If Melania spoke out against Trump and called him a fascist, the movie would get rave review, she would be the toast of Hollywood and the left would be treated her as one of the greatest women of the 21st century,

But because she supports her husband, all the ugly little leftists have to make vulgar memes of her.

Always classy, the left.

Others, like myself, got very little from 'schools/uni' and didn't need it. I'm the only person I know in my social circles that retired at 45.

Everyone can retire at 45 if they are happy to live on 25k baht a month (with 2 people), as you have bragged about many times.

Most people don't consider the living.

Are you that out of touch, lying or just stupid? Everyone cannot retire at 45 and live on 25K baht a month, because many, perhaps most people do not make that when they are working.

Most of you are embarrassing humans. Wonder who and what you see in the mirror.

What type of hate and self loathing you must live with every moment of your sad lives. Actually brings me joy when thinking about it.

Mods ... seriously, are the clicks worth it ????

This thread surely doesn't meet any quality upgrade in postings you may have been hoping for ...

The new rules apply to low-value posts, not to low-value threads.

Some education is overrated. Some of my friends & peers had quite a bit, and didn't help them much. Some it helped quite a bit. Others, like myself, got very little from 'schools/uni' and didn't need it. I'm the only person I know in my social circles that retired at 45.

Pretty sure most would have, if they could. Before you say anything, I could have easily stayed in the USA, and still retired at 45, if I chose to.

Most of what I learned, wasn't taught to me in schools. Self taught RE investor, stock market investor, chimney sweep, CDL holder, gunsmith. Pre emissions BS on engines, and I could take apart and rebuild the drive train of ICEV, except inside the trans. A talent you learn when too poor to pay a mechanic to fix your cars. Along with paint a car.

Working real jobs, before legally allowed to, though nothing toward a career. First self employment/business was about 26 yrs old. Yea, not exactly the ambitions fella, as having too much fun being irresponsible. Thank you Carter for forcing that motivation on me.

Ok, a different more mammon driven view of life. Retiring early is not a goal for me, too much of a boomer view of life. But I get to leave an enduring legacy in the font of human knowledge. What I did, and am doing, will endure, long after I have gone. My "education" has left me with lots of soft skills. Its piss easy to fix a car, over rated "talent". Its just mecanno. Bit like boasting you can tie up shoe laces. I've always fixed my own cars.

The point is, unless you are descended from royalty/the oppressors, your ancestors have been repressed, held back, robbed. Education is a way to put the boot on the other foot. If you're not particularly clever, ok, you do what you can. If you really have done all those things you hav done, then I suspect your epitaph would be "could have done better".

But being a model isn't much of a skill. She could have become an architect, and left a legacy. I don't envy her future after he is 6 foot under.

Are you that out of touch, lying or just stupid? I know the answer when someone is claiming Western people do not earn 25K baht (the equivalent of 800 US$) a month when working.

You never specified western people, you said anyone. But keep making stuff up brother, it's what you do.

I went to university, as a working class kid, son of a British Army officer who originally did National Service, and decided to stay in, first in my family. A life changing moment changed my view of life from one being "get a job" to "make a difference", expanding my horizons, and I ended up in Antarctica.

I ended up with 3 distinct careers. So PhD and postdoctoral research in aeromicrobiology, followed by a career in defence research during the GWOT (I know what I did saved lives), a few peer reviewed papers and some patents. For the last 12 years, its been more an advisory role to medtech, whether manufacturers, or healthcare providers (governments). I know I have made impactful contributions during the COVID crisis. The effects on healthcare are still being worked through, which has caused me, in the last year or so, to work more and more with parts of the FDA and the EU's HERA.

Cutting through all the applied BS, my fundamental interests lie in the 97% of the biological world that we know nothing about. That will occupy me, I hope, to the day I croak. James Lovelock, another working class lad, is a hero of mine.

Anyone who is lucky enough to have been offered a place at university has been given a gift, not to be or belittled by those with no interest in education or of little education.

All this time I thought the Dr. Jill nonsense was the Biden's faking her qualifications.

Thanks to your deflection, I am now aware that Dr. Jill is a real doctor as we understand it in the USA, with degree received from an accredited university!

She is, just we dont use the honorific Dr. like they do in Germany. If so, call me Dr.

A tribute to the most feckless and useless first lady,
Just another money-grab, coutesy of scared and observiant CEO's,

doing anything to maintain anointment and protection as they kiss the ring of the Donald and hand over the envelope,

"Dr. Jill" is a Doctor of Education, how funny is that? And her husband finished in the bottom of his class and was on the public teat his whole life.

Remember the brilliant "journalists" on "The View" that thought Dr. Jill should be Surgeon General?

Why not? When you can have an anti-vaxxer, flat-earther, moon-denier with brain worms as Secretary of Health?

At least "Melania, the movie", is entertaining. Okay, the jokes are. The mockumentary, not so much.

Typical leftist, hasn't seen it, knows nothing about it, and depends on other leftists to tell him what to think, and then just regurgitates whatever he's told. Polly wanna cracker?

It is ironic that the number of losers that think spewing their hate will help them feel better about their lot in life, yes?

Tell us some more about what a slut the First Lady is, while you complain about Trump degrading the office.
