Boredom is one issue. Feeling isolated is another. This guy from Ireland says he feels like he is losing his mind sometimes in Thailand.

My comment: You can't see the forest for the trees

someone just commented in the elephant article that most people's responses lacked empathy. hope that helps with your survey.

This continuous pressure on elephants’ bodies can deteriorate the tissue and bones on their back, causing irreversible physical damage to their spines. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/thailand-elephant-ride-abuse-intl-hnk/index.html

He says "you can see the guide trying to catch up on foot." Could he have walked any more slowly? He wasn't making much effort to catch up at all.

Is there an interaction more useless than the forced uncomfortable interaction with a taxi driver?

Everything you wanted to know about cholesterol but were afraid to ask ... Are you guys too cool for school or are you up for an educational video? It's the first time I've seen cholesterol explained this way ... and she does use a diagram which is helpful to understanding. Dr. Boz explains why she doesn't prescribe statins. She differentiates between LDL in circulation and LDL stuck in the arterial wall. She says the statins lower the LDL levels in circulation, but it's the LDL in the arterial wall that can cause a heart attack. LDL 1 - Not associated with heart attack - Increased by eating saturated fat - Lowered by statins LDL 2 (the one stuck in the arterial wall) - Causes heart attack - Increased by eating processed carbs - Not lowered by statins This video is mind-blowing!

he claims he needs money to purchase food and "water". Seriously, who needs money for water?

A mod? Wow man. That's some wild conspiracy right there. He hasn't posted in 48 hours, so maybe he did get on a plane to Tokyo.

I'm actually worried about the guy. His last thread was hinting at needing to be frugal by living off of olive oil. Then he decides to move out of Thailand to a higher cost country. Very odd.

Vodka is a very deceptive drink. You can’t taste it, you can’t smell it. – Dylan Moran I drink too much. Last time I gave a urine sample there was an olive in it. – Rodney Dangerfield

Yeah, but that's the game that's being played on the roads. The SUV drivers would rather you die than them, for obvious reasons. How do you solve this problem? Force everyone to buy the same size vehicle?

There's a reason a lot of people buy giant SUVs. Because they are the biggest vehicles on the road and the safest.

video is too long. I don't have time to watch it. but I watched the first couple of minutes. he's talking about how we are moving towards the end of capitalism and into post-capitalism. yes, it seems to be true. I've heard other people talk about that. I met a guy who wrote a book about that. and the WEF motto "you will own nothing" alludes to some sort of post-capitalism. but way too complex for me to get into now. toodles.

Not watching it. Clickbait overly dramatic title and I've seen some videos with that guy Yanis. He's smart, but I don't trust most of what he says.

is this your halloween thread, bob?

There is a risk that your health will deteriorate when you work too much. Future generations may work a lot less and retire much earlier with AI doing the heavy lifting. But then they will need to learn how to "survive". Too much free time could lead to drug abuse, etc...

Gen Z people faking mental disorders on TikTok Or maybe some of them are not faking?

looks like all your threads have a hidden agenda of some sort.

No the Universe is sentient. But it's beyond the scope of this forum. The topic is Thailand.

Here is a silly karma comment. There's a man that just killed his 6 yr old son. Of course actions like that produce serious karma. Nothing silly about it.

The fast food inside the hospitals and bad dietary advice keeps you dependent on the medications and the for-profit medical system. Not just in Thailand. The West too.

Animal foods high in cholesterol are not the problem. Processed carbs are the problem because they elevetate triglyceride levels.
