Strong, the cognitive dissonance, this thread contains. Confirmation bias, too, powerful it has become.

Open your mind, you must, to see the truth. 

Just add the three separate items to your cart, then go to checkout and see what the shipping calculation is. You aren't committed to purchase at that stage. So if the shipping isn't combined, just delete from the cart.

So you can have both the debit card and a virtual card? 

 

Now that sounds interesting.  I currently have the debit card, which has been great.  I like the virtual card security and replacement aspects so if I can have both it would be fantastic. 

 

I'd only use the debit card for ATM withdrawals. 

Yep, that's how it works. Just hit the "Cards" option and you'll see where to request the digital card. It only exists as a number, no plastic. 

It's still a hassle to change all your subscriptions etc if compromised, but at least the plastic card in your wallet remains safe.

If there's one thing that Thais do exceptionally well, it's clipping the ticket...again, and again, and again. It never gets old. 

My Bolt taxi deviated through Soi VC area a few days ago. More barber shops and Arabic signs than you can throw a stick at.  Plenty of said muppets on bikes, and my driver showed them no mercy - cutting a few off and blasting his horn with pleasure. 

I note with interest that the ONS do not record the ethnicity of the offenders. 

Also interesting to note that the rate of offences was stable or declining until 2013. Sexual offences prevalence and trends, England and Wales - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk)

I'm positive the rampant influx of immigrants following Blair's reign is unrelated to these statistics.  

They set the retirement age at 55 way back before Y2K when life expectancy was about 65 for men and 75 for women.

As the personal tax take from the vast majority of the working population is minimal, and the pensions paid even less, the "retirement age" is not a critical expense on the national budget.

In the West, pension and medical expenses are usually the top expenditure for governments coming 1st and 2nd on the list.  In Thailand, they are on page 37 of the budget, just after spending on pest control at the parliament building.

Therefore in the eyes of the government, the official retirement age is just another irrelevant number.

Hope the boy is okay.

They will be classified as undocumented migrants until election day, then they'll be reclassified as illegal aliens.

Doublespeak. 

Relaxed liberal attitudes to pornography, sex, religion, and family values have made the West what it is today. Whoops. 

His rapid decline over the last four years was obvious to any right-minded person. So now it's Funny as hell to see all the shock and dismay from MSM and elected Democrats. 

Denial is not a river in Egypt. Cognitive dissonance never ends well. 

Here's a couple of predictions. Following Biden's withdrawal, the DNC will select a totally off the wall, but popular and well known (non-political) nominee. I'm thinking someone a la Dwayne Johnson. Yes, The Rock.

Their intention being to pick up the low IQ non-political uninformed voters who are just smart enough to realize Biden is unsuitable and otherwise wouldn't bother voting.

The running mate will be a night watchman of sorts, say Shapiro.

And if you can get a bet on the Joint Chiefs of Staff at least attempting a military intervention (I hesitate to use the word coup), following Trump's return to the Whitehouse, take the bet. Assuming of course that Trump survives the next assassination attempt.

And if you're thinking this could never happen, this is America - you aren't paying attention beyond what the MSM are pedalling to you.

Gamma - I have a question for you. I feel sure that only someone with your incredible insight and intellect will be able to solve this riddle that has caused me many sleepless nights since I first heard it in 1975.

Q: How big is a banana this colour? (asked while holding hands apart, as if describing the fish you caught, or the length of a bodily appendage.)

A: A motorbike, because T-shirts don't have doors.

It's a conundrum.

Crime of the century. But nonetheless, very expedient.

I hope he used his indicators/winkers/blinkers/signal light/flashers - choose your poison.
