we were supposed to keep building houses like this forever and just get better at plumbing and insulation

Dental Tourism Firsthand Report I am not paid for this review. I'm posting it out of gratitude, so don't expect any entertaining trash talk, though there is one lady boy. Here is my data: I got one dental implant and one broken filling replaced. That added up to six hours in the chair. Here is the summary of my Thai dental tourism experience: 1. An implant happens in two stages, six months apart. Each stage cost about $1K. (I chose the premium hardware.) Compared to my (admittedly expensive) US oral surgeon, I saved enough money to pay for both flights and two weeks in swim-up hotel rooms. 2. The Sea Smiles office has no stainless steel escalators. The halls are narrow and the stairways are steep, so it is not a showplace. However, it does have an MRI machine and some hot hygienists. 3. I arrive 10 minutes before my appointment, and I am sitting in the chair talking to the oral surgeon 5 minutes before my appointment. This does not resemble my US dentistry experience. 4. The east-Asian surgeons (I had two) were swift and sure. They have obviously done it many times, and one was instructing an apprentice. One surgeon was male, the other female. The staff were all female. All were East Asian or Southeast Asian. 5. Every step was clearly explained and photographed. Nothing felt hurried. 6. Mrs. Jerk is in the medical testing business. She has direct Thailand connections and says Thai medicine is good. (She won't say that about South America.) 7. This is probably least important, but it's Thailand so the staff are all friendly. 8. The receptionist was a ladyboy. I know you'll enjoy that. 9. Based on my implant experience, I asked them to replace a deep broken filling. That was 90 minutes in the chair. Total cost including consultation and X-rays: $180 USD. 10. The final products (one implant and one filling) are apparently flawless. The implant includes a 2-year warranty and paperwork so a US dentist can get parts. The place is called Sea Smiles, in Phuket. Grok suggested it because of its stellar online reviews, which in my opinion are well deserved.

Muchos mensajes, análisis y comentarios como este, asegurando que las pandillas de Haití no son como las de El Salvador; que son sanguinarias, que están fuertemente armadas, que nadie ha podido vencerlas, que todas las misiones han fracasado, que estamos cayendo en una trampa, que no sabemos a lo que nos enfrentamos, que será nuestra ruina, que vamos camino a nuestro Waterloo. Pero cuando Dios nos conceda la victoria, los mismos que hoy dicen todo eso cambiarán su discurso. Dirán que siempre fue fácil, que cualquiera podía hacerlo, que las pandillas de Haití no eran tan peligrosas como se pensaba. En fin, nunca los hemos escuchado y no vamos a empezar ahora. Todos los que se han enlistado son creyentes y hemos encomendado esta misión a Dios, mientras que las pandillas de Haití son satánicas y es de conocimiento público que hacen sacrificios humanos. Dios nos concederá la victoria. El Creador del Universo está con nosotros. Deuteronomio 28:7 “Jehová derrotará a tus enemigos que se levantaren contra ti; por un camino saldrán contra ti, y por siete caminos huirán de delante de ti”.

🇭🇹🇸🇻 À ceux qui pensent que Nayib Bukele peut intervenir militairement en Haïti à la suite de la «disparition » des quatre militaires salvadoriens, je tiens à rappeler ceci : La volonté légitime du président salvadorien de sauver ses quatre militaires ne saurait justifier une intervention militaire unilatérale en Haïti, en violation de sa souveraineté nationale. La lutte contre les gangs ne saurait devenir un prétexte pour contourner le droit international. Toute opération militaire doit s’inscrire dans un cadre juridique clairement établi, conformément au mandat de la Force de répression des gangs (FRG) et aux dispositions de la Charte des Nations unies. La gravité de la situation sécuritaire en Haïti ne suspend ni le droit international ni la souveraineté du pays. Nancy Roc #Haiti #Salvador #Souveraineté #InterventionMilitaire

I’m not and never will be an advocate for prostitution, but what is the difference between buying a prostitute and dating a woman in 2026? Tbh, I’m not even sure you can call what we have dating anymore. Dating implies there’s a meaningful outcome being pursued, like a long-term relationship leading to marriage and a family. But modern women are no longer interested in those things. Their main objectives are exchanging their sexuality to gain power, provisioning, and luxury experiences from multiple men. So essentially, a prostitute or an escort with more subtle branding. To an extent, all relationships are transactional, but when the dating market starts looking like an open air, expensive prostitution market then something is deeply wrong.
