unlimited land border crossings
Any and every entry into Thailand is subject to the discretion of the Immigration Officer. (This is standard practice all over the world.) The only valid answer to the question: "Can I get unlimited entries for 60 days" is: "Yes -- until you can't." -

Is Earth round or flat❓
I appreciate you having the honesty to follow your rationale all the way (most people don't) and admit that ultimately, what prevents you from going there is that you are not prepared to accept the scale of such a deception. I totally get it as I was in that position myself for a long time. The Overton window is shifting quickly on this issue, which has moved away from the fringes, from Elon Musks's troll comments on space footage "looking like fake CGI but definitely real" to Candace Owens claiming she has "broken away from the cult of science" and now totally open to alternative theories regarding the shape of the Earth. (I'm guessing I'm going to get at least 5 laughing emojis for this one.) -

Abortion
No. This is not right. It IS a right. And, in the USA, for example....the stigma is incredible. Just trying to set up a procedure is still very difficult, at clinics. The stigma and the hurdles must go. If you want to know what it should be like: Please just look to Taiwan. No problems there. Honestly. -

I can't stop thinking - My mind is constantly busy - Looking for the answer .
Huberman is very POPular, these days. Still, he is NUTZO, and quite an idiot. Sometimes, no matter what..... Even at great universities.... We can still find idiots. Stanford needs to get rid of this guy if Stanford wishes to protect its integrity. Charlatans are probably a dime-a-dozen at major unis. Just listen to Does ANYBODY take these two seriously???? No way...Jose....!!!! BIRDS OF A FEATHER....with plenty of supplements for all....555555 Even Vitamin-C Pauling was never such a blatant supplement-advocate as these two. -

Is Earth round or flat❓
The "blue marble" is an invention and NASA has in fact never taken a picture of the entire planet Earth. Each one of the pictures released over the years is unequivocally altered and the inconsistencies are undeniable: But don't take my word for it, here is NASA data visualizer and designer Robert Simmon, creator of the "blue marble": In the existing cloud map some people have noticed a few repeating features that appear photoshopped. They are. There are gaps between orbits near the equator, and there’s no way to fill them with real data. Compositing separate images into a convincing whole is (of course) easier said than done. Even with control of each layer in my image processing software (Photoshop) it took hours of tweaking and re-tweaking transparency, layer masks, hue, saturation, gaussian blur, and curves to get an image that looked like the picture I had in my head. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/elegantfigures/2011/10/06/crafting-the-blue-marble/ The hard part was creating a flat map of the Earth’s surface with four months’ of satellite data. Reto Stockli, now at the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology, did much of this work. Then we wrapped the flat map around a ball. My part was integrating the surface, clouds, and oceans to match people’s expectations of how Earth looks from space. That ball became the famous Blue Marble. https://www.nasa.gov/people-of-nasa/robert-simmon-aka-mr-blue-marble/ -

Abortion
Police has nothing to do with it. Abortion has been legal in Thailand for several years. No need for "backroom procedures" nor for improper procedures. Medical abortion (taking tablets) and d&c (dilatation and curettage) are both done here. Abortion is done by doctors, in clinics or hospitals, staff is very caring. The places I named are the most obvious choices, there are others. But many doctors or hospitals won't do it, that's their personal choice. The posts above are misleading. And as I said before, it's walk-in service. No need to call first, just don't come after 3pm. The earlier, the better.- 1

Is Earth round or flat❓
Gravity is among the weakest of the forces known to Nature. Even weaker than.... The weakling on the beach. Still, the only reason that there is an Earth is due to gravity. The conglomeration of particles only happens due to the force of gravity. Also, during the mating season, the gravitational force between males and females causes procreation. Otherwise, neither you nor I would even be here.
