You can seek out lesser known musicians that are not connected to the devil.  But most people are so brainwashed or fixed in their ways that they will only listen to the mainstream bands.  This is a good song I recently discovered by The Pearlfishers.</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 09:55:11 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thailand Tops Asia Retirement Ranking</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397878-thailand-tops-asia-retirement-ranking/?do=findComment&comment=20581478]]></link><description>Well some people are really passionate about their work such as artists. etc.</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 09:55:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Positive Topic</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397947-positive-topic/?do=findComment&comment=20581477]]></link><description>Who made you the hall monitor?</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 09:53:14 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>russia runs out of gasoline</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397554-russia-runs-out-of-gasoline/?do=findComment&comment=20581476]]></link><description>Time for Putin and his close mates to bring  back a few of the billions stashed outside?

I usually make microwave raspberry or mixed berry jam using their frozen packs. Costs a fraction the price of their jars of jam and no added chemicals required. 1Kg of berries + 0.5Kg sugar = 4-5x jars of jam costing about 30bht each.</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 09:50:25 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump has re-defined corruption</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397886-trump-has-re-defined-corruption/?do=findComment&comment=20581473]]></link><description>This is classic unfalsifiable political rhetoric: "He's destroying everything, trust me bro." No mechanisms, no policies, no metrics, no timeline details. Just vibes and catastrophizing. When someone, as in you, says "dismantling democracy" without naming specifics like: 	&#x2022;	Suspending elections, 	&#x2022;	Jailing opponents en masse, 	&#x2022;	Shutting down opposition media, 	&#x2022;	Canceling the Constitution, &#x2026;it usually means they dislike outcomes (policy wins, rhetoric, court rulings, or election results) and are dressing it up as existential threat. Actual democratic breakdowns (e.g., historical examples in Latin America, Turkey, Hungary, etc.) involve measurable steps: arresting rivals, censoring press, rigging rules, ignoring courts. None of that is happening here. Your post is emotional venting disguised as analysis. No examples = no serious argument. US democracy has survived far worse (Civil War, Great Depression, world wars, scandals). Maybe being a Trump hating non American you can&#x2019;t grasp rational analysis. Policy disagreements and bruised international feelings aren't "dismantling." If you have specific, evidence-based examples of irreversible democratic collapse, then share them. Your profound vagueness reveals it's mostly feelings with a secondary infection of pure derangement. Repairing "damage" usually starts with lowering the temperature and engaging specifics instead of apocalyptic fanfiction.</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 09:49:50 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>International Driving Permit for Long-Term Visitors in Thailand</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397750-international-driving-permit-for-long-term-visitors-in-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20581472]]></link><description>When I first took insurance out my licence details were required, I gave my U.K. Licence, I have since renewed my insurance 3 times and I have never been asked for an updated licence albeit I have an IDP.

I actually gave up working when I hit $1M5. I can never understand the urge to keep working when you already have more than you can ever spend? Work gets in the way of having a life ......... totally pointless.  Wish I'd never worked at all, could have come to Thailand when I was 24, and just played.

Doesn't exist. The device will cost you perhaps 14 to 15k with everything installed.  I think you are reaching the point where you won't find anyone to help you any more. With all the advice you are given, you always choose to do something else and end up with something non-existing or just a pile of junk. Look at the two options above or go for one of the second hand options shown to you earlier. Otherwise you are just going to keep on getting the wool pulled over your eyes, looking for something that even experienced eyes cannot see.</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 09:39:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Politics, PC, un-PC, any subject, Satire via MEME or Vid (shorts)</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1325294-politics-pc-un-pc-any-subject-satire-via-meme-or-vid-shorts/?do=findComment&comment=20581455]]></link><description/><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 09:37:49 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
