Trump HAS RETURNED to power. Get your tenses correct.

Queue the finger-pointing.

I don't want to move toward diversity and inclusivity. You're either beautiful or you're not. If you're not beautiful, tough. Too bad - get over it. You weren't dealt that hand of cards. Not everyone is - most people aren't. Then you can just be like the rest of us average people. If you are beautiful, then that illusion will dispel withing two or three decades and new "beautiful" people will take your place. If you actually were fooled into believing in your own inherent beauty, you'll probably end your life miserable and extremely unhappy, and no doubt will cosmetically butcher yourself in the process - then you WILL be truly ugly. Join the majority. That's karma in a nutshell. And in reality, many of those who actually, in my own opinion, are truly physically beautiful spend most of their lives looking into a mirror and seeing someone who can't live up to their own expectations of beauty. Too bad they didn't have well-grounded parents. Personally I'm more interested in what is beneath that superficial layer of illusion society labels as "beauty." Because the superficial layer is only temporary, and it will change over time, and not for the better. And really - anyone who want's the majority to collectively accept ugly people as beautiful are actually more interesting in changing people's attitudes by force. Like forcing people to say men are women at the end of a gun. It won't work, nor should it. I get the distinct feeling the Op wants society to be forced to accept the beast as beautiful. Why? That too is indulging in illusion. And nothing the OP spewed here is unique to Thailand - it's universal. Wanna know what really is healthy? Having a positive self imagine regardless of how society defines beauty and accepting yourself as you are. Beauty? "Pfft!" Some of the most f'ed up people I've met in life have been externally "beautiful" but internally a train-wreak. And some of the most beautiful people I've know weren't much to look at. Now dwell on that.

You obviously don't understand the silver market in Thailand. Try buying or selling silver bullion here. Tell us how that works out for you?

Exactly. Bangkok BTS isn't the Brooklyn Subway. Bangkok doesn't need cops.

Especially when those people and companies attempt to get the government to force you to take them at the end of a gun. Nothing says "SAFE AND EFFECTIVE" like police state cohesion forcing you to be a human guinea pig for Big Pharma.

Considering the shots have probably wreaked what was left of your immune system you probably will die if you get get Covid. At my age, having had Covid once for a whole 2 1/2 days, I'm pretty sure my immune system would simple kick into gear and do its job. But keep getting those shots at least twice a year or as often as "The ScienceTM" says to get them: Safe And EffectiveTM.

Will you be getting boosted now that Covid is back in the headlines in Thailand? Not just "No" but "**** No!"

Except between 2PM and 5PM daily during which the Temperance Police will bust you for disrespecting Thai culture.

Perfect! Why didn't I think of that! After which he needs various neck braces and braces and casts for his Covid Infected Extremities before making A MIRACULOUS RECOVERYTM

Auntie will come back soon and will no doubt find a penthouse hospital suite at the Prison Remand Hospital awaiting her as she too will not doubt be on Death's Doorstep until after her release when she'll make "A Miraculous Shin-RecoveryTM" just like big bro'.

"Miracle on 492/1 Rama I Road" The Movie

Of course, of course - and his recovery was......MIRACULOUS!!! A MIRACLE!!! PRAISE BUDDHA!!!

Well, unless you row ashore at Dover. Then you'll receive 5 stars hotel accommodations for free, free food, a government check, and fast-tracked free medical care. And if any Brit says anything negative about it - off to prison with you whitey.

There's a lot that I agree with in this Bernie Sander's sponsored ad. I agree with Joe and Jane Average American. And there is some hypocrisy that I find in that video such as that Sander epitomized the same "big money and old dinosaurs" in politics that Joe and Jane Average want to see banished. Both Big Money Interests and geriatrics (like Sanders) need to step aside for younger candidates and support campaign finance reform and term limits. Sanders will continue to take private planes to his hypocritical "End The Oligarchy" events and Vermont voters will continue to vote him into office until he gets to the point that, like Diane Feinstein, his staff positions the drooling Sanders at his seat and moves his hands to push the "correct" voting buttons. And he'll remain a US senator well past his expiration date. And therein lies the problem not only with the Democrat Party, but US politics in general. Dem_Party_2.0.mp4

Wealthy Brits need illegal migrants to subsidizes their ageing parents assisted living fees. Nice!

Unless you land in Dover in a rubber dingy and then you are fast-tracked to UK citizenship. And while you wait you get free lodging in a 5 star hotel, free medical, free food, and a stipend. In the meanwhile, British Gen-Z sleeps rough on the streets unable to afford rent or the cost of living.

So Trump isn't Hitler anymore, he's Mao. I'm sure he'll be Stalin soon enough.

Dude, you've just kicked the Chinese-Haters into "DRIVE." They'll be out in full-force now spewing, "I Hate China" word salads and "All Chinese Student's Poop On The Streets" rhetoric. Bring up weather and you get China, Russia, and Trump falling like cats and dogs.

Like this though October. Sometimes rain; sometimes not rain. Yeah, I put the air purifiers away yesterday. I've got some seedlings planted but now it looks like I'll bag planting starts and just plant seeds directly into the garden this year. 🪴 Looks like the Weather Oracles are predicting a wetter than average year so hopefully the reservoirs will get topped off this year, and of course - naam tuam, it will flood..."We never saw these floods coming, they were a total surprise. What can we do???" (Kick the can down the road to next year? 😁) The Ping River in Chiang Mai is already pretty high, and I don't think the Rain Season has even officially begun. So it looks like we'll have a good productive year in the garden this year.

The goal of the US, Europe, and NATO have been the strategic defeat of Russia, the overthrow of the Russia government, and the breakup of Russia into balkanized regions that are controlled by Western proxies. Which is the purpose of pushing NATO right up against the Russian border while screaming about "Russian aggression." Read foreign policy papers by RAND Corp think-tanks and authors who are members of the Council on Foreign Relations and publish these screeds in Foreign Affairs magazine, or read neo-cons like Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger - it's right there in plain sight. And we are supposed to believe that the US wouldn't have any problems with a military force comprised of Russia, China, and Latin American countries pushing right up against the United States and spewing belligerent rhetoric toward the US. The US and the West want to "rule the world" and rule it by force and coercion. The rest of the world wants to trade and to have their trading partners stay out of their domestic affairs. All Ukraine is is a battering ram aimed at Russia. The rhetoric about negotiations being dependent only if Russia agrees to a ceasefire is the same ploy as the previous Minsk agreements which were never implemented and were later revealed by Holland and Merkel as being used to arm and equip Ukraine forces for an assault on Eastern (Russian speaking) Ukraine. Then again in March 2022 when the EU convinced Russia to pull Russian troops from Kiev in order to show good faith for the Istanbul accords which Boris Johnson was send to blow up in April 2022. If anyone thinks that Russia is going to accept a "ceasefire" for any reason and for any length of time before a comprehensive peace agreement is signed, well they're snorting some pretty good stuff. And if a peace accord is signed, how long before NATO is rearming Ukraine. I see one of two outcomes: an unconditional surrender by Ukraine or World War 3 with NATO driving their forces East toward Moscow...again...like they haven't learned how that turned out in the past. Hey? Third time's a charm, 'eh? Too much of the US and EU economies are built on selling weapons and promoting war. There is no profits in peace. And if peace begins to happen, the West is right there building conflicts and creating enemies which need to be overthrown and countries sanctioned - it never, ever ends. Will there be an negotiated end to the Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine? I doubt it. The EU and UK "leaders" want war with Russia, they come right out and state it. They want that strategic overthrow of Russia that they know they can't accomplish it by themselves, so they want Big Daddy USA to do it for them. Boots on the ground and forever war until Russia is defeated and broken up and divided among the NATO victors. Sniff some more of that Ukrainian Marching Powder and maybe the war fairies will grant your wishes. I expect Russia to keep marching toward the Dnieper River and carving out defacto buffer zones in Western Ukraine, all while the EU/UK growls and the US threatens. I fully expect this to evolve into a full-fledged World War with the West on the wrong side of history. No problem, the West is good at rewriting history - they already have the script for WW3 written with Russia, China, Iran, and the DPRK (among a host of others in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America) as the villains whose "aggression must be stopped at any cost." Get the Western Gen-Z cannon fodder ready. <Que Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome> "Ladies and gentleman; boys and girls... Dying time's here!"
