Waiiiit a minute. We live in Thailand. Where the average local could not reliably pick Trump out of a police line up. Where casual sexism abounds, where a lot of the men are a little in the fem side. Why this mania about wokeness etc. that will never touch us? Shut up and enjoy your coconut shake.

Uh, totally fake. Watch the debunk video. just what won’t TrumpTrash believe? Not much.

I’ve tuned out. I’ll reengage when he gets buried in his fraud case (or not, that tune out thing), and again for his defamation trouncing. And of course, for his doomed March traitor trial. But until then and in between, he’s gone dull, whiney, and very repetitious. His hat wearing goons are just retard losers hoping for a little attention. Hard pass. Even anti vaccine idiot skeptic’s get shown the door fast these days. We tossed someone out of our condo recently for telling us to do our own research. If he wins, my attitude will be that the young didn’t show and deserve the drubbing they will get in spades. And then I’ll tune out even more. If Biden wins, it will just be dull competency and the usual Repub stonewalling with nothing else to offer, so I’ll largely tune out in that case as well. As my fave Repub loon, Anne Colter, says, Trump killed off a lot of his old retard base with Covid. Sweet. Dems have added 3M new voters, and the repeal of Roe will bleed him dry in the suburbs. Just not enough toothless old Gomers that he somehow failed to convince to drink bleach in the sticks to counteract that. So the election will likely not be the nailbiter that sells ad space for the media. Call that tune out lite.

I just booked my first ever $500 a night hotel room. The Sala in Koh Samuel. 4 nights. I am too young for don’t buy any green bananas, but too old not to worry about leaving money on the table for my dubious relatives post mortem. Most old people with a little bit of money are much thriftier than they need to be. They move well beyond security and into neurosis. Every financial planner agrees. Like my fave poster, Kuhn La, I have a heart attack fund, and also 2 years expenses in the bank, like my other fave poster, Laceset. Beyond that, there is no material difference to my life if I let more pile up or if I order the 2 kilo crabzilla at Ministry of Crab (about $300 with a bottle of white). I have done enough charitable good deeds in my life. I could kill a nun with an ice pick and still go to heaven. At this point, it’s time to order the crabzilla. They only get in about 2 a day. So if you want one, go early. Someone after me was bummed that they were sold out. Sweet.

Skim my posts, I did it to death. Short version: the room is more expensive, they’re practically giving the food away. Bangkok Hospital just opened a branch in Vientiane, so an oldie might now consider it.

What if you reinvent yourself and nobody cares?

It’s more like a next life reward. Stop being so impatient.

Another grievious injustice: After a year+ of living like a macrobiotic monk, am I more energetic, having better poops, sleeping better, happier? Have I ever enjoyed "the burn" post-gym? No. I can claim a small bump in self-esteem in that I'm taking care of myself responsibly. I can drag two 8-packs of big water bottles up 24 steps without stopping. If I can think of a third thing, I'll ping back here. Men's Health Magazine lied to me. I was gullible at the "she's only a cashier"-level. For example, post 65, weight lifting 3 times a week does less for you than 2 times a week, due to the need for old-guy recuperation. If you do yoga and weights, they both do a little bit less for you than if you did one full-on. Health is a funnel that can only handle so much input at one time. Past 70, that funnel definitely narrows. Be self-loving, pragmatic, and realistic. I'm at the gym these days to stay out of managed care, not to be more appealing to women. The only other thyroid advice I have is to take rest when you need it, for as long as you need it. Maybe learn some relaxation-breathing techniques if you're a bit Type A. It's not just the quantity of the rest, but also the quality. Learn what deep rest feels like. You already know what extraordinary fatigue feels like. Joe Rogan (who I hate worse than Satan) said that you should envision that you have X number of energy units a day and you should strategize to use them optimally. For Thyroid people, that goes double.

Much empathy for your health issues. My anecdotal experience and internet reading tells me that thyroid problems like mine (100 msg of Euthrox a day) make it hard to lose weight and easy to gain it. It's discouraging that a year of gym-going and alcohol and carb restriction has resulted in only 7 kilo's lost -with progress at a standstill now for a while. The life-change that was sold to me by ripped abs male models in Men's Health Magazine is proving elusive. With calories as low as your's are, squeezing in more protein is hard. I try to pick wisely and abet my diet with a protein shake a day from 7/11, which I sort of regard as my dessert quotient -I haven't had a beloved mango and sticky rice in a year. Problem: protein is always very low in fiber, so I eat a small serving of pineapple a day. I guess that's 2 "bad" desserts a day. So shoot me. I hope you get a good response here because the thyroid blues is a common problem with no easy solutions.

This attitude guarantees doom. There was a famous book called The Road To Serfdom. Your's is The Road to Simp-dom. The guys here who ended up in happy Thai-deals all say the say the same thing: Don't buy the first banana you see at the market. Get over here, check out all of the banana's. 95% of the misery tales here stem from disaterous banana one-itis.

Why not reach out to people here who are local to you? I've met 2 in Chiang Mai, I'll meet up with another couple I've exchanged PM's with eventually. It would be helpful to broaden your criteria from "must want to talk about what I want to talk about" to "amiable, interesting person who seems to have gotten himself some sort of life". Your age requirement is another self-limiter.

Jah accent is just about the hardest accent to fake. Black Brit-Jamaican accent is like posh-Rasta compared to a cane cutter, bongo beater in the Jah-mountains. I went to 8 Nottinghill Carnivals in a row. Dub Poet, Linton Kwesi Johnson has a good brit-Jah accent, as did Jah brit poet laureate Benjamin Zephariah (died recently). As did the Levi guy who won on Shark Tank with his Reggae Reggae Sauce. Just like very white-ish black people like Obama can slip into jive talk when it suits them, English-Jamaican people are ready to channel Bunny Wailer at the drop of a hat. Certainly, Joe Strummer had the most egregious fake English Jamaican accent. I saw The Clash in Montego Bay and the Jamaican people couldn't understand him. They were there for YellowMan anyway. Here he is absolutely murdering The Harder They Come: But Tom Hanks's son has taken the bad Jamaican accent as far as it can really go: https://globalnews.ca/video/6372128/tom-hanks-son-questioned-for-speaking-patois-on-golden-globes-red-carpet -Nick, can we hear more about the pedo insinuations? Let's not let this mod-lite era go to waste.

I'm making fun of your border stuff comments. Then I pointed out that an educated brit like you would hate the actual Trumpies on the ground. But you'r too drunk to get the joke. So just put your head down on the bar mat and rest.

I've been to a lot of the border towns. Bleak. And Trumpy. Effete well-travelled tories like yourself would be miserable. Do you love cammo as a look? And in Bleak Trumpland (which is 95% of it -think of a white Haiti), a border agent job is a ticket to owning a doublewide trailer. They need a permanent immigration crisis. Their inbred cousin needs a job.

As per above, Judge Gorsich wrote an opinion about this 10 years ago. He said the states decide, period. Decide what? Decide if someone can be denied being put the ballot if they are "constitutionally prohibited". He didn't say a court judge decides after a trial. He didn't say The Supreme Court decides. He said the state decides. And they did, citing Gorsich in their decision. So if Gorsich switches sides -or The Supremes just take a hachet to state's rights to please Trump, that's opening up another several cans of worms And for what? To placate Fatty? That's how we ended up in this current mess in the first place. Good quick Gorsich overview (fact or factoid?) https://www.rawstory.com/trump-ballot-supreme-court-2666839573/

Fake electors and hiding documents are slam dunk felonies.

As usual: We'll make allowances and blow Fattie (again) He'll feel more emboldened to go even more nuts (again) This will lead to another "only him in the history of the entire world"-problem (again). -Rinse and repeat until he dies.

Dimwit alert: Only a real Mensa member says factoid. I went down a google hole reading about factoids (because he can't). Factoid means things that are trivial or untrue. Not: Facts I don't liiiiike.

You can't google was Trump told he lost? Is this a paraplegic situation preventing you? Because if so, I want to toss $5 of chump change into your GoFund Me.

Time for an emergency congress session to amend the amendment. No prob -except for how to make it work only for Fatty but not for a democrat up the road? And constitutional amendment in an election year -no prob again, right? The ball is already and play so the old rules must apply. The old rules are only a problem for Fatty; because of Fatty. I say, tough luck, Fatty. What would Fatty say to you if the rules were going against you? What's the plausible Biden insurrection case? There's no states rights-right to give anyone the heave ho just because they don't like their face. People here are pretending there is -and then hilariously making vacuous and impotent threats against laughing in their faces-Biden. Dream on, losers, your dope failed at his coup. And now he has to pay.

He knew he lost the election. He was told 57 times. By lawyers. He knew he inciting an insurrection. He was advised to put in the part about "peacefully march". By lawyers. He now finds himself in a position where "peacefully march" may not be enough. He has since given "aid and comfort" to people who WERE convicted of insurrection -including promising them pardons. As per his advice from lawyers. He knew his phony elector thing was illegal. He was told 57 times. By lawyers. He was asked by Jack Smith: Are you going to use a bad legal advice defense? He says he doesn't know, like his lawyers told him to say.

Yeah, thanks for that. It will amount to the same thing, but it is indeed not the same thing.

Just for Laughs: You get a choice of a Red State or a Blue State vacation, all expenses paid. You can pick: Alabama, Texas, Florida -OR: New York, California, Maine. -As a lover of all things Red, you want to go to Alabama instead of New York, right?

Evidence was presented, insurrection was found. Was there a trial? No. 14th Amendment doesn't specify any need. Repubs LOVE states rights when it comes to their pet issues like abortion and control. This is a states rights issue that is biting them on the ass. Neil Gorsuch wrote an opinion years ago affirming that states rights are untouchable. Do states have the right to regulate their elections? The Constitution says yes. In my heart and head, I believe that Trump should be told to pound sand on these issues (immunity too). My pragmatic self tells me that won't happen due to fearfully placating whiny Trump Trash and their always shifting (when he's losing) game posts. We are subverting the constitution as written to assuage the fee-fee's of people who crow about liberal tears -and don't care one whit about what the constitution says -if it doesn't go their way. So even having this conversation about just exactly how much we're going to bend the written in stone rules for a bully who has never given an inch to the other side is proof that Trump has already won. Interesting wrinkle: The Supremes wink at Diaper Boy and give him a pass on insurrection but not on immunity (most likely outcome). Jack Smith then finds him guilty of insurrection. What about all those states who already called it and were disenfranchised if (I mean when) The Supremes overturn them?

I don't feel that we have enough warm bodies left still posting in this little internet backwater to ignore anyone. Also: after porn, laughing at idiots is why the internet was invented. I'm on a 30 day marijuana-fast. I'm hoping to dodge the increased clarity-bullet. Clarity -never exactly a pretty picture.
