Best Way To Maintain A Healthy Sex Life As You Age?
"Personally I prefer no commitments and to stay free and go with the flow" Is that the "healthy" sex life that you wish to maintain? It sounds like you're actually asking "how can I get sex as I grow older without committing to anyone?" I've a feeling that I have replied to a similar question from you before, with you using a different name, and that I told you I thought you were a manipulative sociopath.......was that you? Or is your post nothing to do with you getting "advice".......just a "talk about sex and get clicks" one? -

5 year multiple entry DTV visa (Destination Thailand) from 2024-xx-xx
Submitted at P-P on Wednesday 28 Aug Documents: 1) form 2) photo 3) printed e-statement from thai kasikorn bank (6 months), via KPlus app 4) receipt dated 3 Aug from small dental clinic for some dental work, with a note that next dental appointment will be 21 Sep making a mold for dentures and next 21 Oct fitting the freshly made dentures wet stamp and signed by cashier. I do really need the dentures, all was real. 5) Tax slip for clinic license for current year 2567 (printed in color) Except #4 everything else was not signed or stamped These I gave to a man sitting in the booth outside. He does basic pre-check of your docs, staples papers together and gives you queue number. Booth opens at 8-45. Next you go next door to the main office. Wait until 9-00 when they start accepting applications. 6) I was asked to provide a copy of first passport page, which I immediately pulled out of my backpack. Meaning that pre-check is very very basic. 7) 400$, problem was that my 4 x 100$ bills were old (2006 series) and rejected! I was told to go across the street to the BIDC bank and change my old bills to new ones. They did help me at the bank, went back, paid, and got visa slip. That was it! Waited until 4 Sep 15-00, went in, showed my slip, got my passport with a shiny new "feel-like-a-Boss" visa) Thai remark says "passport will expire 18.04.2029" like it does not say this on the main page already, oh well. 5 Sep flew to DMK, somewhat young lady at passport control had a bit of a problem and started to call older man for help ( I assume saw my ED from 2022, then 2 stamps in a row Apr-Jul Jul-Sep and thought I was a trouble maker) and then found my DTV I presume and said aah it's ok now. couple more minutes of head scratching and the older man helped her to get the 6-month stamp with a correct date. DONE, no questions whatsoever. After that I said in thai ( I waited for this type of visa for 7 years, and today finally got it, yay! She gave me a thumbs up and said "your passport will expire before the visa"). -

Gift Allowance / Tax Questions
Do you mean no questions asked by the Thai Revenue Department, who knew about these transactions because you told them, and who accepted them as gifts that reduced your tax burden? -

How does tax work for people in Thailand on the DTV?
How does tax work for people in Thailand on the DTV? like for everybody else, see post above. The only visa which gives tax exemptions is the LTR. No imho Same in Thailand. Until now, you needed a WP to work here. DTV doesn't need a WP. They think if you are employed by a company abroad, you have to be a tax resident to be taxed, so 179 days tax-free. Because they look at Sec 41 (1) of the RC . Sherrings mention a case from 2009 - those guys needed a WP which you don't need as a DTV holder. https://sherrings.com/thailand-source-income-personal-tax.html Good luck with that, I don't know whether TRD will agree This whole logic doesn't apply to freelancers. -

U.S. Charges Russian RT Employees in Alleged Election Influence Scheme
A former DOJ prosecutor who worked on the Mueller investigation said that when Mueller was being questioned he said of this stuff "it is happening as we speak." The real question is WHY THE HELL WAS NOTHING DONE ABOUT IT? DT keeps bringing up russiarussiarussia and he has made it conspicuous. He's overplaying badly. -

Fraud Scandal Rocks Phuket Condo Project: Aussies Demand Justice
But, unlike Australia, UK and everywhere, Phuket is absolutely littered with abandoned developments, many of them huge! I would imagine that there is a similar back story to most of them. When I first started coming to Phuket, the only one I noticed was at the south end of Nai Yang beach - now they are everywhere with more to follow I would guess. -

Eliminating Teachers The UK's First AI-Powered Classroom
Eliminating Teachers The UK's First AI-Powered Classroom Sounds like the AI enters the classroom and eliminates the teacher with a death ray. But how to deal with morality? E.g. will these things be making recommendations for genocide as a form of population control? -

Kamala Harris supports the Radical Trans and Homosexual Agenda
Project 2025 is a Heritage Foundation fascist manifesto developed by former Trump staffers. Trump himself does not care about gays or abortion other than that is the price of his fascist minions giving him more power. He will screw over anyone to gain power and avoid prison. If you are willing to trust a convicted felon, sexual predator and thief then you are a fool. Thousands have been stabbed in the back by Trump over the years and the MAGA morons do not yet see that they are being fleeced by a conman. It is not about you or any of his sycophants, it is about lining Trumps pockets and avoiding prison. If he manages to win or steal the election, he will turn over the business to the likes of Stephan Miller and just take a cut of the grift. -

Kamala Harris supports the Radical Trans and Homosexual Agenda
And what was the gay agenda that the achieved? Non-discrimination? Marriage equality? How does this affect you? If you do not want a gay marriage, don't get one. nobody is forcing you to do anything. If you accept the replacement theory of immigration you are an evil bigot. It is patently anti-Semitic and racist. It is also nonsense. What policies are targeting children? I have not seen anything that does not start with requests from the children. HRT and SRT are explicitly prohibited for minors. -

Is it possible to survive and do business WITHOUT a Smartphone?
Where is "here" in Thailand, exactly? What do you expect from 300 baht a day staff? Perhaps do your own research on products, then just go and buy it, and not interact with the staff other than the purchase transaction. Seriously, what did you expect from them?
