Not much of a surprise in this, but it was interesting to me:

Todd is the most typical of American men. His proportions are based on averages from CDC anthropometric data. As a U.S. male aged 30-39 his body mass index (BMI) is 29; just one away from being obese. At 5 feet, 9 inches tall, his waist is 39 inches.

I found the height statistics interesting, just wish they chose another name for their case study

Americans are trying to fight big agra like MOnsanto. But the government is owned, or held hostage, to big agra and big pharma.

They're screwing with genes and cramming down the throats of America. Watch the fild "Food Inc".

Hold on to your real farms people, factory farms will rob your savings and send you to the hospital to spend the rest.

...walking on the sidewalks in pattaya. there are two clear groups, who believe they can just make everyone else get out of their way, despite there being ample room for everyone to walk past each other without any issues. young chinese men walking with a woman. they walk down the middle of the sidewalks and expect everyone else to get out of their way. i lived in huai kwang for longer than i wished to and it was the same, as nine in ten of people walking down the street were native chinese wor

The End of Israel ?

She makes an argument that Israel as we know it may cease to exist. Jews are already a minority, Israel is losing settlers through emigration and not getting as many settlers as it once did.

Greenland PM Stands Firm: “We Choose Denmark” Over Trump

Bacon1 · January 31Jan 31

Greenland’s PM Stands Strong: "We Are Not for Sale," Choosing Sovereignty and Loyalty Over US Pressure Greenland’s Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has issued a definitive response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed interest in acquiring the Arctic territory, stating clearly that the island is not for sale. In a high-stakes display of sovereignty, Nielsen affirmed Greenland’s loyalty to its current alliance, prioritizing its relationship with Denmark and the European Union over A

Trump's War of choice is hurting billions around the world

spidermike007 · 22 hours ago22 hr

It seems like there's barely any place on earth that is escaping the ramifications of Trump's War of choice on Iran. The whole world is paying a price and the less affluent seem to be the most heavily burdened. As if their lives weren't difficult enough already. Do the billionaires like Trump care even one iota for the common man on any level? Was the economic well-being of the planet taken into account for even 5 minutes when they were planning this ridiculous and highly unpredictable war? Now

Deal! And you get the bald Israeli front bencher who is so passionately promoting the right to rape. Don´t forget lube when meeting him, otherwise you might find yourself seeing Johnny Cash´s song "Ring of Fire" from a completely different angle. 🤣 From the bent over angle. 😂😂

Explorator en Action replied to Bredbury Blue's topic in Health and Medicine

@ Bert got kinky I received mine today, used them to watch TV and Holy Smokes, the colors jump out atcha…….I googles Color Circle test and a bunch popped up - I have never gotten more than two in my whole life…………I was able to find all the numbers, words, pictures etc etc etc in the color circle with these on, take them off and very few are seen. I have always saw things differently than other people, I regularly color in adult coloring books, and my choices of colors have always been strange to other folks. It looks good to me - I am going to try & color with these on and see what changes. Thanks again for the tip. Peace

Lacessit replied to The Cobra's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub

When I was still active in P4P, I spent a night with a woman, based on her online photo. She looked quite pretty in the photo. In the flesh, she was stunning. To complete the night, she was also a cracker in bed. She dropped off the internet shortly afterwards, so I guess she found a permanent arrangement.

Do foreigners in Thailand really change or just adapt?

SoCal1990 · 2 hours ago2 hr

Had a vivid conversation last night with a group of about 10 expat friends at a relaxing restaurant down in Silom that ended up going all over the place. The group was mostly men, but a few women as well. Basically all people who live and work here and have some sort of busy lifestyle, as opposed to many foreigners living here who no longer work and end up staying home with their own comforts in some form of isolation. After we finished the meal and had a few drinks, what started as a simple c

Do expats in Thailand see relationships differently over time?

The Cobra · 12 hours ago12 hr

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and wasn’t sure how to word it without it sounding wrong, but here goes. Living in Thailand has changed how I look at relationships. Not overnight, and not in some dramatic way, but gradually over time. Back home, things felt more fixed. People settled into a certain pattern — similar age, similar background, similar expectations. Here, it feels different. The range of relationships you see is much wider, and the expectations don’t always line up the sam
