  1. Another thing I agree with is President Trump redirecting 2 billion dollars from FEMA that was being used to support illegal aliens now being used to support families suffering from flood damage in North Carolina. was any of that $2 billion dollars previously being used for illegal aliens? I asked the AI if Donald Trump redirected the money from FEMA that was previously to be used to support illegal aliens... This is the answer it provided. Yes, some of the $2 billion redirected by President Trump to North Carolina disaster relief reportedly came from funds that were previously being used to support programs for illegal immigrants. A social media post and reports indicate that Trump redirected FEMA money that had been allocated for initiatives involving illegal immigration, such as migrant processing and benefits, to prioritize disaster recovery in Western North Carolina[3][6].

  2. All those dangerous insurrectionist that had no weapons 🥱. I'm sorry but I'm not going to go along with the narrative. Decides nobody was ever convicted of insurrection. But that doesn't stop me from agreeing with things I approve of from the president. Now I agree with him releasing information on Martin Luther King and the Kennedy assassinations
  3. If you're an expat one thing you will have to keep an eye on is the strength of the dollar. With Trump wanting to increase exports the dollar will need to be weakened to allow other countries an incentive to buy our goods. If you're on a fixed income living in another country this could affect you in a negative way.
  4. I like the Stargate AI project tasked with curing illnesses rather than treating them 👍
  5. I remember back in the 70's, New Yorkers were writing editorials complaining about the Japanese throwing their money around and getting all the attention from sales staff. They were buying up all those jeans and camera equipment. People were PISSED!
  6. When I am away from home I like to explore my Fetish side, and when I did that with my old profile I was once asked if my profile got hacked😨. After that, I created my home profile and the profile for the other me I don't want to share with my friends.
  7. On my Android phone, I have 2 different grindr accounts. One I use when at home, and the other I use when I leave my state or travel out of the country.
  8. I compare those prices 5 years ago because I have to have a point of reference. People who are doing the job I did 5 years ago are still making the same wage I was making when I was in that role. Thailand was going through a money-grab period in the gay community when I was last there and I am of the opinion that it's all overpriced. You can get similar prices here in my small state of Delaware here in the USA. But I am not going to complain. They have not gone over the pain point for many customers it seems. They ran me out of Thailand when the bars were licking their lips at 500 baht beers. For now, I am content with Brazil, but I truly do miss the delicious foods of Thailand. The sexy guys found in the Jomtien complex, the weekend markets and oddly enough the cable news. This may be just me, but I believe you can tell a place is becoming expensive when others start justifying the costs in ways that defy common expectations. But it may just be me... I am an MRO buyer for a living haha!
  9. For those of you who have made Thailand your second home (or new home), I’m curious to know—how has the surge of TikTok and YouTube content about Thailand affected your experience? It seems like there’s been a flood of videos promoting the idea that Thailand is cheap, cheap, cheap! From claims of USD 400/month for modern condos, $1 breakfasts or lunches, and $3 haircuts to promises of more sex than you can handle (with double the action if you’re open to ladyboys), they make it sound like a paradise on Earth. The videos often paint a picture of Thailand as a carefree, ultra-affordable utopia, where smoking the popular drug is not only accepted but readily available in many varieties of selected crops. It's a druggies siren song for many viewers, advising them to sell it all, drop everything and move to Thailand. When I watch these videos, I can’t help but think back to when I first experienced Thailand—before the wave of vloggers took over the "Land of Smiles" and flooded the internet. I'm glad I was able to enjoy Thailand before TikTok and the video Vloggers. So, for all you expats living in Thailand now, what’s your take on this? Are the vloggers bringing fresh energy to the tourism scene, or do they risk giving us all a bad name?
  10. Wow! 3000 baht for short-time? In Brazil that will get me 2 or 3 hot guys or 1-1/2 porn stars haha! Thailand has gotten expensive since I last visited, which was before the epidemic. How much are the drink prices now? When I left, they were 400 baht, bordering on 500 baht, at the Gogo bars. I'm thinking about taking a short visit to Pattaya this year, but I am not looking forward to the high cost of the nightlife.
  11. Try using Google Translate and inform them that you do not enjoy having your feet touched at all and would like a massage but please do not touch your feet.
  12. How do Brazilians celebrate the New Year? Go to a cruising spot of course 😊 WhatsApp Video 2025-01-02 at 07.53.33_71f7fdac.mp4
  13. Romeo has a lot of sex workers but if they don't log onto romeo, they may miss your message.
  14. The pardon will go down in history as the first presidential pardon of a crackhead
  15. When I was there in October, 9pm seem to be the time when the guys started to leave.
  16. My honest thoughts on where she went wrong was. 1 she didn't answer questions showing that she have full knowledge of what the problems were and what her solution would be. 2 she seemed to fear questions from the public and relied on her go to answer of coming from a middle class family. 3 she didn't give enough hard-hitting interviews to sharpen herself when asked tough questions. 4 she depended too much on celebrities. 5 she relied too heavily on the race card to the point that minorities pulled away. 6 she used her sex and race as a weapon and used it to attack more than attract. 7 when giving a chance to sell the public on her, all she did was talk about Trump when everybody already made up their minds about Trump. 8 she didn't project strength when giving an opportunity to send a message to world leaders. 9 she picked the wrong running mate. 10 she depended too much on teleprompters.
  17. I predict the first thing that President Trump will do will pardon the innocent people wrapped up in the January 6th circus who are still in prison.
  18. Oh also add that I tried to cultivate a friendship with a guy I met from fatal model. It started out okay but I made the mistake on my second visits giving him a cell phone that I replaced with a newer model. That shifted the dynamic of our friendship to the point that he became needy and always dropped hints of things he needed or wanted. I ended the friendship and now even after 2 years he is still message me on every single app available to try to reestablish our friendship.
  19. I don't speak any Portuguese. Most of the guys who have become my friends I have met through Romeo or grinder. Yes we have had sex but it turned into something more then a sexual relationship. If I feel a vibe with them and I think they are feeling a vibe with me I just tried to see them again and again and see if it turns into a friendship. But if money is involved with each time then it's not much of a friendship. In Sao Paulo I have become friends with a guy I met from Viva Loca. If he takes off work and spends the whole day with me I compensate him. We also talked throughout the year. I'm very picky with my friendships so they don't come easy
  20. I've been in Brazil 2 weeks and I've only had one sauna encounter. But I've had many grinder encounters. If you want to see a lot of slim muscled guys flashing big erections then you want to go to point 202. Club 117, if you want to see a lot of familiar faces then that is the place to go.
  21. Little update, I went to back to Point 202 Wednesday. It was pretty crowded since rooms were free. I asked one of the guys how much their program was and he quoted 250. I smiled and turned my head and he countered with 200 I smiled and said no and moved on. I half hour later he came back and said he can lower the price. By that time I already booked someone from Grindr for my room. No regrets.
  22. I figured I would share my experience and visiting club 117 and Point202. At point202 The lowest price I was quoted for fun was 100 BRL for sucking plus milk and 150 for penetration plus milk. At club 117 the lowest price I was quoted was 150 for everything. Later in the evening they came back in lower the price to 100. Also those were prices quoted to me from the guys without me asking.
  23. I was able to get my CPF number in Sao Paulo very quickly. I went to the Federal building and applied on a Friday when I landed. I got the CPF number in my email on Tuesday. It was a big help to have someone go with me to interpret and all I needed was my passport and to fill out the application.
  24. When did they start making the 200 note? After making an ATM withdrawal it kind of was a letdown to get such big notes
  25. This question is moot. They've changed the second floor hot tub area into a sitting area. The hot tub is gone and now just chairs and end tables are in that section...
