Yes, good point. That's why places like Pattaya exist where like-minded people congregate for a certain lifestyle. Because that lifestyle does not mix well with family life. In Western countries, it's not out in the open mostly.

sleazebag club.

It's very uncomfortable in social settings when you're the only single person there. People think you're nuts and even if you're not very insecure, it does affect you. Thailand is a much better place if you want to live off the beaten path of conventional lifestyle.

I dont consider salads healthy. It's rabbit food. Dont forget to eat some protein.

I just watched a video that claims the EU will invest hundred of billions to boost its military so it doesn't have to depend on help or any alliance with the US anymore. Trump is having major ramifications on geopolitics all over the world. But to quote Shakespeare, there is nothing good or bad. Who knows what's good or what's bad? All we know is things will be different. The EU is adapting. Canada might cozy up to the EU and there even talks of Canada joining the EU.

yeah, just leave the jewellery out for the maid to take. don't invest in a safe.

The BF experience is dangerous. That's when guys start falling in love and buying them houses.

at much higher costs. also, it's not socially accepted in western countries and if you are single/divorced, you have low status in society and people think you're a loser.

has canada been driven into the ground or is that just propaganda? anyway, the UBI might be a big selling point in the coming elections. both in canada and in the US. I wonder if Trump will roll it out in the US in his presidency. I think it might be connected to that sovereign fund he created.

Sushi is over-priced everywhere in the world. Cook more at home and out less. Back home, even fast food for 2 will set you back 50 dollars these days.

Trudeau resigned, didn't he?

human beings are emotional creatures. in star trek, more advanced beings had to interfere to prevent humans and klingons from blowing up the entire galaxy.

when people's own children have been murdered, they turn barbaric. it isn't about picking sides. it's about finding a solution.

but they are ugly, aren't they?

EU investing $700 Billion into its military to protect against Russia without relying on the US?

Sorry, to be honest, I did not read your links. To quote Billy Joel, you may be right and I may be crazy. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9733127/ The application of mRNA therapies to cardiovascular diseases is virtually limitless, and ongoing work includes mRNA therapies for myocardial ischemia, heart failure, arrhythmias, hypercholesterolemia, and arterial occlusive diseases.

Trump and Putin: A New Alliance to Weaken Europe?

Actually, it's a consideration that expats in Thailand from possibly Canada and US will need to consider. But probably all Western countries will do it. Especially if you have a Thai wife and kids. Their lives might be easier in the West?

And so is the US Fed Vice-Chair ie pro-UBI, for any Americans reading this

I just googled Mark Carney. He is also pro-UBI.

The comment from Karina Gould was that she will implement a UBI within 1 year of being elected as a result of the damage the tariffs are doing to the economy (or in part because of that). But didn't read anything about Carney.

There is an article about the US invading Canada on a Canadian news site portal. Although the probability is low, according to a military expert, he doesn't entirely rule out the possibility. There was another article on Karina Gould. She said if she gets elected, she will completely reform the Employment Insurance system.

People desperately try to pretend like they understand every move these politicians make, but it's too complex. Things are so complex that every decision affects 100 other things. So any decision he makes is not easy to quantify as "good" or "bad". Because it may affect something down the line in 10 years. It's like a massive chess game. Nobody knows what he's doing or why he's doing it. He's 15 moves ahead of everyone.
