Excellent post ... here's a reality check for those that think RU was, is the aggressor in Europe. As every year, eastward movement and more nukes placed on RU's border.

Why I didn't have or raise kids (full time) until I retired. Then I had, have the time & money, to enjoy both. For me, that did mean retiring early, as starting a family (just 1 kid) at normal retirement age, 60+, wouldn't really be fare to any kid, since most life expectancy of us born in the '50s', is less than 70 yrs old.

Going by their postings, apparently very few. Does explain a lot, as their knowledge seems to be from MSM

I can understand the on going, monthly arrangement of paying for a 'live in' companion. That actually makes sense. If not silly priced. But the ones that pay per sexual session, especially if not an all night affair, that just sounds boring. As stated, just wouldn't interest me. Never been that desperate. Understand paying for someone to leave the next day, no attachments and all that. Maybe as a weekly regular. But to have to go out to a bar, look at the 'menu', negotiate price, and then what, where to go ? Nah, that would get old real fast.

I don't feel any hatred, nor post any, I don't think, or very very rare. Having very thick forum skin 😎 And been called just about everything. All for open debate of facts, but that's not what they present. Just childish drivel IMHO. Prefer not to see their drivel any more, as time I can't get back. Almost feel sad for them ... OK, not really. More like relish in their misery For some, it seems to be their life. Even the lowest of the top 5 posters, posts more in 1 week, than I average in 1 month, and that's taking in to consideration, I don't post nearly as much as I used to. That's like 60-70 posts a day And that's the lowest of the top 5 this week. Talk about no life outside the forum. I wonder if they are bed ridden. And that's just this one forum 🙄 Guessing more than a few are on multiple forums.

Not just Trump, as they seem to hate Thais & Thailand. Along with RU, CN, USA, EVs and even Solar. Really is mind boggling ...

I just added 15, those that started anti Trump threads. So knocking on 2 pages of. Either leave the forum, or try this first, not seeing anything they post. It will avoid seeing their deranged drivel on positive threads also. The hate is simply mind boggling

Aside from marriage, legally binding yourself financially, in most countries, and good argument not to marry. Though I don't see what's the problem with people being in relationships, even if eventually ending. Better, being single, and having a few friends w/bennies 😉 For the life of me, I don't why, most vocal in this thread, would rather pay for 'hourly' or less 🙄 cowmanship, with someone in a normal setting, probably won't bother talking to you, and paying to have sex with. That to me, simply doesn't interest me. I did do a week long rental, 24/7, first time visiting Phuket, as simply too convenient, and ridiculously inexpensive in 1999. That was actually fun after the first night of awkwardness. But would not be interested in paying someone every time I wanted sex. Besides being extremely expensive, having sex with someone who really doesn't want to be with me, wouldn't interest me at all. Quite the turn off. Thankfully never needed to, so can't really comprehend how that would make me feel, having to pay people to be with me. Can't image that being a good feeling, TBH.

When was there ever transparency in anything the govt or acronym folks were involved in ? Didn't the last 5 or so years teach anybody, anything ?

Yep ... about the same as every other govt Them Glass Houses & all ... simply look how the 'pandemic' was handled by every gov't ... now tell me, who do you trust ??? There is a govt corruptions index. Let that sink in.

That would obviously depend on the 'choices' you make ... who you decide to live with or marry. Being in a relationship, for me, is definitely cheaper. Though definitely not a reason to be in one. #6 was a winner for me, 3 marriages + 2 living in sin relationships prior to. If not meeting her 19+ years ago, I'd probably still be single. Definitely not as happy as I am now. Do agree with the premise, there is no reason 'ever' to get married. I didn't even bother for 8 years with the present wife. That piece of paper isn't binding at all in my world, as before, if wanting, could simply walk away from this or any relationship.

That should be more than enough. Considering what the Apollo missions had and used for those instant calculation for landing on and returning to Earth from the Moon with Power equivalent to a calculator ...

An intelligent person would realize, expats living overseas is less of an impact on the budget, than living in the USA. Imagine the added hit on Medicare, if all us ol' farts had access and used it for our healthcare. Unhealthy folks with cardiac issue, on going cancer treatment, or dialysis. Purchase of insulin & statins and other crap unhealthy people are told they need & use, and sold at silly prices. Of course if big pharma made that decision, then nobody would be allowed to live overseas

I try avoid traveling to BKK on Sundays, or leaving on Friday after noon or Saturday. Usually gridlock. Timing is everything around BKK or other metros at rush hour also. If we can make it to Ibis Riverside in < 4 1/2 hrs, I'm happy. That includes about a 30 min munch stop.. If crossing the river and into 'town', that's another 30 mins. We're about 1 hr 15 mins below HH. Which we were at 3 times in the last 10 day 1 pit stop, coming back from BKK, and 2 trips to the vet for Sniffy the WonderDogs's check up 🙄

I think 45 yrs in one country is enough. Not much there I haven't seen, or want to see. Staying would be a bit boring. Staying would be stupid. Doesn't matter who is in the WH, it's a temp job with little long term effect. The country runs on auto pilot, and the politicians have little to do with that.

Apparently Z has no interest in cease fire toward peaceful resolution. Leaving town and all. Does he expect NATO or EU to help, without any USA backing. He's done and just doesn't know it, or, he does. Maybe not that stupid after all. Guess he'll be retiring somewhere quite comfortably soon.

Woman in combat ... no Serve with, yes, but not in combat. Don't know a whole lot of woman that could carry me. At least to, out of harm's way. When in military, women were not allowed in combat zones. Changed in 2016, for ground combat. Shower with men ... no If I'm showering with another person, we're probably having sex, or prelude to. Not saying haven't been without clothes, with other people, men and or women in different settings, in younger days. And not so younger days, just before TH. Drunken parties, out in nature, 3-somes or whatever. No desire lately, well, while in a relationship, and not since in Thailand.

I don't go th HH either, as a beach or holiday destination. First time was as a holiday, as wanting to sample the 'train journey', along with being a close beach (not Patts) to BKK. That was enough, as nothing there to make a repeat visit, for Hua Hin itself. That was before I owned a car, and it was nice, 2001. Further visits were pit stops, to points further south, or to attend the Jazz Festivals, which were excellent, until beer advertising was banned. As the financing dried up. Think I attended the first 8 festivals. After I discovered Muang, PKK, I simply drove the extra hour for a more relaxed pit stop, on the way to Phuket, usually, 2X a year, during school breaks. HH has a beach, most won't swim in. So not a 'beach holiday' destination. Really no reason to go there, IMHO, unless as the weekenders do, just to escape the city for a few days, for a much better view. Flying, as pointed out is a joke, silly prices, and unless a conx flight, then takes just as long to fly, as to drive, or public trans. Go to airport, 2 hr check in, 1 hr gate to gate, out the door, then deal with the taxi mafia Repeat to return, when all you have to do is hop a van, train or bus if in BKK and don't want to drive for fraction of the cost. Arrive ground transport, and most things are within walking distance. Taxi for door to door convenience, and still cheaper than flying.

Means a trans woman, may not be as physically fit to serve, if stating he's a man, since training requirements aren't always the same. Again, not sure I would want to be on the front lines, with less physically able person. If injured, will he be able to carry, assist me back to medical care. To serve as a trans woman in US military, the must transition ... BUT ... that does not require sex reassignment surgery. Simply living as a woman, and you get to train as a women. Less physical training then men. Hence the problem. Same as competing against women. If you can't 'qualify' as a men, just say you're a woman. NO THANKS ... prefer not to have my life depend on you on the front lines, combat zone.

With their mental illness, they may be serving Beyond Burger and think it's Beef My plants identify as animals 😎

Doubt that ... and the same as epstein, booted out

Been one of the chilliest for us, while at PKK, last 7 ish yrs. Damn MMGW That sure did change fast, and using the AC at night again. It's called the weather for a reason, ever changing. Tic Toc ... just waiting for the rains now. Was nice this week with a bit of rain, and things came back to life, and turned green a bit. Won't last though 😎 I think we peaked, hopefully ... https://scontent.fbkk17-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/480919586_2301209510256254_6056953676417023231_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=127cfc&_nc_eui2=AeF9eL7wPEpeNhXPUrKbFTMnYWVr8avOUzJhZWvxq85TMmCFOg-T1YeRrYry2k_QzLbmZP_myducp0Wq2xjAuV2q&_nc_ohc=CdE7udGqm9gQ7kNvgG_JQkr&_nc_oc=AdiAStsuPMNhVkxoU0IEq_7omvRICdbyLSLscYcYvhz3ZvSY2FBKe4Maa9beWfxh0VU&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent.fbkk17-1.fna&_nc_gid=AT0JPlYxFhXsewQBcSLGRrd&oh=00_AYCaatM4DfKFauacah_-zMO0LjJJeJ4JW05ETgDf8nKoOw&oe=67C8984B

"Proud" ... again ... after exposing all the money corruption, and then the Z interview (?), and nice to have a few guys in the WH with a set. Damn embarrassing this century, so far, with Cheney/Bush, Obama & Biden. No need to tell people I'm Canadian

Not sure I'd want to share a fox hole with a mentally unstable person. A man, thinking he's a woman, or, vise versa, just ain't playing with a full deck. What other imaginary things might they be thinking when the enemy attacks

Damn ... all them Big Macs going to waste. Hope they invited a tour group to the lunch 😎 Z should have thrown the towel in years ago, and day one. Would have saved lives & territory. NO, the idiot listened to the war mongers' lies. Oh well, you can't fix stupid. JD steppin' up. Can't wait till he's President Vance in 2028 👍
