A stark reminder of Thai "hospitality"
This isn't any place in the world, this is Thailand and it seems you made someone in 7-11 loose face. Most likely the 1st girl didn't understand you and just said "yes", like what is done so many times in Thailand,

Will Thailand echo USA's growing problem of Cannabis Use Disorder?
Also, a study shows that US states that have legalized cannabis either fully or medicinally revealed that opioid use went down. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/access-to-medical-marijuana-reduces-opioid-prescriptions-2018050914509 https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2022/04/recreational-marijuana-access-reduces-demand-prescription-drugs

North Korea says it has simulated a nuclear missile attack to warn US of ‘nuclear war danger’
The US and S Korea have been conducting war games since the end of the Korean conflict (1953). Trump did down size the drills but they were never stopped. My question is why do you think North Korea is in the right? N Korea is the one that is always making threats.

Border Run: do we really have to make it all the way to Laos?
Thailand's not making anyone do boarder runs. Most visitors to Thailand will never do a boarder run.

Thailand shakes up golden visa scheme, hikes prices by up to 500 per cent
You dont get it... people using the TE visa aren't tourist going in and out of the airport all the time, they get the visa to live full time in Thailand. Anyone that is constantly going in and out of Thailand doesn't need this visa.

Work Permit now possible with retirement extension
A B visa and a Work permit dont go together they are two separate things and need to be applied. I had a B visa for 2 years before moving to Thailand and didn't have a work permit as I was only coming for meetings.

How can I get a Thai Credit card or do I need it?
I use a credit card all the time. I pay it off monthly so no fees and I get cash back. I also have protection against fraud with my credit card. Using a debit card online is risky if it get compromised.

Thailand Law and Order Non-Existent?

Despite Being Blasted, Chuwit Insists Thaksin Not Returning On Aug. 10
umm...he didn't run, he was in New York for a UN meeting when the military preformed a coup. I'm not a big fan of the guy, but no need to make false claims. I do admit that when he was PM things were good, our business was booming. He did some good things for the people too, but he's corrupt just like the rest of the them.

Immigration jail, What's it like?
What are you talking about??? IDC to pay a 90 day late reporting fee?? 20 years ago immigration could care less if you overstayed, especially 1 day, maybe a fee , no IDC time or bans. Back in the 90's I came to Thailand regularly for work and always had delays. Never had an issue overstaying 1-2 days, IO would laugh about it. as for overstaying they didn't really get serious on that until about 10-15 years ago.

Police Prepare For Nationwide Protests, Parliament Heavily Guarded
What your failing to understand is they dont care what the people want or need, they only care about keeping power. Why do you keep bringing up hope that their families are abused. Do you believe a child should suffer due to the actions of his father?

Yes, Alcohol is completely banned in Saudi Arabia. If caught with alcohol as a foreign national (If a Saudi citizen you could get away with it) you could get lashes, a prison sentence or possibly deported, but not executed.
