Just curious, is there a mention of the time the interview happened? Surely those who are teenagers in 2010 onwards vs those who were teenagers in 1980s has a very different experience growing up.

BEIJING: China banned reality talent programmes Thursday and ordered broadcasters to promote more masculine representations of men, in a wide-ranging crackdown on "immoral" pop culture Beijing believes is leading young people astray. Talent shows that put hundreds of aspiring young performers through rigorous boot camps and subject them to public votes have become massively popular in China, sparking criticism over obsessive fans and poor role models. Broadcast and TV institutions must not screen idol development programmes or variety shows and reality shows," China's broadcast regulator, the National Radio and Television Administration said, in a raft of new regulations. The regulator ordered broadcasters to resist "abnormal aesthetics" such as "sissy" men, "vulgar influencers", stars' inflated pay and performers with "lapsed morals."

Talent shows that put hundreds of aspiring young performers through rigorous boot camps and subject them to public votes have become massively popular in China, sparking criticism over obsessive fans and poor role models. "Broadcast and TV institutions must not screen idol development programmes or variety shows and reality shows," China's broadcast regulator, the National Radio and Television Administration said, in a raft of new regulations. The regulator ordered broadcasters to resist "abnormal aesthetics" such as "sissy" men, "vulgar influencers", stars' inflated pay and performers with "lapsed morals." Faced with falling birth rates, Chinese authorities have tried to instil traditional masculine values in the country's youth by ramping up gym classes and criticising male entertainers who model the effeminate looks of Korean pop idols. Instead, broadcasters were urged to "strongly promote outstanding traditional Chinese culture... and advanced socialist culture." Popular Chinese blogger Feng Xiaoyi had his account suspended by Douyin – China's version of TikTok – last week for "promoting unhealthy values", after some users complained about his "sissy" videos. Video streaming site iQiyi last week said it would cancel all future idol talent shows that are in development. More at Source

Lets hope this is true. Meanwhile malaysia is also thinking of the same line of living with the virus, though our timeline might be more realistic as we are 48% fully vaccinated and 62% at least first dose of all population. Of the eligible adult population, that number is much higher at 67%/87% respectively. We will also begin vaccination for 12-18 soon in states where majority of the adult has been fully vaccinated. https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2021/09/01/covid-19-expected-to-become-endemic-in-malaysia-by-end-of-october-says-kj

Id be very poor if i live in brazil. All 4 massage places shared above have plenty of masseurs that id like to try!

Did he know his rapper name boosie, sounds exactly like bussy? Maybe thats why he has a bad ass? Lol

I believe 50% or more of any condo has to be own by thai is still in effect. So if 80% of the sales were bought by foreigners, i assumed there are plenty of unsold thai quota condos out there as well?

Im surprised the article claim that people never heard of putrajaya. It is in between the airport and KL, and if u ever tale the airport train, one of the stop is putrajaya. Other than that, i agree that it is a well planned new capital that deserve a visit. Unfortunately, there is no lrt to travel through the city so most local use car or motorcycle to roam the city. Plenty of people enjoy cycling too. There is a local bus system but ive never taken one so i cant comment on their reliability. A lot of government events held there well, with the latest was national day parade on 31st Aug. Hot air baloon mentioned in the article is something ive never took, but there is an annual hot air balloon festival/competition pre-covid era. If you are visiting malaysia and KL, it is definitely worth a visit, great place to take pictures too. Some photos from my most recent visit at night

Im not medical expert but if the hospital had to isolate you and everyone need to wear gloved and full ppe to enter, rimming or not, youll get it if u are with a person who has it.

So prior to these new 7 rules, they dont need to be honest, obey the constitution, make right decision, prioritize the public, strive for success, carry duty without prejudice, and be a good example?

Lol breeders? If only that is true. Dont think this sitcom has ever been aired here in malaysia. Plus seems like the sitcom is very old 😜

I dont even know what golden girls are lol

I asked about music too lol. This i can use for next time hehe.

I read this as well but this fact check is specific to criminals in US. I tried to google used of the drug through fingering and fail to find any, but found plenty of reportings that slip the drugs into your drinks, especially in colombia.

I dont ask directly, but i sometimes ask some indrect questions that usually gives me a clue. Asking if they have a boyfriend for example. Its not a deal breaker for me if they are gay or straight or bi, but i am one of those who want the guy to fit certain criteria if i am paying. Cant say what ill do if i want a long term relationship as ive yet consider getting into that. So far, ive only went out with one guy in thailand that is for fun, and not for sex, and it doesnt involve me paying him money for his time. Of course i did picked up the bills, but there is no obligation for him to do what he dont want. In fact, i even offer to give him money before sending him off and he politely refuse. This guy, i didnt know exactly if he is gay or bi or straight, but i did ask him what is his type and he shows me the kind of guy he like, when we were at a gay bar. Those boys who i know for a fact that they are straight, often from mamasan, but still will go with me, i sometimes ask them what kind of girl do they like. One said he like blonde lady lol.

Wow, thanks for the visual. I didnt know there is a transdermal patch version of the drug. Ive read people slip the drug through alcohol or even the women laced their boobs with the drugs and entice guys to lick it. Putting the drug up one's butt is new to me for sure. At first i imagine some sort of suppository version but it wont be as easy to out in without notice as to compare with a patch.

How does that work? Drugging when stretching?

https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/coronavirus/does-mouthwash-kill-covid-19 A quick google came up with a list of studies, one of which is the above

No one close to me had died of covid, but i know few people personally that had died. Of course if we expand to my friend's family, my cousin's families on the other side, work colleagues etc, those numbers add up. At least except for one person, all of my extended families than im in communication with, are taking their vaccines, and majority had their 2nd dose already. Regardless of this, i cant feel sympathy for those who not only decided for themselves that they are superior being and can ward off the virus without medical help, but also preach others to do the same. And these people are also the one selling those ivermectin, or cloves water, or whatever natural immunity and supplement that they claim able to keep covid away. If these people died from covid, i cant feel sad at all, simply because, if they had survived, they will then say whatever they claim is true, thus continue their mission to drag eveeyone else down with them

We have police to do spotcheck for compliance here. Of course if your premises become a cluster, that might spell disaster if u didnt follow the rules.

No worries, its the same damn crowd anyway. Lol

At least she came to her sense and still goes to the hospital for treatment. Clearly her natural method didnt work to ward off covid. The "natural" things that ive heard here includes charcoal, cloves, vitamin C, papaya leaves. Ivermectin while gaining traction here as well, is not natural.

I did a search just now and flight price is still reasonable for me. Not as cheap but standard price when there is no promotion or sale.

Im on the same boat, plus i need my country to also allow us to travel. Otherwise, its bureaucratic headache both ways.

If this happen, any of the members here will jump on the next available ticket to thailand in mid oct? Hehe

Our quarantine centers has always separate male and female, so is our wards. I didnt know thailand didnt separate by gender. Is it uncommon in other countries as well?
