Fat is a type of crazy

I don't mean Trump... some way to get Biden to find a way with dignity, and having had a successful presidency, to pass the baton.

Equally dickish in both. I always thought he was appalling well before his political career. You can tell a fraud and a fake. Some can.

Saw Biden on the news today. Geez he's looking old. There's got to be a different way.

Wouldn't you think it is seriously over the top to sue over this. If it was a newspaper article in the New York Times then maybe but a comment on some webpost could be fixed up with a direct reply clarifying the issue. What if you criticise the thai green curry they made for lunch - sue because you say it's too sweet or something.

Bizarre. Where would that be. A nightclub? Out for a day looking at antiques? Allowing a man help you pick clothes at a department store? Inviting a man home for a coffee? Is that de facto consent for him to do what he likes? I always found the term grab em by the pussy to be obviously appalling even in a locker room setting. Are we talking about a bowling ball or what. If someone says - I am a stud - it can be funny. But the way he talks is so off. Not to some it seems.

For sure. Definitely affect my plans to go there either for holiday or for longer periods in the bad places in bad seasons.

Nice story and pictures. But don't give up on the real world Timmy... removing the weight of reality may feel good and the elation of putting reality to one side for a while might make you see things like a staircase but stay focused Timmy on what's real ..if the staircase is real then it is a fact you can add to the other facts. Your attitude to reality and facts may be too serious and make you heavy but reality is all we have. On the topic of stereograms that it is a good analogy ..stay focused and sensible and you see what's there .. squint and distort your outlook and you start to see things differently but it's of no use in the real world and makes you tired and confused. There.

Hope the op doesn't mind if I throw in a question - If I am staying at a combination of hotels and say monthly rents at a condo over the ninety days what is required at the 60 day mark to extend - showing where I stayed for the whole 60 days - and or now only - and or the last 30 days. Wouldn't have the latter yet so I suppose it's not that. is it required for both condos with a landlord and normal hotels ie if I stay at multiple hotels do I have to ask for a TM30 at each one as I leave. Thanks for help.

I like the fact that she went there - for good and for bad. Keep in mind her communist past where she saw a lot of justifications for helping her fellow man which turned out not to work in terms of practical human nature. What if self interest is everything that feels good for you and doing things for people feels good. Then doing things for selfish reasons might include helping people. Starting with the premise that you are doing things to help people because it's somehow objectively good is almost religious - doing what you want, which may include helping others, is doing something based on your human nature. Possibly the same outcome but how you get there in your mind is more logical and clear.

Thanks. I think that is where it does hit a bit of a dead end because of the subjective objective issue. I tried to fix that by noting that, if it is observable only subjectively, then maybe the results rather than the phenomenon itself, could be observed objectively, but if that's not possible, then hard to take it further unless one commits to some super deep dive. It seems that you should be able to take some bit of the findings into the objective world as evidence but if not then fair enough. A brief comment on the covid stuff that had been provided separately: I don't think Fauci noted you'll be safe with the vaccine is the same as saying it will prevent it - it made sennse to say safe when the unvaccinated were dying in such large no's at the time and the vaccinated were not. He didn't appear to use the word prevent. The Biden comment you provided, which I recall, is a perfect example of what I was saying - that some politicians misspoke - the reaction to his comment that the vaccine prevented covid was immediate and scathing - from social media and a range of medical sources including the CDC - saying his comment was not correct. It shows that the statement that the vaccine prevented covid had clearly not been treated as a scientific truth at that time. Broadly or otherwise.

I think you are getting a bit excited about the covid stuff. Your point was specifically the following: The mRNA shots will prevent you from catching Covid. That was billed and heavily promoted as a scientific "truth." I don't recall ever being told in Australia that getting the vaccine would mean I would not get covid. I was always told, and had known from previous vaccines, that it means if you catch it, and have had the vaccine, it is a lot less worse. It may have been also said that there is LESS likelihood of catching it but I do not recall hearing it would actually prevent you getting it. As I said maybe it was said in the early period. I do recall the controversial issue being around whether a person should have to get vaccinated as it made it safer for others but that is a separate issue. If you can show me that all the major medical bodies made your claim throughout the covid epidemic, and not just early on as I stated where errors were made, then I will accept what you are saying. Please do and I can learn something. Fun fact: I was a big fan of Ayn Rand at one time. Her direct and somewhat extreme right wing economic views and opinions on personal freedoms and approach to life were refreshing in The Fountainhead. Atlas Shrugged got a bit much and I saw that you need a heart and being so hardcore is in the end not a good way to treat fellow humans. Ask yourself : if you showed her the Seth stuff what would have she said. Doesn't mean it's wrong but see how it appears to others when by your own admission the evidence is subjective at best.

He's not popular with the Smiths - if I recall you are a big fan. Fun fact they've told him to stop playing 'Please please please let me get what I want' at his rallies without permission.

OK. Leave it there. You say you validate to the extent you can - so you're either not totally sure and you accept the theory is a theory only or you say it is definitely true and then faith is involved. Simple point. I am not sure why it is important for you to seem so sure of yourself that your theory is correct. The covid point, which in the big picture is not a lie, is that you used it as an example of science not working when science is by definition a self correcting mechanism and the vaccine had been clearly ultimately successful backed by scientific studies and not simply by someone's subjective notions.

Claims that science now has a lot of things wrong, and that scientists would likely disregard evidence of non physical forces if there was evidence are your claims, are unproven red herrings and do not help in backing up your theory. Science by definition never says it is undisputedly right of course. You have used as an example of your mistrust in science claims about the covid vaccine being a cure. Early on maybe the odd scientist, and a few politicians, misspoke and said it would prevent covid rather than lessening it's effects. I never had the impression the vaccine was a cure. So, because things were learnt on the run, and the messaging was not perfect, you seem to throw the baby out with the bathwater and somewhat put aside the clear scientific success of the vaccine. So let's set aside what others are doing or not doing or who is immovable and stick to your theory. The comment on meditation related to other posters. I have not studied consciousness. Your reading and personal experiences have led you to a theory - but that theory can't be explained succinctly similar to how a business could be explained as per your example - and apparently can't be proven, by direct or indirect evidence, at this time. The notion that evidence might come from followers of your ideas, possibly having objectively similar outcomes, is not acceptable to you. Maybe some other form of secondary evidence is acceptable. Faith is not a dirty word. I think we all have a type of faith at times in this and that to get through the day. You could one day be proven correct. If you have a theory that works for you based on readings and subjective experiences, but accept it may be wrong, then to me that's fine. Some of your writing though indicates you are sure it is correct which by definition requires faith.

People have such small cameras now that you'll never know so you have to cop it. Don't want to be filmed there don't go there.

There are many unknowns about how consciousness works but you have not proven conclusively that there are non physical forces - not even close. We all have thoughts and a consciousness but there is no evidence that it is not reliant or a product of our physicality. One of your key claims seems to be that non physical forces can control the physical world and that an individual can influence their life and or surroundings through these non physical means. As I have noted, if direct physical evidence is not possible, you should seemingly be able to provide statistical secondary evidence to back up your claims. Followers or adherents of your doctrine or ideas, could show specific and possibly unusual or surprising outcomes in their physical lives, that came from these non-physical concepts e.g. we are not sure why there is a link between A and B, or what forces are at play, but clearly A leads to B. Next steps may be to see if you can gather evidence or alternatively live your life happily in your faith that to you these are self evident truths. But in my opinion criticism of those that doubt, on the basis that they don't have your faith or that they can't comment without 10000 hours meditating or reading 1000000 words, is not a fair way to make an argument. You need evidence.

At one stage in the video I think he mentions 120 people are watching the livestream. Not too shabby outcome for him. I think it picks up on that cultural divide where in their mind they are being super polite yet come out seeming a bit arrogant and a bit petulant - especially where he shouts at him for touching her on the flag.

Theory: Uttradit is Bignok is Sparktrader Evidence for: Lots of short posts. Sometimes a bit rude. Started a topic about a small Thailand town. Evidence against: Mentioned a wife and her owning a house. Conclusion: Not sure

His take on things are sensible and likely accurate for those who don't believe in a god or for those like Thaibeachlovers who see a god as there but hands off. Of course denying that there are objectively human rights as part of the ether is not to say human kind cannot decide that life is better if we introduce human rights as laws. I have not seen the WEF have an anti human agenda. I have seen some cynics misinterpret on purpose things attributed to them such as 'You'll own nothing and be happy' which was one obscure speaker talking about the sharing economy and in no way suggesting or dictating how things should be beyond this.

Suppose if Trump falls over De Santis can maybe start it up again. They all seem to use the term suspending the campaign. Or would Hayley win automatically if she has some points from a win in New Hampshire or something. Interesting.

Could be some of those journalists, who get fact checked and stand by their words, see things you don't see. A compliant tourist looking at a panda or a wall or eating yum cha might not see what goes on behind the smiles of the government and the army and police.

Focusing on the working person for a minute. I get that at times some on the left, mainly the young which is nothing new, may seem a bit precious and care about issues rather than the working class but I don't see that with Biden. Biden supports unions. Higher wages. Lots of jobs right now. Efforts somewhat successful to reduce inflation. If it was 2016 you might be forgiven for thinking Trump might shake things up in favour of the working man - but what did he do in 4 years. Tax cuts for the wealthy. Promises on healthcare but all he tried to do is remove support measures. No push for better wages. It seems like bravado, and attitude is what his fans like, even if it has no substantive action behind it. Or he can talk about freedom and the border and guns and how bad the left is and ...words words words ... and that satisfies his supporters. Let's talk specifics - he benefited low and average income working people by ....

Not sure what those acronyms are

I saw a story about how they import a lot of unhealthy foods in a lot of south pacific countries including fatty salty meats, a bit spam like, doesn't help.

A few points: There is a logic to removing the Electoral College - those mobs you talk of are voters - too much power in the hands of the Dakotas - it is open to debate - I see some Hillary comments on this from long ago but no secret plan to make it happen. Few if any major economies didn't have significant inflation - maybe Japan due to weak household consumption. Unions have been hugely beneficial to workers and many American industries would benefit. Look at Thailand to see how the worker gets ripped off without unions. Like any group power corrupts and powerful unions can have issues. I may not be as one sided as you think - I can see an argument for some Republican policies - it's the Republican politicians that are atrocious. I can see arguments that in one way January 6 was mainly a group of charged up nobodies who turned into a mob and had no bigger plan in mind. I can see that say the valuation of properties charges could have a political element. But many of the current charges, including those related to January 6, appear well reasoned and valid and show Trump has a half assed doofus with no moral sensibilities. It's not an interest in Trump that keeps my interest - he is a bore - 3 minutes of his speeches and I've had enough - it's that so many seemingly normal and or intelligent people can support him. It's bizarre.
