yeah, I forgot about QQ

90% of Chinese youths don't know and don't care about Western social medias - WeChat covers all needs: messaging, payments, including p2p, social networking, gaming, news... everything 1.3 billions users monthly

Your medias are like chaotically curved mirrors - never show real situation. Police raided 5 clubs, only one was LGBT, rest 4 were just regular, of which one is big one - up to 20 000 people. Yes, target were visitors with rainbow flags and symbols - it is forbidden here - it is country of Christian orthodoxies and on Saturday was day when that law was implemented year ago. So it was reminder about LGBT simbols. Flags are forbidden, but clubs are allowed to work. In total in Moscow 4 LGBT clubs about 10 bars and 5 or 6 saunas.

Hahaha... you are speaking like Biden did in the March 2022. By the way at March 2022 ruble was 130 for one USD, now 2 years after it is 107, and 2 weeks ago it was 95, in February it will be again 95. State bank manipulates it - they need Russian goods will be competitive at the month of highest sales and yearly payments (December). We have the same here every year. And January is month of tax payment - when exporters changing currencies to rubles for to pay taxes. For to manipulate rate bank make huge buy currencies from the stock and that lowering ruble. They even announce such actions one week in advance for to let locals to use high rate. And about Russian economy. At this year, under sanction it will grow 4%. US economy without any sanctions getting just 2.8%... Dear, US will never do it - you are living in glass house: China owns 20% of US state debt. If you will make wrong step, then China may push all their owned debt to the sales on the market. After that your govt will have to emits a lot of dollars to cover that debt for not to be in default. And we are speaking about 5-7 trillions. You may compare with 2 trillions printed at 2020 for to cover expenses during COVID. Your inflation will jump to about 15-17% after that. Trump may try it, but that will be suicidal step for your economy.

Wrong. You have do nothing - hotel will do it for you. The only difference with Thailand is - in Thailand you may book and live in any hotel and hotel will register you in police (that why they make copy of your passport) , in China you'll be accepted only in dedicated hotels what have license to serve foreign guests.

Dear, you have no idea about what BRICS is now And a little bit more for you to get Trump's idea: since more than half of goods used by American population is manufactured in China and India, "100% tariff" means for you what you will pay 2 times more for the same goods, which you buy cheap now. And even more: US can't stop that process by any meaning - just because all settlements in this currency will not go through American banks or even SWIFT at all - the first sanctions imposed on Russia in 2014 showed the world that neither American banks nor SWIFT can be relied upon, so Russia got its own analogue of SWIFT and China got its own. It is thanks to this that MasterCard and Visa cards still work here, although sanctions allegedly disabled them 2.5 years ago.

Hornet may help. Many users are shy and don't fill profiles, but if you will place your interests as #tags in your profile, then they may find you.

Great location, but I’ve never been to this building before—it doesn’t seem very new, does it? Also, “ninth floor” immediately raised some concerns for me: in case of a fire, evacuation would be challenging—you can’t just run straight outside through the door, the elevators would be out of service, and jumping out of the window isn’t an option. Are people still allowed to smoke indoors in Thai bars?

My statistic shows what LGBT-travels to TH rising not so drastically. Maybe 5-7%. Maybe because of strong Baht. LGBT-travels to Vietnam are booming . More than 50%. 2024 is first year from 15 years on the market, when Siamroads has the same number of guides in TH and VN.

Fact checking: highest death rate was in 2021, 5.6% higher than in 2020

Nope. Biden's. 2023:

In 21st century highest death rate was in 2021. In 2020 without vaccines death toll was 5.6% less, than in 2021 with vaccines against COVID. So, if you want to use "Murder president of America" label, then you should labeling Biden/Harris.

It is exactly punishment from my point of view: for 16000 killed Russians on the East of Ukraine btw coup in 2014 and Feb 2022. For intentions to join NATO. Ukraine was warned about the "red line" in 2021, but despite this, it included "aspirations to join NATO" in the constitution. And don't tell me about Ukraine's sovereignty - no sovereignty prevented the United States from invading Afghanistan, Libya, Syria. Putin is doing the same, and with the same wording - in the interests of national security. Cynical? Perhaps. But the actions are exactly the same, only there are far fewer victims: Russia does not use carpet bombing, and therefore, for almost 3 years of conflict, the death toll among civilians, according to the UN Commissioner, is less than in one week of the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Nope, dear. The defense ends when you leave your territory. When you set foot on enemy territory, the punishment begins. So the US is the only country in the history of human civilization that has barbarously used nuclear genocide (you love that word) as punishment against 170,000 civilians, vaporizing them in a few seconds in a nuclear inferno. And, yes, I will remind you of the main milestones of the reign of a bright representative of the Democratic Party - President Truman: - nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - started the Cold War - started the war in Korea - opened the doors wide and by inaction allowed the McCarthyism Sabbath

She had 4 years in office. Any results? No? Well...

Thank you for your "expert" opinion.

"Given how many dying in violence in Myanmar" is easy to make conclusion, what "fake govt" isn't reason: fights btw nationalistic elites existed in Myanmar since the first Myanmar day of independence, esp. on the North and East - regions with gemstones. Myanmar workers were well known in Thailand far before that "fake govt" appeared on Myanmar scene. Since my first visit to TH in 2007 I saw only Myanmar workers on construction sites, for example. Shan villages are located on the West of TH for many decades already.

Here is result of analysis of opioid crisis by AI "What was the key moment that triggered the opioid crisis in the US?"

As per graph in your post it started in 2013. Who was president and head of health dep. in that year? In 2016 - 2020 CDC made strong efforts to limit sales of opioid drugs. Maybe even too much. It is known fact, you may read that in many scientific researches. For example here https://www.proquest.com/docview/2655994980

It is not Trump made America red. You should thank selfish egoists Joe and Kamala. Trump got just +600K to his past results at 2020. But Dems lost 13 mln voters. People just ran. THAT made America red - fail of Dem's ruling in 2020-2024 plus misunderstanding needs of people: third gender's toilets are bad substitution to empty freezers. 42.1 mln of US population use SNAPS (12.6% of population).

You forgot: Chernobyl is Ukraine now.
