After A Lifetime Of Adventure, Why Is It Now So Hard To Pop Off?
I think that's what sex addicts do. Addicted to the sex act and/or addicted to the orgasm part, but not really in the mood. Sounds like his variety of partners avoids that. -

The major backers of "populist" trump
You need to qualify your statement. He cared about those whom society has left behind, due to the modern technological economy and the need for workers who can offer needed skills, only so long as he needed their votes. He gave them false hopes, knowing the forlorn will embrace false hopes if those are the only hopes they can get. Now that he's won, he no longer needs the Loser Class, so he will pander solely to the elite. The minions who voted for him are going to have to deal with his incompetence---such as paying for his tariffs and also the likely increasing inflation he will cause via his massive budget deficits and requisite money printing to fund them. Reductions in 'regulations' will allow Flint Michigan to have the same quality of water as the rest of the nation, or rather the rest of the nation will have Flint, MI-quality water, but the elites will be drinking Evian and Panna. Oh, and 'deporting' tens of millions of illegals and Dreamers might free up strawberry-picking jobs for his SSDI-receiving rallygoers, but generally it is going to increase the cost of everything. I will go out on a limb and guess that the undocumented workers at Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster will avoid deportation, as rules do not apply to someone whose every act is "official" and whose hand-picked Supreme Court has ruled he is immune from prosecution. -

Who's Gonna Win The Tyson Fight?
I would love it to be Tyson, but at the last outing against Roy Jones, he looked slow, and a shadow of his former self. His speed has gone, but not his power. Years of smoking weed must have also taken their toll. I would love to see him teach the young loudmouth a lesson though. -

UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
File photo courtesy: Salzburg global x-account British pensioners living abroad, including in Thailand, will soon face enhanced scrutiny as UK banking confidentiality is set to change under new legislation targeting pension fraud. The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, currently under review in the House of Lords, is expected to take effect in early 2025, writes Barry Kenyon for Pattaya Mail. Under the bill, British banks and building societies must share account details with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) where there are suspicions of fraud involving British citizens, both in the UK and overseas. The bill addresses cases of a small minority of British expats allegedly concealing their residence in countries where they are not eligible for inflation-linked increases to their state pensions. While some countries, such as those in the EU and the Philippines, qualify for these annual increases, others - including Thailand and Australia - do not. Currently, around 500,000 British pensioners reside in countries with “frozen” pensions, and the DWP estimates that overpayments due to fraud exceed £100 million. Common tactics include maintaining a UK address for official DWP communications while living abroad. For example, a British pensioner based in Thailand was discovered last year after a neighbour returned a DWP letter with the note, “Lucky Sod Lives in Pattaya.” In another instance, a Bangkok-based pensioner’s deception was uncovered when his wife discovered he was enjoying himself in Bangkok rather than working in Baghdad, as he had claimed. However, Thailand’s advocacy group for ending frozen UK pensions argues that the issue of fraud is minor. A representative claimed that the primary issues are DWP processing errors and the discriminatory policy denying pension increases to expats based on location. Neither the previous Conservative nor the current Labour government has addressed these concerns. Additionally, pensioners have voiced frustrations with the unreliable international postal system. The UK authorities require proof of life certificates every three years to continue payments, but these documents are sent via regular mail, often resulting in lost letters and payment suspensions. Frank Weston, 68, a Pattaya-based pensioner, described the system as “insane and discriminatory” and advocated for a shift to a fully digital process, reported Pattaya Mail. -- 2024-11-14 -
