  1. Anyone notice that you don't hear much from MalcolmB now?
  2. It's a different sound and also the tone is less grating. They aren't really an equivalent.
  3. While I would imagine that being in poor health or having no money is a big factor in misery, I think there's likely another big cause in grumpiness in old-age. I think some people spend their lives focussing on more physical things, and when those things go away in old-age, those people become miserable. Someone who spent much of their youth concentrating on drinking, f*cking and fighting, for example, would probably become pretty depressed once they get too old to do those things. I think someone who focusses more on things like family, friends, and helping others, can still access these things once they get older. Perhaps, though, these types might not end up living in Thailand in their old-age.
  4. How's the girl that you helped doing?
  5. It's crazy that she sees it as being either people are forced to accept them as women and allow male bodies into female spaces, or they're not welcome in society. Not a single concern for actual women.
  6. Covid is bad and scary.
  7. Failing to explain the point aka meaningless.
  8. So he's bad for applying the tariffs then he's bad for not applying the tariffs? It sounds like people are just looking for ways to pretend that Trump is bad.
  9. What about the trans mice and the Afghani Sesame Street? That's the worst of it by far!
  10. Based on the position of his legs in relation to the window, either his feet are hanging down not trying to climb, there is some sort of hole into which his feet are protruding, or he has no feet.
  11. You don't think 20% is enough? Seems like a "You're a privileged White man and you should give large amounts of money to Thais at every opportunity because you don't deserve it and they do" virtue signalling type.
  12. With the way many Thais think about foreigners, they likely just think you are rich and they deserve your money anyway.
  13. It isn't really a thing in Thailand. Plus it's much more of a thing in America. In England it's generally seen as a flat 10% regardless of service.
  14. People don't tip in Thailand. Only foreigners who think they have to because they have to back home tip in Thailand.
  15. How can they know it fell from the sky? They can only know that it fell through the roof.
  16. Mostly it's people projecting their own problems onto others or trying to compensate for their own shortcomings, trying to make themselves feel superior by putting others down. There's a lot of "rage therapy" to be had online. For some reason, Thailand attracts oddballs, and they just love to take any opportunity they can to show that they're "more Thai than you" or the one "good farang" around. being in Thailand seems to bring out a lot of insecurities in some. What I find very interesting is how so many people appear to be wealthy and successful, yet still carry around so much resentment and prejudice. It's really a wonder that with all their success they're still lacking in so many areas and still want to lash out at others.
  17. You are definitely confused. I was talking about Delta. Anything you have to say about some other variant at some other time means very little to the point I was making.
  18. You don't need medical qualifications to understand scientific/medical research that explains that the new variants are milder than the previous ones. It's really simple.
  19. As I said, I think you're confused. Delta variant didn't come to Thailand until much later.
  20. You sound confused. Follow the below link and go down to the "November-December 2020" section. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_COVID-19_pandemic_in_Thailand Thailand was basically quite chill and totally locked down for almost a year, then some Thais Brough Delta back and it ravaged the place.
  21. But you do so you are better than them? Is that what you really need to feel good about yourself, to put others down?
  22. Not everyone likes prostitutes . People often use prostitutes because they have no other choice If you're talking about older guys, it's very unlikely that even the most handsome and charming can pick up girls one third of their age. I think it's more about an increase in choice.
  23. They don't like it Western countries are typically very miserable and people are wound tightly and stick to their tribes. Young people aren't looking to speak to older people, as they simply aren't given the same respect that they are in Asia. I thought this was common knowledge.
  24. The believe that foreigners were high risk vectors of Covid was valid. It was the foreign visitor who brought the diseases to much of Thailand. This was demonstrated by the Ko Samui infections. The Europeans imported the disease, and then infected other Europeans who returned to Europe with the infection. They also infected the local hospitality staff, who fortunately stayed in Ko Samui. This model of transmission was also observed in Phuket. With Europeans infecting the other visitors brought the infection back to their homelands. And of course there were the Chinese who left a trail of infections. The disease was not homegrown and was imported. Not at all. Once the virus was in Thailand, there was zero reason to think that all foreigners have covid. You're being ridiculous. Also, both foreigners and Thais brought the virus to Thailand. The big break out of the variant that started the big spread in Thailand (I think it was Delta) was brought in by Thais coming illegally from Cambodia. You're completely wrong about everything you have written.
  25. It is not necessarily a lot milder. Rather, vaccination and previous exposure has allowed a better immune system response. No. It's milder.
