Austrian to be Deported For Drunken Behaviour in Phuket

Quite likely he was high on kratom, yaba, M150 as well as ganja. Alcohol alone simply cannot be the cause.

Jew hatred has become fashionable especially among young people

Thu, 21 May 2026 00:31:01 +0000

I'm saying Israel is behaving similarly to the Nazis. Things seem to have come around full circle. Once the victim, now the perpetrators. But since they continue playing the Holocaust card, it's causing cognitive dissonance in the minds of many people. People still view the Israelis as victims. Here, check out this debate. We cannot continue ... You Israeli supporters are delusional and crazy. This situation is so far gone, so sick and vile and evil, yet you folks continue to thump your chests and find reasons to excuse all of this. Not sure how low things need to get before you start removing your head from your rectum. And continuously taking the moral high ground and attacking people for being anti-semitic when Israel is clearly committing evil acts before our eyes.

Was sorta my strategy lol Take a contract, forgo insurance, work complete contact and go abroad. Live for cheap. Return one year, couch surfing 3 months, get accomodations, rinse repeat for ten years....plow everything into stock market. Strategy backfired as I lost my IT skills and had enough of corporate bull. Bailed out at 43. Traveled another decade, met my wife. Two years later started teaching out of boredom and supplemental income and money for her when I die. First few years was rough, but last seven rewarding and decent pay especially last five. Compared to most I've had a very full life. One of my biggest regrets is not going to South America which I was disinterested in being an North American and to Africa. Had no super keen interest in Africa and South America just look like Mexico but different. I have traveled so much in Southeast Asia that I'm actually bored with it. I've lived in a number of East and Northeast Asian countries. I've spent years in India, Cambodia, Indonesia. Months in Myanmar, Lao, Vietnam. I'm now having a great time in Bangkok. I keep myself occupied during the days having lunch out and doing a bit of shopping. Of course there's always the massage girl and the side 😉 I just need to figure out how to get out of USD and US banks and still keep money secure and earning interest. I think most people under 65 in west like sucks. At best they are scrambling to keep up. The younger the more desperate. My friends in California with their 1.4 million home. All the taxes alone they will be working until they die just to live in that stupid house. Then you can add on the Medicare Advantage supplement, auto insurance home insurance, petrol, subscriptions and fees etc... My life is so simple. I've spent b20,000 a month for the past I don't know how many years and continue to keep that as my budget. Things have got much tighter but I've been able to more or less stay with the budget. In California burrito cost $12 and that's good deal Housing can open up easily just disallow corporations like BlackRock from owning single-family homes or better any domicile whatsoever.

Israeli security Minister Posts Abuse Video

Thu, 21 May 2026 00:30:30 +0000

Far rightwing Israeli Security Minister stirs diplomatic outrage by posting the video evidence of Israeli abuse of Flotilla Activists. Detaining people in international waters and physically abusing them, then helpfully posting the video evidence on line. “Ben-Gvir’s video drew a rapid and furious response from countries whose citizens were onboard the boats, including the UK, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, in many cases from the top of government. The US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, one of the country’s staunchest allies, described Ben-Gvir’s behaviour as “despicable” and said the minister had “betrayed the dignity of his nation”. Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has loudly criticized Ben-Givr stating: “You knowingly caused harm to our state in this disgraceful display – and not for the first time,” he said in a statement on X. “You are not the face of Israel.” Thank you Gideon Saar, but unfortunately, Ben-Givr is a face of Israel and is intent on showing the world just how ugly that face is. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/20/israeli-security-minister-itamar-ben-gvir-stirs-diplomatic-outrage-with-flotilla-activist-abuse-video

Depending on your age and health, maybe look at this. Via Gemini: In Thailand, a life insurance policy pays out without going through the court probate process, provided a living and legally recognized beneficiary is explicitly named on the policy. By directly designating a beneficiary, the funds are separated from the deceased's estate and can be distributed much faster.

thanks for sharing your data, it is interesting and helpful. one request to all pv owners: could you please briefly describe the basic setup of your systems in each post (c+p), eg. hybrid on grid / pv kwp, battery capacity, etc. this would save us (or me) from always collecting the system details from all the previous posts. many thanks to all pv solar owners who share their data and knowledge here ... 😀

I thought you were discussing Thailand. That was recently published days ago I recently visited Florida. Asked my uncle to take me into a cheap supermarket so I can survey the prices. Staples are not that out of line. Costco in California was higher, but survivable...for now Yes, inflation in US on many fronts. Long bond now over 5%. I think it hit 5.2! This is horrible news for all and especially government. Bessent will create new fake metrics for inflation like they did unemployment to ysmp things down. Gonna be a real show forward.

Has the US Supreme Court sold out to the GOP?

If you say so. That incident and the other two races directly influenced by Adelson, AIPAC money. The KY race had additional Jewish money backers as well beyond the direct 12M https://www.trackaipac.com/ American Jews are directly responsible for this corrupting influence on congress and worse yet, it's on behalf and behest of a foreign nation guilty of genocide and full of war criminals including it's prime minister and many top officials.

Train Driver at Controls Before Bangkok Crash

Thu, 21 May 2026 00:05:21 +0000

And, maybe we can add that the freight train should not have been there, at that time, in the first place. Freight trains were only legally allowed to go through that intersection between the hours of 9pm and 5am. Since the accident, this has now been adjusted to 10pm to 4am--I think reflecting how very busy that intersection is well into the late evening.
