US Considering Asylum for British Jews
You're referring to what are called VISIBLE Jews. But it's not a black and white thing. A very assimilated Jew named Goldberg will still be visible just based on the name unless the name is changed which many Jews have felt pressured to do (and much worse historically see the Spanish Inquisition) which is really unfortunate.

US Considering Asylum for British Jews
Jews should have the same immigration opportunities as others. Not limited to the USA and Israel. You seem to have a very narrow stereotypical view of what Jews are. They are not a monolith. As far as antisemitism, yes it has spiked everywhere in recent years including the USA. There is always a baseline of it but it goes up and down in waves.

US Considering Asylum for British Jews
If they're British Jews, in most caes their home is Britain. If they''re feeling Zionism strongly. they can move to Israel, which founding principle is based on the rule of return for all diaspora Jews who choose to (or need to) move to Israel.

Which vitamins, supplements, and foods for health do you take?
Oh one thing I've been weak on is getting enough fermented foods. Had some kefir yesterday and realized that. Time to stock up on kimchi I suppose. Even though I'm OK with the flavor of Norwegian sardines though I'll never love them, it has been a bit of a challenge to get enough fatty fish (sardines, mackerel, salmon). I don't think canned tuna is a very good source. I do eat walnuts daily but still need fish. I still don't trust Omega 3 supplements and my understanding is that this is among the most important things to get right for almost everybody.

US Considering Asylum for British Jews
OMG! www.npr.org/2025/01/23/nx-s1-5272406/trump-suspends-asylum So far, y'all are totally missing the point! This isn't about British Jews, per se. It's part of the maga fascist white nationalist immigration theater. Everyone else in the world banned from asylum. EXCEPT, let me check, white South Africans and now apparently British Jews. Yes even though the maga fascists harbor actual Nazis, the "mainstream" core of the maga ideology is that Jews are "white" and included with "heritage" (white) American national identity. They also point to Israel as an ethno state as well as speciously Russia as models for their ethno state nationalist aspirations for America. They're TROLLING! The humane, sensible, and actually pro American democratic values policy would be to consider all asylum cases based on individual evidence. Yes it was way too easy under Biden, but that doesn't mean the answer to that is to totally ban ALL asylum appeals except for a few trollish exceptions. Perhaps some or many British Jews would qualify under that kind of scrutiny, perhaps not, but again that is NOT the REAL issue here. Wake the flippin' up.

Which vitamins, supplements, and foods for health do you take?
Update on this. Wasted money on L Arginine. Determined it's not a good fit for me. Oh well. Wasted money on Quercetin Bromelain as I just couldn't tolerate the side effects. Oh well. Not currently taking L-Theanine. Started Creatine. Unpleasant side effects especially with upset stomach. Experimenting with empty stomach vs. meals and time of day. Started ground ginger powder. Had the idea to combine it with creatine during dinner (taken in water). So far feels promising. I eat unsweetened live culture plain yogurt often. I know Greek yogurt is better though. But it's expensive. Probably I will try Reishi mushrooms. Note that most of what I'm doing is food and teas or grey areas. Like ginger powder. I could get similar from fresh ginger but the powder is more convenient. With turmeric if I eat a meal with it, I skip the pill. A new morning routine. Tablespoon Chia seeds, teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon, vanilla extract, and teaspoon apple cider vinegar (NEW) soaked overnight. Add warm water. Drink on waking 30 minutes before breakfast. I'll probably cut out of extact. Wasted money on Quercetin Bromelain as

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2026)
The Long Walk If you're in the mood for a very very dark dystopian Stephen King adaptation. I found it compelling. The trailer is a fair representation.

How Many Days Won On AN?
I had to look it up. 108.. I reckon that an embarrassingly high number. But I could care less. I guess it's a bigger accomplishment than coercing an illegitimate Nobel Peace Prize though.

Trump Unveils 'Great Healthcare Plan' with Bold Claims
His "plan" is a farce. Insurance companies rallied on the news. It it not even remotely a replacement for Obamacare. There is zero chance it will become law. It's just a political theater stunt. Trump knows republicans will be blamed for stopping the Obamacare subsidies throwing many millions of Americans off having any insurance. So he can just lie and try to blame shift.

Best place to get passport photos done?
There is a related issue that I want to mention. My photos from the Kodak Jomtien looked fine and as said were approved by the embassy. HOWEVER, when I got the new passport the photo was very whitewashed. It shocked me actually. I searched online and found on reddit and that this has happened to other U.S. passport holders though I can't know how often. I didn't have time before my next extension to even think of asking them to do it again which I understand is free if there is a mistake on the passport (that they made). I don't know if the embassy department or the embassy would agree it was a mistake though. Anyway so far I have only used the passport at immigration and at local banks. It was accepted. However, it wouldn't shock me if it would be challenged when travelling. Again the photo itself was NOT whitewashed. So that happened with the printing. I'm white yeah but not albino.

Pattaya's Image Hit by Brazen Sale of Sex Drugs in Tourist Areas
The displaced weed merchants need to sell something. Have a heart for the brazen hussies. In my view the biggest issue is that these things are illegal so the black-market products are very low quality.

Venezuelan opposition leader presents Nobel medal to Trump
She was coerced -- mafia Don style. As said, it won't help her or the Venezuelan people either. What a DISGRACE!

Well it happened. Note he didn’t promise her anything.

Venezuelan opposition leader presents Nobel medal to Trump
I don't blame her. What choice does she have? Sucking up to Trump is her best chance to get help to further democracy in Venezuela. But it won't work of course. Trump has no interest in that. If he takes the literal medal, the Nobel people should send her another and make it very clear she is the only winner, and the one Trump has is not legit.

Ukraine is winning the war
Possible momentum shift again towards Russia. Russia's attacks on civilian energy infrastructure and the usual intentional war crime murdering of civilians is taking a big toll on Kyiv. Plus it's been an extremely cold winter. This in the context of Putin's pal Trump having limited Ukraine's air defenses. (Yes, blood on Trump's hands, but what else is new?). So Putin is trying to waar down the morale of Ukrainians in a more aggressive manner and it has the potential of working for him, Ukraine does indeed have a blueprint for victory which involves ruining oil money fueled Russia's war economy. But that won't necessarily work on time. I'm not quite there yet to shift the current winning momentum to Russia, but depending on developments in the following weeks, may get there.

Ukraine is winning the war
If you look at the context behind your editing, they are saying the same thing. But what else to expect from a poster who doubles down on disingenuous sleaze. You are not entertaining, More like a persistent tiny buzzing mosquito in an ear. Look dude -- if you believe that Russia will win this war and that Ukraine never had any chance against Russia, you indeed may end up being right on the former, but you're obviously wrong on the latter,

Ukraine is winning the war
Russia invaded Ukraine. That was Putin's choice. Ukraine defends itself against being erased by Putin. Not really a choice if they want to remain a sovereign nation. Both are losers? Well yes both have taken massive losses. War is hell. Why is there war there? PUTIN. Yes I stand by the assertion that those who have said that Russian winning is INEVITABLE have been infected with Kremlin propaganda. Of course I have meant what I wrote. It's you that insists on playing SLEAZY games. Winning is not the same meaning as will win.. I'm happy for you that you think your insipid poppycockery of a response makes you happy. I suggest you actually read the topic first before continuing with your sleazy silliness.

Oh no! -- It's curtains for local expat favorite hotmeals2u.com
Speaking of Tigglebitties, you can get the same or similar dishes as hotmeals2u at their restaurant. As far as I know, not on a delivery app though. They still list hotmeals2u on their FB page. www.facebook.com/tigspattaya/ 584/38 Soi 17 Moo 10 South Pattaya, Pattaya, Thailand, 20150

Oh no! -- It's curtains for local expat favorite hotmeals2u.com
They had a great market. I'm curious to know how many years they were serving. I think at least ten years and maybe much more. Does anyone know? I do know a little background on what probably led to this sad outcome. They had been for all these years operating as a delivery restaurant connected to Tigglebitties. However, in recent months for reasons I don't know. Tigglebitties separated from them. They had to open in a new location, set up a new kitchen, and probably had staffing issues related to the big change as well. I reckon the closing wasn't about not having a market, they clearly had a market, but rather some kind of business structure related issues.

Oh no! -- It's curtains for local expat favorite hotmeals2u.com
RIP -- hotmeals2u,com and best of luck to the owners and staff from there. Well loved by mostly North American local expats, hotmeals2u,com has served comforting and reasonably priced American and Americanized Mexican favorites as a delivery only restaurant for many years. But sadly that's over now. First clue was their ordering website stopped taking orders all this week, and the software behind that noted that the restaurant had been removed. Then a search confirmed the worst (on Facebook) -- Perhaps people want to share their memories about exeriences with this service, their favorite dishes, etc.
