There's probably more of a chance of a westerner's body falling on you from a condo than getting your drink spiked with coke and heroin

Yeah... Ya can't fix stupid

This toothpaste was codenamed 'Darkie' https://ids.si.edu/ids/deliveryService?id=NMAH-AHB2012q12585&max=800

I don't know about you guys, but this is the funniest thing I've read all day

Without a dark side, how can there be a bright side? Enjoy either as required... sheeesh

They should also warn about the sites charging for the Thailand Digital Arrival Card

What a non-story about a cheap POS and overpriced clinky fashion watch made in China worth next to nothing

Yeah, the Pimp is an Asian style nightclub with choreographed sexy dancing and shows where you pay the girls to sit with you and buy them super expensive drinks with no guarantee of getting them out for a short time like in the other red-light centers. The original owner is from the US, as far as I remember, which I thought a bit strange given the style of the club... not sure if ownership or style has changed since early days

I came to Thailand to get away from toxic western women... Got a great job and stayed for seven years. Finally after all my shenanigans, I met my lovely wife... We moved to Australia for work, and now together 14 years and going great... Will retire back to Thailand in less than 5 years now. I can't imagine how my life would be if I hadn't made that move, but I doubt it would be satisfactory!

Scientific Reality: 1. Long COVID is caused by COVID-19 infection, not the vaccine Multiple peer-reviewed studies confirm that long COVID — persistent fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, etc. — is primarily seen after SARS-CoV-2 infection, not from vaccination. The risk of developing long COVID is significantly lower in vaccinated individuals compared to unvaccinated (Nature Medicine, 2022). 2. Vaccines reduce long COVID risk A large study of over 33 million people in the U.K. showed that people who were vaccinated and then infected had a 41–57% reduced risk of long COVID versus the unvaccinated (BMJ, 2022). 3. Post-vaccine symptoms ≠ long COVID Some people experience post-vaccine syndromes (e.g., fatigue, dizziness, joint pain) — but these are: Rare Usually short-term Distinct from virologically confirmed long COVID Very few documented cases suggest ongoing symptoms post-vaccine, and causality is hard to prove. 4. Single anecdotes ≠ general truth Saying “the vaccine took years off his life” is a subjective interpretation, not a medical diagnosis or epidemiological finding. Many people with long COVID recover, even if slowly. It's premature and inaccurate to say his lifespan has been shortened. ✅ Bottom Line: Vaccines prevent long COVID, they don’t cause it. Your friend's symptoms may be real, but attributing them definitively to the vaccine without rigorous diagnosis and exclusion of infection is medically unsound. If anything, his symptoms may stem from a missed or asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, not the vaccine. If he’s suffering, he should seek proper medical evaluation and consider specialist care (e.g., long COVID clinics), but this does not constitute evidence against mRNA vaccines.

And they're always an expert!

Here’s info I retrieved retrieved via AI into the safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, covering everything from global data to rare adverse events and long-term outcomes: 1. Mass Safety Surveillance In the first six months of the U.S. vaccination program, over 298 million doses administered—mostly mild, short-lived side effects; serious events were extremely rare A cohort of 6.2 million people receiving nearly 12 million doses showed no significant increase in 23 serious health outcomes (like stroke or heart attack) within 21 days post-vaccine 2. Regulatory Warnings & Myocarditis Data The FDA updated labels (June 25, 2025) for Pfizer’s and Moderna’s vaccines, adding myocarditis/pericarditis warnings: ~8 cases per million doses overall (ages 6–64), ~27 per million in males aged 12–24 Global cohort of 99 million finds rare signals for myocarditis/pericarditis, transverse myelitis, and ADEM after mRNA vaccines 3. Clinical Insights & Long-Term Outcomes Systematic reviews confirm myocarditis risk is real but rare, especially in young males, typically mild and resolving French follow-up of 558 myocarditis cases found hospital stays (~4 days), generally short recovery, no major long-term harm 4. Rare Neurological Events Some studies have noted extremely rare associations with Guillain‑Barré syndrome, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis—mostly tied to viral‑vector vaccines, but also flagged post-mRNA 5. Risk vs Benefit Serious vaccine-related adverse events occur in < 0.1% of cases Public health authorities (CDC, FDA, WHO) maintain that benefits far outweigh risks, preventing hospitalizations and saving millions of lives . 6. Misinformation & Political Context Political opposition in parts of the U.S. is influencing public perception and funding for mRNA research—despite clear scientific consensus on safety One petition (Hope Accord) alleged higher harm rates, but mainstream health authorities reject these claims, backing mRNA vaccines' safety and efficacy ✅ Final Assessment mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are not deadly. The predominant side effects are temporary and mild. Rare adverse events (myocarditis, pericarditis, very rarely neurological issues) occur at low rates—usually mild and treatable. Extensive data from millions of doses and global surveillance support their high safety profile. If you have specific health concerns or conditions, consult your doctor. But from a population-level, scientific perspective: the vaccines are overwhelmingly safe and lifesaving.
