I'm all for representation of LGBTQ people in all kinds of entertainment media, but when I heard the news of bisexual Superman, it occurred to me that this isn't good for the gays. Superman Bisexual: Jon Kent Comes Out - Variety Superman is an international icon. Why is he bisexual, and not just gay? If you're going to go there, why the ambiguity? Sure bisexuals exist but in homophobic societies declaring yourself as bi is a transparent hedge. I remember as a kid when Elton John came out as bi and it was a very big deal, yeah sure, he's bi, that's the ticket. What about the international backlash? It's already started in anti-gay / anti western propaganda media coming from Russia, which represents a lot of other countries that are going backwards with LGBTQ civil rights issues. Superman as bisexual is surely good for getting free publicity, but is it really good for actual LGBTQ people in most of the world? I think it's the opposite. So thanks but no thanks.

Lube is illegal? Better tell Boots.

The renewal detail is important as 60k is real money and if you do need to show it more than one time for even one renewal based on bank cash thats not trivial. The income method is similar to Thailand except lower requirement and must be imported with no embassy letter option for any nationality. The irony is you can live decently in Thailand for 1000 a month but not Costa Rica. If it was based on basic cost of living Thailand's income requirement should be lower and Costa Rica higher.

All 3 major vaccines as good as each other.
Jingthing replied to mommysboy's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
AZ also has the advantage of not being an mRNA vaccine for the large segment of populations that don't trust mRNAs because they're perceived as too new or scary. Speaking of new, traduced is a new word to me and that's not scary. -
It won't.

Whats the baddest thing you have done ?
Jingthing replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Really? You still feel bad? That reminds me that I never stole PAPER money from my parents but my Dad was constantly leaving loads of quarters in his chest of drawers and I picked those up very often. Never taking ALL of them of course. They really added up. We never spoke of it and it never occurred to me to wonder if he knew I was doing that or not. Now I'm wondering. For example, why did he even have so much change in quarters? Did he have a secret vending machine business? -

I think there are two kinds of bad. Badness as defined under the law, and badness in your own ethical estimation. Under the law, I won't post about. Based on my own criteria, it was betraying a coworker sort of friend who was madly and blindly in love with a Mexican muchacho who he had personally imported (and delusionally thought it was monogamous and true love), but his Mexican lover threw himself at me, I couldn't resist, and I didn't tell the coworker. Of course he found out and I never felt like such a cad in all my life. There was no excuse or apology that would have been adequate. He was crushed. A good and ethnical friend would have resisted and spilled the beans about the not so perfect Mexicano, -
Had two AZ jabs. Is Moderna booster a good idea?
Jingthing replied to Cutty Shark's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
I don't think most people need to consult with a doctor about this unless they have an unusual medical condition. Otherwise if you're older and or have common high risk conditions such as obesity just book a booster if you can. -

Jingthing replied to Cutty Shark's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
You can also use Astra Zenica as a booster after two Astra Zenica shots (if you could get it). After about six months, I'm open to different options for boosters but will definitely seek it out. -

Obviously not the only one but your loss. I don’t get grouping Letterman with Larru David's shows though.
