@OrevaZSN Spend less time sitting on your ass and then talking out of it to justify laziness

No, you cannot walk 10,000 steps daily, get 8 hours of sleep, cook every night, clean every day, take care of a family, make time for your own hobbies, and still be productive at work every day. This is not just propaganda, it is nonsense. Free yourself from it.

@annvandersteel That’s because many of us have lived here long enough to know it’s complete bollocks and wi never happen

Thailand just made a massive geopolitical move and hardly anyone here is talking about it. They are planning a 28 billion dollar land bridge to bypass the Strait of Malacca. Think about what that means for a second. Right now about a quarter of the world’s trade moves through that one chokepoint. If something disrupts it, everything feels it. Thailand wants to change that. They are connecting the Indian Ocean to the Pacific by land, moving cargo across their country instead of forcing ships through the strait. That cuts days off shipping times and lowers costs. This puts Thailand right in the middle of global trade in a way we have not seen before. And it raises some real questions. Who is backing this financially? Who benefits the most if traffic shifts away from Malacca? What happens to the current balance of power in that region? This is not just an infrastructure story. It is a shift in how goods move around the world and who controls that movement. Most people will scroll right past this. They should not.

@business Don’t hold your breath. It’s just a grift to swallow more money

Thailand will press ahead with a plan to link the Indian and Pacific oceans, after tensions over the Strait of Hormuz highlighted the strategic value of key shipping routes, a senior minister said bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@Mark_in_Bangkok @daninbangkok There will be none 🤣

@daninbangkok I won't be going into Patts. I'm hoping for some tranquility in Jomtien 🤦

Those videos from Songkran in Bangkok yesterday look horrendous. This is my 9th year here and never done a Songkran in BK, always managing to get away to the beach or further. Will aim to maintain that forever I think.

@IMadeAGlitch @FPetet Thailand consistently ranks among the deadliest countries globally for road accidents (32.7 per 100,000 population), while the UK is one of the safest (~2.7 per 100,000). I truly don’t understand how anyone could have your opinion. It’s factually and even subjectively not close

@FPetet So far I wouldn't rate it any more dangerous than London traffic wise to be honest Guess it depends what part of Bangkok and what hour

I can't believe how naive some people can be. I was called a liar when I said that the traffic in Bangkok is dangerous. Mind you that person has been Thailand 9 times, so maybe just a few hours on the Bangkokian streets. I see cars jumping red lights every single time I go out.

@gram23k @afeldMMA Wellmaker should be capable of beating a UFC debutant on short notice. He could have ended up with another killer too. I think a debutant is the best you can hope for in the UFC.

@chronicdom @afeldMMA Because they probably knew he was the truth and that it would be a lose lose fight for wellmaker

Another great performance by Ethyn Ewing in his 2nd UFC fight 👀 But…hard not to think about the shiesty move from Jason House & Iridium, who rep both Ewing & Wellmaker, and still threw Ewing in on hrs notice against their own client at UFC 322 MSG 🤷🏻‍♂️

@afeldMMA People fight each other from the same gym. Coaches train both. It’s just the way this sport operates. The best fight the best, maybe the best man win. I doubt wellmaker would ask his manager to protect him. If he goes out there and KOs him we aren’t having this conversation

@afeldMMA A mangers job is to get his client paid and get him an opportunity to get to the top of the sport. It was wellmakers job to go out and beat a debutant. He failed. Are we arguing he should have fought someone more experienced or not fought? Maybe would have ended even worse.

@coachleeboyce Fitness and health should be fun. If it stops being that for you then you are doing something wrong

I don't use preworkout. I don't lift in the best moisture-wicking dri-fit outfit. I don't cold plunge daily. I don't need a 650 deadlift or 500 squat. I don't care about maximum hypertrophy at any cost. I don't do TikTok workouts or fitness trends. There's a reason for all this.

@gothburz This tweet is art 😂

I bought Rivian stock on IPO day. November 10, 2021. $172 a share. I bought 58 shares. That was $9,976. I remember the exact number because my girlfriend asked what I spent ten thousand dollars on and I said "the future of transportation." She said "you drive a 2017 Civic." I said "exactly." $1,000 invested at IPO is now worth $149.06. I have that number memorized. I check it before coffee. I check it after coffee. I check it during meetings where I'm supposed to be listening. The number changes by pennies. The pennies matter to me now. The thesis was simple. Rivian was the next Tesla. They had the Amazon delivery vans. They had the adventure truck. They had the factory in Normal, Illinois. I told people the factory was in a town called Normal. I thought that was meaningful. A sign. The future of transportation, built in a place called Normal. The factory produced 24,337 vehicles in its first full year. Tesla produced 1.8 million. I called that "room to grow." I have been through six theses on Rivian. Thesis one: they're the next Tesla. (Stock dropped 40%.) Thesis two: the Amazon vans are the real play. (Amazon cut the order.) Thesis three: the R2 platform will be the mass-market breakthrough. (Delayed 18 months.) Thesis four: the Georgia factory changes everything. (Paused indefinitely.) Thesis five: Volkswagen's $5 billion investment validates the technology. (Stock kept falling.) Thesis six: Uber robotaxis. This is the pivot. Every time the stock drops, I find the new thesis. I don't look for it. It finds me. I open Reddit. I open the Rivian subreddit. Someone has written a post titled "Why this is actually bullish." It has 400 upvotes. I read it. I agree with it. I was going to agree with it before I read it. The agreement is the point. The DD is the prayer. My cost basis is $172. The stock is $14.06. I am down 91.8%. I could have bought a used Rivian R1T with the money I've lost on Rivian stock. I have not done the math on this. I'm doing it now. Yes. I could have bought one. A 2022 with 30,000 miles. I would have the truck AND the remaining money. I drive a 2017 Civic. My coworker Dave bought index funds. Dave is up 34% over the same period. Dave brings a sad lunch to work every day. Turkey sandwich. Same sandwich. Dave will retire at 65 with a comfortable nest egg and a lifetime of turkey sandwiches and he will never know what it felt like to be early. I am early. I have been early for four and a half years. At some point early and wrong have the same return on investment. But they feel different. Wrong feels like a mistake. Early feels like a strategy. I feel like a strategy. The Uber partnership was announced Tuesday. I texted three people. One was my brother. One was a guy from the Rivian subreddit whose real name I don't know. One was my girlfriend. My ex-girlfriend. She stopped asking about Rivian in 2023. She stopped asking about anything in 2024. The stock jumped 10%. It gave half back the same day. But for eleven minutes I was only down 81% instead of 85%. I called that momentum. I took a screenshot. I still have the screenshot. Rivian will build robotaxis for Uber. Rivian has not built a profitable vehicle for anyone. Rivian lost $38,784 on every vehicle it delivered last year. That's not my number. That's their 10-K. But I don't think about it that way. I think about it as investment in scale. Scale means you lose money faster until you don't. Uber needs thousands of autonomous vehicles. Rivian needs to not go bankrupt before 2027. These are complementary needs. That's a partnership. That's synergy. That's the pivot. Dave asked me yesterday how much I'm down. I said "I'm long-term." He said "it's been four years." I said "Tesla was down 80% once." He said "Tesla was also profitable once." Dave went back to his sandwich. Dave doesn't understand pivots. I bought more shares this morning. This is the pivot.

@enzogorlamixyz @levelsio It does. Constant smog. You can escape it down south though

@levelsio Insane. I wonder if Thailand has a similar problem? Never been

So many stories like this in Bali You book a beautiful luxury couple massage Beautiful temple with a jungle garden and nice staff welcoming you with a welcome drink Then you lie down and 15 minutes into the massage the trash burning starts, the entire room gets cooked and fills with smoggy air You and your clothes all smell after Staff says "normaaallll in Baliiii" It's really a paradise lost

@zaika_hl Better food 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Vietnam beats it in almost every aspect 🇻🇳 better coffee 🇻🇳 better food 🇻🇳 more affordable 🇻🇳 insane nature from north to south 🇻🇳 fewer tourists 🇻🇳 friendlier people

@McGregorRousey2 Probably a nice way of saying he doesn’t want to be part of the US propogana machine

Turning down the biggest fight of your career on the biggest card of all time where you would be a -300 favorite has to be the lowest IQ move I have ever seen

@TaraW500 @RealEmirHan You didn’t watch it or had zero comprehension

@RealEmirHan Didn’t care for Chalamet as Wonka, he was too young for the role. Wilder and Depp were adults, at the height of their career when they played Wonka.

Timothée Chalamet calls WONKA “the riskiest thing” he’s done in his career: “It was untraditional career step. That movie didn’t get its fair shake. I thought it was punk rock to do something that wasn’t cool. I don’t think people really took it that way.”

@TrentReinsmith With those credentials, he should be running for office instead of fighting in MMA

@GurugardenerNz @Milovxyvy @arielhelwani 2 finishes in last 12 fights. 4 split decisions.

@chronicdom @Milovxyvy @arielhelwani The pitter patter jab style disappears the moment he sees someone hurt or fatiguing.. he's shown that. The ddp fight he won the first time and lost the next but it was a striking/cardio battle mainly... Completely different fight this one and hence why MMA math is awful

Chimaev x Strickland will headline UFC 328 on May 9 in Newark, per the UFC.

@DrakeRiggs_ I don’t get the excitement at all. I don’t watch MMA for the press conferences and the fight is very predictable for me

Better? Questionable. Bigger? Sure. Still not the best fighting the best. Joke title fight.

@GurugardenerNz @Milovxyvy @arielhelwani Khamzat just went 5 rounds and beat DDP who Strickland lost to twice. I just don’t see it personally. That pitter patter jab style he has to win 5 round decisions seems like a terrrible game plan for someone like Khamzat

@chronicdom @Milovxyvy @arielhelwani Khamzat has 0 cardio stats... Sean is a far better anti-grappler than DDP.. At first thought khamzat wins via sub, but if it gets out of rd 2 , Sean is winning the fight.

@GurugardenerNz @Milovxyvy @arielhelwani I’m not excited by listening to talking. Yes I think Strickland would take a title fight regardless but he’s stupid enough to think he’s going to win too

@chronicdom @Milovxyvy @arielhelwani Uhhh banger because there is a lot of history from being in the gym together etc.. You think Strickland is taking this fight if he knows khamzat just ragdolled him and smashed him in the gym? This will be very interesting. The buildup and the fight.
