The inner monologue: What do you typically discuss with yourself? Do you also argue?
In psychology we have a term: "The inner child" Probably you read about? If not I recommend you to do so.👍 -

Is anyone concerned about DOGE targeting US Soc Sec direct deposit into Thai accounts?
More info acquired through ChatGPT: As of February 16, 2025, Leland Dudek is the acting commissioner of the SSA. Before snagging the top spot, Dudek was the mastermind behind the agency's anti-fraud operations. He's known for his tech-savvy approach and a relentless drive to root out fraud. Interestingly, Dudek was previously put on administrative leave for bypassing agency protocols to collaborate with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Now, he's running the show. en.wikipedia.org Why the Sudden Switch? Michelle King, the former acting commissioner, threw in the towel after a spat with DOGE. The Musk-led team wanted access to sensitive SSA records to sniff out waste and fraud. King, a 30-year SSA veteran, wasn't having it and resigned in protest. Enter Dudek, who seems more aligned with DOGE's mission. truthout.org What's the Fallout? The shake-up has stirred the pot in several ways: Data Privacy Concerns: With DOGE digging into personal records, folks are jittery about their data's safety. Operational Overhaul: Dudek's history of sidestepping protocols hints at possible shake-ups in SSA's standard procedures. Public Trust Issues: The rapid leadership change and DOGE's aggressive tactics might make the public wary of the SSA's stability. In short, the SSA's latest plot twist has left many on the edge of their seats, wondering how this drama will unfold. My concern is that we're an easy target... living overseas and unable to fight back in courts due to our geographic handicap. I remember an Aussie mate saying living oversea and collecting either a pension or SS was not possible. Aussies had to go back and live in the Aus for a while in order to qualify. I don't remember the full scoop, but it sounded like a big headache. -
