Is It Better to Date a “6” Than a “10” in Thailand?
Solicited or unsolicited it doesn't matter. The result will be the same. You ask somebody if your girlfriend is pretty they will say yes. You meet some friends with your girlfriend and they want to compliment you on your choice of a partner so they will tell you that she's pretty. It's all the same. It might be sincere or it might not. But nobody's ever going to tell you that your girlfriend is ugly, even if she is. -

Biden Prepares to Exit White House Quietly as Trump Dominates the Spotlight
As President Joe Biden readies to leave the White House, his departure is marked by an understated approach. Meanwhile, Democrats are eager to move forward after a challenging year punctuated by another loss to President-elect Donald Trump, who has dominated public and media attention even before officially taking office for a second term. In the weeks since the election, Biden has focused on a mix of international and domestic priorities. He embarked on significant foreign trips, including efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza, increased assistance to Ukraine, and participated in holiday events around Washington. Additionally, Biden made headlines with a controversial move: just days before Christmas, he commuted the sentences of 37 individuals on federal death row. Biden also pardoned his son, a decision that drew considerable attention, while continuing to deliver speeches on various topics. Yet, despite these actions, his presence has been overshadowed by Trump’s high-profile announcements and activities. Trump has filled the media landscape with a flurry of announcements regarding his second-term Cabinet, a network television interview, and his first press conference post-election at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Simultaneously, Trump and his allies played a prominent role in contentious year-end government funding negotiations—a process from which Biden and the White House remained largely absent. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) instead emerged as the leading Democratic voice in the discussions. Critics, particularly Republicans, have pointed to Biden’s low visibility as a continuation of his presidency’s broader communication challenges. GOP strategist Doug Heye remarked, “He’s been disappeared for a long time. We saw him go to Africa, didn’t take any questions that anybody could see, and was largely shielded from the press. We know he’s going to go to Italy, presumably, media will have the same amount of access.” Democrats, for their part, have shown limited enthusiasm for defending Biden in his final days. Many express frustration and a sense of resignation over how his presidency is concluding. “There’s just such a great level of sort of disappointment on the way this presidency is ending. It’s almost like a resignation at this point,” said a Democratic lobbyist. “Among Democrats, nobody’s looking forward to Donald Trump being president, but everybody’s ready for the Biden presidency to be done.” As the transition unfolds, the contrast between the outgoing president’s subdued exit and the incoming president’s assertive reentry highlights the divergent paths their leadership styles have taken. Biden, while continuing his work until the end, is fading quietly from the forefront as the nation prepares for a new chapter under Trump’s renewed leadership.
