save the frogs

activated charcoal tablets. they bind to any poisons in the stomach and the poison will be flushed out. if it's some type of food poisoning causing the problem. i don't think the activated charcoal will cause any issues if it's sth else causing your problem. disclaimer: for entertainment purposes only. always seek the advice of a qualified health practitioner

he said he wants to chat about films, books, philosophy. it's not necessary. you just need someone you feel comfortable being around.

lol

I broke up with an asian girl when I was younger for similar reasons. Looking back, there was no need to break up. You can satisfy any intellectual interests on your time by reading, etc ... You can talk to male friends, you can join discussion groups online to discuss your interests. That's not what a relationship partner is necessarily for. In fact, if you talk about too many complex topics, you might end up arguing a lot.

yes, and that's not good for businesses as credit card companies charge business high fees for each use. you may want to be more considerate to small business owners and pay debit or cash for tiny transactions.

when traveling it's better to withdraw money from ATMs and pay cash. so shady vendors don't get hold of your credit card number. WISE was set up for travel and/or digital nomads and freelancers who do online work and get paid in different currencies. WISE debit card doesn't charge exorbitant ATM fees at international ATMs like bank debit cards. also, can load the card with different currencies, so you don't lose on the exchange rates. but if there's higher risk of fraud as some have pointed out, then it's not worth it.

sorry, i need to ask. is this a thread or a cult? you guys found your little corner of the forum to operate your cult? nobody cares what terms you like or don't like.

Forget the comment about 8 year olds. Karma may be complex / nuanced ... and different people may interpret it differently. A few people on here have already offered up some good definitions. Do we need to turn this into a competition of definitions? I just didn't like Tippaporn's comments where he dismissed the concept entirely with what to me appears to be mumbo jumbo. As long as people are discussing it, it's good. Tippaporn completely dismissed it. I think it's better if people discuss it. Sorry, I'm taking a break from this thread. I might check in once a week or so. The comments and discussions here are interesting, but I don't have time to respond.

I don't think I was being rude. I was just offering a suggestion. India, which is not too far from Thailand, has Ayurvedic practitioners. If I was in a similar position to OP, I might take a trip there. Without knowing much about Ayurvedic medicine in India, I wonder how many treatments expats in Thailand could go there for and pay less than private hospital care in Thailand? But I guess I'm ruffling a lot of feathers here. I'm guessing you are personally offended because you have a background in conventional medicine and you don't appreciate it when people suggest that conventional medicine has limitations.

haha. sorry, the comment i made about 8 year olds was hasty. i'm tired and I can't address all these posts right now. to quote terminator, i'll be back.

but it isn't. and they don't. if you remove those nonsensical ideas that some fake guru planted in your head. then we can work from there. you seem to have fallen prey to all sorts of abstract nonsensical spiritual mumbo jumbo that doesn't serve anyone. except possibly your own ego. as people become entangled in ever more complex mumbo jumbo, they pat themselves on the back for figuring out sth too complex for the average mind. but it's just mumbo jumbo. often the simple elegant theories are the right ones. karma is fairly simple. an 8 year old can understand it.

they're based in the US. so i don't think there should be any concern about quality?

it is. it's both.

I just watched this video .... Do humans have souls? by Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder She concludes by saying "in principle, it should be possible to upload your entire identity to a computer". I don't think scientists have the same notion of "soul" as the other folks who believe in the soul do. And this seems to be where science wants to lead us ... to upload us to computers. Scary stuff? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XovfK-IGbtw

Fast food restaurant meals are high in: - processed carbs - processed sugar - seed oils (the unhealthy fats) All 3 of these contribute to poor health.

so do you still have your pants on? or are they wrapped around your ankles?

never tried it, but heard laser treatment doesn't always work

the wife-beater bar?

good post, Neeranam. i tend to agree. and i've experienced it enough myself to know.

"sitting in the living room watching netflix all day while the in-laws diss them ..." paints a bleak picture of life in the boonies.

higher self just seems like another word for god to me. we all have higher impulses and lower impulses. we dont always act on our higher impulses. some people dont seem to make any effort to act on their higher impulses.

the comic strips are not meant to make fun of anyone's comments, by the way.
