Again, he lied purely to advance his vile demonization of trans people for political gain. The claim that the Biden administration spent $8 million on "making mice transgender" is misleading. The funding was for scientific research involving hormone therapy in mice to study its effects on various health issues, not for altering the mice's gender identity.

Well I can see in your case you have good hedges against a devalued dollar. But it's obvious for many typical expats expecially retirees that remit their dollars annually for living expenses in Thailand a significant dollar decline would be a big hit.

I'll start this out with this link, but I have recently seen the same news in multiple credible sources so I believe it. Obviously this could have a major negative impact on dollar based expats as well as many businesses globally (where the impacts might be good or bad depending). It seems the only question is whether Trump succeeds in his dollar weakening goal and by how much. Please feel welcome to post additional news stories related to this topic and of course to discuss it. The intent here really isn't whether a weaker dollar is good or bad for the U.S. economy or eveb if Trump is right or wrong in wanting it. That's academic. This is an expat forum so the main focus should be impact on expats.

One other very important question. Are you on record at Fidelity as U.S. resident with a U.S. address or are you on record there as living abroad with your Thai address? Or some variation of that?

There were hormones involved in the studies but the studies were about diseases not about gender transitioning.

The article above is wrong. What Trump said actually WAS a lie. Which should surprise noboby as he lies constantly even after being corrected. That's his thing. He said the money was spent for the purpose of making mice transgender. That is not true. Trump's 'Transgender' Mice Experiments Were Cancer and Asthma Research www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-transgender-mice-medical-research-1235289439/ Trump Decried Millions Spent ‘Making Mice Transgender.’ It Was Cancer and Asthma Research The president's address to Congress included a line designed to go viral in the right-wing misinformation machine

So accounting for the issue of removing the leading 0, Fidelity actually DOES send 2FA texts to Thai cell phones?

Well Thailand isn't nearly as antisemitic as Malaysia, but maybe it's your calling to fan the flames? A Close Encounter With Asia's Anti-Semitic Capital – The Forward www.forward.com/culture/327354/a-close-encounter-with-asias-anti-semitic-capital/ On a recent stopover in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a cemented-over pile of ugly skyscrapers and canyons strewn with street beggars, I strolled through the garish Twin Towers Shopping Mall. In an underground supermarket, I passed an employee at the fish counter — a short, squat young man who stared at me with violent hatred. I looked around to see if there was anyone else he might be angry with, but no, he was focused on me with protuberant eyes and a grimace like an ungifted drama student who had been asked to project murderous rage. While there was something cinematic and false in this excessive emotion, I was glad he had no knives on hand, since I was in Malaysia, the most anti-Semitic country in Asia. Last year the Anti-Defamation League published the results of a survey indicating that 61% of Malaysians express anti-Semitic views, compared with 22% of the rest of Asia.

Why not? He bought the presidency so he's a good track record buying stuff.

Officially they say expect a wait of 6 to 8 weeks but reports generally say it's more like a month. HOWEVER, nobody knows yet who's still working at the passport office after the Musk-Doge effect. ALSO, the government may be shutting down soon. So there are some Twitter "X" factors in play that haven't been before the election.

I think the passport card is mostly for people crossing the Mexico and Canada borders frequently.

You don't mean peace. You mean Ukraine should surrender. Why doesn't Russia just leave then instead?

Straw man garbage. Try harder.

I'm for Ukraine/Zelinsky over Putin/Trump every day of the week, but this isn't a matter for the supreme court. It does highlight why Ukraine needs REAL security guarantees this time if there is going to be any real "peace" agreement with genocidal Putin (as opposed to the surrender traitor Trump is pushing). Putin if he does pause will only pause to regroup for later assaults. He's on record for intending to erase Ukraine, and much more.

Fierce! Are we sure they weren't transgenic?

Sure some people will bite. But really a tiny number compared to his big lie that the budget can be balanced selling them by the millions. Yet another stupid Trump scam that nobody with a brain should even begin to believe.

Steal your ID. Post something tempting for sale. Find victims. Play a refund gambit scam to control victim's bank accounts to drain them. If you don't know what that is, youtube is your friend. Scamming is a huge industry. If crimes are done using your ID, you might have some splaining to do.

You don't know how scammers work these days? There is no money on the public forum but there is money if people are contacted by PM and play a confidence game.

At the very least if you have a weak pwd you should change to a strong one.

Metal is for more advanced ring users, but I reckon relative to the number of times they are used in the world, such disasters are relatively rare.

Keep your boner harder and longer. Can I say that?

Yeah but they might use your aseannow ID to drain someone else's life savings via a confidence scam. People might see your ID and think you're trustworthy when they actually might be dealing with a professional scamming operation.

Via google authenticator.

Use your imagination, dude. Someone can hijack your ID and do something untoward or illegal online or by PM.

If you're gonna use metal, get them professionally fitted.
