‘Wife for hire’: Inside Thailand’s shocking rental marriage trend
impulse replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Where do you get your condescending clueless attitude? There's nothing desperate or questionable in any way about being practical and filling a need quickly and expeditiously with no baggage and no real commitments beyond what is required. Would a woman who could be making a decent wage at an office job be doing it, in preference? -
In her heyday, Twiggy weighed 41 kg. I'd have tapped that. Lizzo at 153kg? Nope. Not even with your winkie. Edit: BTW, if you don't want to see videos of yourself doing stupid stuff in public, don't do stupid stuff in public. If he did do upskirts (doubtful) or filmed them in private spaces, keep him in jail.

Speaking of wild exaggerations, which one sounds like a reasonable plan, and which one sounds like a lefty fantasy?: 1) Secede from the USA and join Canada 2) Sell your stuff, take the proceeds and go across the border and buy some real estate in Canada. Don't bother going back until 2036 when Trump and Vance are no longer in office... ('Muricans can actually buy Canadian real estate on EBay).

Phuket Authorities Crack Down on Unlicensed Jet Skis
impulse replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
In a significant move towards enhancing maritime safety, police in Phuket confiscated six unlicensed jet skis during an impactful raid at Cape Yamu, Pa Khlok, Thalang. Did I miss something? -
No one should EVER receive a pardon except obviously innocent. Everyone, including the ruling elite, should be subject to the laws of the nation. In an ideal world, I'd agree with you. I'd also hope that voters wouldn't have elected such a vulnerable candidate had they known the laptop was real. Once he was inaugurated, national security should have taken precedence, and he should have eliminated all the potential conflicts by pardoning Hunter. That way, there would have been no risk he'd be compromised in any negotiation.

Biden should have pardoned Hunter on day one of his term, just to reduce the appearance of sitting across the negotiating table from adversarial world leaders that may have had evidence that could put his kid away for a loooong time. It would have hurt him at the polls in 2024, but it would have been the right thing to do for national security. And 2024 took care of itself anyway. BTW, I say that, not as a fan of Hunter or his antics. But national security (and world peace) are bigger than one addict's penance.

Drink deep, my brothers, of the delicious tears of the deluded left!
impulse replied to Hanaguma's topic in Political Soapbox
If there was any justice in the world, lefty tears would be declared toxic and they'd all be fined for pollution. -
Farang groceries delivery in Chiang Mai (or lack thereof).
impulse replied to Old Curmudgeon's topic in Chiang Mai
But aren't you giving away half of the food for the service? -
The hypocrisy is that if you did meet someone who looked like Eleanor Roosevelt, you wouldn't give her the time of day. The hotties that would grab your attention can be as flighty as they want. It will serve them in the immediate gratification realm, but not in the long term. I wouldn't want my kids to Google their mom and find an OnlyFans page. The Wayback machine is forever, and it's brutal.

Trump Plans new Tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Had Harris been elected and Mexico showed any genuine interest in slowing it down, they'd be flying them in directly from south of the Darien Gap on chartered flights. Not to mention, Mexico didn't have a genuine interest in slowing down the flow of money for the cartels and money from future remittances. She was just hedging against a Trump win, and the threat of tariffs. -
One big difference, of course, is the percentage who were apprehended and then released into the country after pinkie swearing they'd show up for their asylum case in a few years. The other difference is the number who weren't even apprehended. They just snuck in between border checkpoints, and nobody bothered to stop them, only to parole them into the country.

We had an amazing team of competent Thai people working for our company in Bangkok and Songkhla. International oil company. Admittedly, we paid them well. (Edit: But still a tiny fraction of what we'd have to pay "back home" for the same jobs and performance). If you can't find good ones, you may want to ask yourself why. Of course, we'd get an occasional dud, but they didn't last long. The competent Thai people didn't let them drag down the team.

Musk & Ramaswamy Unveil Detailed Plan for Federal Workforce Cuts
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Sure, Give the work to Boeing or Raytheon. We'll pay twice as much, it'll take twice as long, and in the end the project won't perform half of what they promised. But they're in good with the Pentagon...
