Map Shows Voter ID Laws by State Blue: Photo ID required Purple: Non-photo ID required Red: No ID required https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-voter-id-laws-state-1950691

Definitely looks like a female-to-male transgender.

As a Frenchman, I can say that Charlie Hebdo is a piece of trash, anything but funny, disrespectful and in very poor taste. Very few people actually read it and they survive on government subsisidies. Furthermore, one of the few talented artists they still had, Siné, was sacked in 2008 when he published a picture of Nicolas Sarkozy's son Jean converting to Judaism, captioned "This kid will go far". Because it was "antisemtitic", you see. So there you have your "freedom of speech".

This is correct, Wahhabism is a heresy.

I agree it is despicable.

Second result after googling his name + 'Thailand accident':

It is elementary decency to refrain from calling a recently deceased person an idiot on a public thread which their family and friends could be reading.

Yes of course he has. Is he going to jail, too?

But… but I thought this was crazy conspiracy theory… The next four years are going to be very interesting. P.S. Check out Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian the CIA hypnotised to kill Bobby Kennedy.

Yes, that is the explanation.

So logically, going forward, you will refrain from saying that being an epidemiologist is a legitimacy criterion in your eyes, as it is not. The criterion is being an epidemiologist who says what you want to hear.

Those really are three of the most obvious villains ever, as if to really insist and get the message through to the remaining doubters: yes, we are a nefarious, warmongering, self-serving clique and we just laugh at you plebs. As I said several times before, the "Biden" character (who doesn't look a bit like Joseph Robinette Biden Jr) has been our greatest ally these past four years.

And there is a good chance his family and friends will be reading this thread. Though I am generally in favour of free speech, I would support the removal of all messages insulting him, it's just in really bad taste IMO.

Yes, they enforced that system during Covid for the Thailand Pass and it worked well, so it's possible. It shouldn't even be possible to set foot on Thai soil without an insurance that covers you for everything, even dumb things, from a selection of Thai government-approved providers.

Oh just reached this bit… That answers my previous post

Indeed, which is why this really should be addressed by the Thai authorities. Legal liability for any rental shop renting a bike to a foreigner without a valid licence and insurance would be a start. Maybe such a provision already exists. In that case it should be enforced.

Those of us who ride motorbikes know just how dangerous they can be when they decide to chase you out of the blue for no reason. It has nothing to do with being aggressive or not, if one of them decides he doesn't like the look of you for a reason only he knows, he will often trigger his mates and launch a pack hunt on you. It also happened to me back in the day when I used to go out for jogs (now I have a treadmill at home). I had a friend in Phuket whose beloved cat was mangled to death by the dogs outside her house. She was heartbroken. She would never have poisoned them, but she hated the damn things and ended up moving because of them. Some dogs are a real problem in Thailand and it is something which should be addressed through public policy, IMO.

If you actually believe (or are inclined to believe) that we are living in a simulation as described here by Neil DeGrasse Tyson or as depicted in The Matrix, then you and I are not as opposed as you think we are. You are conceptually open to the possibility that the reality we live in does not actually exist and is artifically created by an entity we are then de facto subjected to. This is what I posit in my refutation of the heliocentric model. The ongoing deception which I believe is taking place is, for all intents and purposes, a simulation. The interviewer mentions The Truman Show, this is an analogy I have used myself at times.

Okay, so based on this rationale, you also take into consideration this then too then, right? Nicolas Hulscher MPH (Master of Public Health), epidemiologist:

What's the backstory? People don't poison dogs for fun.

Yep. I will start taking this seriously when I receive an official notification to pay by the authorities. To me, this seems so unlikely that I almost want it to happen so I can see how they managed to do it (and only then will I start considering alternative options). A farang I know recently packed up and left the country because of this, reluctantly. I repeatedly told him not to get uptight, as IMO the likelihood of this actually happening is extremely low. Once the Thai authorities are faced with the mountain of complexities and difficulties it entails, coupled with the bad image for the country and actual loss of revenue from expats (the opposite effect of what they want), they will probably sweep it under the carpet… "But the law has been enacted!", he said. "Yes, now let's see if they actually apply it", I retorted, but he wouldn't have it… until his final week where he started having regrets as he realised that beyond the dozens of hours of talking (mostly done by farangs), nothing is actually happening. I was at the immigration office a couple of months ago, no signs, no leaflets, no staff telling anyone about anything related to it… (This last point is important because all the farangs I have heard talking about it interpret it as "pay tax or leave", i.e. you won't be able to renew your visa… In a way it reminds me of the hordes of people who were adamant that getting the Covid vaccine would be required for a visa, which of course didn't even remotely begin to materialise in any shape or form). Relax, it most likely isn't going to happen, don't do anything and it will go away.

One of the great unresolved mysteries of this forum is whether you actually believe the outrageous BS you post. I tend to think you do.

There is plenty of footage seemingly indicating that stars are of a photoluminescent nature. NASA uses CGI and they are open about that, I have already covered it in this thread. Stars Photoluminescence.mp4 Stars Photoluminescence 2.mp4 Stars Photoluminescence 3.mp4

"Scientific education" just means "trained according to a specific belief system". A belief system which, as illustrated in this thread, does not like to be challenged. I honestly don't understand what "we are just in a simulation" means. It sounds like one of those purposely indecipherable phrases that science nerds like to say, but if there is a deeper meaning and/or relevance to it, please don't hesitate to explain it.

Great questions and I would love to know the answers to them.
