Fire Blaze Erupts at Chiang Mai’s Dhara Dhevi Hotel
impulse replied to Georgealbert's topic in Chiang Mai News
That's sad. And a little suspicious. Looks like another victim of Covid policy. Not Covid. The policy. -
Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends
impulse replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The sad reality is that many people have gotten so thin skinned that it's impossible to interact with them and not trigger them. Then add in language and cultural issues from traveling overseas. Fortunately, I was called a dumb Polack so many times growing up (by friends and family) that I'm pretty much immune. And I'm not even Polish, though my name sounds like it. -
Closer to today... Team Biden dumped a few $trillion on the Inflation Assurance Act and look how that worked out.

California Mayor Sparks Outrage wants to ‘purge’ homeless population
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Funny. I don't recall the passage in the Bible where Jesus advocated getting on the dole. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 Context: For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat." -

That's sure a lot of words. I agree with Candace Owens. Life's tough. Get a helmet man. -
California Mayor Sparks Outrage wants to ‘purge’ homeless population

I've been to Lancaster several times as my college roommate lived there, working for the Corp of Engineers at Edwards AFB. That was the '90s and it looked pretty desolate out in the middle of the desert. But if you're going to be homeless... No rain and rarely freezing. I take the mayor at his word that they're being inundated with newly released convicts now making up about half of their homeless. I don't know how California does it, but in Houston, they drop the released inmates at the Houston bus station with (I think) $25 in their pocket. My sister's house is a few blocks away and there's always homeless people milling around begging for money. It's a big problem in her otherwise great (and spendy) neighborhood. So yes, I wouldn't blame the guy if he was sick of it. But I don't claim to know the solution. -

Or maybe they're just not destitute Cheap Charlies who whine about getting cheated out of 5 baht by the Baht Buses. -
You mean that legislation that codified and normalized up to 5000 illegals a day before anyone was allowed to act?

You're aware that she gets Secret Service protection... The same Secret Service that's been excoriated for DEI after multiple failures last year. -
When I talk about the new LGBTQCOD+ trends with my gay friends, they're even more disgusted than I am. It's giving them a bad name. Living the life is fine. Prancing around in cosplay, not so great.

Trump's Tariff Tax Folly Making American Food BLAND again

So instead of Orange Man Bad, it'll be No Orange Chicken on the buffet? Give it a rest. -
Perhaps they're objecting to the fact that there are around 200 days marked on the calendar now to honor LGBT centric themes. With more added every year or so. They're feeling left out.

More lefty outrage over a joke. In poor taste, but just a joke. Edit: BTW, I am a believer in the restricted bloodflow to the brain theory of neckties. Parris has previously stirred controversy, including his 2018 call to ban neckties in the workplace for health reasons. -
Look at who funds the drug studies coming out of universities nowadays. About 3/4 funded by Big Pharma. Edit: And even those funded by gub'ment, the authors know to toe the line or they won't get the next Big Pharma contract. University research has become a money machine. Not to advance science, but to get the next $$$ contract.

Maybe not. She could be wondering if he's carrying it around in a paper bag. You know, to feed the ducks.
