  1. It would be a folly to expect the Grifter in Chief to actually play fairly for anything.
  2. I don't know if he'll be rejected or not yet, but that's really the point. Nobody knows how DeSantis will actually play first in the primary IF he announces. There are so many historical stories like this of the heir apparent bombing once their candidacy moves from fantasy to reality. In other words, if there is someone to beat Trump for the nomination, it could easily be a number of other people.
  3. Argentina needed this. Did you know about La Abuela (granny) La La La La, the viral sensation?
  4. I started this because I'm realizing that I'm spending more than ever on such meals. While the food scene where I am (Pattaya area) isn't as great as before the pandemic, if you experiment enough the quality, variety, and value is quite excellent. If you can afford better than street food and cooking at home, I think the value is pretty incredible in the global context so it's kind of crazy not to partake liberally. Of course, it's understood that there are health reasons to limit outside food. You don't control the ingredients in outside food.
  5. Incredible match and the right team won. Yes football is boring as f sometimes but when it's incredibly exciting, you can't beat it.
  6. Guestimate of course. Includes street food of course. Includes drinks with meals but not bars. Just for you, one person. Prorate if you're paying for more people. Does not include groceries for cooking at home.
  7. He's in a rapid decline. He will LOSE at that treasonous attempt as well.
  8. The Fabelmans. Highly rated and deserving it. The semiautobiographical coming of age story of the legendary Steven Spielberg. Not for Ye people. Cowritten by Spielberg and top playwright (Angels in America) Tony Kushner. https://youtu.be/D1G2iLSzOe8
  9. I probably shouldn't share this, but the "secret" for retirement extensions is to show up at about 3:30 P.M. You likely will be sitting with an officer in 15 minutes max. Sometimes no wait at all.
  10. Many that have run are under the delusion that it will be OK to go home fairly soon. Highly doubtful but many Russians that have fled have already been forced to go home. Arguably it won't be desirable for many to EVER return and seeking asylum options is popular (not in Thailand of course). Most will need to eventually earn money -- somehow.
  11. Tripling down on the silliness. I can't believe you don’t understand that yellow used to describe human skin color is about race (or hepatitis) but used to describe objects are completely different usages. Of course yellow is also used to indicate a person is a coward which you can tell by the context. .
  12. Could be to fund him fleeing the country.
  13. There is an antiwar context to that Springsteen song that would make censorship highly unlikely. Also as I was discussing before in the US and we are talking about US songs referring to Asians as yellow may be a mild slur at most.
  14. You can pretend to not get the difference between yellow skin as a race characteristic and all your othrr category yellow references, but you aren't fooling anyone. People moaning about this very small censiorship story are wildly exaggerating the situation.
  15. Are they saying they won't bother Indonesian sex partners of tourists (also expats?) or not? Seems foggy to me.
  16. I buy so much from Lazada that I just write off 1 percent of orders that are mistakes (from me or them). In other words, I don't even bother with returns if an item is about 1,000 baht or less. Of course I would bother with a high priced item but so far that hasn't happened.
  17. Exactly. This is a private grift and has nothing to do with the campaign. The "campaign" is a sham anyway as it's obviously meant as a shield against prosecution.
  18. What does yellow indicate racially in the UK? Of course in the UK Asian mainly means South Asian while in the US South Asian people usually are not even included in Asian and are seen as another category. In the US yellow skin color does refer to Asians and Asian people there don't much like it, but I don't think it's a severe slur either. Also in the US there is "high yellow" which is a derogatory reference between black people referring to lighter skinned black people who may be putting on superior airs. Of course I don't see the point of censoring the song unless there is UK thing that I don't know about. I don't think the race of Mathis makes any difference in this.
  19. That's silly. Your yellow examples are not related to race.
  20. No. There is always corruption. It's a positive sign that they're catching some of it.
  21. I think Jesus was dark olive so of the choices in the song closest to black.
  22. Thanks for saying you like Trump at the start. No need to read after that.
