save the frogs

Yep, spot on. And the occasional murder on Law & Crime Network features a couple who were documenting their lives on social media and pretending they had perfect lives and fooling thousands of followers. You don't see what's going on behind the camera.

yeah but nobody sees the decades of blood, sweat and tears that went into it.

How did they know he had so much bitcoin? 1 - He was bragging about it to people he thought were his friends and harmless 2 - It was ill-gained as part of a criminal gang in the first place, then the rest of the gang members turned on him ... And mostly criminals are keeping that much bitcoin anyway. Most normal people do not have so much bitcoin.

Social media is mostly an "illusion" creating fantasies. People taking photos of themselves in exotic locations. That's not real life. The women that are constantly traveling and posting pics of themselves on Instagram in exotic locations can barely keep a relationship alive, let alone raise a family properly. And all the other women are watching this thinking their lives are boring and they are missing out. Life is not meant to be a constant adventure and seeking endless thrills.

My family has driven me to near insanity. It's because people are mostly screwed up, and you can't get away from family. And they have nothing to lose by dumping their neurosis on you. But workplaces have a lot of neurosis as well, unless you're lucky to have a good job.

If you let yourself go on a perpetual downward spiral maybe, which often includes becoming a heroin addict. But most often can be managed without pharmaceutical intervention.

I see the thread about Trump's alleged "mental decline" is still going strong. Has this been mentioned on the forum at all? Trump's cozying up to Russia and China may have massive ramifications. If things go according to plan, a lot of money that is currently being spent on defense will spent on more productive things. And yet, apparently, his mental health is declining. https://www.axios.com/2025/02/13/trump-china-russia-military-spending Trump wants U.S., China and Russia to cut military spending in half

"mental disorder" is too vague. it's so abstract it can mean anything. if you've had at least one depression in your life, does it mean you have a "mental disorder"? maybe it's normal to go through depressions. also, Big Pharma is more than happy to put labels on you so they can sell you pills. also, work and life is stressful. it's the way it is. maybe if they cut down the working week, people could spend more time with their families and have less stress.

yeah but you probably come from the biggest crap-hole in europe.

never underestimate the man who's climbin' in

They dont want pedestrians. Because not owning a vehicle is not contributing to GDP. That's why it will never be too safe or comfortable for pedestrians.

I started bringing my own cooking fat to my local restaurant ie BUTTER. At first, I thought they'd laugh their asses off, but they accepted. So I ask him to fry me up a chicken breast, but I ask them to use my butter. And it's good to go. This place does chicken breasts for only 49 Baht. No need to cook with prices like that. Or try to find grilled meats. Watch out for fried foods in crappy cooking oils. Eating that daily will cause health issues. I found Prime Burger to be quite expensive. A double burger, fries, and cappuccino was over 400 Baht. I guess this place is designed for 2 week millionaire tourists. It's an occasional treat, but I can't spend 400 Baht each meal out. But damn those burgers are good. 100 times better than McDonald's. McDonald's is a scam.

If you play your cards right.

Sort out the financial situation before getting married. 21 is maybe too young for most people. Maybe in the past when everyone worked on the family farm, it was feasible to get married at that age.

Conventional doctors may not know much about it and dis-recommend it. I believe Berberine has been used in Chinese Traditional Medicine and only recently become popular in the West. There may be some TCM doctors in Thailand? Not sure ... Best of luck .

Berberine could (maybe, perhaps, possibly --- do your own research) potentially be a safer alternative to meformin. Berberine may also help prevent other illnesses as well. It's available off the shelf (iHerb). Not by prescription. Your doctor is unlikely to know what it is or recommend it. If you decide to get off metformin and try berberine, always need to research if it interacts with any other medications you are taking. Perhaps you can hire an online Naturopath for guidance if you want to go down that road. https://warnerorthopedics.com/is-berberine-a-safe-alternative-to-metformin/

take it easy. the girls are struggling for their survival. it's a hard cruel world out there with not enough good jobs for people. so sometimes things get ugly.

so we don't know why the guys started fighting?

maybe too young to get married. stress from work. cry me a river.

nordics up to no good again.

Jesus is a total a-hole if a major war has to precede his coming.

ther'es a place i started going to. i sit right next to the cook, so if they do sth crazy I can see it .... ah well .... such is life ... we cannot expect perfect cleanliness at all times what's the alternative? cook at home every day? that's exhausting ... unless you have a maid .

Keep an eye on him. You're doing a good job.

no need to cook at home in thailand. in the west, you need to be quite well off to eat out daily.
