Sigma men are defined by extreme self-reliance and comfort with solitude. Check They prioritize questioning assumptions and rejecting traditions that contradict personal truths. Check, which doesn't make me friends as I've been "questioning assumptions and rejecting traditions" since I was a kid. High value is placed on freedom of thought and lifestyle design on their terms. Check, I detest Orwellian clamp-downs on freedom of speech and thought that are now in vogue in nanny-states like the UK, EU, AU, and NZ. Wanna see a lot of Sigma male behavior? Look at those of us questioning all of the "killer pandemic" nonsense that began in March 2020 and continues to this day. Intense focus, drive, curiosity, and creativity fuel their ambition. Check - reading "banned" books, taking personal positions based on my interpretation of factual data as opposed to ideology. They have little interest in group identity or leadership, preferring independence. Check - I don't belong in anybody's club, I don't align to political parties, I have no need to integrate in the expat community. Life purpose and direction arise from inward self-validation, not external pressures. Check So I'm a "Sigma Male," except? I could give a freaking rip about labels. Big deal.

That he is.

I've now see it all. I can happily die now.

Do they look like this?

Just a suggestion, but - get a life?

bob smith - did you just reinvent yourself again you old devil?

Nice place to wait to die. I'm chilling with it. You hit your mid-70s, outlived your own parents age-wise, death's coming. So enjoy the wait. Well unless you're a nihilist and believe it all ends in the annihilation of consciousness, then you're probably too scared to enjoy the wait. "Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!" In the meanwhile, here's some "Waitin' Room Music."

Good luck shutting down popular AI sites. You gotta give the kid credit. I wouldn't have even thought of that. But don't have to as social media giants shower me with soft porn. Trust me, I don't want it. This is a site where I share pictures of pets and dinner and keep in contact with family and friends. And yet only about 5% of the cr*p on my feed had anything to do with my family and friends. I just keep getting a ton of stuff I really don't care about.

Oh color me SHOCKED I probably was checking out "the pink" in Hustler at his age. But to be honest. A certain "family" social media sight showers me with pictures of Asian Uni Vollyball gals wearing "camel-toe" tight short-shorts. I don't ever click on them and they keep showing up. Not sure why the kid needs to AI draw nudes. He can just log into his favorite social media site and they'll do it for him.

Thailand Urged to Cut Interest Rates to Boost Economic Growth ...in order to make the over-extended Thai debt-slaves into a permanent class of feudal commoners. Hell, banks pay a fraction of a percentage in interest; charge the debt-slaves 30% on their credit cards. There is something seriously wrong when the government (globally) allow this kind of usury while using depositors funds for next to free.

32.733? That's heading south.

“Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth into battle—be Thou near them! With them—in spirit—we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended in the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames in summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it— For our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimmage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen. -Mark Twain, The War Prayer

"Those whom the God's wish to destroy, they first make mad." -Euripides If you wish to see Russia overthrown, please go home and volunteer to be sent to the Russian fronts. Take it to those Red Army Ruskies and show that Commie dictator Putin a thing or two. Russia is weak and about to fall, it just needs a little push, so volunteer to arm up and have your Western country push those orcs back to Moscow and succeed where Napoleon and Hitler failed. Third time's a charm because - Russia invaded the shining Democracy of Ukraine completely unprovoked. Go give them that final little push and save the West in the name of Liberty and Democracy and Global Tolerance and Peace Through Strength. World War 3 is coming. Most folks in the progressive liberal West want it so bad they can taste it. And they want you to go and fight it for them. Show them your patriotism and join the Army today!

I was there in 1986. Came back in 2007. Spent one night and left. Never returned. No plans to return. So - I do understand.

"EEEKKKK Suffrage!" Omg!

I'm on number 4 too. Number 1 turned into a meth tweeker. The court gave her custody of my 18 month old daughter. Number 2 turned into a lesbian. I actually thought she was gay when I first met her. Then it was, "I guess not." Then she went to Desert Storm 1 and came back with a crush on her girlfriend who was very hetero. She found a gay girlfriend and that was it. I saw it before she did. <Interlude> I got custody of my 11 year old daughter after her tweeker mom abandoned her. My daughter was a really tough kid. I had to turn her into a normal kid. Number 3 was significantly younger than me and I met her while finishing university at the ripe at of 39, she was mid-20s. I was in incredibly athletic shape and was consistently pegged as being in my late 20s. However, she was around when my daughter was killed at 18 years old. That was tough no doubt, but 9 years later she finished college, had a job waiting for her, and moved in with her "lab partner" who was younger than her. I took early retirement at 55, said "F**k it" and books a flight from LAX to BKK after divorcing her and never looked back. We pretty much split everything except my retirement. She signed that over to me considering she had a lucrative job and I was now unemployed. I was done with the US and farang women - "Hello SEA!" Number 4 is 8 years younger than me which now puts her in her mid-60s. We have a novel relationship that works and it's lasted 18 years, way longer than the first three. If we came into money, we'd split it. with portions going to her, my stepson, the local temple and me. Greed doesn't define our relationship.

"How much trouble could I get in on a little scooter that I've never rode before and for which I've never had any training and for which I don't have a motorcycle endorsement on my drivers license at home."

Thailand's Grim Motorcycle Death Toll Sparks Helmet Campaign Thailand's grim motorcycle death toll sparks ฿฿฿฿฿ in the minds of government officials and becomes the proximate cause for a new revenue collection campaign. There, fixed it.

Trump threatens to cut Musk's government contracts as their public feud escalates. That bromance dissolved about as quickly as I thought it would. Up next: he'll turn over most of his cabinet by the end of the year.

In that case, if she had those assets before your marriage, she's pretty much entitled to the funds when she sells them. However - saying, "I'm not sharing any of this with you, farang," is rather greedy. You do support her and your kid, right. And yet when the fickle winds of fate change direction, it's "P*ss-off farang, you get nothing." If she obtains money it sounds like perhaps she'll trade you in for a new model. Realistically I had my wife sign a prenup.

BYE BYE = Code-word for "Ignore List"

I gotta admit, I don't have that problem.

The changes of getting tetanus in Thailand is about 1 in 100,000. If she has ever had a tetanus shot she does have some immunity. But - if you're worried, get that second opinion. FYI, flu and upper respiratory infections are going around too. It's probably something other than tetanus.
