Iran is winning and will likely win the war against the USA
I am amazed that so many people only see the world in black and white. Like, if you think "this" is bad, then you surely think "that" is good. In this forum, we especially see it quite a lot from the right wing people. Why can't you understand that two things can be bad at the same time, be it Trump and Iran or Israel and Hamas? In this thread, the OP clearly starts with a paragraph that says he does not like Iran winning: "It certainly doesn't please me to realize this dark reality." Yet, because he believes that Iran is winning, you immediately conclude that he must be against the USA.

New rules issued for visa extensions and visa-exempt entries
You need a ticket out from Thailand to get the SETV. You don't have to use the ticket, you stay in Thailand and hopefully get your retirement visa. Actually, you may be able to get the SETV with a train or bus ticket out of Thailand to a neighbouring country, which is even cheaper. You may try that solution first and if the embassy demands a to see a flight ticket, you can buy a cheap one way ticket to Saigon or another nearby country.

SAMSUNG LED TV repair
I got the same problem with my Samsung. I got it fixed once on the guarantee, and then the same row of backlights at the top of the screen went dark again a year later - after the warrantee expired. Perhaps a solution if you want to wait buying a new one like me: On my TV the problem only arise when I use bright light settings, if I use maximum energy savings everything is fine. Been doing that for more than a year now. However, that is only a solution if you have blackout curtains or only watch TV after sunset.

Danish PM Calls Snap Election Amid Greenland Tensions
The election was not triggered by the Greenland tension, it was due this year anyway; she simply chose a time which she believe is better for her - as is usual for elections in Denmark. Regarding Trump's dream, I don't think it matters who win the election. The parties are on the same level: It is up to the Greenlanders, and the Greenlanders is overwhelmingly against a takeover by Trump.

I believe most of those reports are from when the DTV was new. Today, they all give two years on the DTV - bar perhaps some transport offices on the outskirts of civilisation 🫣- Obtaining Driving Licence Phuket
Renewal does not automatically result in a 5 year license; it depend on ones visa. A tourist visa and the DTV only gives you a renewal for two years from the date it is issued ☹️- Obtaining Driving Licence Phuket
You don't know your birthday? 😄 By the way, the two year one does not expire on ones birthday but two years after it is issued.- Colbert Sticks it to MAGA/CBS/Weiss; Another Trumpian “Own Goal”
... indicated ... signaling ... may not ... That is not the same as a new rule set; however, it was enough to make the CBS lawyers prevent Colbert from airing the interview for fear of retribution in other cases where they need the FCC approval. Yes, Colbert could perhaps have agreed to invite other politicians at another time, but why should he as up until now the late-night shows have been exempt from the equal representation rule.- Colbert Sticks it to MAGA/CBS/Weiss; Another Trumpian “Own Goal”
OK, so now, you appear to have learned that Colbert did not claim that the FCC stopped him from having James Talarico on the show. Next, we need you to understand that there is no standing rule about equal time (yet) for late night talk shows. Baby steps, baby steps. One day, you may even admit that you were wrong.- Colbert Sticks it to MAGA/CBS/Weiss; Another Trumpian “Own Goal”
Colbert did not claim that the administration directly told CBS not to air the interview. He blamed the CBS lawyers for adhering to a law that does not exist, yet. The FCC had made clear what they wanted despite the law as it is at the moment. It is no secret why the lawyers at CBS didn't want to go against the FCC chairman's wishes; they have other business that depend of what the FCC decides.- Colbert Sticks it to MAGA/CBS/Weiss; Another Trumpian “Own Goal”
The rules has not changed, yet. That is a fact! You are welcome to present proof of a change. CBS may have other reasons to be afraid of what the FCC might do or not do; not regarding the 50/50 rule but regarding other things where they have the right of determination.- Colbert Sticks it to MAGA/CBS/Weiss; Another Trumpian “Own Goal”
That is fine for the news, Colbert (and the radio shows) is entertainment, not news. That is the reason they at the moment are exempted from the 50/50 rule. Like you (and Fox News) did during Biden's presidency? I have no idea what you are talking about, but I have a feeling that you are deflecting.- Colbert Sticks it to MAGA/CBS/Weiss; Another Trumpian “Own Goal”
Does that go for radio shows too? For some strange reason, the FCC has no plan of changing the rules for radio shows.- Colbert Sticks it to MAGA/CBS/Weiss; Another Trumpian “Own Goal”
So that means it is fine to silence him despite the first amendment?- Colbert Sticks it to MAGA/CBS/Weiss; Another Trumpian “Own Goal”
Talking about facts: That rule does not apply to late night talk shows. FCC has said they want to change that, but they haven't done that yet.- Obtaining Driving Licence Phuket
That sounds nice; three years ago the waiting time was almost two months, last year it was down to about a month. I hope they keep it up with no waiting time till next time I have to renew. What were you in for, renewal, new licence based on a foreign license or a new licence with driving tests etc.? I don't know why you mention Facebook, I wouldn't dream of using help to get a license.- Worst Joke Ever 2026
I am sure P. Diddy will insist that the correct word is "that".- Tell me again there is no inflation in Thailand
Even the OP is disproving the OP by posting a photo of the meal at a cheaper price in a Big C food court.- Tell me again there is no inflation in Thailand
You are comparing apples and oranges. I am sure you could find a similar meal for several 100 baht in a high end restaurant.- Has anyone managed to file the FIRST 90 day report online?
I did my very first 90 report online in December 2024 in Phuket. Last year, after having been abroad, I was told to come in person. - Obtaining Driving Licence Phuket
