Pope Francis Allegedly Uses Derogatory Term for Gay People
Couldn't care less what Frank says or thinks. Same old fool who says a dead 15 y.o. performed 2 "miracles".🤣 The first fantasy was attributed to the dead kids T-shirt❗Gimme an effin' break. https://boingboing.net/2024/05/29/15-year-old-to-become-first-millennial-saint-after-his-t-shirt-cures-boy.html

Poll/Survey: Expat Tax Residency Status
It's your first paragraph above that's incorrect. Please read the 2nd and 3rd sentences of my post which you quoted. Those exact words...earned interest...were already stated. Here, I'll make it easy and do it for you... In the closing statement of my post, since it had already been established that it was earned interest income to which was being referred...didn't feel the need for extraneous redundancy. Guess I was wrong about that.

USA Passport Renewal By Post report
Don't know. Give it a whirl. My assumption is that the postal workers will have zero clue about which you are asking or wanting to do. Pretty much like every other inquiry directed at a Thai employee at every other store or business. 🤣 The OTP was sent by sms (text msg) and just entered it on the verification popup. It's ridiculous tho because I charge B10,000-100,000 elsewhere here and it goes right thru without the need of a OTP, but for this measley B100...haha. Good luck

USA Passport Renewal By Post report
US credit card. Capital One MasterCard. Though had to verify with an SMS one-time-password sent to my US phone for this pittance. Fortunately have maintained my US phone number all these years for exactly this reason.

Man fatally stabs friend to death over 20 baht in Chon Buri
Never seen Thais disciplining children in nearly 30 years here. And the boys especially get the royal treatment...are spoiled, always get their way and get away with anything/everything. Upbringing a real problem here, among many other factors. Too many too young, unfit, unable, unprepared, incapable and dirt poor allowed to have offspring when terminating the pregnancy is the best option. This is true in every country, not only here.

Can'T use Banking QR code to pay for things after midnight.
Should always have a minimum amount of cash on hand, not less than what one expects to spend...then double it. Tech is awesome...until it isn't. Be prepared for any and all at all times.

Low birth rate.
EXCELLENT...Great news❗The fewer humans in the universe, the better. MUCH better. Earth is overcrowded already with fewer resources to sustain current populations. Sterilization and abortion should be required in many situations. 🤣

Apology from Pattaya Pub Guards after Assault on Tourists
WRONG❗Tagged you in a new thread, just out. Read it and weep. FYI...I bash the USA too. And other countries...not only Thailand. Tho abundance of ammo bash-worthy here 🤣 and I'm here 24/7/365. Sometimes bashing is necessary. And oftentimes cultures need changing, upgrading and evolving. Sadly the USA has steadily been in (further) decline and devolving since 2016 for a very obvious, harmful and dangerous reason. Now if you want to experience my serious bashing side...check into my political and religion criticizing posts❗
