News of George Floyd’s victim might get a pardon, creates shock waves…
impulse replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
There you go claiming racism again After 6 decades of affirmative action, DEI, reverse discrimination and demands for $$ bajillions in reparations, a little pro-white would be a welcome respite. No lunacy at all. Had a white guy died with Floyd's toxicology report, they'd have called it an overdose death. And they'd have been correct. -
GLAAD Condemns Social Media Giants for Failing LGBTQ Communities
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
What ever happened to "Sticks and Stones"? We're raising another generation of wimps and snowflakes, totally incapable of thriving in the real world, where not everyone spends 90% of their conscious energy trying not to offend anyone. As if that's even possible any more. -

I wonder if they'll go for a new record? And for the lefty that will no doubt report me for an unattributed post: https://majorcitieschiefs.com/ Final Report of the MCCA Police Reform Working Group -

Do you guys feel good about this ,the reporter says to ICE agents as…
impulse replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
What I get a kick out of is all the same guys advocating Thailand deport all the overstayers, begpackers and Russkies turning around and ragging on Trump for getting rid of gangbangers and benefit thieves from the USA. Let me ask it this way... Are overstayers in Thailand nervous? Why shouldn't they be? -
Immigration Thailand Digital Arrival Card. TDAC
impulse replied to CharlieH's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I've been doing it once a month for just over 2 years with no end in sight, so I take a keen interest. And I appreciate anyone who points out where I may be wrong. Sometimes, I'm just spitballing in the hope that someone that knows better will straighten me out. That's one of the ways I learn. But I try to make it clear that I'm spitballing and not offering definitive info. Sometimes, I fail. -
Immigration Thailand Digital Arrival Card. TDAC
impulse replied to CharlieH's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It's probably that simple, but there are 2 things that make me wonder... 1) What if the info on the TDAC is incorrect, whether by error or by mischief? It would be a trivial database exercise to figure that out if they have access to the flight manifests and a database guru that can do it while the plane's in the air. But do they? I know the skills are available in Thailand, but does immigration have them? 2) The LED signs above the IO stations request passport, DTAC and boarding pass. I just do what the signs say and life is easier. Seems like they'd want to confirm that all the data matches and there were no errors or omissions. -

Had Floyd been white, they'd have called it a death by overdose. Because that's what it was. And a lot of people would have been incensed, but nothing would have been burned down. -

I would mention that all of the IOs last night were female, but that would probably get me in trouble in some circles. It was true, though. They did have one really tall dude who was walking between the stations to solve problems. -

That may be true, but the IOs were diligently scrolling through people's smartphone screens. Though I guess they may have been looking for boarding pass information and not the DTAC. Not sure whether virtual boarding passes are available for international flights because I've always had a paper boarding pass. -

It does get hairy right at the front. My suggestion is to watch while you're in the snaky part of the queue because some of the IOs are much faster than others. Then get in their queue at the front. -

Unfortunate, but I remember 2 hour queues before Covid. They've improved a lot, also at the taxi stand. What a difference! I got through just as my bag got dumped on the luggage carousel. So, perfect timing... -

Came in last night with no problems. (and no QR, just a sheet printed with my passport #, DTAC number and date of arrival) But they were sending around 1 in 3 or 4 travelers back to get their DTAC in order when it was their turn in the queue. Most of the arrivals had their data on their smartphone screen- no paper and that was fine. Some had nuthin'. That wasn't fine. Though the queue was short just after midnight, it was very slow. Looks like they're still dialing it in. I'd have hated to arrive at peak time. The DTAC machines in the foyer on the way to immigrations had no queue at all, but they were off to the left and not very clearly marked, (around where the VOA's were issued). -
I'd give just about anything to go back and undo my 2nd Pfizer. I still haven't recovered my balance or full feeling on the left side of my face, and probably never will. So I'd have to be an idiot to get another.
