I think it's great when the cute girls don't understand English. Because then all those people who only want to talk English leave her alone. And I will talk Thai with her. Win/win/win. ????

Lots of people use the same username on many sites. And some people even use the same passwords. I remember there is somewhere a search page where you can enter a name like thaibeachlover and it would search hundreds of places if that username is used. Maybe some local forum, maybe some political forum, maybe some hobby site, all the information adds up. Personally, I don't post too many personal information. But things like my job, interests, region where I live, motorcycles, etc. add up and I am sure if someone would really try it would be possible to find me just with the information on this forum.

If you are near 80 or over
OneMoreFarang replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Long time ago I knew a (super rich) guy who had terminal cancer. He was maybe 40 years old, and the doctors gave him max 6 months more to live. Obviously, nobody is happy if they are told that their life will end soon. But it seems to focus peoples' minds. What do you do now if you know it's all over in a few months? I don't know how much of that happens to people when they are 80 or older. But I think it's an interesting phenomenon. P.S.: He lived about 10 more years ... -
I don't know which is worse. But it seems clear to me that on both sides the extremists try to bring more people from the center to the edges. And the language and accusations on both sides get worse all the time. Most of the time I read news in the Guardian. They are on the left. And sometimes they call people who are slightly right leaning "radical rightwing". On the other hand, in my YouTube feed are often videos from conservatives (especially anti woke). And what do they do? They pretend everybody left of center is radical left and crazy woke. Personally I don't like the radical left and I don't like the radical right. Both are bad. Is there still a center? When the left calls you rightwing and the right call you leftwing what are you? It must be hard for "normal", not radical people, to live in such environments like US universities. It seems to me this is not yet a problem in Thailand. But it certainly is a problem especially in northern America. And it seems to get worse. In a way it is funny to see them fight each other. But obviously what the USA does has lots of consequences for the rest of the world. Somehow it seems to me the situation is getting worse...

For the last two decades nobody ever asked for my passport in Thailand on the street or in any bar, restaurant, etc. I only bring my passport if I go to something official or, in very rare cases, some office building security want to see a passport to allow entry. But those are definitely not the rule but the rare exception.

Please try to do something good in Africa. That continent is big enough that you should find your place over there, stay there, and I am sure they have also an English language forum. About myself: I am a computer specialist. I made enough money back home. I came to Thailand for all the pretty girls and the nice weather and all that. And, believe it or not, I started learning the Thai language, including reading and writing, before I moved to Thailand. I live in the middle of Bangkok, I don't like up country. And about the girls? Cute brown Buriram girls are perfect. I like them, and a few others. But what's the point of marrying them?

Polarization is definitely a big issue. And it seems radicals on the left and on the right do their very best to make the polarization worse. There was a time when many people had different opinion on different issues. I.e. someone could call himself conservative and at the same time support the right for abortion. And people had different opinions about climate change, electric cars, medical support, and many other issues. Now people in the middle are attacked from left and right because they don't want to support the left in all issues or the right in all issues. Sad!

Is there anything you could do at home without flying to a country far away? At home you also share the culture with the other people over there. Understanding each other is much easier. Do something for your community. Become a local leader. Inspire people. Or do you just need a reason to fly to a country far away with beautiful girls? Look at me, I am an activist. 555!

“Nakhai” wins Miss Grand Chonburi 2023 crown
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
That doesn't really work. When I see a picture of my favorite dancer then that will bring up lots of exiting memories. When I see a picture of your favorite dancer then maybe I think she could be fun. But that's about it. No personal memories. And when I see a picture of your favorite dancer and she is also one of my favorites now then it becomes complicated... ???? -
Interesting. Now let's say I think gay people all over the world should be free to make love to their gay partners. But it is not important enough for me to fight for them or support them with more than a sentence like that. Does that mean I belong to the filth category? And is everybody who does not support the rights from everybody "filth"?

Yes! Let's take the football players, just as one example. When they go back to their home countries and have dinner with their friends, how many of them do you think will bring up the rights of the gay people in Qatar? How many will discuss with their friends what they can actively do to support those people? Like: Let's donate money to that xyz organization over there. I met [insert name] and we should really support him. How many of these virtue-signaling players will even spend 10 minutes of their time to actually do something - when no camera is there to see it? Obviously I/we will never really know. But I would be very surprised if that is really an issue for even 10% of the people who now pretend it is important.

How many people do care? How many of the do-gooders have any connection to any gay people over there? How many donated anything to these people who they pretend to support? How many do anything, even a tiny little bit, except wearing some band or shirt and posting images of themselves with those "look, I do something" items? At least I don't pretend that I care about lots of things which I really don't care about.

No, just a picture from the internet. I keep the other pictures private and confidential. ????
