Michael Palin Criticizes BBC’s Health and Safety Obsession, Compares It to a "Theme Park"
I said "your" winter fuel allowance, referring to a collective group of people. I could also have used "their". But you already knew that. -

I Love Donald Trump
I challenged your assertions with statements of fact. Instead of specifically challenging those statements of fact, you just resorted to insults. I pointed out that according to the Constitution, presidents nominate supreme Court Justices. So if two vacancies occur president Harris would most likely nominate justices who would over turn the Dobbs decision. If Trump wins, most likely he would nominate justices who support the Dobbs decision. You have offers no refutation of this point at all. I also pointed out that Congress could enact act a law that aligns with Roe nationwide. It's likely that President Harris would sign that bill into law. And it's likely that President Trump would veto it. Once again, you will for no reputation of that point. So, despite your claim that it doesn't matter who is president as far as abortion irights are concerned, you are, in fact, dead wrong. -

Swastika Flags Flown During Donald Trump Boat Parade in Florida
That was my point of saying that Gwinett was historically red. So Gwinett being blue when fascist Trump is the ticket is extremely significant. With a normal republican they would be red again. Again I'm calling Georgia for Harris and I'm optimistic about Pennsylvania as well. -

Playing With Fire?
It’s understandable that you’re considering different approaches to getting the best experience, especially if you’re new to the P2P (pay-to-play) scene in Thailand. However, there are significant reasons why you might not want to be seen as a “mark” or easy target, and why the so-called long game could actually work against you in the long run, even though it seems tempting at first. The idea of a girl playing the “long game typically involves creating the illusion of genuine affection or even love, but it’s important to recognize that it’s part of a transactional dynamic. P2P relationships are based on financial exchange, and the long game isn’t about true emotions—it’s about maximizing profit over time. A girl who sees you as naïve or vulnerable is likely to view you as a source of ongoing income, and while she might give you more attention or effort in the beginning, the end goal is financial gain, not authentic connection. Your Well-being Might be Compromised When you’re seen as a target, you’re more likely to encounter manipulative tactics designed to take advantage of your perceived wealth or inexperience. This could range from simple overcharging or upselling to more serious scams that may involve emotional manipulation, lies about financial or family emergencies, or attempts to extract ongoing support. In extreme cases, you might even be targeted for theft or worse. When you’re viewed as an easy mark, you’re less likely to be treated with genuine respect, and this can lead to negative, even dangerous, experiences. You mentioned that having a girl try her hardest to make you fall in love sounds like it would lead to a better performance in bed. While it’s true that emotional engagement can improve chemistry, you shouldn’t confuse a girl playing the “long game” with someone actually giving you the best possible experience. In reality, when someone views you as a target, their focus is on what they can extract from you, not necessarily on creating a meaningful or mutually satisfying interaction. A professional who respects you and views you as a savvy client might actually be more motivated to give you a great experience because she understands that you have boundaries and expectations. Emotional Manipulation Takes a Toll Getting involved in the “long game” can mess with your emotions, especially if you’re new to this scene. Even if you go in knowing it’s all transactional, it’s easy to become emotionally attached to someone who’s actively trying to make you feel special. You might start developing feelings or hopes for something real, and this can lead to disappointment, frustration, or even heartbreak when the reality becomes clear. Emotional manipulation is exhausting, and once you’re tangled in it, it can be hard to extricate yourself without feeling used or betrayed. Keeping Boundaries Is Important In this scene, clear boundaries are your best defense. If you’re seen as knowledgeable and aware of the dynamics, you’ll be treated differently. Girls are less likely to try long-term schemes if they know you’re not easily fooled, and this can lead to more straightforward, honest interactions. Many professionals respect clients who know the game because they understand the value of a clean transaction without emotional manipulation. This way, you get what you pay for without any added drama or risk. Potential for Financial Loss If a girl is playing the long game, her goal is to secure as much financial benefit from you as possible. This could lead to you spending far more than you initially intended, either through repeated transactions or through emotional manipulation that convinces you to send money for things like medical bills, family emergencies, or “business investments” that never materialize. Even if you’re comfortable spending money, these long-term schemes can drain your resources quickly. True Power is in Control, Not Vulnerability It’s tempting to think that being seen as vulnerable or naïve will make a girl more interested in pleasing you, but the opposite is often true. When you’re in control of the situation—knowing the rules, setting clear boundaries, and making informed decisions—you’re more likely to have a positive experience. Vulnerability can lead to exploitation, whereas confidence and awareness can lead to better treatment and more satisfying encounters. A girl who knows you’re not easily fooled may actually work harder to provide a good service, knowing that you’ll leave if you’re not satisfied. Avoiding Reputational Damage Word spreads quickly in certain P2P circles. If you’re seen as an easy mark, other girls may also try to take advantage of you. You could quickly become known as someone who’s vulnerable to scams or manipulation, making it harder to have straightforward, hassle-free encounters in the future. Establishing yourself as a client who knows the game can help ensure that your future experiences are more respectful and drama-free. While it might seem appealing to have someone go the extra mile to make you feel loved and special, the long game comes with a lot of risks. Emotional manipulation, financial loss, and even potential harm to your well-being can all result from being seen as an easy target. Instead, focus on being a savvy client who knows the scene, sets clear boundaries, and prioritizes straightforward, respectful interactions. In the long run, this will lead to better experiences, both emotionally and physically, and will help you avoid the pitfalls that come from being seen as a mark. -

Trump will go after his perceived enemies
I agree. Maybe they don't realize that if Trump goes ahead with his mass deportation every brown person in America will be looked on as illegal. Do they really think MAGA will discriminate between legal and illegal brown people??? Every brown person in American will be asked by some MAGA Karen in the grocery store to see their papers. I hope they realize what a vote for Trump will mean for them. -

Majority of Americans Urge CBS to Release Full Transcript of Harris's Interview
Interesting that Trump has 'baked in' being a muppet and lying continuously....so interviews don't/can't harm him. If Harris fluffs her lines (possibly).....or if she started telling out an out lies with every utterance......all hell would break loose. Trump is, in that respect, a genius.- 1

Its too expensive I may leave
Da Nang and a few other places look great to me -- but I wouldn't want to do a visa run every 90 days -- that is a deal killer for me. That whole thing scares me -- what if I get sick and can't do the run? ..or I get too old and it's too tiring to do it? What if for some reason they don't let me back in? I would spend my entire retirement time worrying about it.
