PM Paetongtarn Faces Threat with Impeachment Over Cabinet Pick
Thailand will have a new PM every other day until they embrace real democracy -

US Navy introduces 'first gender-neutral submarine.' What could possibly go wrong?
Nice. OP ed is dead on arrival in the first sentence. No link? I'm sure as Russian and Chinese navies seek locations of US naval forces worldwide that their first objective is to determine whether such US naval vessels are toilet gender neutral. -

Does your Thai wife keep you on a short leash?
The stories that I've heard and the things that men have subjected themselves to here, remind me of life back in the West. It is as if they moved here and they didn't realize the geography, the culture, the behavior, and everything else here is completely different and they adapted their way exact same way of life that they had back home, and they never set any boundaries. If you are with a woman who is possessive and jealous that is entirely on you, and you have to own it, it's 100% your fault. Whether it's a Philippina or Thailand woman, they tend to be quite jealous, and it requires a man to push back and to establish boundaries very early on, to make her aware of the fact that I don't do jealousy, and if you're going to do jealousy around me this is not going to work. Time is your ally, not hers. So she will push the timetable, and you need to push back. Take your time. If it is good, it will only get better, if there are issues, it takes time to see them and for them to play out. If you are unwilling to communicate about issues we have, then we have no chance. Zero, so do you understand that? Is it worth it to you, to deal with this? Because your avoidance and silence is intolerable. Do you get that? So she needs to adapt or move on. Tell her, look, I don't really need you, I like being around you, if things work great, but if you make this difficult for me I'm going to move on. They need to see, hear and feel that kind of pushback early on. I did it, and it worked. You are able to determine whether or not this is a woman who is worthy of your time, and whether or not this is a woman who is capable of being the kind of person that you want to be with. If not, move on. It's really that simple. -

Thai woman caught lying on baggage conveyor at Krabi Airport
Childish act. Usually, it's children who like to ride on these conveyers. Lying on the belt is a strange thing to do, they're not the cleanest place for that activity. Baggage handlers, sniffer dogs and others walk on them and all sorts of spills from luggage could contaminate them. Why not just lie down in the toilets? (I worked in airports for years) -

True but what if she did have some sort of accident in the process of having some infantile fun. Whether the injury occurred on the conveyor or getting on or off it. I am sure she would expect the airline to compensate her . -

From marriage extension to retirement: single query.
Thanks for that, DrJack. Good point. For me, it's seeing how easy a retirement extension application 'appears' to be, to me, amongst the expat acquaintances of mine. But yes, more sitting cash in the account involved. -

Thailand: Where white LOSERS that can’t get LAID go
The only thing that I see in this video is one smart lass who knows how to increase her YT page views/clicks by antagonising viewers who will respond/share her video. 20 or so years ago I did exactly the same thing with my 'Natachata' AI SMS sex chat program. By insulting users with sexual put-downs etc, they felt forced to respond, (and I therefore made more money). Her strategy seems to work... -

ICEV & EV Fires ... worldwide
Emphasis on 'some businesses' and their right of course. Two thoughts: ... ignorance always breeds fear ... and there's lots of 'old tech' out there, so a good precaution, along with people are just plain stupid, and can't be trusted. I would think the practical thing to do, is have all EVs, (BEV & Hybrids) park on the top/open floor of parking garages. Problem solved, if available. -

Trump and Loomer: The relationship That Needs Explaining
https://www.inquisitr.com/what-laura-loomer-wants-from-donald-trump-is-terrifying-according-to-former-aide “I would imagine maybe she wants to be White House press secretary…and that is what is most concerning to me because I’ve talked about this threat of, ‘Who will be staffing a second administration?’” Matthews said -

Health Supplements
Never had 'high blood pressure'. The most successful actions I have found to stay lean, feel energetic and sleep soundly for 8 hours is regular daily exercise: walking every day toward a couple of miles, stretching, some light yoga and just the basic Vitamin supplements; A,D,E,C,Zinc,B12. A plus if you can make protein drinks; yogurt, frozen berries or best fresh, protein powder, cut fruit, any other powder supplements that indicate to you. No drugs or prescription meds. No smoking. No alcohol. No fried foods. Grass fed beef. Organic shopping as much as realistic. Regular sexual activity. Also awareness of dehydration in the Thai Sun and take daily electrolyte drink from three store bought ingredients that all the electrolyte products are made from; Salt, Potassium Chloride and Magnesium Glycinate. It's a fallacy that HBP is due to too much salt. There has never been a verifiable research on it that shows salt is harmful. In fact there are studies that show the longest living groups of humans consume much more salt daily than the average American. Good luck. -

Thailand: Where white LOSERS that can’t get LAID go
This is more of a generational issue more than a race or gender issue. Young people that act this way are becoming more common because of social media -

Thai Benefits vs Taxation.
The population of Thailand is not relevant to how many people pay tax, the size of the workforce is the only factor since Thai retirees, disabled, incarcerated and children don't typically file tax returns. The size of the Thai work or labour force is calculated at 38 million people. A couple with one child have sizeable allowances and deductions before they must file a tax return, their TEDA are: + 60k Personal Allowance, +150k zero rated for tax = 210k as above for the second person, +30k for the child = 240k Total 450k or 37.5k each per month.....Thai nationals can live on that here. -

Tariffs and how Trump is a socialist.
As far as I'm concerned one of the most dangerous, reckless, and poorly thought out policies that Trump has proposed, are even higher tariffs on many classes of imported products. Who ends up paying for this? American companies who are manufacturing in China, and the consumer, that's who. In the end huge taxes may encourage companies to pull out of China, which is a good thing, but how long will that process take, and what will the economic consequences be in the interim? He is not a socialist. He is a failed capitalist. It is fairly easy to get wealthy if you are willing to steal most of your fortune from unsuspecting small contractors. Yet he still went bankrupt. That requires a special kind of skill. Or another form of grifting. His tax hike proposals would end up being a disaster. If they were highly targeted tariffs, only imposed upon goods other states were subsidizing, making it impossible to compete, that makes sense and would be good policy. But, blanket tariffs end up being punitive for the American consumer and American companies forced to operate overseas due to the silly costs of manufacturing in the US. They are a tax. Trump lies when he says other nations will pay for them. He lies when he says companies will pay for them. Consumers will pay, so it becomes a tax. Be bold, big Don and for once be honest. It is a tax hike. And it could slow down the economy and result in a massive loss of jobs, and major inflation. Very dumb policy.
