Feet are on the bed floor, hands holding nothing. Backflip out, mid truck. I hope the lad survives. Bad accident. Lotsa life still to live @ 20.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:40:49 +0000This shameless.troll topic is Jew washing extremist "anti -Zionism"Thu, 21 May 2026 16:38:11 +0000The problem with that is that any Congress person who defies Trump ends up losing the next election. The man has such low self-esteem, and such thin skin, he's such a victim and a snowflake, that he can't handle anything that even borders on dissent. Hopefully all this will change after the midterms and Trump will become doubly impotent.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:38:03 +0000Wrong. I come back twice a year so it's not the cumulative effect of several years. Everybody that I know here, whether they're just getting by or they're quite wealthy are complaining about how inflation is soaring, and it's out of control. The CPI numbers are a fiction created by the very dishonest government, using entirely skewed metrics. It's not just the Goon, all Administrations do that. The cost of living in America is completely out of control.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:36:05 +0000The risk with something like this is that the moral fiber of the nation could be corrupted. The purity has to remain intact. No chances should be taken to disturb the angelic nature of the land. Some people are so obsessed with social media and posting nonsense, that they have no discriminatory faculties when it comes to what not to post. My wife just pointed out to me a post of a guy who's undergoing a sex change operation and it showed a photo of his balls that had been removed and placed on a steel table. I just don't know if that's something I'd be bragging about.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:33:52 +0000Only when my mom let's me. Which isn't very often. 😥Thu, 21 May 2026 16:32:54 +0000Perfect example of projection. You never find positive forums. Like home biased soccer crowds. Cheering one side and booing the other. Small minded people dominate the crowd. No hopers booing guys who make 30m to defeat their fav team.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:31:42 +0000He builds disputes, he builds unnecessary wars, he builds disharmony, he builds incomplete ballrooms, he builds casinos that go bankrupt, and he builds the destruction of alliances, he builds hatred amongst fellow Americans, that's the kind of building he's an expert at.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:31:07 +0000Some lighthearted news, it makes a nice change from the daily carnage stories.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:30:55 +0000WARNING! AI SLOP INCOMING!Thu, 21 May 2026 16:30:46 +0000When has Sweden rescinded passports? There is a stark difference between your imagined world and reality. If your claim was accurate, Thailand would not be hosting multiple violent Swedish nationals. The most blatant example are the motorcycle gang thugs who have bars and traffic in drugs and sex workers.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:30:02 +0000More Kremlin propaganda and topic hijacking. Why waste time engaging with such distorted crapalo. Ukraine is now kicking Putin's Z fascist ass. Focus on thatThu, 21 May 2026 16:29:52 +0000I am all for it. Go chess all in and completely forget about AN. Best idea you have ever had.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:29:35 +0000Yes, and we all love how you’re such a subtle chap of so few words, so tirelessly busy performing vital tasks and really getting things done. Pure strength and a true man of the people, naturally, and never once guilty of a shred of waffle.

It’s widely attributed to Sir Anthony Hopkins, who has spoken often in interviews about the immense relief of letting go of other people's expectations as he aged. The full sentiment he often expresses boils down to a simple, liberating truth: What people think of you is their projection, not your reality. When you truly adopt this mindset, a few massive shifts happen: You reclaim your energy: Trying to manage, predict, or influence what someone else thinks about you is an absolute exhausting hamster wheel. It's a game you can't win because their opinions are filtered through their insecurities, their past, and their mood—none of which you can control. You stop seeking permission: When the need for external validation drops to zero, you finally start making choices purely based on what is authentic, effective, and right for you. It cuts both ways: The flip side of "none of my business" is that you also stop taking things so personally. If someone thinks you're arrogant, or crazy, or brilliant, or foolish—that's just the narrative they’ve built. You're too busy living your life to read their script. It takes a lot of self-possession to get to that point, but once you're there, it’s pure peace. Everything else is just background noise.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:22:37 +0000UPDATE: Emergency Salvation of Truck-Tire Pork Roast meat..... a. As of now, this experimental pork roast looks like this: b. It is so rubbery, though, that I would not feed it to a Pit Bull. c. My Emergency Strategy for this Test is to do the following.... I will cover this dish, and re-insert the dish into the oven. I will also increase the heat to: 190-degrees C. I will maintain this temp for 50 minutes. Then, I will remove this travesty, and let it rest for about 20 minutes. Then, I will try the FORK PENETRATION test. If the fork bounces off the meat.... Then....it will be time to...... CALL IN THE SOI DOGS.....!!!!!Thu, 21 May 2026 16:21:09 +0000Just darn tragic. A young lad out for adventure and ends up under the back wheel of a pickup. Geez, I really hope he recovers- but it seems unlikely.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:18:53 +0000If you are referencing the United States (U.S.) then yes, blacks were originally imported to the United States from Africa. Of course later they immigrated to the U.S. legally. President Lincoln had a plan for the black people of the U.S. after the Civil War but it did not come to fruition.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:17:43 +0000You need to check the DTA (Double Taxation Agreement) between your home country and Thailand; they are all slightly different. For us Danes we can be taxed of retirement pension in both countries the DTA says, but Denmark insist of taxing — i.e., "kildeskat" — as source country. The DTA protects us for double taxation, so we don't also pay tax in Thailand, as the Danish income tax is (way) higher than Thai income tax.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:14:01 +0000They are radicalised. Same way terrorists get radicalised down a rabbit hole, these racists are being radicalised too. There is literally nothing you can say that will change racism. They need proper therapy. I sit with guys like this in Pattaya all the time, usually from the UK, you cannot argue facts with them. One guy was adamant muslims were taking over the UK, and the population was now virutally all muslim. When i pointed out to him that Muslims were only 6% of the population, he would not have it and did not believe the statistics. So then how can i continue the discussion ? I would have more respect for them if they just came out and said 'yeah i'm racist' lol, but no they love to pontificate. Always the same Brits who move abroad for a better life, then hate those who want to move abroad to the UK to seek a better life. Irony is not lost on them. Oh wait .. the defense, we are good 'expats' ... as they sit in a bar at 10am sipping on the 3rd pint for breakfast, checking the pension balance to see if they have enough to pay for a prostitute later on - QUALITY TOURIST.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:13:42 +0000Small update. Holocaust denier Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the leader Israel and the US wanted to install in Iran. Israel! WTF!Thu, 21 May 2026 16:11:09 +0000But no mention of Bulgaria anywhere on these lists, though!Thu, 21 May 2026 16:08:51 +0000Shame these forums are full of dumb people. Maybe a chess forum is the way to go.Thu, 21 May 2026 16:07:44 +0000I think I have seen this guy somewhere before:Thu, 21 May 2026 16:07:15 +0000
