Direct flights from Russia to the U-Tapao Airport begin
Someone named gayinpattaya defending the venomously anti-gay Putin is ironic, to say the least. They are, after all, the very western corruption that he rails against. This rather makes me question the quality of judgment involved. Certainly, the "you've done bad things, so everybody can do bad things" logic is ludicrous. It's the logical equivalent of saying that since Cain killed Abel, murder has been an unpunishable crime, because well, Cain killed somebody so you can't judge any other murderer.

Direct flights from Russia to the U-Tapao Airport begin
They had free elections until they decided they'd rather have a Czar. Now they get to deal with the Czar and his imperial ambitions while tens of thousands of people die.

Anyone make made video of their sex
Um, no. Partially because it couldn't possibly pay enough to compensate for the risks in such postings to the guys and to myself. Partially because I'm not sure I want to be seen by anybody that such a video would turn on!

World Cup match-fixing scandal erupts on the eve of the tournament
After blowing $220B on various things to host the World Cup, what's a few million more? And for all that money, Qatar still looks like a backwards religious extremist dictatorship trying to spray perfume on a turd.

Anal cancer
It is probably hemorrhoids. That fits the description and what I've experienced a few times. It manifests, at least for me, as a red lump that can be just annoying to painful. I understand the fear of the big C, but I think hemorrhoids is far, far more likely. A quick google suggests that 80% of anal disease cases are that. It also suggests that Anal cancer is internal to the anus in the anal canal, not on the exterior. Wish you luck, but suggest you try to keep the fear in check. Anxiety, speaking from personal experience, sucks. Try not to feed it.

Visiting Istanbul next month
I didn't have much luck there a few years ago either. Not much to my tastes at Aquarius, and I got no responses from those I wanted online. I too noticed that the prices seemed not to fit the market.

Vietnam Bar Boys
For those who don't know, if you click on your profile in the upper right one of the options is "ignored users". Click on that, add a forum name, and magically they go away. Works wonders.

Where do you all live & are you planning on living in Asia ?
Retired in Oregon. Happy here with my partner. Enjoy visiting, but I have a circle of friends here, and don't want to relocate. If my partner died, I might try it for a few months, but I suspect I'd come back to the green and the rain. The thing that might get me to truly move if my partner passed is if my money grew a bit tight, because it goes so much farther elsewhere. In that case, I'd probably pick Mexico because as others have said, the language is easier and it would be easier to visit what friends and family remained.

What do you feel about wokeness in film and theater?
Joan of Arc WAS non-binary, at least, maybe trans. She fucking fought in a damn war at a time when women didn't. Suggesting that she was a CIS female is idiotic. I'm fine if wokeness doesn't get in the way of the story. I find art that lectures me uninteresting.

The age of next supersonic airliner nears
I think the higher costs will make this a very niche product. Like Unicorn says, arrive in super comfort after 10 hours, or cattle for 6? Is the 4 hours really worth it? I doubt it. This will only sell to those to whom time is a super premium.

A boyfriend?
My partner doesn't care that I hire, as long as it isn't in the house. She knew I was gay when I married her. But, she's my best friend, and I'd be lost without her. All relationships are compromise, that was part of ours. We're coming up on 30 years, so it works for us. I spent most of my 20s trying to find the perfect guy and realized that spiritual fit and sexual fit was too high a bar for me. That's when I finally realized I had my life mate, I just wasn't interested in fucking her which was totally fine by her. It adds an extra expense to the budget, but the benefit is that my boyfriend of the hour is always hot and fresh.

Why Do Leading US Politicians Get Asia So Wrong?
I think it is premature to say that the sanctions on Russia aren't working. Russia is, of course, saying that, but I'd rather trust a Yale study. https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-imploding-sweeping-sanctions-corporate-exodus-yale-study-2022-7?op=1 I do not begrudge China its rise. But, I loathe strongmen everywhere. When the fate of a people rest on the whims of one man, it often ends badly.

Megamillions now 1 Billion USD
Well, you can encourage the hotties to have at each other if you're a bit tired....

Why Do Leading US Politicians Get Asia So Wrong?
I think China has also misplayed the US. Once you publicly threaten Pelosi for making a visit, you vastly increase the odds that she'll make the visit. How do you even benefit from doing that other than playing to a domestic hardline audience? Xi is playing to his own version of congress.

Megamillions now 1 Billion USD
I'd give it away to charities while jetting around globe with my posse of hotties. Some people I guess would buy a lot of houses or things, but I'm just not that much into 'stuff'. Though, I would like to stay at a higher class of place than my normal cheap-ass self books!

SC justice says gay rights, contraception rulings should be reconsidered
I think the supreme court should be reconsidered.

Young Australian man falls to his death from Phuket hotel
Unfortunately, the brain doesn't fully mature until about 25, and the judgment parts are last. Hence young people often make dangerous, stupid choices. I'm pretty sure most of us have.

Odd habits of travelers
Shockingly, telling other people what to do in the internet rarely works. The best you can often do is let people know how what they're doing is being received.

Odd habits of travelers
Well, Joizy, now you're acting like a troll. If you're not, then put them on ignore and move on. It takes two to start a pissing match. You're just proving them right. I find the obsession with finding reincarnations of previous posters beyond tedious. It's one of the things that made the other board so toxic. I wish the rest of you would stop, too. I'd rather not put the lot of you on ignore, but seriously, how is this helping or informative to the rest of us? Internet watersports isn't my thing. It isn't most people's thing. If you all really are getting hard doing this, maybe take it to private messages? The rest of us are capable of judging by the quality of contributions who is worth listening to and who isn't. If we aren't, no amount of advice is going to make a difference.

Fun in Myanmar?
I don't feel qualified to judge her since I don't know how much of that was an attempt to avoid what has happened since. I think it unlikely that there was no sense in the higher political circles that the army was moving back to try to take over and confrontation would only speed that day. I feel very bad for the people. The army's atrocities are every bit as bad as the Russians from what I can read. They're just covered a lot less (though to be fair the lack of communications infrastructure in the country makes it harder for reports to get out.)

Paranoia on this Forum
There is an ignore feature that allows you to block out annoying users. I suggest people make use of it. These public pissing matches are just tedious for the rest of us. Enjoy, don't take it all too seriously, and don't share personal information here because some people are fucking crazy. The problem is that you often don't know which ones...

Do you have a different time routine?
When I'm home, I often crawl into bed at 9pm. I usually play on the computer for a couple of hours, but not always. Getting old sucks. The alternative is worse, but it still sucks.

OnlyFans Scams on Twitter?
I'm safe from scammers on OF, since when I tried to sign up a few weeks ago, they immediately suspended my account. When I asked why, they said content that violated terms which is funny since I hadn't posted any content at all. I suspect they got freaky about my vpn, but hard to know. I guess if they don't want me to sign up, I'm ok with that. Though twitter is really trying. Yesterday they recommended three of these scammer guys to me!

Barcelona 2022; Thermas, Hunqz
I remember my smallpox scar on my arm from the vaccine injection site. Lasted many years, but it's been probably more than 50 years since I got it at this point.
