Norwegian weather is what I miss the most when I’m in Thailand, and the food, of course.

The "owner" called himself Cobra Joe and once introduced me to his 5 wives: one each, Lawa, Lahu, Akha, Hmong and Karen (maybe, I don't clearly recall). Joe offered guide service for motorcycle excursions outside Tachilek, and as I understand it, never returned from an exploration to the west of town, an area to which Wa people were being resettled. It would interest me, if anyone could add details about this.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 05:47:38 +0000Try Hola VPN free version, I've used it for several years and it's never let me down.

Okay, I'll give you 20 personally, and I'm thinking that's a stretch. How well do you actually know those? Granted this generation on their medias seem to not be too knowledgeable but unless you actually know them, impossible to judge. Maybe the ones you know aren't as educated as those I do, but most of the Americans I've ever known personally have been pretty swift, as far as what I saw being around them more than a few times. There will always be a middle class in America, and more are moving from there upwards and not down. Population increases mean higher prices, so it's not as easy to get by as before, but they seem to. This doesn't seem to be how America is except as noted much earlier in time................Key Characteristics of Isolationism Diplomatic Detachment: Avoiding foreign alliances, mutual defense pacts, and participation in international peacekeeping or geopolitical coalitions. Economic Protectionism: Restricting international trade, tariffs, and global agreements to ensure the domestic economy becomes completely self-reliant (a concept known as autarky). Military Non-Intervention: Refusing to take sides in foreign wars or conflicts that do not directly threaten national security. The Spectrum of Isolationism Pure Isolationism: Complete withdrawal from the global community. Historically, examples include Tokugawa-era Japan (1603–1868), which completely sealed its borders. Modern North Korea is often cited as a contemporary example, maintaining a strict policy of Juche (self-reliance). Limited Isolationism: A broad strategy of prioritizing domestic issues while maintaining minimal diplomatic or trade ties. Historically, the United States practiced a form of limited isolationism during the 19th and early 20th centuries, formally documented in the Monroe Doctrine and the George Washington Farewell Address, which warned against "entangling alliances." Student debt has always been a problem, and when you want your children in college, that means debt. The schools are charging more now, along with budget cuts, but this has been since early 2000's. Housing prices go up and down, as they always have. America has a great health and medical system, and anyone that needs it can go to public hospitals. That some choose unhealthy lifestyles is on them, not the system. America can have free health and likely will someday. If you think you understand all of the reasons why America attacked Iran, you haven't been paying attention, and likely Trump is too much on your mind, like a few others.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 05:44:21 +0000nope, it was all a business deal and consensual agreements that included the Phu Yai as wellFri, 26 Jun 2026 05:44:01 +0000But I think the “snillisme” will stop now, and things will change in the future. But it have been a process for decades already. “Snillisme” is a unique Norwegian word. I would translate it as “kindism” — when kindness becomes so soft that it creates problems. The term “snillisme” is generally credited to Rune Gerhardsen, who introduced it in 1991in an interview with the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet. He later expanded the idea in a book, and the word quickly entered Norwegian political debate. Originally, snillisme referred to what Gerhardsen saw as misplaced or excessive kindness—a society that was so reluctant to set boundaries or make demands that kindness became counterproductive. Over time, the word broadened and is now often used about overly soft approaches to crime, discipline, immigration, parenting, education, and politics.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 05:43:29 +0000I've been to Norway a few times, work related.

It can take 3 weeks for the banks to correct an error. Agoda would have to check the booking details then send thru refund request to head office. The staff would be getting a 50 to 100 refund requests a day due to the size of the company so would need to process them one by one. Airline refunds can also take weeks. I had to wait for over a month.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 05:41:00 +0000and the military start to ask questions as they don't see an end to the "" 4days"" war as Putin claimed when he decided to move in Ukraine, military no happy trouble on the horizon ... if the country isn't told the "truth" about the war. Alexander Lunin addressed the Russian president to warn of "very serious consequences" if his demands were ignored. The 39-year-old father of two went on to say he'd been asked to "deliver a message" to Putin by unnamed military officials and members of the security services. They told him to demand a meeting with Putin at the Kremlin that would include a "live-broadcast audience," he said, so that the country could learn the "truth" about what is going on.
