Not when you get older. It's less of an issue. 😀 -

How on earth do you Diet in Thailand ?
I have noticed most Thai people have become even less disciplined regarding their diets and food is just everywhere. Many people eating 4-5 small meals a day which is a recipe for disaster whilst burning around on their bikes and barely doing much activity. You will need to be disciplined. Keep to your activities and what you want to do in this s country. Preferably be around more focused expats or Thais. The average eating every 2 hours, drinking booze and mooching around lifestyle will make you unhealthy or into a complete slob. My prediction of the average Thai BMI in 20 years is not too rosey. Don't be scared to be an individual. -

Israel and Hezbollah Exchange Blows in Pre-emptive Strikes and Retaliatory Attacks
LOL. Didn't do too well then. Hezbollah still sending hundreds of missiles and drones, which are overwhelming Iron Dome. I'm sure they are blowing up lots of houses though, as usual. US taxpayer funded bombs for Lebanon, but the US keeps bleating on about not escalating the conflict. Does anyone think they are serious about that? -

Israel and Hezbollah Exchange Blows in Pre-emptive Strikes and Retaliatory Attacks
LOL. What ceasefire? It's clear to me that israel ( or at least netanyahu ) is not going to agree to such, and that is going where all the previous attempts have gone. Netanyahu must know that soon as he no longer has a war, it's likely he is out of government and into court. Hamas agreed to Biden's proposed agreement from May, but netanyahu keeps trying to add things to it, such as keeping the IDF in Gaza and able to start the slaughter again. -

Trump says he’s “very honored” by RFK Jr. endorsement
Maybe they should debate each other, the media will call it a douche-off. Do bear in mind that Ronnie was a New Deal Democrat back in the FDR era, he said so himself. He had a political mentor, a very rich guy, who helped propel him into being governor of California, and then later kept him propped up during the time he was out of office and yet to president. Even during his out-of-office years he would make speeches on the radio in Southern California. If all the assassinations and family scandals have yet to deter anyone in the Kennedy family from going into politics this guy's antics will. -

Trump’s Tough Stance on Migrant Crime: A Pledge to Crack Down with Severe Penalties
Well he should add citizenship deprivation orders to any immigrant or offspring of immigrants convicted of any crime. Harsh, but fair. Target their offspring as well. He should target in particular white collar crime, because their crimes have a much greater impact on society, make an example of them. -

Trump’s Tough Stance on Migrant Crime: A Pledge to Crack Down with Severe Penalties
Yes, he needs to tighten up on financial crime. As he is worried about immigrant criminals, he could take a leaf out of the UK's approach, which has been to include citizenship deprivation orders for those convicted of crime, and who is eligable for a second citizenship. Jack Letts was born in the UK to a British mother, and with a Canadian father. He lived all his life in Oxfordshire, until he decided to travel to Iraq. He is now convicted of crimes against the Iraqi state. The UK stripped him of UK citizenship, suggesting he can apply for a Canadian passport. Similarly, Shamima Begum, born in the UK, stripped of her UK citizenship. The UK government say she can apply to the Bangladeshi courts to gain Bangladeshi citizenship, so not their problem. Trumpf can become British through the 1981 British Nationality Act, Section 4C, where people born outside of the UK, before 1983 to a British born mother, can apply for citizenship. Normally a Good Character test is required, but since 2019, this no longer applies to 4C applicants. Trumpf cannot be rendered stateless, because he is half-American. His mother, remember, was an illiterate maid from rural Scotland, who nevertheless had the means to cross the Atlantic multiple times while taking low waged jobs in the US, and managed to get herself invited to high society parties to meet the upcoming New York entrepaneurs. Wonder if there were other single women at these parties? Did they understand her Lewes accent? He can go live at a house like this. They're pretty cheap, and its possible the local council will still have a few on the books to rent. -

A question on sibling responsibilities'
Recently my GF's(30) brother(18) got in a motorbike wreck. he managed to damage a person's car and break a few of his bones. He is looking at potentially over 100k in medical bills. Since both parents are deceased is my GF legally and financially responsible for his debt if he isn't able to pay it off? My understanding is that in Thailand your not a "adult" till you are 20. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Yours is a good analysis and there is no denying that Russia's greatest threat comes from its "stanistan" republics on its borders filled with people who despise Russians and their version of Christianity. However, Ukraine is not innocent either. It undertook many actions and measures that were discriminatory against ethnic Russians. It engaged in actions that would be considered unacceptable in the western world. Ukraine was also a center of organized cyber crime that targeted western countries through hacking and extortion. This in no way justifies a Russian invasion and land grab. What Russia has done is wrong and its long standing support of violent militias, including their mass murder of innocents above the Malaysian passenger aircraft was wrong too. Had Russia attempted to correct the Ukrainian injustices through civil and peaceful means it could have obtained western support to right those wrongs. Instead it chose to engage in even worse acts and now it welcomes home its youth as war dead and as mangled and broken people. -

Iranian manufactured and Iranian supplied. Iran and Russia worked together to prop up the despot Assad of Syria, 14 million refugees, and 500,000 dead thanks to their efforts. -

Trump says he’s “very honored” by RFK Jr. endorsement
Under Republican Party rules, members can reconvene or hold a vote among a smaller group that could determine Vance’s replacement. A replacement would need a majority of votes to be selected. That also applies if Vance voluntarily steps down. If Vance is sacked, no doubt he will start briefing against his former mate/
