Warning Signs: The Looming Collapse of a Critical Ocean System
Indeed. In the cosmic sense humanity will be just a blink. As I write this, entire solar systems are sucked into black holes elsewhere in the universe. Now that would be something a tad difficult to tax us out of. -

Thailand Vigilant Amidst 'Disease X' Outbreak in Africa
Good questions, as we are not allowed to work with tourism. I would be fine without tourists in Thailand. -

57-Year-Old Woman Found Dead in Deep Pond in Phatthalung
Picture from responders. A 57-year-old woman from Khao Chaison district, identified as Ms. Somporn Rakjun, was found dead in a deep pond, in her village on the afternoon of December 8. Relatives reported that she had previously claimed to hear mysterious voices urging her to jump into the water. Rescue teams from the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Unit of Phatthalung Province recovered her body from the pond, which is over 5 metres deep, 8 metres wide, and 12 metres long. The operation, which began at around 15.00 took approximately 30 minutes. Ms. Somporn’s body was found wearing a traditional Thai sarong and blouse with no visible injuries. Relatives shared that Ms. Somporn had exhibited unusual behaviour over the past month. She often claimed to hear voices instructing her not to eat and to jump into water. Concerned for her well-being, her family sought help from spiritual healers and medical professionals, but her condition remained unchanged. Ms. Somporn’s refusal to eat had left her severely underweight. On the day of the incident, Ms. Somporn had left her father’s house, where she had been staying due to recent flooding in her own home, to return to her house about 100 metres away. She left at around 09.00, but when she had not arrived by the afternoon, her family began searching for her. They found her sandals near the pond and feared she had jumped in. Authorities were contacted, and divers soon recovered her body. The body has been sent to Khao Chaison Hospital for an autopsy. Authorities have ruled out foul play, and the family has accepted her death as a tragic accident. -- 2024-12-09 -

Does “Not in the Mood” Even Exist in Asia?
A common frustration among Western men who’ve dated, lived with, or married Western women is the decline in sexual activity over time. The phrase “I’m not in the mood” (a more polite version of “I’ve got a headache”) comes up more and more as the relationship ages. It could also become a source of anger and frustration, leaving a guy feeling unappreciated, unwanted, and, of course, sexually unsatisfied. But what about in Asia? Many foreign men who date or marry Thai women—and other Southeast Asian women—may not feel this is nearly as much of an issue. In fact, a lot of Western men might be drawn to relationships in Asia precisely because they feel they don’t have to deal with this problem. So, is there something about Thai or Asian culture that fosters a different attitude toward sex in long-term relationships? Cultural differences could also play a role. In parts of Asia some women may feel a stronger sense of duty to their partners, including sexually. Sex might not be viewed solely as an act of passion but also as an essential part of maintaining harmony in the relationship and keeping a man’s interest. Additionally, there may be less open discussion about personal feelings, fatigue, or disinterest, meaning “not in the mood” simply isn’t expressed as often. On top of that, Asian women might believe that denying their partner sex risks him seeking a replacement elsewhere. But is it fair to assume Asian women are naturally more accommodating? Or is it more a case of the honeymoon phase lasting longer because these relationships often come with an added layer of cultural newness that keeps the spark alive for longer? This isn’t to say Asian women are perfect or that every relationship in Thailand is free of sexual tension or disagreements. However, many foreign men in Asia may have fewer struggles with rejection or disinterest compared to their previous experiences in the West. So, is “not in the mood” truly less common in Asia or not? -

Foreign Tourist Stuns Onlookers by Strolling Naked Through Phuket Hotel
This type of rude behaviour is not unique to Thailand. I recall many years ago sitting in Smith Street Mall in Darwin after completing a morning bike ride. We were enjoying a coffee and two naked male 'tourists' walked passed (It's never a naked female tourist🤔). These guys weren't drunk by all accounts and we supposed it was done as a bet. They disappeared around a corner and were later arrested and fingerprinted for indecent exposure. I was working as a fingerprint examiner for the police at the time, hence I was aware of the outcome. I wonder whether the bet was sufficient enough to cover their fine. -

I disagree that they force "solutions" on us. Taxes and windmills are not a solution. That's government exploiting the situation and making some people rich.
