  1. RIP to an actually GREAT American.
  2. Not to defend Trump, but Trump knows he created a big mess and clearly wants a way out of this war. But both Israel and Iran don't want it to stop. Israel wants to make Iran a failed state and Iran wants revenge. Trump just stopping doesn't mean Iran will open up the Stait.
  3. The way Trump and Netanyahu carried out this war has been shambolic but that is no reason to defend the Iranian regime. Horribly oppressive internally, and sponsors of terrorism internationally for decades. Not everything is black and white, is it?
  4. Well, here are the approximate current levels for both temporary and permanent. You can do by income OR show money. The money doesn't need to be in Mexico and can even be in a retirement account like 401K. Temporary is still very good. It automatically leads to permanent after about 5 years. To qualify for legal residency in Mexico in 2026, you must demonstrate economic solvency through a minimum monthly net income of around $4,400 USD or savings/investments of approximately $74,000 USD. These amounts may vary slightly by consulate and are based on updated guidelines using UMAs (Unidad de Medida y Actualización) as of July 2025. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/ip3/www.mexperience.com.ico mexperience.comhttps://external-content.duckduckgo.com/ip3/www.cheapestdestinationsblog.com.ico cheapestdestinationsblog.com Financial Requirements for Mexican Residency in 2026Overview of Residency TypesResidency Type Monthly Income Requirement Savings Requirement Temporary Residency $4,400 $74,000 Permanent Residency $7,322 $292,859
  5. Supporters of terrorist Ali Khamenei. Enough said.
  6. He got temporary residency there actually at that financial level. Can convert to permanent in about five years.
  7. Panama is on my list yes but logistically speaking staying in Asean would be easier.
  8. Though I'm still working on figuring it out, personally the tax change is the most significant factor for me now considering leaving for the Philippines. Probably not, but I'm even considering part time in Thailand just under the 180 days.
  9. Expanding on the topic that twinks are largely a white thing. Before this topic, I hadn't ever thought about that before, but it's clearly true. Black twinks are less common in popular culture and media due to the intersection of racial stereotypes and the portrayal of masculinity, which often excludes black men from the twink identity. This is influenced by the historical myth of the hypersexual black male, leading to a lack of representation and recognition in the twink category.
  10. He is very impulsive and often contradicts himself in the same sentence. That such a man holds such power should be concerning to everyone.
  11. For an entertaining look at the subject of conversion to Judaism in mixed marriages in cases where the very religious Jewish partner (in this case a rabbi) kind of needs that to happen, check out Nobody Wants This:
  12. Yeah as far as Zionism there are MASSIVELY more Christian Zionists in the world than either all Jews or Jewish Zionists.
  13. Where did you get the IDIOTIC idea that I support Trump's policy on Israel?!? I think you just lied and made it up to TROLL.
  14. How can this not impact the situation of Americans abroad? www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a70790567/united-states-reputation-falls-democracy-trump/ We Are Hated as a Nation. There’s One Man to Blame.When talking with a new friend from Ireland, I was dismayed to discover just how far America’s reputation has fallen. After this week’s news, it all makes sense.
  15. And to you that somehow proves what is quite obviously NOT true. Trump not born a Jew. FACT Trump never converted to Judaism. FACT Trump clearly not a religious man in any way. OPINION You're playing a hateful game of Jew baiting. Fooling nobody.
  16. The public usually calls this the gay Golden Girls. However, the show's creators say that is not what they intended. Either way, it's surprisingly entertaining, has some really great actors, and sometimes is even moving. Mid-Century Modern
  17. So you mean all Jews. Just be a man and say it. Trump is not a Jew and Trump as president of the United States is responsible for his own actions. Agreed Netanyahu pressured him. He did the same to multiple previous presidents. But none before Trump were so stupid and weak as to fall for that. Reminds me somewhat of how Trump seems to worship Putin.
  18. Trump being the world's top expert in corruption and criminality.
  19. Them? Who is them? You're so shy. So you're promoting yet another conspiracy theory. Of course any president can say no. But this president is a weak loser.
  20. For multiple reasons, I've recently become more interested in trading in Thailand for the Philippines. One thing that's impossible not to notice about the culture of expats there is the seeming institutionalization of the expectation that expats are going to get romantically involved with a Filipina. Well and good I suppose if you can avoid marriage, as alas marriage in Philippines locks you in as divorce is (mostly) illegal there. Contrast this to the social expectations for GAY expats. Well, I don't know very much at all about that, but I do know that in Catholic church dominated Philippines legalization of same sex marriage is not anything to expect to happen. So in spite of the homophobia that exists there (clear to me it's more severe than in Thailand) advantage to gay expats as they can't possibly get trapped into marriage. If you happen to have insight into the social situation for gay expats there, please comment. No, I'm not take about nightlife or bars, but more about the level of homophobia and expectations.
  21. A certain people? Don't be shy. What people? As far as Netanyahu snookering moron Trump into this war, suppose he did try. Does any president of the United States have agency to say NO! Previous U.S. presidents faced the same kind of games from Netenyahu. Yet they said NO! So blaming who you're blaming (you're fooling nobody) is total B.S. The blame is on Trump.
  22. That's your prerogative. Myself, I have no desire to understand cricket.
  23. What specifically about it didn’t work for you?
