Because I am citing them. I think I get it. Reader means AI bot but pretending to not get with the 21st century? Family and friends names steer to social media handles. If you cannot name, say, 3 platforms within that overarching meaning then you should recuse yourself. Perhaps I have unfairly attributed your posturing to obnoxiousness where learned helplessness better applies. There is public domain info outside the parameters of a few relatively rinkadink Thai news sources you seem to be umbilically tied to. If you can identify a few social media platforms zero degrees of separation from several persons in the story, start there. If you cannot, I suggest you recuse yourself from the discussion because you are wasting my time other than that I can perhaps reinforce my expectations for reporting standards. I have more than a dozen individual person social media sources within four social media platforms going along with several additional news sources corroborating the narrative I have summarized. I am not listing them all and nobody with any sense will rifle through it all even if posted. Do you think I spend time scrolling through absurdly endless Twitter/X links of somatotype carbon copy trade that members insert? It’s your prerogative to undertake the same triangulated approach to information gathering and refute my views as they stand related to the missing persons story, as they are not incontrovertible. Or take a chill pill, let it all go, until the next occasion you feel impelled to post a low impact low output story of middling interest and toss a grenade into innocent attempts to increase its pertinence. I don’t have your trust? So who’s to stop you? You’re the actual story here and I wonder why that doesn’t make you happy. 😃

Naw, Imma complain, bossy-pants. Weren’t you one of those suckered into posting a redacted travel ticket when accused of fabrication? (Going from memory, admittedly, I wish my brain would filter out the painfully boring.) Who, whether you or anybody, with any degree of self-possession falls for that? Remember what Dan Savage’s definition of Santorum is? 🤣

The fellow’s family and friends must be beside themselves with worry. He and his sister, the same one referenced as reporting his disappearance, each reported on their social media in March 2020 (see his “yarn” above; a term employed by resident troll) that his mother was missing, searching ensued, and then “crickets”. Local news sources reported that her body was retrieved some 18 days later, a few miles south of her parked vehicle, from a 175 metre-wide river in a relatively populated area. Death not deemed suspicious; I believe that the meta-message is often suicide or accident. Likely not swimming weather. No further information on their social media ensued about her death as it was likely deemed a family matter and folks will often retreat from their socials as only those relevant to the deceased are informed. Simply a later reference to 2020 having been an extraordinarily trying year, the father (surviving spouse) having died at the end of 2020. The timing of their mother’s (stepmother to Simon’s considerably older sister, but I assume his bio Mom) after weeks of disappearance is not indicated by family. Sadly, this information had been utilized early on by local trolls privy to the history in an attempt to shape the present narrative online, even as far as accusing the family of crowdsourcing and Simon of irresponsibility. His family and friends express fear that he will be stereotyped and that this will subvert the wide social net cast in the hopes of finding him. They are downplaying the deja vu flavour of the present crisis. He is described as sensitive and caring, and surely has an experiential grasp of the pain of searching for a missing loved one. The family must be racked with complex decision-making and second-guessing about what theories explain his disappearance: foul play, mental health, injury, dissociative fugue, having taken personal space and avoiding what he would face in terms of their anger upon resurfacing, any number of explanations save flying on an Airbus as opposed to Boeing if he indeed flew Finnair. Online critics have challenged the source of the departure verification, an apparent airport government agent doing it “off the record” through messaging on the sister’s socials, and Finnair refuses to release ‘confidential information’ about passengers’ boarding status. Without this courtesy Simon’s people are struggling whether to send a family member to Thailand or Finland, and what Interpol branch to prevail upon. —- This has got me to thinking about tracking my own travel movements with family by sharing itineraries, etc. I already do this. I was wondering if I list an emergency contact for flight bookings, as I do in my airline profiles, would that person be able to break through the firewall of confidentiality with any carrier that applies, or is that a one-way street limited to the airline’s interests?

Stalling ants. Must be the scarier 10m platform after making a springboard splash.

Two daily marathons? 10K to start as well as evening 5K? Impressive. Olympics really can be inspiring.

You were saying?

I wonder when NBC American announcers will catch on that Africa is a continent with 50+ countries and Botswana a nation unto itself. There can be an area record but athlete placement is national.

Wish fulfilled! Thank you, Letsile for besting silver. Congrats Kenny. The Ark didn’t sink; bronze is impressive. SARS-CoV-2 always a bad break. You’d think with such stakes and resources, 3 events on the line, it would have been on the radar and avoided. Wonder if he has isolated since diagnosis some days ago or screwed up his relay team co-members’ health and chances. How BIG? Pretty.

I have no basis for comparing with Peacock. That platform hosts a few shows that pique my interest. I have been tentatively planning a one-week trial option, if still available, to binge through of a cold dark winter week.

I view in real time or tape and watch both NBC and CBC coverage. They have taken to sometimes miniaturizing events on the screen during a plentiful array of commercials. I get that sponsors are essential and I don’t mind, though usually fast-forwarding from recordings. My app streaming choice came down to Peacock or CBC Gem. I already have the latter for a few bucks monthly, so the obvious choice. Live full events then archived for later attention. Organized by sport and day, no ads, total unbroken event coverage rather than jumping around, and capacity to forward the recording at 10-second intervals or using the time bar during slow parts, or slowing or freezing the speed over some parts worth fixating over. Less excitable broadcast announcers but sometimes it’s preferable to just judge quality through one’s own personal lens. And no, not gonna post my Bell Fibe credit card receipts lest they get irreversibly caught in the cracks and crevices.

Looks rather small and undeveloped at this point. Maybe it’s high tide.

I think he just snatched an unclean jerk of a flying bug into his gaping mouth. I hope it didn’t transport too much e coli to wrestle with.

One language example is “Where d’u plant this?” Just because you want thissa man do take a hard run and plant his long bendy pole tip into your strategically located and powdered vault box doesn’t make him the handsomest among hundreds. What poll is your source? I would like to be given a choice to be rigorously polled. Cum Mondo I adjust the standard down if he is to clear it? Mais oui.

I’d say once or 1.x where x is 0-0.999 …, by average, but you need to ask the right person. Be advised, though, that it must be a well kept secret because it has been asked the same way yet answered differently a number of occasions to infinity.

If you’ve ever met a four course dinner and been bowled over it’s simile.

Maybe he’ll get to eat simile for Turkey Day.

Sister’s social media and go from there. You’re the one that provided the first lead, Nancy. You have her name. I’m not your personal secretary. Get Bess, George, Frank, Joe, Bert, Nan, Flossie and Freddie, and the showrunners of the Viennese tubs spa doc to help you look up the info yourself. That last part actually added relevance.😂 This is far more fun. The wrong people go off grid, inn’t. If you like, get the father’s name, mother’s name, UK missing persons coastguard data, the actual name and media handles of the BKK airport official involved, extended blended family tree, what have you. It’s all at your fingertips within a few minutes. Thai translator app may extend the effort a tad. My interest is clinical, convergent integration of various components into a narrative, the same type of process that guides how to manage difficult people. Then possibly seeing the degree of coherence, of commonality, between my interpretation and any true outcome summary evolving beyond emerging puzzle pieces … should they actually be available. These missing-person stories often fizzle out faster than my inclination to accommodate absurd requests. For example as well, we shouldn’t need travel receipts to demonstrate to obnoxious entitled second-rate influencers where we’ve been, as you well know. Behind every troll’s demand lurks psychological impotence.

You devil you, you like travel, so go to Helsinki yourself in a tub and try to chill a spell.

I would say that a much clearer gay connection is that an actor named Robinson plays Simon in Love, Simon. On a more serious note apparently the mother that was reported missing (not the Jennifer Garner one) was dead by the end of the same year (2020), but with no bridging info indicating foul play or whatnot, just mentioned as predeceased in the father’s notice of sudden death at home at age 65 at the end of that year. Though of course also COVID’s inaugural year. Having done a clinical rotation in suicide intervention, I fear the worse for this young man. If a pertinent factor, family history may figure in their present anxiety.

Getting Corrie St enough yet? And yes, same guy posting at about Day 4 of missing parent.

The original location component of the story is now Finnish. Perhaps that makes it more relevant, or not.

Good point. Oh the Queen's Gambit of it all. Would that the intended tripping up works out.

Favours the classic Ye Old Mill state fair ride but capable of mastering the Slingshot challenge thingy, with Hope.

As Walz doesn’t likely bring in more electoral votes, did she trade off Penn or Arizona votes that might now elude her? He does look rather old for his age but otherwise the antithesis of “weird”. He might come across as benignly paternal, benevolent coach to scattered student, if pit against Vance in debate; I believe Vance was essentially fatherless (?) Of note, the Waltons (sp) have a challenge/success narrative reproducing with Mayo Clinic IVF intervention yielding two children now 17 (18?) and 23. Cancels out ‘shirker’ criticism re: bio offspring? Merges nicely with self-determination medical assist concept. Otherwise, normal as all get out and I believe moderate Christians. It is what they aren’t that may have been a key factor. (Trudeau was a teacher before PM, but not not nepo-ish.) Wife Gwen, also a teacher, can likely do the following Minn twin-city move without looking like an ass. She perhaps also somewhat subs well for Jill B exiting the scene by default.
