save the frogs

the title is a bit misleading? seems like this is mostly about altering the culture of over-work.

diving instructors ... might some of these deaths be accidents? https://scubadiverlife.com/health-issues-for-dive-instructors/ humans are not made to breathe underwater, so every time a diver descends, he is completely dependent upon his equipment, skills and emergency training to ensure that he surfaces safely.

exactly. never understood the machete revenge tactic in thailand. just find 2 younger ones.

and in many cases also to prove that they can dominate one. power is better than sex.

there are no beaches in bangkok.

I don't remember. Just stumbled on it online. You need to believe anything from a random stranger online.

Spot on. Good post. I came across a magazine that was aimed at teens persuading teens to perform sex change surgery. And the selling point was it would give them "an identity" or sth. There are folks out there who are preying on and manipulating vulnerable and confused teens.

one girl i met in the bars said she started doing that work because her boyfriend cheated on her .... with (drum roll) ... a ladyboy.

it's a professional looking web site. so it must be fact-checked, right? thanks, i learned 2 new words today - ze and hir Ze has an appointment today. I will take hir to the exam room.

If I had a child who wanted to undergo surgery for a sex change, I wouldn't be thrilled. As far as complete strangers, I have no emotional attachment to anything they do.

It has been concluded that we are living in a computer simulation run by a pimple-faced teen who smokes pot all day.

good point. alcohol never gets a bad rap in the media compared to cannabis

no, not all the specifics. it's not a phd, just informal research. just horsing around.

I'm keeping track of all the violent incidents and mysterious deaths involving alcohol.

nonsense as there is no way to measure the happiness level of an individual, let alone an entire nation

lol.

the liver is over-rated dont worry about it

alcohol

Anyone want to help me make "SAY NO TO DRUGS" T-Shirts?

If I've been too much of an ahole, I really do apologize. But I have just watched a video with a sound recording of Yogananda. And I stand by my original statements. I am 100% convinced based on what he says and how he says it ... the way he speaks ... the tone of his voice ... .... that this man was a fraud, a charlatan, and a cult leader. He has all the classic characteristics of a cult leader. I am not following this thread anymore. Title of video on Youtube: PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA - THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

I'm not posting any more nor reading any more replies. I think I'm disrupting the flow of the conversation too much and maybe deterring other posters from participating.

Here is a Tweet about Yogananda:

It's debatable whether the other 20 quotes that came before that one are excellent or mostly more nonsense. Which I will NOT debate. Because it's highly subjective anyway. Art is a perfect analogy. You could literally put paint on your butt cheeks, sit on a canvas, wiggle around, and someone might think it's a masterpiece and pay 20 million dollars for it. It's not just about the quotes. Anyone can say anything that sounds ok or makes reasonable sense. But it's the overall "vibe" you get from the person uttering the quotes. And it's the comparison with other people who have uttered things that are more useful. But the good news is that I am getting tired of criticizing "your gurus". This is exhausting.

ok, fair enough.

I was joking when I asked you to provide a link. I stated a FACT - that transgenders undergo surgical procedures. You're denying that surgery is involved? My little conspiracy is that medical folks enjoy lining their pockets with these surgeries. Please don't reply. I don't care what you think.
