In the early days, many users were willing to try almost any platform that offered a good rate. Today, the situation appears different. People often look for clear procedures, transparent communication, and a service that can provide support if something unexpected happens. Verification processes, transaction tracking, and responsive customer assistance have become important factors in the decision-making process. For many users, knowing where to get help is just as valuable as saving a small percentage on an exchange.  Another interesting shift is that users are increasingly combining crypto with traditional financial tools. As a result, they expect exchange services to work smoothly with bank cards, payment systems, and other familiar methods. From our observations, reliability and transparency are becoming key competitive advantages in the industry.  When choosing an exchange service today, what matters most to you: exchange rates, speed, payment options, security, or customer support?</description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 15:54:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Foreigner Challenges Swastika Tattoo at Thai Restaurant</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397810-foreigner-challenges-swastika-tattoo-at-thai-restaurant/?do=findComment&comment=20578854]]></link><description>Strange: Double Post, completely unintentional.</description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 15:51:53 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Foreigner Challenges Swastika Tattoo at Thai Restaurant</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397810-foreigner-challenges-swastika-tattoo-at-thai-restaurant/?do=findComment&comment=20578853]]></link><description><![CDATA[And, concerning Mein Kampf, let us keep this in mind, something which is still timely today:    https://dn790000.ca.archive.org/0/items/mein-kampf-by-adolf-hitler-ralph-manheim-translation/Mein%20Kampf%20by%20Adolf%20Hitler%20-%20Ralph%20Manheim%20Translation.pdf?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email  Excellent work by Ralph Manheim...]]></description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_07/image.png.c21d30317d8637c1d28768487084fdc6.png" length="277321" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 15:51:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Will Trump's disdain for non rich Americans hurt the party?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397771-will-trumps-disdain-for-non-rich-americans-hurt-the-party/?do=findComment&comment=20578852]]></link><description>Bring out the secret Trump autopen.</description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 15:50:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Modern day  Dem Party , News</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396584-the-modern-day-dem-party-news/?do=findComment&comment=20578851]]></link><description><![CDATA[The USA tax revenue was their piggy bank , *500B in fraud according to the GAO, i betcha much of that was blue jurisdictions.

And I don't like women's tennis, as I consider it illigitimate, due to their unwillingness to play 5 set matches in the slams, yet insist on the same prize money. That is blatantly unfair. And it's a difficult thing to discuss, because the PC crowd jumps right down your throat.   Maybe I am old fashioned. I have many gay and lesbian friends, and most I know are really wonderful people. And I have met a number of ladyboys over the years, casually. Cannot really relate to that culture, but to each his own. It is a huge and highly accepted culture here. All good.    It is the other ones I am having an increasingly hard time comprehending. And not only all of the myriad of designations, but the whole PC culture surrounding the designation, the insistence on us using the right terminology, and all the rest that goes along with the uber PC acceptance stuff.    When I grew up if you liked guys you were either gay or bisexual. Now?   The US is by far the most tolerant country in the world when it comes to the whole trans, non-binary, amorosexual, decide whatever you want today, if it fits mentality. No other country is as loose, driftless, and as silly as the US, except maybe the UK. Maybe.    When a woman devotes her entire youth to a sport, and becomes one of the best in that particular area, and then a man comes along who decides to identify as a woman, and steals all the awards, all the victories, and all the accolades, something is not right in society. Something is broken, society has become morally bankrupt, and there has to be a pause, there has to be an interruption of the nonsense.   No woman would survive more than 30 minutes in the NFL. Women will not participate in men's sports because they won't be able to handle the physical endurance required, nor the brutality, nor the talent level. A woman ranked #5 on the WTA could not beat a #758 man on the ATP as John McEnroe so truthfully stated.   Hopefully all this craziness will pass and we'll return to some form of normalcy and indecency.  Finally this not so supreme court makes a smart decision. Their level of partisan decisions has been beyond disgusting.</description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 15:40:08 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Finnish Fugitive Arrested in Bangkok Home by Immigration</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397814-finnish-fugitive-arrested-in-bangkok-home-by-immigration/?do=findComment&comment=20578843]]></link><description>Stay in your own lane, you should follow this advise rather than supporting grasses.</description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 15:37:58 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Finnish Fugitive Arrested in Bangkok Home by Immigration</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397814-finnish-fugitive-arrested-in-bangkok-home-by-immigration/?do=findComment&comment=20578842]]></link><description>You didn't fix anything, there was nothing that needed fixing.</description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 15:36:14 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Blue bank refusal to issue Immigration bank letter</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397818-blue-bank-refusal-to-issue-immigration-bank-letter/?do=findComment&comment=20578841]]></link><description>Don't play the fools advocate.

Not only because our respect for the past is attested by each color, passionately loved by us all, which called forth so much honor from the German people, but it was also the best embodiment of the desires of the people of the movement. As National-Socialists we see our program in our flag. In the red we see the social ideas of the movement; in the white, the nationalistic; in the swastika the mission of the fight for the victory of the Aryan man, and with it, simultaneously the victory of creating work, which in itself was anti-semitic, and will be anti-semitic eternally. Two years later, when out of regulator troops a great many thousand men had become an elaborate Storm Detachment, it seemed necessary to give this defense organization of the young world-concept a special symbol of victory: the Standard. I sketched it myself, and gave it to the master goldsmith, Gahr, to execute."   But, what did his mustache symbolize, is what I would like to know.</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_07/image.png.4842653b1023103d7684355775162267.png" length="58954" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 15:31:44 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Finnish Fugitive Arrested in Bangkok Home by Immigration</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397814-finnish-fugitive-arrested-in-bangkok-home-by-immigration/?do=findComment&comment=20578837]]></link><description>You know what's even lower than a snakes belly?... the scumbags who support grasses.

Instead, the visit is already being overshadowed by fresh controversy after Meghan&#x2019;s use of affiliate links connected to outfits worn at the Games sparked accusations of profiting from a veterans&#x2019; charity.  Charity Storm Erupts Before UK Return The Sussexes are expected to attend the one-year countdown to the Birmingham Invictus Games, marking the first time Harry has brought his family to the UK in four years. While Buckingham Palace has reportedly offered accommodation at a royal residence, it remains unclear whether the couple will accept. Attention has instead shifted to Meghan&#x2019;s commercial links with shopping platform One Off, where she earns commission on selected fashion purchases. The platform has retrospectively added items she wore during the 2025 Invictus Games in Canada, prompting criticism from some supporters of the charity.  Critics Question Boundaries Critics argue the arrangement blurs the line between charitable work and personal business, with concerns that Meghan could financially benefit from publicity surrounding an event dedicated to wounded and injured servicemen and women. Supporters have also pointed to the fact that the Games receive backing from host governments, with Birmingham 2027 expected to receive UK public funding. Some have questioned whether any commercial activity linked to the event risks undermining its charitable mission.  Harry Reportedly 'Deeply Uncomfortable' According to reports citing unnamed sources, Harry has found the backlash difficult because Invictus remains one of the causes closest to him. The former Army officer has long described the Games as one of his life's defining achievements and a project that continues to enjoy broad public support. The same reports claim Harry worries about reputational damage, while Meghan believes the criticism is exaggerated, arguing that affiliate links are now standard practice across the entertainment and influencer industries.  Fresh Pressure on Royal Relations The dispute also risks complicating the Sussexes' already fragile relationship with the Royal Family. Questions remain over whether Harry will meet the King during the visit, with some commentators suggesting any perceived commercial connection to royal engagements would attract further scrutiny. The visit also comes after Harry's unsuccessful legal challenge over his UK security arrangements. Although details of next month's protection have not been disclosed, security is expected to be extensive as the family prepares for their highest-profile visit to Britain in years  Prince Harry&#x2019;s embarrassment over Meghan Markle&#x2019;s charity cash grab &#x2013; he just can&#x2019;t defend this</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_07/images.jpg.e71c45e3b082c0e50cec674bac58e870.jpg" length="38846" type="image/jpeg"/><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 15:21:29 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Finnish Fugitive Arrested in Bangkok Home by Immigration</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397814-finnish-fugitive-arrested-in-bangkok-home-by-immigration/?do=findComment&comment=20578834]]></link><description>Lower than a snakes belly!

Why not just get the truth straight from the HORSE's Mouth, meaning passages in Mein Kampf:  "The question of the new flag, i.e. of its appearance, occupied our minds a great deal at that time. Proposals came from all sides, though they were mostly more well-intended than acceptable. For the new flag had both to be a symbol of our own battle and to have a striking poster-like effect. Anyone who has had to concern himself much with the masses will realize that these apparent trifles are actually very important matters. An effective badge may give the first impulse toward an interest in a movement in hundreds of thousands of cases. For this reason we had to decline the suggestion of a white flag, made in many quarters, which would have identified our movement with the old State, or rather with those feeble parties whose sole political aim is the restoration of vanished conditions. Besides, white is not a compelling color. It is suitable for chaste societies of maidens, but not for insurgent movements in a revolutionary age. Black was also proposed. In itself it was fitting for the present day, but there was almost no way of deducing from it any suggestion of our movement’s intent. And finally this color is not compelling enough either. Blue and white was out of the question, despite its wonderful aesthetic effect, as the color of one German State [Bavaria] and of a political attitude of narrow particularism whose reputation unfortunately was not of the best. Here too, furthermore, it would have been hard to find any indication of our movement. The same was true of black and white. Black, red and gold was out of the question in itself. So was black-white-red, for reasons which have been mentioned—at least in the accustomed form. In effectiveness, however, this color combination stands far above all others. It is the most radiant harmony there is. I myself always retaining the old colors, not only because they are the most sacred thing to me as a soldier, but because their artistic effect appeals far more than any other to my aesthetic sense. Nevertheless I had to decline without exception all the countless sketches that came in from the members of the young movement, most of them incorporating the swastika into the old flag. I myself, as Leader, did not want to appear immediately before the public with my own design, since it was quite possible that someone else might produce one equally good, perhaps even better. And in fact a dentist from Starnberg brought in a design that was not at all bad; it was a good deal like mine, but had the one fault that the swastika was fitted into a white circle by means of curved ends. Meanwhile I myself, after endless attempts, had laid down a final form: a flag with a red ground, bearing a white disk with a black swastika in its center. After many experiments I also established a definite relation between the size of the flag and the size of the white disk, as well as the shape and weight of the swastika."  https://dn790000.ca.archive.org/0/items/mein-kampf-by-adolf-hitler-ralph-manheim-translation/Mein%20Kampf%20by%20Adolf%20Hitler%20-%20Ralph%20Manheim%20Translation.pdf?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email This is the Manheim translation, and link to it.
