What is up with tattoos and tourists / expats here?
Tattoos are mainly a function of urbanization, wealth and atomization of families. When people become detached from community they lose their group identity and seek to define and project themselves through other means. It's not only body art, it's piercing, clothing, trinkets like watches and luxury goods like cars. There's even luxury believes now which are most prominent in urban areas, basically "woke" and all those high-minded liberal ideals. I would even say that the various sexual identities like trans and general homosexuality fall into this category too. Notice when you leave cities how the people change. Suddenly they become more uniform and project less of themselves and their egos on to the outside world. This is because they're more rooted in their families and tending to their basic needs in life. No time for all these other things which occupy the minds of people who are more wealthy and have more provided for them. -

Finally identified my long-term illness (Bronchiectasis), thanks to Dr Google :)
BTW, before anyone laughs at “holistic” doc, let me state that this dock is an MD and has a PhD in neuroscience, is well versed and educated in Chinese Traditional Medicine as well as Ayurdevic medicine. This doc used to work in hospitals/clinics but realised that the protocols that were expected to be adhered to - did nothing at all to cure the patients. It only kept the patients coming back for more. Guess from a business point of view, it was good practice. -

Tell us all about the "interesting" youtube channels that you watch (2025 version)
Well it might have been an interesting thread, if your derangement didn't appear. 100s of Trump MEMEs in the other political thread, so we can expect a bunch of anti Trump vids from you . Seek counseling. You do realize you posted 22 MEMEs in less than 2 hrs in the other thread. Let that sink in, SEEK HELP- 1

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Netanyahu under pressure as reservists speak out against Gaza war - BBC News In recent weeks, thousands of Israeli reservists from all branches of the military, have signed letters demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government stop the fighting and concentrate instead on reaching a deal to bring back the remaining 59 hostages being held by Hamas. "We came to the conclusion that Israel is going to a very bad place," Danny Yatom, a former head of the spy agency Mossad told me. "I am highly concerned that my country is going to lose its way." In a recent column in the left of centre newspaper Haaretz, the retired general Amiram Levin said it was time for soldiers – starting with senior commanders - to think about disobeying orders, "The risk of being dragged into war crimes and suffering a fatal blow to the Israel Defense Forces and our social ethos," he wrote, "make it impossible to stand idly by". ,
