Canna-bust: British student’s drug-filled dreams go up in smoke
spidermike007 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It seems like a fairly righteous verdict, and it seems like he was fortunate enough to get a reasonable judge. Ganja is such a minor crime and it hurts no one, granted it can destroy ambition and it can make one lazy and lethargic, but it's not like he was smuggling yaba, fentanyl, cocaine or heroine, we're not talking about a drug that kills. The entire "War on Drugs" is completely ridiculous. I give this judge a lot of credit. -
Although anything is possible and we really don't know the exact circumstances of this accident, one has to presume recklessness, and one has to presume that if she were driving more carefully, if she was more attentive or if she was more highly skilled as a driver she could have avoided plowing into this motorcycle and killing this poor woman. The fact that she dragged the motorcycle for 50 meters says something, and it likely doesn't speak of kindness and compassion.

Official: Trump Nominates RFK Jr. for Health Secretary
spidermike007 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
That is a very good point. #1 if you do your job well, Trump is likely to fire you. #2 if you disobey him, question him, or do something he does not like, he is likely to fire you. #3 if he fires you, he will do everything in his power to make it look like it was your fault, and not his. He will trash your reputation. So, you are correct. Only low end, garbage candidates will be up for the job. And that is all he has picked to date. -
Have a Panasonic inverter in the bedroom. Whisper quiet, performs beautifully. A bit expensive, but worth it. Likely made in Japan.

The dems want to blame the loss on anything but running a terrible campaign, fielding a poor candidate, and allowing the extreme left to dictate policy, such as trans rights and woke nonsense, which the vast majority of Americans reject. If they do not begin taking responsibility, it is game over. The extremists on the far left need to be shown the door. Woke went way too far. Just say no to complete nonsense.

Jake, you're forgetting something, you're a social media sensation, and you're obviously a clever guy. You've duped a lot of people into liking you and following you and you've made a fortune off that, but you're not a great boxer, you're not even a very good boxer, and you're certainly not an elite boxer, as you've never beaten anyone serious. So hopefully this fight will teach you a great deal of humility, which you need to a dramatic degree.

While it may seem counterintuitive, abstaining from ejaculation for a set period of time – be it a day, a week, or even months at a time – can have tangible positive effects across many aspects of our lives. While the conversation around avoiding ejaculation may seem to have gotten much more popular as of late, the truth is the original concept has been around for centuries. Our ancestors began hunting for the physical, mental, spiritual, and other benefits of semen retention far before it became an internet fad. While they may not have known the scientific benefits of not ejaculating like we do today, the notions were evident in the form of Taoism and tantric sex. While there is still a strong need for more research in this area, the bulk of published studies have revolved around the physical benefits of not ejaculating. Unsurprisingly, many of these effects are correlated again with higher levels of testosterone. Things like increases in mood and energy along with decreases in body fat are the same kind of results one might expect from more T. Perhaps the most exciting news is that the scientific benefits of not ejaculating may manifest more quickly than you’d think. A systematic review of current research conducted in 2018 found that abstaining for less than 24 hours was associated with improved sperm motility. The longer one doesn’t ejaculate, the more positive the results. The benefits of not ejaculating for a week were explored in 2003. It was found that among the 28 volunteer participants, T levels maxed out on the seventh day. A study conducted two years prior resulted in elevated testosterone levels in those who did not ejaculate for three weeks straight. This all points to the physiological benefits manifesting quite quickly. Elevated testosterone levels have been linked to the following improvements: Thicker hair Increased muscle growth Greater energy levels Improved sperm quality As mentioned before, these same physical benefits can also aid our mental and emotional states. It is an exciting cycle of positivity that can potentially start after as little as one day of abstinence. https://premiermensmedical.com/blog/benefits-of-not-ejaculating-practicing-semen-retention/

Perhaps Trump thought the only real qualification for secdef was the ability to host a news conference. Seems like a real slap in the face to the military, who he falsely claims to honor and respect. Actions speak so much louder than fake words and false platitudes.

As Donald Trump’s cabinet selections begin to take shape, in particular the selection of Matt Gaetz as attorney general and Pete Hegseth as defense secretary, one can begin to see the chaos of his second term unfolding, right on cue. To no one’s surprise, Mr. Trump is seeking to insulate himself with a coterie of sycophantic loyalists who will be expected to do his bidding at all times, whether or not they are genuinely qualified to oversee the day-to-day management and institutional integrity of the departments he wishes them to head. If anyone thought, despite all evidence to the contrary, that I Mr. Trump was going to view his second stint as commander in chief as an opportunity to tamp down the partisan rancor and general angst and distrust on the part of the American people toward their government, these cabinet picks are proof positive that he has no intention of doing so. Quite the contrary, as all signs are pointing to the next four years as being no less tumultuous, fraught and dispiriting than the preceding eight years, with Mr. Trump on the political scene. The choice of Pete Hegseth demonstrates Donald Trump’s prioritization of personal loyalty over competence or qualifications. Mr. Hegseth has never been in charge of any organization but will oversee the largest federal department. He has no experience with foreign policy. Do Mr. Trump and Mr. Hegseth think that playing the role of Fox News host on TV really qualifies him to be secretary of defense? Or does Mr. Trump only want a willing stooge who will follow orders to deploy troops to American cities to counter protests and deport suspected undocumented immigrants? It is also frightening that the Republicans in the Senate may be willing to forgo their constitutional role by allowing Mr. Trump to make recess appointments without hearings or votes to approve his blatantly unqualified appointments.

What is Trump really trying to tell us in his latest speech?

It is also frightening that the Republicans in the Senate may be willing to forgo their constitutional role by allowing Mr. Trump to make recess appointments without hearings or votes to approve his blatantly unqualified appointments. While Trump’s choice of Gaetz to lead the Justice Department is a clear sign that his second administration will be catastrophically chaotic, vengeful and corrupt, that should never have been in doubt. Trump made no secret during his campaign of his desire to persecute his political enemies. Anyone he chose as attorney general would share his interest in turning the justice system into the enforcement arm of the MAGA movement. The selection of Gaetz just rips the mask off. With it, Trump is trolling not just his defeated opponents but many of his craven establishment supporters. It’s like Caligula trying to make his horse a consul. Of all the people Trump was considering for A.G., Gaetz is unique mainly for how much he is hated by other Republicans, and not just moderate ones. In the final months of the last Trump administration, the Justice Department opened an investigation into whether Gaetz had a relationship with an underage girl that violated federal sex trafficking laws. Though that inquiry was closed without charges, the House opened an ethics investigation into him. It was reportedly set to vote on releasing a damning report on Friday, which Gaetz may have tried to pre-empt by resigning, though it could still become public. It should go without saying that Gaetz is not, by any normal standards, even a tiny bit qualified to be attorney general. He practiced law for only about two years before running for office, handling small-time civil matters, like suing an old woman for money she owed his father’s caregiving company. His chief credential is not his mastery of the law but his contempt for it. “We’re proud of the work we did on Jan. 6 to make legitimate arguments about election integrity,” he told Steve Bannon in 2022. He’s called for abolishing both the F.B.I. and the Justice Department unless they “come to heel.” If confirmed, he will be single-minded in his devotion to carrying out Trump’s will without concern for legal niceties. -
Once a relationship gets to that point, it is over. The sooner you leave the better. Pack all essentials, lock the door and leave. Change your phone number, email, etc. Don't leave a trace. No goodbyes. See ya! Life is way, way too short for this kind of nonsensical drama, unless you want to need the drama. Some guys do.

Official: Trump Nominates RFK Jr. for Health Secretary
spidermike007 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Certainly Kennedy and Gaetz are the two most bizarre and two least qualified picks so far. His last cabinet had a lot of very unqualified people in it, it seems like Trump is deliberately trying to pick even lower quality candidates than the first time around. Kennedy is not only highly unqualified for this position, he might be as insane as Trump. Some proof of that theory: During a 2012 deposition made during a contentious divorce from his second wife, Kennedy told attorneys that a doctor believed an abnormality in his brain scans “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” per the Times. He said he had been experiencing severe memory loss and mental fogginess, which he claimed had diminished his earning power. In an attempt to get ahead of a New Yorker article on the subject, Kennedy posted a video on social media earlier this month admitting to comedian Roseanne Barr that he left a dead bear in New York City’s Central Park a decade ago. Kennedy says in the video that another driver had killed the bear, and he pulled over and put it in his car with plans to skin it and “put the meat in my refrigerator.” Long story short, his explanation ends with the fact that he wasn’t going home and couldn’t leave the bear in his car, so naturally, he placed the carcass in Central Park and staged it to look like a bike accident. The circumstances surrounding the bear’s death had remained a mystery for years (and, coincidentally, Kennedy’s cousin Tatiana Schlossberg wrote a 2014 report about it for The New York Times). Last year, Kennedy said during a speech, “Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could cross the Alps to Switzerland. You could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did… the mechanisms are being put in place that will make it so none of us can run and none of us can hide.” Kennedy later apologized. -

I completely agree, though it may not have been intentionally released it was almost certainly manufactured, and it is very possible that Dr. Fauci had a hand in that. -
Why are many people so partisan?
spidermike007 replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in Political Soapbox
Just another nasty and toxic rant for one of the most hateful men on this platform. And another spectacularly misunderstood concept that tens of millions of Americans are very Centrist Democrats, who do not align themselves on any level with the progressive left. Your blindness and hatred makes that absolutely impossible for you to see. My heart goes out to you. Must be tough living like that. -
Thailand goes all in on The Homosexual Movement

As always your perspective is spot on, thank you for the clear and concise analysis. I completely agree about oppressive nations, why on earth would anyone want to visit? -

spidermike007 replied to Yagoda's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It's not unusual to see you completely misinterpreting a situation. That is not what happened in America, what happened in America was that an extreme movement on the progressive left was cramming the trans thing down our throats. I think most Americans are relatively tolerant of gays and lesbians. Trans is a completely different deal, and enabling a trans person to compete on a woman's sports team and use a woman's locker room, that's just a step too far. Thailand has always been tolerant of gay men and lesbians, and that's a wonderful thing. -
Getting up off your bum and actually doing something is far different than moaning, groaning and criticizing on social media. For me, that amounts to next to zero, in terms of courage. Being outraged is simply participating in victim culture, and weak PC nonsense, which is degrading society and preformed mostly by weaklings. Everything sparks debate these days, everything seems to offend the snowflakes, everything seems to cause "netizen outrage". Who cares, it means nothing, it is less than zero. Outrage is simply a manifestation of weak victim culture.

You obviously don't know very much on this topic. I suggest doing some reading on tantric yoga and some of the Hindu philosophy about sex and orgasm, you might learn something useful. This is a particularly important topic for men over the age of 60 as we pay a very heavy price for an orgasm, and the health benefits of cutting down on the frequency of orgasms are enormous.

Revealed, Why Kamala Harris Skipped Joe Rogan Interview
spidermike007 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The fact that she even had progressive members on her staff is very telling, the progressive left is a large part of the reason why she lost the election, the fealty that Democratic Congress members felt toward the progressive left was a large part of why she lost the election. Everything about the extreme side of the progressive left is toxic and they should be cast aside. A large part of why Trump won this election was not because he's a great man, or will event turn out to be a mediocre president, but because he was the lesser of two terrible candidates. -
I think pools only makes sense if you use them a lot, or if you have a family that loves them. I've had pools before, I never used them enough to justify the high degree of maintenance that they require, not to mention the initial expense. So when I build my new house it is definitely not going to have a pool, it's just not a priority on any level.

Let us hope so. They are a despot nation. Few in Russia make real money outside of crime. An outlaw nation, run by a serial killing tinpot dictator. One may ask why has Putin chosen this moment to make his move on Ukraine? As many have pointed out, Russia is an objectively weak state — “Upper Volta with nuclear weapons,” as someone once quipped — with a nominal G.D.P. smaller than that of South Korea. Outside of energy, minerals and second-rate military equipment, it produces almost nothing that outsiders want: no Russian iPhone, Lexus or “Fauda.” If it were not for the minerals, oil and natural gas, I believe Russia would be a highly irrelevant state. Sure, it had alot of culture. Had. What have it's contributions been since the middle of the 20th century? In Russia, a country already suffering from political and economic disaster, it is reported that an estimated 80 percent of the private enterprises and commercial banks are forced to pay a tribute of 10 to 25 percent of their profits to organized crime. They use the banks to launder money and avoid paying taxes desperately needed by the government to pay salaries and debts. All too often we hear of government and military personnel in Russia not being paid for months. To further cripple the economy, these crime groups dominate economic sectors, such as petroleum distribution, pharmaceuticals and consumer products distribution. According to Interior Minister Anatoly Kulikov, ROC controls 40% of Russia's gross national product. As long as money is not being paid into the government, money will not be paid out to workers in the form of salary and pension entitlements. https://www.globalinvestigativegroup.com/roc-and-trafficking
