What I see and hear there is remarkable. After a restless sleep, I wake up in the morning and wonder how a civilised nation can vote a "pied piper" into office twice. Desperation can have many forms. A lot of American voters must have concluded that "the American dream" doesn't work anymore. Hoping that a New Jersey real estate guy will find a way to restore "the American dream".</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:54:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why is &#xE2A; in &#xE2A;&#xE27;&#xE31;&#xE2A;&#xE14;&#xE35; low tone?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1353328-why-is-%E0%B8%AA-in-%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%B5-low-tone/?do=findComment&comment=20572771]]></link><description>Interesting question, I&#x2019;m a bit late to it. But today I was studying consonant clusters, so I think I can explain:   &#xE2A; and &#xE27; together form a consonant cluster. As the two consonants don&#x2019;t really blend together they are &#x201C;broken clusters&#x201D;. As the second consonant is an LC1 consonant this is referred to as a musical cluster. So the short  &#x201C;ah&#x201D; vowel is inserted between the consonants to create two syllables. For musical clusters the first consonant determines the tone for both syllables.   &#xE2A;&#xE27;&#xE31;&#xE2A;&#xE14;&#xE35; becomes s&#xE0;-w&#xE0;t-dii  High class consonant with a short vowel becomes low tone s&#xE0;.  High class tone rule applied to &#xE27;&#xE31;&#xE2A; becomes w&#xE0;t, as it is also short vowel.   Note that &#xE27;&#xE31;&#xE2A; on its own would be w&#xE1;t, with a high tone.   I believe this is the reason why you see two low tone marks.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:54:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>News from Axios: The cost of blind loyalty</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397610-news-from-axios-the-cost-of-blind-loyalty/?do=findComment&comment=20572770]]></link><description>Troll post removed @Yagoda discuss the topic and drop this trolling obsession with other posters user names.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:52:29 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>'Quiet' COVID deaths in 2025, hundreds in TH, thousands in U.S.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1374722-quiet-covid-deaths-in-2025-hundreds-in-th-thousands-in-us/?do=findComment&comment=20572769]]></link><description>"Impulse has no idea" is a bigger assumption than I would ever make.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:52:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What nationality is rude ?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397601-what-nationality-is-rude/?do=findComment&comment=20572768]]></link><description>I go regularly to the rooftop bar with the girlfriend, we keep to ourselves.  If you visit these type of public places, take a chick with you, keep to yourselves, avoid interacting with others. Using these tactics you will never come across any rude people.  It may be you, making conversation, staring etc, with unknown people, most don't like to be bothered, perhaps it's the reason you find these, as you say....rude people.

And it was not allowed to question that.  That made me act very carefully and talk very thoughtfully whenever Jews were around and treat them most respectfully, always scared to say something wrong which might hurt their feelings.  Not anymore.  Reading all this compassionate and good-hearted comments from our Jewish fellow members has healed me from this paranoia.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:45:59 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why do so many Thai prostitutes marry their customers?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1343798-why-do-so-many-thai-prostitutes-marry-their-customers/?do=findComment&comment=20572766]]></link><description>I love and adore them!</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:36:17 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why do so many Thai prostitutes marry their customers?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1343798-why-do-so-many-thai-prostitutes-marry-their-customers/?do=findComment&comment=20572765]]></link><description>Sorry,friend,this is not true!</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:35:49 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>News from Axios: The cost of blind loyalty</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397610-news-from-axios-the-cost-of-blind-loyalty/?do=findComment&comment=20572764]]></link><description>Exactly the same works in reverse - there are a 'hard core' group who hate him, and a 'hard core' group who love him - most people are ambivalent and perhaps make judgement based on individual policy rather than the individual himself.

It seems, from what you report, that 2nd-Generation Chinese have no love or allegience to the Motherland, China.  This might seem strange for American citizens who, in almost all cases, despite presidents such as Trump, retain Love of Country.....  Do you regard yourself as Chinese?  Or, perhaps you are playing the Long Game.......  China sends people like you to far-away worlds, such as Africa, South America, North America, etc....  And then......  You become "sleepers" who pretend to not have any allegiance outside of your adopted countries....and then...... Maybe someday soon.....  You all stand up and TAKE OVER THE WORLD.......  I often think about this potential.  Think of all the millions of Chinese restaurants around the world, for example.  This prospect does not worry me much though, of course.  I am waiting for the Chinese Takeover of the World, and have been, anyway, for many years.  Have you ever read the great book by Edgar Snow?   I loved that book.  But, concerning this Topic, I do worry about Chinese Parents who are not sufficiently informed about the realities of the USA, who truly do seem just too naieve and trusting with their daughters, and boys, too, as they seek a better life, and a better education, at schools like Yale and Harvard.</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_06/image.png.c5800b2c1769d434d110f69170b57956.png" length="386443" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:21:57 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why do so many Thai prostitutes marry their customers?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1343798-why-do-so-many-thai-prostitutes-marry-their-customers/?do=findComment&comment=20572760]]></link><description>Mine are.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:21:28 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>UN Report Accuses Israel of Genocide Against Children</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397359-un-report-accuses-israel-of-genocide-against-children/?do=findComment&comment=20572759]]></link><description>Why are you complaining?

Would be note worthy to see if this guy has any history of violence in Australia. If so, it would show inadequate the visa check system is if they are not checking for criminal records (which most countries do).   You see criminals all over Thailand, alot i have seen have massive criminals records back in the UK, but have secured themselves visas, and were never asked to show if they criminals.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:15:35 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why do so many Thai prostitutes marry their customers?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1343798-why-do-so-many-thai-prostitutes-marry-their-customers/?do=findComment&comment=20572756]]></link><description>Yes,mostly the prostitutes are really very good girls!</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:07:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why do so many Thai prostitutes marry their customers?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1343798-why-do-so-many-thai-prostitutes-marry-their-customers/?do=findComment&comment=20572755]]></link><description>Because Whites know how to treat a lady!</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:04:07 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>News from Axios: The cost of blind loyalty</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397610-news-from-axios-the-cost-of-blind-loyalty/?do=findComment&comment=20572754]]></link><description>You suggest logic is needed then don't use any when using the prise of fuel at the pump...  Examples over the last 3 terms. Trump (2017&#x2013;Jan 2021) Average prices mostly ranged between $2.25 and $2.80/gallon. The exceptionally low prices in 2020 were largely due to the collapse in demand during COVID, rather than energy policy alone. Biden (2021&#x2013;Jan 2025) Prices climbed sharply as the economy reopened after COVID. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 pushed oil prices higher worldwide. National averages exceeded $5/gallon in some months during 2022, although the annual average was about $4.06/gallon. Prices then gradually fell through 2023 and 2024. Trump (2025&#x2013;present) 2025 saw the lowest average gasoline price in three years, around $3.10/gallon. Early 2026 saw a temporary spike above $4/gallon during heightened tensions involving Iran before prices retreated as markets stabilized.  Thus, in broad terms: Trump's first term: generally $2.25&#x2013;2.80/gal (excluding the COVID anomaly). Biden's term: generally $3.10&#x2013;4.50+/gal, with the 2022 spike. Trump's second term so far: roughly $3.10/gal on average in 2025, with a temporary geopolitical spike in 2026.  Realistically, no U.S. president directly controls gasoline prices. The biggest drivers are: global crude oil prices, OPEC+ production decisions, wars and geopolitical disruptions, refinery outages, seasonal fuel blends, and overall supply and demand.  Presidential policies can influence production, permitting, and long-term supply, but the largest short-term swings at the pump are usually driven by global market events rather than White House decisions alone.  Your example falls flat - I'm no Trump fan, but it astonishes me the flawed examples people will use in their attempts to attack his administration or the person himself.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 18:59:43 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>us strikes iran targets</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397609-us-strikes-iran-targets/?do=findComment&comment=20572753]]></link><description>Yes I know that.
