After the first 6 months of 2026, the S&amp;P 500 and the NASDAQ are up approx. 10% and 18% respectively. You sound like a broken record regarding your constant criticism of Trump. I recommend that you jump on the Trump bandwagon and join the winning team. As you know, America loves a winner and can not tolerate a loser!]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 13:37:58 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Your current leading locations for a Plan B backup to Thailand?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396672-your-current-leading-locations-for-a-plan-b-backup-to-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20585962]]></link><description>I just double checked with AI.

BTW, Ecuador has a pure investment visa option which goes up annually. Currently about 46K USD mostly used to buy real estate as the bank CD option pays very low interest. You can actually buy a small unit in Cuenca for about that. Much more affordable than Uruguay.</description><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 13:33:39 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Marry at Madison Square Garden</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398027-taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-marry-at-madison-square-garden/?do=findComment&comment=20585957]]></link><description>It's amazing how these people inject Trump into everything.</description><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 13:32:34 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Your current leading locations for a Plan B backup to Thailand?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396672-your-current-leading-locations-for-a-plan-b-backup-to-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20585956]]></link><description>Are you sure?

No sneaking out at night, she would register at school, then duck out with a boy or three to hide in the Temple opposite school. Final straw was when she stole one of our m/cs and spent the night somewhere else. The school expressed surprise that I put up with her for so long.  It's poop when you give them every opportunity, pay for everything, and they make no effort.</description><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 13:31:11 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Teen&#x2019;s Body in Suitcase as Aussie Carried On, Police Say</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398079-teens-body-in-suitcase-as-aussie-carried-on-police-say/?do=findComment&comment=20585952]]></link><description>He picked her up on Beach Road, not in a bar. I do have to wonder why she would have gone with an old bloke back to his room. What 17yo girl does that unless they are after something.

It is that after writing the topic yourself, you then had to ask Gemini to explain what you meant.  That rather defeats the whole purpose of communication, doesn't it? If the author has to paste an AI generated interpretation underneath his own writing because nobody, nor even himself, can work out what he is hoping to express, perhaps the problem is not the readers.  This has become a recurring theme with you. You throw half a dozen loosely connected thoughts into an industrial strength blender, slam it into puree mode, call it a topic, then congratulate yourself when Gemini manages to reconstruct something mildly rational from the debris. You seem to mistake AI performing literary CPR on your posts as evidence that there was any salient topic there to begin with.</description><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 13:16:17 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Starmer Says Family Drove Decision to Resign</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398028-starmer-says-family-drove-decision-to-resign/?do=findComment&comment=20585945]]></link><description>He was despised by the pensioners, the farmers, the armed forces etc. He was brought in to lead the Nation and failed everyone.
