US deploys “overwhelming lethal force” against Houthis in Yemen
I had great hopes for Trump this time, but he's losing the plot when it comes to the M E. When will the US learn that they can't win there, short of total war and the deaths of millions, as with Germany and Japan. The US hasn't won a major war since WW2, whether directly as in Korea ( armistice ), Vietnam ( where they were defeated by a bunch of peasants ) or in Afghanistan, ( defeated by a bunch of peasants ), or by proxy as in Ukaraine or that other conflict where their ally can't defeat a bunch of lightly armed irregulars. Trump avoided wars the first time by diplomacy, and I was hoping for a repeat, but he's very warmongerish this time. IMO the M E is where western nation's wars always end up in a humiliating withdrawal. -

Motorcyclist Killed in Crash on Dark Overpass as Residents Demand Streetlight Repairs
Picture from responders. A 28-year-old man was killed in a motorcycle crash on a poorly lit overpass in Pathum Thani, reigniting local frustration over the authorities’ failure to repair streetlights that have been out for years. The crash occurred at approximately 21:30 on 16 March on the Lat Lum Kaeo Ring Road Overpass heading towards the Nopphawong Intersection in Khu Bang Luang subdistrict, Lat Lum Kaeo district. Emergency responders arrived at the scene to find a black Honda Wave 125 motorcycle overturned, with the rider, identified as Anansak Phonmoh, 28, deceased at the scene. Local resident Preecha Kheawbamrung, a former assistant village head, revealed that the streetlights along the Pathum–Lat Lum Kaeo Road had been out for years, despite multiple complaints to the local highway department. “The entire stretch of road, including the overpass, is in complete darkness,” he said. “We’ve reported this issue many times, but no repairs have been made. The lack of visibility has led to frequent accidents, with both injuries and fatalities.” He added that streetlights along both sides of Highway 9 (Kanchanaphisek Road) had also been non-functional for a long time, making the area particularly dangerous for motorists, especially motorcyclists navigating junctions and merging lanes in the dark. The victim’s grieving wife arrived at the crash scene in tears. She explained that her husband worked as a maintenance technician for an automotive parts manufacturer in Lat Lum Kaeo. On the night of the crash, he had finished an overtime shift and returned home, only to realise he had left his mobile phone at work. He had set out on his motorcycle to retrieve it when the crash occurred. “I got a call from one of his colleagues telling me he had been in an accident,” she sobbed. “I never imagined this would be the last time I saw him.” Officers from Khu Bang Luang Police Station, along with experts from Lat Lum Kaeo Hospital, conducted an initial investigation at the scene. CCTV footage from the area is being reviewed to determine the exact cause of the crash. Authorities have transferred the victim’s body to the Forensic Science Institute at the Ministry of Justice, where it will be examined before being released to his family for funeral arrangements. Local residents are now renewing their calls for urgent streetlight repairs, fearing more lives will be lost if authorities continue to ignore their pleas. -- 2025-03-18 -

Is Earth round or flat ?
The presented footage warrants speculation, and differs radically from the depictions we are given. There is a big difference between this (Mars, courtesy of NASA): And this: The core issue is the relevance and reliability of NASA. The below footage captures Venus with a Nikon P900. Does this look anything like the Venus you have been shown since you were a child? NASA depiction: Captured with Nikon P900: Venus.mp4 -

Ah Pattaya, where self appointed experts go to continue their grand delusion.
I have never run into a "self appointed expert" in East Pattaya. Maybe your holiday plans need to change from central Pattaya.🙃🙃 -

So whats your favorite flavor ? _ Thai or Fillipino ?
I copied and pasted all of your posts from this topic into one ChatGPT chat and following is what it provided in response to your posts: The posts are filled with deeply offensive generalizations, misogyny, and racist stereotypes. The author dehumanizes both Thai and Filipino women, reducing them to their physical traits, perceived intelligence, and supposed moral failings, while presenting himself as a victim of their supposed shortcomings. His attitude is entitled, objectifying, and dismissive, treating relationships as transactions rather than human connections. There are a few key points that stand out: 1. Blatant Misogyny – The author makes sweeping negative claims about all women, suggesting that lying is their nature and that they lack morality. This is a textbook example of sexist stereotyping. 2. Racist and Xenophobic Stereotypes – Filipinas are repeatedly described in an insulting manner, both physically and mentally, while Thai women are only slightly “better” in his view. The way he speaks about both nationalities is demeaning and condescending. 3. Entitlement and Objectification – He talks about the women he has been with as if they were commodities, discussing the “cost” of their company, their desirability, and their usefulness in bed and housekeeping. 4. Disturbing Power Dynamic – His references to a “Filipina virgin” and how he had to go through bureaucratic trouble to bring her to Thailand highlight a deeply problematic perspective on relationships. He seems more frustrated with the logistical inconvenience than concerned about the woman herself. 5. Complete Lack of Empathy – At the end, he acknowledges that the woman he was with ended up in an exploitative situation as a domestic worker, but he treats it as an anecdote rather than showing real concern. Overall, the posts reflect a deeply toxic mindset. It’s a disturbing mix of misogyny, racism, and entitlement, where the author sees himself as superior while belittling the women he engages with. Instead of recognizing his own shortcomings in relationships, he blames an entire nationality or gender. It’s very likely that the Filipino woman was primarily motivated by financial security rather than genuine love. The reality is that in economically desperate situations, people—especially women in patriarchal societies—often have to prioritize survival over romantic ideals. The author frames the relationship as one of intense passion and “burning desire” on her part, but he also acknowledges their complete lack of meaningful communication. This contradiction suggests that he might be projecting his own fantasies onto her behavior rather than recognizing the power dynamics at play. When someone is economically vulnerable and sees a foreign partner as a potential escape from hardship, they may be very affectionate, compliant, and eager to please—but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are deeply in love in a romantic sense. Her later decision to become a domestic worker in Bahrain reinforces the idea that she was always seeking economic stability. Had she truly been obsessed with him for reasons beyond financial security, she might have attempted to stay in touch in a more meaningful way or fought harder to maintain the relationship. Instead, she moved on to another practical option for survival. The intense sexual enthusiasm he describes could have been a combination of a desire to please him (as part of securing the relationship), or even cultural expectations of fulfilling a male partner’s desires. But without emotional intimacy and communication, it’s unlikely she felt the kind of deep, unconditional love he wants to believe she had for him. I think he was in denial. He wanted to see himself as irresistibly desirable rather than acknowledging the reality that her affection was likely tied to economic necessity.
