    He didn't even write that book, it was ghost written, and even the guy who wrote the book for him later called him an absolute creep. Trump could not negotiate his way out of a paper bag, and all the hype around his ability to negotiate is completely manufactured.

  2. Alot of guys fall in love with the idea of being in love. And they devote their heart to a woman who is undeserving. So, the best course of action, if to take you time to get to know her. Time allows clarity. If it is good it will only get better. If there are problems (such as the ones you are describing), they will manifest themselves over time. This is why you do not allow yourself to get emotionally invested, until you know who she is. That takes a year, or two, or longer. If she shows you she is not worthy of your affection, and attention, you walk away. Man up. Pay tribute to your gender. Show yourself some self respect. Do not allow yourself to be abused, and treated like a street dog. Just walk away and don't behave like a desperate fool.

  3. My guess is a talented negotiator could resolve this in a few meetings. Assuming both sides are interested in settling this. It's quite possible that the Thai army is trying to justify their position and build up eroding confidence on the part of the public, in addition to trying to create reasons for the massive amounts of money that they're sucking out of the treasury every year.

  4. I disagree, I think it's still an incredibly forum, I think there are a lot of knowledgeable and articulate members who post valuable information and I think it's always been forum for us to vent and complain. However I think the real difference is that MAGA has made many people more divisive and they have reduced a lot of supporters to being gullible whiners and snowflakes.

  5. One can only hope this works out. This could end up being Trump's Vietnam or Afghanistan, a 20 year war costing trillions. The difference being that neither of those nations had the kind of money that Iran has, nor the oil reserves, and the kind of international influence when it comes to terrorist organizations. The secondary aspect of this is that Iran has one of the most talented hacking teams on the planet so the amount of misery, damage and terror that they can rain down upon the US Mainland is unfathomable.

     

    Trump of course doesn't know this because he's not someone who possesses any vision, he never reads anything, nor does he pay attention to his intelligence briefings. So he lives in a blissful state of ignorance 24/7, but some of us know better. 

     

    I'm not a supporter of Iran, nor am I a supporter of terror, however the way Trump goes about things is always wrong, he never gets it right.

    Cedars-Sinai has a blog post about this topic.   Unfortunately it isn't straightforward to read it.  I can only read it by using the Brave browser in the speadreader mode.  But here is the link:

    https://www.cedars-sinai.org/blog/boosting-your-immune-system.html

     

    Here's the intro to the blog entry:

     

    The idea of boosting your immune system is appealing, but is it even possible to build up your immune system so that you rarely get sick?

    Dr. Suzanne Cassel, an immunologist at Cedars-Sinai, says that the concept of boosting your immune system is inaccurate. There's also widely held confusion about how your immune system functions and how your body is designed to combat diseases and infections.

    "You actually don't want your immune system to be stronger, you want it to be balanced."

    There are a lot of fabulously ignorant doctors out there, and typically doctors do not believe in diet, herbal supplements or other things that can be used to boost the immune system and create a healthy environment for the body. They have no idea and they're completely unwilling to even admit that there might be a connection.

     

    To my mind, that's the ultimate definition of ignorance.
