  1. Make me an offer and I think about programming the emoji distributor. 😉
  2. Do you really think you are so important that someone would go through the hassle and do that? But then, maybe this is a business idea. Maybe I should offer automatic emojis reactions and charge for those. And allow the target to pay more to get rid of the emojis and even more to put sad emojis on the originator. Lots of opportunities. 😉
  3. You can't be too long in Thailand when you still expect logic. I think there are often reasons to react in different ways. What happened, to whom it happened, the way something was written, who posted it, etc. Sometimes I am also surprised or confused how some people reacted to some post. But I don't think about it for more than a second. Basically: Who cares?
  4. I agree, in general he is not stupid. But sometimes even smart guys have stupid ideas. This is one of those.
  5. Do you have a reliable source for this?
  6. Thanks! Maybe a follow up question. I don't like DEI. But if they hire some LBGTQ+/- do you know or guess if the tests are according to the same standards? I.e. maybe 100 white guys apply for the job and 10 DEI special. Do the DEI people pass the same tests? Or is it like normal people have to score 100% and DEI will be hired even if they only have 70% or something like that? If someone was hired because she was a black lesbian, but she still is good in the job, then I think that should not be a problem.
  7. I agree that mostly Thai women like the man to take charge. But many Thai women also like to show their friends pictures of where they are and eat, etc. And IMHO the places which Thai women (for whatever reason) like, are often not what farangs prefer. I.e. it seems some places have buckets full of seafood and people eat it all with their hands. It seems that is popular. I wouldn't select such a place. But if she likes that, why not?
  8. Maybe for ordinary taxi drivers it makes sense to talk to tell the tourists where to go and pay extra. I like that most of the Bolt drivers don't say anything. Get it the car, confirm it's the correct driver and destination. Relax. Get out. Done. Everybody who uses a riding app knows where they want to go. And that is the service which the drivers provide. Not more, not less. And I am pretty sure some drivers talk to nice passengers...
  9. I would suggest your ask your little princess where she wants to go. Because maybe on YouTube or TikTok or wherever they talk about this wonderful place. And then you invite her to somewhere else "nobody knows". If she likes seafood, I am sure she will know where she wants to go.
  10. My regular diabetes doctor visit in a private hospital in Bangkok cost me 2,200 THB including laboratory (A1C, Blood Sugar, LDL-C). nurse service (blood pressure, etc.) and doctor fee (maybe 10 min). Just the laboratory cost 940 THB. It's not really that expensive. I buy my medication outside of the hospital.
  11. Sure, suddenly all the guest in some bars and restaurants will pay with crypto, and so many guests and such big bills...
  12. If a woman doesn't talk too much then I see this positive. Maybe she thought the same.
  13. Yes, it may have helped. That is a very big difference to: This only happened because of DEI. Let's stay real and look at the facts. And the facts from that accident are not yet established. If a detailed analysis finds out that DEI is to blame, ok. But maybe DEI had nothing to do with above. Why mix them together for political reasons?
  14. Maybe they can arrest him over there. It seems in Thailand the authorities are too scared to do that.
  15. I use that only if necessary, but if people are prepared for it, then it's a fast and convenient way to pay.
  16. Can someone please explain to me how to make a place a cryptocurrency hub? As far as I know the idea is that cryptocurrency works without borders. You can mine it anywhere, store it anywhere, use it anywhere. If any business in Phuket or anywhere else in Thailand wants to accept cryptocurrency then I guess they can do that already. Or not? So, what would be a cryptocurrency hub? Paying the hotel and the taxi and in the restaurant with cryptocurrency? How exiting. And does everyone have to do that or is it optional? And would anybody who has a lot of cryptocurrency chose Phuket as a holiday destination only because it is a or the cryptocurrency hub? What is the point?
  17. Do you think she was so stupid that the needed time to register that there are small and large packages? Or was your English or Thai or sign language so bad that she didn't understand what you want? It's unlikely that the other guy would have gotten involved if you would have treated the lady at the counter better.
  18. Is that what normally happens? Please tells us from your experience in that job. Do you have any experience in or around that job?
  19. Are the investigations already finished why that crash happened? No! I have no problem if DEI politics are cancelled. But nobody should mix up that one with an arial crash for no reason. Imagine after a month they find out all pilots and flight controllers were male and white. Does that mean no white men should be hired anymore? Or would they find that one of the passengers was a trans and put the blame on that person? Trump and his stupid shooting from the hip make things just worse.
  20. That is entertaining? Really? Ok, I guess not only my gf is different, I am also different.
  21. Can you please translate this to plain English.
  22. Never underestimate the stupidity of that guy. When will he finally retire and play with his grandchildren, like he promised many many times? Or just put him in jail. Is there anybody out there who is not tired of that guy?
  23. Is it really that interesting to watch random people? Sometimes I sit with a friend somewhere and something interesting happens nearby and maybe one of us sees it and says: Look over there. And then maybe we agree she looks great or that guy is a total idiot or whatever and then we continue with our conversation. I never intentionally sat somewhere alone to watch people. Is that something exiting which I missed?
  24. I agree with the problem of lots of false information. I think most of the time we don't need accurate information on short notice. It would be good if we get them, but not tragic if we don't get them. Everything we see on the internet or TV or written somewhere is maybe correct and maybe not. This is what we should always have in mind. We read or see a plane crashed. And then we hear x people died. And the reason for the crash was x. Is all that correct? Maybe. Probably a plane crashed. Just now or some time ago? Not sure. Did rescue operations find already z dead people? Or do they just assume all are dead? And does anybody after a few hours really know why it happened? Speculation, maybe, guesses. But facts? With some things I just wait. I.e. with that plane crash in DC, let's read the news in a week or two. Then the information will be likely a lot more accurate than now. And check the news on different sources. I think the biggest giveaway for incorrect information is always when people are totally one-sided. Trump is to blame for everything. Or Trump has always good ideas. No! There is extreme seldom black and white. There is a lot of grey. And when people behave like they know everything and for them the world is black and white then we should realize that we can't trust these people. Move on! Watch or read what others say.
