I stayed there once. I wasn't offered a girl.

First time in mid 70s some place in Hat Yai. Don't remember the name. On a bus tour from Singapore. Probably long gone. Remember nothing about it.

It's not at all obvious.

Well that's wrong for a start. Loads of them never work as prostitutes and the ones that do are usually pretty obvious.

Seriously, who cares what anyone else gets up to sexually as long as it's legal? I get you don't like them, but that's you. Others may have differing opinions, as is their right.

I think the point got lost a few pages ago. Whatever, you apparently have no personal knowledge of ladyboys, so how can you make statements about them?

LOL. Is that why the Ukrainians have resorted to conscription? Perhaps it doesn't have the support of free and independent citizens in its war.

I'm so glad I put you on ignore, but I occasionally check to see what mindless drivel you are posting. I never fail to get a laugh from them.

Risen around NZ about my handspan in 100 years. OMG where's ma lifeboat? Seems some are climate alarmists. https://niwa.co.nz/hazards/coastal-hazards/sea-levels-and-sea-level-rise#:~:text=NZ SeaRise maps&text=Climate change and warming temperatures,Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Sea levels around New Zealand have risen by up to 220 mm in the last century

Nah. I've never seen a photo of a US M to F trans that doesn't look like a man. They are pretty obvious.

As expected, and didn't take long either.

If a species is able to exceed the speed of light, avoiding satellite detection would not be difficult. Even the Klingons had cloaking devices, LOL.

You assume that our physical limitations apply on every inhabited planet in the universe ( IMO likely in the trillions ). The law of physics was invented by humans, so why should it apply to different intelligent species, which may not even resemble humans? Could be a cloud of electrified gas, or a mobile silicone like blob. If an intelligent species ( one that doesn't kill each other and learned to live WITH nature ) has existed a million years longer than humans, is it not likely that they have learned more than we have? You assume that intelligence is restricted to a physical form. We know that the power of thought is capable of many things, but if we could actually control it, perhaps pure intelligent energy without physical form could transcend physical limitations. So many possibilities.

Note "hypothesized" and "imply"- code for "we don't know so we are guessing". Again, human science is too primitive to understand the universe. We only learned to make fire about 50,000 years ago, which is nothing in evolutionary terms. Human scientists can't even cure cancer.

Given that continuing on the present path is IMO likely to lead to MAD, Trump withdrawing support for and letting Putin further assimilate Ukraine is IMO the best thing that can happen in an already tragic farce. Not having nuclear winter is more important than letting Zelensky win. The fact that he thinks his intellect is above average is even more dangerous. The fact that Joe Biden thinks he can be POTUS again is even more dangerous, IMO.

The only thing surprising about that is that anyone is surprised about it.

Again, you assume that because humans are too primitive to have faster than light speed an actually intelligent species elsewhere will also be unable to do so. Human scientists know next to nothing about the universe.

I'm waiting for someone to blame Trump for this, despite them being banned during his administration. So much for those that maintain Trump never did anything "good".

They certainly won't be better conditions and Ukraine will even more destroyed with more widows and fatherless children.

Agree 100%. This farce is playing into China's hands.

That from a man running out of cannon fodder, and 100% reliant on other countries. What could possibly go wrong with that plan?

This from a man that can annihilate the west and much of the planet. Do I expect the west to take any notice- no! IMO so boxed into their "win at all costs" narrative that they will lose face if they back down, and we all know that their "face" is more important than the lives of billions of humans, don't we? I only half saw it, but seemed like Biden was saying that Ukraine WILL join NATO. If that's true it's MAD. Kiss your children goodnight while you still can.

Took him long enough to get around to it. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/14/politics/biden-administration-imposes-sanctions-on-israeli-groupblocking-humanitarian-aid-into-gaza/index.html The Biden administration on Friday imposed sanctions on an Israeli group for disrupting humanitarian convoys headed to Gaza.

Has netanyahu agreed to the proposal? Not to my knowledge, yet the Biden/ Blinken and your narrative is that Hamas is the problem. If it's unacceptable to the israelis ( no such thing as unworkable IMO ) they should be putting up a counter proposal. As of now I have heard of none. All we have so far is netanyahu saying there will be no ceasefire till Hamas is destroyed. Do you expect that is acceptable to Hamas?

I remember a poster long ago complained that he took a Thai girl out for dinner at a nice restaurant but didn't give her any money. He asked why she wasn't happy with a nice meal! He got educated really fast by other posters.
