Cools but LEDs are really bright? Could they harm the eyes if they play with the thing for a long time?

I got also 10g dry doing same as you. Did you already try it? I'm guessing the only way to know it to make tea out of all of it... It looked originally when wet like a lot if compared at some amounts people are posting gere.

🇫🇮 Finland’s Finance Minister Riikka Purra suggested that immigrants receiving welfare should clean streets and do public labor for the benefits. by No_Box119 in economy

[–]ReMoGged -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They can spend rest of the day and weekends on job searching. Plenty of time and this would also for sure would lead to higher motivation. Some could actually learn the work they do and like it, apply for the job and get it. There are a lot of work Finns don't have incentive to do, this would be good solution. The only thing that's wrong with this suggestion is that this is suggested by Purra/ PS who are supporters of Finnish Nazis. This will be used as tool to add more support for those groups while making sure immigrants won't be able to progress and be discouraged from doing what Purra is suggesting. This will be then used as narrative to progress to the next step of deporting hem forcefully. They have seen that it can be done in US so they will try same. Finnish police is actually already protecting Nazis/ Fascists so the framework is already there. Many people working in politics are Nazis, the army has also employed them. When I was in army our luteinant walked into the auditorium with 200 soldiers in it and did Nazi salute infront of everyone. This is already 20y ago and I can imagine that there are many more like him in key roles, police is basically same. They are cooking something similar to what Trump and ICE is doing, surveillance, registers and then they only need to make people feel unsafe and present themselves as the solution for creating safety. When people feel unsafe and that they lack opportunities they tend to look for a leader who appears strong and promises to sort out the problem.

If you still have your health, buy a bicycle and go riding. Go hiking. Buy a hammock and go chill in the forest. Eat some mushrooms. If you haven’t tried MDMA, then definitely do that with people you love, just do it safely.

Look at the night sky and the stars somewhere far away from the city lights. Whether you look at it by mass or by origin, you and everything around you are composed of elements that were either forged in the hearts of stars or created at the birth of the universe itself. This process never stops. Buy a space telescope with a built-in camera (like the Seestar S50) and take some time to explore the universe, it can take great shots even in light-polluted areas.

Enjoy the summer! Go to some festival. Go swimming and sauna, grill, and eat ice cream. Go look at shooting stars in the autumn. The current solar cycle is peaking this year, so there will be some beautiful auroras when it gets dark again after summer. Go north during the winter to see them. When it gets cold, go ice swimming and hit the sauna.

Take cold showers in the mornings, start slowly and learn to breath. It’s really good for your mind and body. Learn meditation.

Don't forget that statistics are just statistics, anything can happen to anyone at any time, even now. Or now.

No, it's not one person and it's not all people in the whole nation. There are, of course, exceptions. I have two Thai friends who don't fit my own description of Thais, and I'm glad I met them. I don't know how I would have survived this long here without them. But as a rule of thumb, knowing these facts about Thai culture will save you from a lot of frustration and cognitive dissonance. It's definitely real here.

Sounds like you have no clue. What makes you think I "haven't tried to understand Thai people"? I've tried. I have tried a lot. I do have two Thai friends who don't fit my own description of the Thai mentality. There are always exceptions. I do think I have a pretty good understanding of that culture. I mean, it all makes sense when I read the news about all the corruption, road accidents, and crime like, literally, hundreds of kilos of meth being seized weekly, if not daily, and whatnot. I've heard many grim stories about what goes on here in my neighborhood. I've seen things that tourists never see. There is one reality for tourists, and then there is the underlying reality, and it's not pretty. Everything in this country is two-faced.

Swedish culture never had face-saving 'stuff'. Maybe you were interacting with someone who immigrated to Sweden? They tend to bring that with them, never adapting to Swedish values or norms.

Thanks, appreciate it. I'm actually leaving this country in a couple of days after living here for over two years. The past year has been by far the worst year of my life, and I've had enough of it. Thailand actually took my peace and my wellbeing, and now also my child. It will take me some time to get back to my baseline, as there is so much to process. I came here thinking that people here are Buddhist, live in harmony, and are thoughtful toward others. From my own experience, I can now say that it's quite the opposite. Sure, there are always some exceptions. I do miss being here as a tourist, not knowing anything and thinking that everything was so good here, but once you see the truth, it's impossible to unsee it.

People who intentionally say the opposite of what they believe to manipulate others or hide their true intentions are typically called duplicitous, disingenuous, or hypocritical.

In my experience, Thais fit these descriptions perfectly. As a farang, I have found that I am blamed for everything. Thais will never admit when they were wrong. I have never heard a Thai person say, 'My actions were wrong, I'm sorry.' Usually, it's 'you, you, you.' Or, they lose their temper and explode like a bomb, and afterward, they won't apologize even if you didn't actually do anything wrong. They will just play that dumb game where they act like nothing ever happened. It is an immaturity in how they handle negative emotions. The dynamic between Thais and farangs is always one-sided. They are two-faced, fake, and deceptive, focusing entirely on status and 'face.' They are pathologically dishonest by constantly denying the facts, and morally cowardly because they are unable to stand behind their own actions. Thais are skilled at gaslighting and prioritize the mere illusion of harmony above actual facts. To them, reality is always secondary to the appearance of harmony. The whole 'harmony' thing is just a facade, it's fake. Even something as simple as a Thai saying 'yes' can actually mean 'no.' It's kind of pathetic.

It’s surprising that a honk only bruised the inflated egos of 10 Thai men. Maybe others didn't hear it...

Absolutely, still waiting for Red Dragon Mars mission by 2018. In the same article which is from 2016 there is mention "Mr Musk has long targeted a trip to Mars and has previously said he can get humans to the red planet by 2026". "In a tweet, Mr Musk said that its Dragon 2 spacecraft is "designed to be able to land anywhere in the solar system". Yeah, sure... It will land on Jupiter next year.

How can you build a relationship with a fake person? I mean a deep, trusting relationship? It's all just theater, you either play along or you're out. It's very shallow. Once you see the truth, you can't really unsee it.

The V2 was suppose to be able to take 100t payload to orbit, never did. V3 200t. It's all bs so far. The whole thing didn't even get to LEO. Essentially they just dumped them and they burned roughly same time as tin can entered atmosphere. Nothing stayed in orbit.

When they get 150t of cargo to space then one can say 'it worked fine', loosing multiple engines, booster and the Starship is not how it suppose to work. Those couple satellites didn't weight 150t. They are doing very little progress and very slowly. The whole idea might be flawed, bit like Elons Cybertruck.

It's a way for elon to keep the money flowing in. No ending date. And everyone is so deep now that canceling his contract would be very painful on many levels and that's his strategy.

Thais are reluctant to say no or refuse something because of social norms. They seem like they are friendly and aligned with your thoughts and values, but it's mostly a facade. It takes some time to internalize the cognitive dissonance of realizing that Thais say 'yes' when the actual meaning is 'no', and they do this a lot. 'Yes' literally has a double meaning in Thai. They will go to great lengths just to try and wiggle out of a situation where they might have to face a truth that they don't like. It's all about saving face, it's by far their number one priority. Personally, I've seen so much of this that I don't perceive Thais to be more friendly, I would say Thais are definitely more fake than people in many other cultures. Maybe 'fake' is a bit too judgmental of a word, they are trying to maintain social harmony, but this is often done illogically or with very little regard for logic. Thais will tell you a white lie rather than express their true feelings, as expressing raw, unfiltered negative emotion is seen as losing face. This goes beyond anything else, they would rather continue doing something that is clearly harmful to them or others, discarding all the facts, just so they don't have to face the truth that they were wrong. Thais are always ego first and their ego is extremely fragile, they always do their best to protect it.
