I want to be dead in 10 years. Absolutely no desire to be sent to some awful old persons institution.

We are certainly better at killing other people now.

You missed the bit about being as large as John Holmes. Don't believe any woman that says size doesn't matter.

Ocean heat record broken, with grim implications for the planet No, it doesn't have grim implications for the planet. The planet will be fine and has been through many such variations in it's history. Humans, not so much. Our time as visitors on this planet may be coming to an end. We have been very, very bad guests, and if we are the author of our own demise; that's ironic.

Saudi was researching solar power way back in the 90s. What took California so long to do something like this?

Also had a couple billion people less to rape the planet. Re the OP- define "better". It can mean a lot of different things. I don't think people have changed- just the technology. People didn't waste their time on <deleted> like social media or tik tok. Obesity wasn't the problem it is today. Cars still had character, and exploited children weren't digging for minerals to make EVs work.

Why the option that is unhealthy?

If car makers wake up we'll be driving hydrogen powered, whether directly in an ICE or by fuel cells in an EV. IMO battery cars are as dead as Beta VCRs.

I asked how many spontaneously burst into flames, not how many fires there were. That's not a government web site and obviously written by a biased person who hates ICEs Next.

Link? No link it might not be true.

Do tell us how many ICE cars just spontaneously burst into flames then.

LOL. Travel as we know it is only for the masses since WW2. For the rest of the time humanity has been able to travel internationally for leisure, it's been restricted to rich people. There is no right to be able to fly.

Indeed, but I'd rather be moving on with a lot of money.

Well it certainly gave me an experience of being bullied by management. Whether it was overall a good experience is debatable, and frankly I'd rather have been paid better for a less stressful occupation.

In all the decades I was enjoying Thai ladies in the moment, I never had one that had a sick buffalo needing a cash injection. I guess not being drunk when I took one out had something to do with that. I did have one older lady that was very enjoyable, but not nearly as much as the younger ones. I had a relationship with a western woman that never could be referred to as a prostitute, and wished I'd gone with prossies instead. I'd have been better off financially and had more sex if I had of. I only ever went with one that was "sparklingly beautiful" and never tried that mistake again.

I thought I had a purpose in life when I was a nurse for decades, but after it was over I realised I'd rather have done something that paid better instead.

I don't. I just don't believe that there are thousands of non BG Thai women out there just waiting to be bonked by a farang and giving it away for free. BTW, no one "dates" a prostitute. It's a business transaction.

Ah. Sadly a nice car costs way more than just paying for it so I went for the BG option. Also, a BG will stay with you for as long as wanted, while girls with jobs had to go to work.

IMO Hua Hin sucks big time, Phuket is too expensive and a taxi rip off Krabi used to be great but I've heard bad things about Railay and of course Ao Nang was dire even 30 years ago. I liked West Lanta and the beaches were great I'd go to north Phangan in preference to big Chang any day ( stayed on big Chang once and never bothered again ). Phi Phi. Had the chance after the tsunami to make it great but blew it big time. Samet- avoid like the plague. Samui, used to love it 40 years ago, last time I went there it was dire- waaaay too overbuilt with horrid villas everywhere. Awful.

5555555555555555555555 I am a baby boomer and had no drugs, sex or booze in my younger days. Too busy working for that. On what I earned I couldn't afford drugs, tobacco or booze and nice girls didn't ( I only knew nice girls ).

Just curious, but why do you assume that every farang that comes to LOS drinks alcohol like a fish drinks water?

Likewise, my youthful years were sex devoid. So my good times in LOS were not reliving anything.

Do tell us about all those Thai women with respectable jobs that are just waiting for some passing farang to drop their knickers for, for free.

I could keep it up long enough to leave the country to go live in Thailand till I died. None of them were interested enough to visit the place before, so I wouldn't expect them to be finding out what lifestyle I was living in LOS.

Seen toxic relationships, been in 2. Men IMO marry to get sex without having to go look for it, women marry for security and children, IMO. My first partner was my age, second half my age. Both were as toxic as the other. IMO age has nothing to do with it. I've known school kids with more maturity than some adults I knew well. BTW, far as I have seen, Thai female children support the parents while the boys go out drinking, gambling and fornicating. My Thai wife's first husband did that on her money till she divorced him. Apparently her father forced her to marry him.
