  1. If there’s one society that’s deranged right now it’s the good old US of A. So if you’re American: people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones comes to mind.
  2. Wow, shocker, Trump getting played by Putin for the umpteenth time. Color me not surprised….
  3. From what I understand, Kushner, Witkoff and a third person whose name I forgot have been sent to Israel to talk sense into Bibi, as apparently he’s chomping at the bit to throw the agreement out the window and resume the war in Gaza.
  4. Mike Johnson is a sniveling little biatch suck-up who lives in Donald Trump’s rectum. Calls himself a christian. If Jesus were ever to come back to earth and visit the USA, all those evangelicals (including little Mike Johnson) would burn him at the stake.
  5. Thanks for the comments, guys. i decided to order the one that Slowhand225 bought on Lazada. It should arrive tomorrow (Wednesday). It will be interesting to see how things go, as this will be the very first time that I’m going to use a CPAP.
  6. But I’ve never had one, I have no idea how to operate a CPAP. Just out of curiosity: which one did you buy on Lazada?
  7. I have sleep apnea and am very probably going to need to start using a CPAP machine. I got the diagnosis in 2016 and have used an MRD (mandibular repositioning device) ever since, and that worked very well, never once woke up anymore feeling like I was being choked to death. Unfortunately, my teeth have always been quite bad, and last year my last few teeth had to be extracted. And without teeth, you can not use an MRD. At least that’s my understanding. I have been sleeping without my MRD for over a year, and that actually went amazingly well, no problems at all. Until last night, that is. Woke up in a blind panic because I couldn’t breathe, and I can assure you that’s no fun at all. Went to see a doctor at Bangkok Hospital here in Hua Hin today, and he advised me to go and see a specialist at Samitivej Hospital in Bangkok. I have an appointment this Tuesday, and that doctor can probably advise me on the kind of CPAP machine is best suited for me. I would still like some input from people who have been down this road before and have first hand experience with a CPAP. What kind of CPAP are you using? Where in Bangkok did you get it? Did that company train you in how to use it, and how to find the right settings? I have had two sleep tests back home in Holland, in 2016 and 2017, and I had somewhere around 10 stops per hour, so it’s considered to be a ‘mild’ form of sleep apnea. That’s why I could start using an MRD, and didn’t really need a CPAP. Would you recommend a new sleep test?
  8. And this is the guy that MAGA voted for, and is now defending. Just so that they can ‘own the libs’. Pathetic.
  9. And Israel has committed zero war crimes against Palestine/Gaza?
  10. In reality, Trump has brokered peace between: - Israel & Hamas - Azerbaijan & Armenia - Cambodia & Thailand - India & Pakistan - Egypt & Ethiopia - Serbia & Kosovo - Rwanda & the Democratic Republic of the Congo You wish. The first one (Israel and Hamas) is a definite maybe, I’ll give you that, but the rest is definitely a figment of your - and Trump’s - imagination.
  11. I could only answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Why was the option ‘Hell, no’ missing?
  12. I don’t trust either one of them, not even a little bit. Why not release the entire Epstein files, plus the client list? Then everything will be out in the open. And why did MAGA change their tune so quickly? Screaming for years that the children need to be protected, and the Epstein files need to be released. And now all of a sudden, as it looks like Trump’s name is all over those files, protecting their cult leader is apparently much more important than protecting the children. And again with the whore. How about if I start calling you the dunce in chief?
  13. And you know this how? Because of their innate trustworthiness? Maxwell has everything to gain by stating what she stated, so she can get her pardon. Most people would lie their ass off in that situation. I very much suspect that Maxwell is doing the same.
  14. Thanks for the advice, but my girlfriend lives and works here, so I kind of have to live here as well if I want to be with her. I have no interest in bargirls, and I’m not aware of any overcharging. In fact, I lucked out and found a house for 4,000 baht per month.
  15. Semantics. Another so-called ‘man’ who feels the need to belittle women by calling them a whore. You must be so proud of yourself. And you do realize that Ghislaine Maxwell has absolutely no reason whatsoever to say that Trump engaged in any wrongdoing, don’t you? In fact, she has every reason to deny that categorically. She’s hoping for a pardon, remember? So saying bad things about Trump would not be the smartest thing to do then. Maxwell also has a history of lying, or at least not telling the truth. The DOJ in 2022 stated that she engaged in a ‘significant pattern of dishonest conduct’. Considering her wish for a pardon, and her history of lying, her claim that Trump never engaged in any wrongdoing doesn’t mean diddly-squat. And not to put too fine a point on it: Maxwell said that she never witnessed Trump doing anything wrong. Slight difference. Long story short: there are way too many people trying way too hard to prevent the release of the Epstein files and client list. That alone tells me that some (probably quite a few) very powerful people are guilty as sin, and that they are doing everything they possibly can to make this go away.
  16. She was not only a sex trafficker, but she also actively participated in the actual child abuse. So she was very much a part of those ‘doing all the dirty deeds’. Having said that, all those other ones doing the dirty deeds (Donald Trump very probably being one of them) need to get locked up as well. I don’t care who or what they are, Democrats or Republicans or whatever; if they’re guilty of child abuse, they need to be locked up for a very long time. Every single one of them. But Mike Johnson is doing every thing he can right now to avoid a vote about the Epstein files. This whole shutdown is a godsend as far as Trump and Johnson are concerned. Johnson won’t even swear in the New Democratic member of the House from Arizona Adelita Grijalva, for fear it might tip the scale in favor of releasing the Epstein files. And they call themselves the party of law and order…..
  17. Can you be a little more specific? ‘Just go inland’ covers quite a few (hundred) square kilometers.
  18. I had something lined up, but that fell through at the very last minute. Let’s just say that that ‘friend’ is not my friend anymore…. Anyway, I’m in Hua Hin until the end of March, and looking for a place to stay. The agents/agencies that I spoke to don’t do anything less than at least a one-year lease. My budget is around 15,000 baht/month max. A one or two bedroom house in a (somewhat) quiet neighborhood would be good. Has to be furnished. Doesn’t have to be close to the beach, or close to the town center, maximum 10-15 kilometers out. Preferably as soon as possible. If anyone knows something, or has any suggestions, I’d be very grateful. Thanks!
  19. Like every other (wannabe) dictator or autocratic leader in the world: all talk, but when it comes down to it, they’re all tiny little petty cowards.
  20. Trump also said he's immediately going to fire any general, admiral or whatever who does anything he doesn't like, or just because Trump doesn't like the guy/woman. Trump, Vance, Hegseth and co. are all self declared big 'alpha males', while in truth they are nothing more than whiny little coward biatches who can't hold a candle to any of the brave men and women who are leading the American military.
  21. Free speech for me, but definitely not for thee….
  22. I, for one, wouldn’t watch that. All Trump does is repeat the same lies, talking points and pet peeves. Talk about not having anything to say. My three-year-old nephew loves to watch the same video over and over again. You guys remind me of him. But I would love to see von der Leyen give Congress a piece of her mind.
  23. I think you got that backwards. Nazis and fascists keep calling everyone who disagrees with them lefties. Or radical left, or socialists, or communists. Just red meat for their brain dead base.
  24. Only if van der Leyen gets to speech to Congress.
  25. Trump is still p!ssed that he didn’t get a $500 million contract back in the 80’s or 90’s to revamp the UN building. That man holds a grudge like nobody’s business. Once you have slighted him even in the least, either real (not so much) or perceived (more often than not), you’re on his sh!tlist forever. Trump has the mental maturity of a toddler.
