Fat is a type of crazy

One example is that sometimes , say, a supporter of strange right wing things, or conspiracy things, or god things, will make 6 dubious or illogical claims in a post. One can take a few paragraphs to respond, attempting to not be totally dismissive, but showing one has addressed the issues raised. I don't meet people with these opinions in real life. I work in a job where I have to argue things logically so, in the past, a 10 minute break from that, to reply to such a post that might have ended up a bit long, is something to do. At one time I thought maybe you can change that mind, or a different reader's mind, but soon you see them make the same type of conclusions the next day and you realise there is no point and short replies will suffice. Better still don't bother and have a walk in the sun.

No need to go all worgeordie on us and sign off each post. We can see who makes each post from the top left.

Thanks. So looks like no increase in price so may as well wait till the 19th and send to Sydney.

I did a previous post on this. Long cut short don't see love as more than strong feelings - not something that exists itself.

Applying for one shortly - new passport in the mail - based in Melbourne - maybe best to get the application in by the 9th in Sydney. Funny to introduce new technology for one state and make the rest of Australia stick to mail system.

Do you believe that the person in the video can leave his body for 3 days and perform miracles, or believe in the possibility of it, or neither. If you do surely there can be clear scientific proof for that i.e. there may be some subjective experiences where you feel science in 2024 can't go but there should be evidence for that type of thing.

Putting aside the concerns about the 2020 election, which hopefully you can acknowledge are extremely tenuous at best, you say you go for Trump because Democrats are too woke and politically correct and are tearing down the values you hold dear. Are there 5 Biden policies you can point too that are woke - preferably that would affect your life if you were in America. This is Biden policies not some obscure Democrat with no power. The only area I can see as a bit wokish is with the border control but that's been an issue with both sides. One side talking the talk but happy I think with cheap labour. But what are these overwhelming Biden woke policies that make you turn to a doofus like Trump.

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.
