At this point even the lawmakers need a doctor to explain the law.

So it’s a weed shop today, a clinic tomorrow, and a 7-Eleven by Songkran?

Is it also why you post senseless threads? because you have nothing better to do? I guess you're living in Nakhon Nowhere.

They really like to complicate things for absolutely no reason. And it always ends up the same: confused people everywhere.

To be fair, before Prayut takeover in 2014, all the clubs & bars (at least in CNX) were closing around 5am. And there wasn't much change to road deaths.

Problem in Thailand is they are taught what to think, not how to think.

Just wrapped up a long day of work and what do I see? Anutin just became the 32nd PM of Thailand! 🎉 I’m celebrating the only way that feels right, sparking up a nice joint. What a beautiful day for us fans of this harmless little plant. Congrats, Anutin! I can already hear the grumpy crowd warming up 😂

Well, if he promised then it must be true, right? Everyone can relax now, go ahead and sleep soundly, because if Thaksin said he’ll be there on the 8th at 8 AM, he will. Guy's a man of his words.

Sometime (often) there's just no logic. You just gotta laugh at it. They like to overcomplicate things for absolutely nothing thinking it will make them look ''progressive & smart'' in the eyes of the world. Then a few weeks after, everyone's confused. It's always the same thing over and over again.

Your sh*t stinks just like ours. Stop thinking you're above everyone. You ain't anything special sweetie.

He has no clue, just spouting nonsense.

I’ve been playing poker for a living since the early 2010s, so seeing the game recognized on this level is genuinely refreshing. Even though poker doesn’t rely on physical conditioning, it absolutely qualifies as a psychological sport in my eyes. The level of focus and discipline required to make consistently good decisions over hundreds of thousands of hands can be just as demanding as any traditional competitive arena. There’s so much more to this game than just “playing cards.” You have to build solid opening ranges, refine your 3-bet and 4-bet strategies, and balance your frequencies, etc.... then in tournaments, you have the ICM pressure as you approach final tables forces you to adjust pushing and calling ranges dynamically, taking stack sizes and payout structures into account on every decision. It’s a constant balance between maximizing chip EV and preserving your tournament life. Beyond that, the amount of study that goes into staying competitive today is massive. Reviewing HHs, analyzing spots with solvers, studying population tendencies, running ICM sims, it’s all part of the routine. Even after years in the game, I still see leaks pop up in my strategy that need patching. The meta evolves, the pools adjust, and you have to keep adapting if you want to survive in a tough ecosystem. On top of the technical side, there’s the mental side that people underestimate. Long hours, brutal downswings, variance stretching your patience and bankroll management skills, it takes real mental fortitude to keep showing up and executing a solid strategy. Tilt control, emotional regulation, and maintaining focus deep into 12-hour days are as important as knowing your preflop charts. So yeah, for me, poker has always been a mental sport in every sense of the word. It tests your decision-making under extreme uncertainty, your discipline, your adaptability, and your resilience — all while you’re chasing the tiniest edges over massive samples. I’m glad to see more recognition for what really goes on at the tables.

Not sure what you're meaning.

I’m really sorry for your loss. May your father rest in peace. My own father was actually terrified of needles, he couldn’t even stand being near me when I got vaccinated as a kid. I think that fear played a big role in him avoiding the hospital for over 10, maybe even 15 years. Interestingly, my maternal grandfather went through something similar. He did go to the hospital in time, and they found that two of his arteries were blocked. They performed a procedure (I believe it was angioplasty), and it worked. That was back in 2002, and he lived all the way until 2020 where he passed at 83. You're absolutely right: a lot of it does come down to genetics. That same grandfather was a heavy drinker for over 25 years, and somehow still made it into his 80s. Some people live pretty unhealthy lives and still reach old age, while others take care of themselves and sadly don’t make it. Genes definitely play a big role, but they’re still just one part of the story.

My father passed away the exact same way at 63 -- sudden cardiac arrest. He was in good shape, never touched steroids, and stayed active. One day, he simply collapsed after coming back from running a quick errand. No warning signs, no obvious symptoms. A lot of people are walking around with undiagnosed heart conditions, and they have no idea. That’s why I strongly recommend everyone, especially past a certain age, to get screened. An ECG, EKG, stress test, blood work… the whole nine yards. In my father's case, all his arteries were completely blocked, but he had no clue. If he had just gone for a check-up earlier, they would’ve caught it—and he might still be here today. Please don’t take heart health lightly. Looking fit on the outside doesn’t always mean you’re okay on the inside.
