UCLA Official ‘no hire list,’ for Jews
And? What is your point? Do you have an article or did you just post a date for fun. I did find an article from the NY Post dated December 4, 2024 that corroborates the story here . https://nypost.com/2024/12/04/us-news/ucla-official-allegedly-put-jewish-applicants-on-no-hire-list-petition-claims/ This woman is a full blown deluded buffoon to have actually written " Israel is a colonial state that oppresses Palestinians and other vulnerable marginalized communities like the queer community." Israel is the only country in the region that has legal protections in place for the LGBQT2 community. 300,000+ turn out for Tel Aviv Pride. Quite a contrast to Istanbul where 100 turned up for Pride, of which 15 were attacked and arrested. No Pride in Damascus, Baghdad, Tunis, et al. And not a word from Madame Solidarity. -

Is It Cheaper to ‘Rent’ Companionship In Thailand Than to Commit?
When it comes to relationships in Thailand a key question is: Is it better to rent than to own? By “rent,” I mean spending time with short-time girls a couple, few times a week rather than committing to a full-time girlfriend or wife. On the surface, the financial differences are clear. With short-time girls, you pay by the serving for the services you want and nothing more, no monthly allowances, no family support, no gifts or trips to keep her happy. You’re also free from the routine expenses that come with a girlfriend or wife, like taking her out to meals multiple times a week or paying for her shopping. Dining out together may start as a fun activity but quickly becomes a recurring cost, especially if she’s accustomed to going to nicer places. All these little things add up over time, and with short-time girls, it’s not your problem. But the advantages aren’t just financial. Consider the emotional and mental freedom. Some relationships are wonderful in the beginning, but over time, they can become much more challenging. Once the initial honeymoon phase fades, and the rose colored glasses come off, then with it, patience on both sides can begin to wear really thin. Small disagreements eventually turn into bigger arguments, and then those can escalate into fights. Lies and mistrust may creep into the relationship, and sometimes one or both sides start taking advantage of the other, whether it’s her asking for more money or gifts, or you becoming less attentive or supportive. With committed relationships, there can also be an eventual breakup involving lots of grief, sadness, and heartache, not to mention it being a deeply depressing experience. And then, you’re left wondering if the relationship was worth all the time, effort, and money you invested into it begin with. With short-time girls, you basically avoid all of this ruckus. If you handle things correctly, there’s no emotional baggage, no drama, and no eventual heartbreak. You meet only on your terms, always enjoy your time together, and then part ways without any strings attached. So when you’re in the mood for companionship, it’s easy to arrange. And whenever you prefer to be alone, you have the freedom to focus on yourself without the guilt of neglecting a partner. And the great thing is, as long as you keep paying each time, you usually never lose the girl, only occasionally lose your turn when she's busy elsewhere. Some might argue that having a girlfriend or wife provides emotional connection and stability, but the reality is that long-term relationships don’t always deliver those things. Many men find themselves in situations where the relationship has become more about obligation and stress than love and fulfillment. Some may look at this viewpoint as shallow, but others may see it just as more practical and realistic and certainly less headache and grief. When you add everything up, renting seems like the way to go for many expats in Thailand, or does owning still offer some other major benefits that can’t be measured in terms of cost? -

Thai lawyer argues most expats won’t be impacted by personal income tax
You wont find it, too many posts were deleted as DTA were deemed off topic as it contradicted the Revenue Code mantra. However you might find my big 4 window cleaner quip. Which was in reference to someone not knowing that an International Agreement ( DTA ) takes precedence over Thai domestic Tax Policy / Law. -

Brian Thompson’s killing sparks outrage over state of US healthcare
Mangione said that 'it had to be done' so that settles that. Mangione's writings, obtained by ABC News, addressed to the "Feds," said, "I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming." https://abcnews.go.com/US/luigi-mangione-charged-murder/story?id=116623608 -

Israel’s Disinformation Campaign Against UNRWA
He was referring to the free press in Israel as you well know. As for international press being allowed into Gaza. Its a war zone. They are allowed so long as they are under the protection of the IDF. Wouldn't want more kidnappings would we? Same as in Ukraine when they seriously limited International reporters. Reuters/AP still have reporters there. -

Is there anything good about getting old?
If your comment was in jest, fine. Unfortunately, there are people who feed life rabbits to their snakes for fun. Obviously, it's not so much fun for the rabbits.
