I take it you prefer the one who is three (3) years younger and sixty pounds fatter. He doesn't have a finger on a button but he passes US secrets on to those who do. But he says Biden will lead us into WW II. That one?

This edition of AN is rank with navel gazing by the usual suspects.

It's all good though. It helps me wean off the site entirely. There is seldom anything of interest here now.

Please start some better threads then.

I find it bizarre that with the horrible things going on in the world the part that makes you happy to leave this mortal coil is people caring about climate change or some bloke somewhere saying he feels like he's a woman.

War in the Ukraine/Israel/Timbuktu doesn't affect my personal freedoms, wokism does!

Does it really though or is it just something you read about on the internet.

From a purely selfish point of view wars probably have an actual affect in increased prices and such. Increased security and affect on tourism etc.

The biggest risk to men in the west is a woman making a claim against you.

There's almost no defense, you're guilty and will at the very least lose your employment forever.

In some places in the UK, talking to a woman in the street was an arrestable offense (2 years jail).

I agree there are specific situations where the rights of a particular subset of people get out of hand. Often where they have had real difficulties and unfairness in the past but the pendulum swings a bit far.  But I think it naturally swings back.

 

Internet posters or news outlets though can scour world news to find one example in a little town somewhere that fits their agenda and they can sell to the world and suggest that is the new norm and we all need to be worried. 

 

Call me old fashioned, but for such issues to make one irredeemably lose faith in humanity, as compared to horrible massacres or a tyrant attempting to bully a particular nation into submission, is a bit crazy.

The world outside mine, doesn't really concern me, and I just don't care.   They can all kill each other if that is their desire. Have at it.

 

My big worldly priority, is finding something to do the next 6 days, while Out & About.  Can't say the weather is cooperating, though the rain knocked a bit of the early seasonal smog down at Kanchanaburi.   

 

That was an unwelcome surprise, from Hua Hin to here, and hills are a blur already.

 

Was thinking about heading up to the Mon Bridge area, but that's 3 hr each way, and been there before.  Plus, recent photos had clear blue skies...hmm

 

Now just need to find nice coffee shop or restaurant riverside, or up by SaiYok WF.    It's there, it's free, might as well take a peek.

That's because those people make my life worse. The other horrible stuff going on doesn't, as it's far away. That sort of stuff has been going on all my life, but I wasn't personally involved. Taxing me for an unproven theory makes me PO.

Of course wokism affects us. When the government loves to introduce woke policies it does affect us.
