Are you so conceited that you need to make a topic about Trump, all about you? The point is Trump's definition of dating. Perhaps his included "grabbing 'em by the pussy!"

It's what you posted. Can you explain it to me? TIA. -
Pai's Big Bust: 7 Tourists Nabbed for Public Cannabis Use
SMIAI replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai
That's what you posted. Are you now saying that it is incorrect? How would you explain just 817 in the whole of 2024? -
That is HOUSEHOLD income, not SALARY per person. Not quite what you asserted earlier. Let's see how you try to wriggle out of that one.

817 Israelis in the whole of 2024 , but 3034 in just two months of 2025. 😊 -
Please explain the term "changed out" and the context in which they can do so. Provide examples if you can.

What is an oligarchy? Like many of the academic and scientific categories we still use today, oligarchy was originally defined by the Greek philosopher Aristotle. Understand how AI is changing society Get our newsletter In The Politics, he argued people are “political animals”, social by nature, and instinctively want to live in a community. He studied different governments of the ancient world and concluded there were six essential types. A state could be ruled by a single leader, a small group of elites, or through mass participation of the people. If the leadership acted in the common advantage (koinê sumpheron), he termed these constitutions to be monarchy, aristocracy or polity, respectively. If the constitutions became corrupt and the leadership acted only to advance their own self-interest, he labelled them tyranny, oligarchy and democracy. https://images.theconversation.com/files/643083/original/file-20250116-15-ljuly8.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=754&fit=clip The School of Athens painted by Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, 1511. Aristotle is depicted centre right. Wikimedia Commons So for Aristotle, an oligarchy is a corrupt form of government. It is when power is in the hands of a small group of elites who advance their own interests rather than the common good. In Aristotelian terms, democracy is also a corrupt form of government in which the majority uses its power to abuse minorities. While the term democracy has been rehabilitated and is usually seen as a positive, the word oligarchy has retained its negative connotations. When the United States was created, the founding fathers looked back to Aristotle, Polybius, Cicero and other ancient thinkers to try and create the best kind of constitution. https://theconversation.com/what-is-an-oligarchy-and-is-the-united-states-poised-to-become-one-247566

Deflection and whatabout ism. The creep in this case, is Trump. How much are they paying you?
-
He DID say this: I guess when you've no moral compass yourself, this kind of behaviour would seem harmless to you. When you buy your wives and they don't really love you, I guess there is no real love within the family either. Dysfunctional.

Mind control.. Bitter old men posting their hatred for their life and circumstances are the useful fools. The common theme is the hatred.

British Tourist Knocked Out by Pattaya Club Bouncer
SMIAI replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Not true. The pushing shoving match may have been an attempt to stop the issue between himself and the guard. The guard then removed his uniform and beckoned the old man to meet him around the corner. -

No, it didn't. It showed the guard, after removing his uniform, inviting the old man to fight in the alleyway away from the club. -

Did you see him push anyone? That doesn't really match with the bouncer's claim that the senior kicked him in the groin. -

I'm not so sure about your choice of statistics and they certainly do not match with reports on the ground. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/tourism/2025/03/01/pai-a-small-town-of-happiness-a-must-for-travelers/ Your claim of 817 is clearly ridiculous. -
First post eh? 😊 Can you post the source of your figures?

Did Trump bring shame upon the US with his Zelensky lecture?
SMIAI replied to spidermike007's topic in Political Soapbox
Thank you for demonstrating your usefulness to the campaign. As if none of those things are taking place elsewhere or are not suppressed. Your bitterness with life is showing. -

SMIAI replied to spidermike007's topic in Political Soapbox
It's sad that you are actually a real person. Look at the bigger picture. "We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within" Do you think all of this vitriol and hatred is normal? This is part of a campaign. The ones who would resist against the ones in cahoots. The rest is just smoke and mirrors. People like yourself are just regarded as useful fools. -
I would like to remind you of the words of Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev: "We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within" He bragged about manipulating the 1960 presidential election, as he wanted JFK to win, as he thought he would be a weaker adversary than Nixon. He even claimed to have told JFK, "You know, Mr Kennedy, we voted for you" Part of Khrushchev's tactics were to spread conspiracy theories and smear campaigns against foreign leaders and their integrity in order to unravel rival societies. What we see here is the result. Putin is schooled in these tactics and we see a lot of that even on this forum. Perpetuating lies using denials, what about isms, distraction, re-directing... We rarely see any serious discussion here. Mainly Trolls.

What are you talking about? What videos and what needs to be "changed out"?
-
32GB would be even better. But it will be fine with 8GB. People tend to repeat stuff parrot fashion with no real understanding of what they are talking about. Minimum requirement for Windows 11 is 4GB of RAM. 8GB is adequate for everyday usage.

Marco Rubio Demands Apology from Zelensky After Heated Oval Office Clash
SMIAI replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Why would he? They aren't stupid. They recruit people with whom they can do business. If you aren't willing to do business with a 'cabal/country' that consider themselves a great power, things happen. Information is created against you and they try to get rid of you, in order to install someone with whom they can do business. People swallow it because they don't have the time to analyse what is going on and are too busy with their lives to do anything about it anyway. The people who do protest are labelled troublemakers and portrayed in a bad light. The masses are lied to time and time again, whilst those in power do deals on their behalf under the umbrella of lies. That's why all this painting one side or the other as evil is just rank stupidity. They do that to distract you, but grab the spoils for themselves. Whilst you work your butt off for most of your life and argue over the scraps. -

We know, that's the SPIN. But you seem to think that you successfully avoided the elephant in the room; Marco Rubio's 180 degree turn. Is he clearly explaining that to anyone? The rest of your post was just more Trolling and baiting nonsense with no basis in truth. Actually I mean that the whole of your post is just Trolling and baiting nonsense with no basis in truth.
