The world is changing, and some people are failing to cope with it. I feel sorry for older people who are not up to date on smart phones because they are being digitally excluded. My mother kept buying smartphones and returning them because no one was around to show her what they could do and how she could use them. Now that she knows she uses them all the time, for booking gyms, checking what’s on TV and catching up on Facebook and reading emails. If no one teaches you then you are lost. 
 

As for the ops observations, I’m afraid the genie is out of the bottle, and won’t go back. We are responsible for our own actions, not anyone else’s. The survivors adapt to changes and improvise. You don’t want to end up like a Luddite, the workers in England in 1811 who destroyed machinery in cotton and woollen mills because they thought it was threatening their jobs. Better to embrace change, and adapt to it. 
 

As the philosopher Yoda said:

” Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering”

Don’t be that angry old man.

I don't think Thailand is a safe place for high profile criminals on the wanted list. The Kinahan crime family have supposedly fled Dubai, so that might not be safe either. 

Cambodia might be a safer place to operate? Ronnie Biggs the great train robber fled to Brazil and got a woman pregnant, and he was allowed to stay. He came back when old age caught up with him and died in a care home after a spell in prison. 

A life on the run is no life at all. 

When it said water dispenser I thought it was incredibly mean to deny anyone some water. On closer inspection it is a drinks dispenser and he is helping himself to Coca Cola. So I understand the issue now. 
 

Do Thaiger use AI journalists? They seem to have bizarre headlines.

How embarrassing. If it's being reported in the Daily Mail then the follow up report will include all of their names. A bit stupid to draw attention to themselves like that over a relatively small amount of money. 

They'll be forever known in Bristol as the Ladyboy Shagger Team. 

I'd head for Nimman Road for some decent cafes and restaurants. I'm pretty sure you'll find health/massage places there too. Across the road is the Maya Mall, has some great shops, food areas and a cinema. My favourite haunt when in Chiang Mai.

It’s true that some people abuse the Trustpilot system but taking someone to Court defeats the purpose. They might save face but they also garner much wider publicity worldwide … as a place to avoid. 

It doesn't cost £337 million pounds to understand that the annual burning of farm and related waste is not promoting better outcomes in the fields of healthy people, animals and plants, as well as the Earth in general. Stop doing that, and save £337 million wasted on a bunch of academic scientists selling hats to each other.

Looking at the pic “Anna” may hold the clues

The pic is hard to tell? It looks like two guys? So you think Anna is Thai? 

How did they buy land and build a home, when they are both foreigners?

What the fck is that supposed to mean, are you threatening me?

Don’t be stupid. The truth about Trump will come out eventually, let’s hope you live long enough to read about it. It will probably be after he dies, so hopefully soon.

He has not been convicted of any criminal offence, so he's not a criminal and he has never, with serious intentions, said that he "wants to turn the US into a dictatorship".

Are you kidding me? You know nothing about Trump. He’s been involved in criminality his entire career, and his Russia ties go back to the 1980’s. That’s both Russian mafia and government ties, no surprise because they are different legs of the same Octopus. He has money and powerful contacts, very useful at keeping you out of jail. His mentor was a guy named Roy Cohn, a mafia lawyer and blackmailer. 
 

You might want to do a bit of reading Lou. Behind the “tell it like it is showman” is one nasty vile criminal and traitor. I hope you live long enough to find that truth for yourself. 

We have a new candidate for the 2024 Darwin Award.

Historians rank Trump as worst president

How could they not.

If Trump pointed out this poll to the crowds on his campaign tour, he’d tell them all it was another example of what a “winner” he is!
 

And the worst thing is that the “We are Q” banner holding inbreds would lap it up. This is America. 

I noticed that the number of storms hitting the UK this winter were noticeably higher. Every country is experiencing weird weather systems. If periods of intense heat become normal for Thailand it will reduce expat and tourism numbers. Coupled with the pollution the place will be unpleasant to live in. 

In a Russia poll Trump would be number one … because he’s just like one of them. A corrupt criminal who wants to turn the US into a dictatorship. 

Another poorly written article. The victim sought help from her brother? She did this after using the fire to burn through the rope around her wrist? Luckily she has fireproof wrists … don’t we all.

So what was her brother doing? Was he tied up also? Or was he standing back, smoking a cigarette, as his sister burns in a field? 
 

A mystery, wrapped in an enigma. 

Many times in schools, but gave that up as an adult. 
 

Those involved in self defence and close protection try to avoid any confrontation, for good reason. Even if you are defending yourself if you hit or shove someone and they crack their head on the pavement, they could die, and you are in a whole world of trouble. All the self defence training in the world can’t protect you from a knife wound, so although it can help it is no guarantee. 
 

I would focus on confrontation avoidance. If a place doesn’t feel right, get away fast. You don’t want to be the toughest guy in the graveyard.
