but it's pretty harmless and they tend to be otherwise nice.

It's nice to be important but it's important to be nice. Canadians from the cold are gonna wanna talk about the heat and will feel they have some expertise about what to wear in the cold. Sure you could have found some common ground on something and they may then drop their guard and not be as boring - probably due to shyness and unfamiliar surroundings.

I liked Hillary. Could not see a reason for the hate except her being pretty mainstream. The deplorables comment didn't help but it was not targeted at the average Trump lover but a subset that one could objectively argue are a bit deplorable.

I could go point by point and attempt to apportion blame here and there to circumstance, or outside forces, or Trump and sometimes Biden, or admit on some topics I am not sure who is to blame which is the case for us all, but if you can't listen and see, really see, that Trump should be out of the question due to his shallowness, clear lack of intellectual intelligence or moral compass that is required of a president, then there's no point discussing more complex issues. On media, each media has some bias and something to sell but in my opinion some media treats you with a bit of intelligence and others clearly don't. There is a good deal of fact checking that goes with the somewhat one sided tone at an MSNBC or a CNN as compared to commentators on Fox or .. ahem .. Newsmax. Consider that many of the criticisms of Trump are simply reporting what happened.

Must cost restaurant 10 baht tops. I think I'll comment as this is important.

It's almost like they saw it got pages and pages of replies the last times they did the story so they put it on again.

Maybe this whole thing of external or internal happiness is based on the physical body i.e. the relaxedness or clearness or happiness of our mind is 100 per cent linked to our physical state e.g. how tight is your neck, how relaxed are your hips, how healthy your insides. The state of your physicality will be affected by 1 perceptions of external events e.g. good news, fun times, by 2 actual physical events e.g. massage, sex, and by 3 personal ways of doing things and how you live that affect you physically e.g. quiet times, solitude, exercise and good food. Point being it all comes down to physicality and doesn't require a god, or a spirituality, or even really a separate mind.
