Yes. Perhaps, "testing yourself to see what you are capable of" is a better summation, although that probably won't sell as well.

I don't think people really "find themselves". I think it's more that they find something external that maybe answers some questions or reveals something about life that they previously hadn't realised or understood. Possibly some experience simply changes how they think and view the world. There's a reason that "finding yourself" often involves travelling to a far away and unusual land, interacting with people who have a different point of view, or even stumbling across a book. I think a lot of people "find themselves" when they go to university, or when they move out on their own, as this means they are outside of the influence of people who previously had the power to pretty much control what they thought and how they felt (not necessarily intentionally). Not mind control exactly, but we all know that parents, close family and old childhood friends can have a pretty strong affect on people, both positive and negative. Perhaps some people cling to childhood and family so much, that it takes travelling to another country on the other side of the world, and being surrounded by people very different to themselves, to really have that growing up period in life.

You are confused, otherwise you wouldn't have made your previous post. Looney-lefties = a subset of lefties who are loonies Lefty-loonies = lefties who someone considers to all be loonies. When someone says loony-lefty, they aren't talking about every lefty. So it isn't accurate to say that people are claiming that all who want social equality are loonies. Actually, a lot of people who are labelled as "right-wing" or "conservative" are actually pretty left-wing on most issues. They simply object to something like gender issues or immigration, and are deliberately mislabelled in an attempt at silencing. You don't understand what "looney-left" means, therefore you are confused. Or, to be more accurate, incorrect.

Yes, a lot of people know that it's good to get a walk in every day, not even as "exercise" but as a minimum on top of things like going to the gym. Not everyone knows how effective it is, though. Things like this help, as it means that people are more likely to add a daily brisk walk to their routine.

I think you're confusing lefty-loonies with loony-leftists.

So how much does the shop and restaurant bring in? And you can run these as well as all this online stuff?

I meant in the restaurant, the ones that say you're happy.

Are you saying that, prior to this, the invigilators weren't able to stop the students from stealing exam papers?

The theme of the event was the future. It's great that Thailand is successful at marketing their cultural traditions to the world, but that doesn't quite gel with an event based on ideas about the future. Thai people might "live in the moment", but that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be some that are looking to innovate and bring about positive change. True, things are exactly looking very positive in Thailand at the moment, but that's all the more reason to want to change. If that isn't being done, then that's another issue. Once that we (and probably most Thais) can't really do much about.

Do you have any examples?

It's not ridiculous at all. It's reasonable to assume that someone with so much success would be happy, and then to question why they are not. Even your reply here suggests a fair amount of unhappiness. Are your customers mostly Thais?

You replied like you were the OP. Who cares about your bogus claims?

But how can you describe the Vice President of America and one the richest men in the world as "bottom feeders"? Do you know what a bottom feeder is?

You think that the Vice President of America and one the richest men in the world are "bottom feeders"??? 🤦‍♂️ This gives you zero credibility. 🙄

So, if this is true, why do you seem to spend so much time on here, and why do you often seem so grumpy? I would have thought that being able to live a lavish lifestyle and being a high status person, you would appear happier. Or does a lack of contentment drive you to overachieve?

I have no idea of your circumstances, the USD1000 was just a point of reference. 🤷‍♂️

Nah. When you run, you're involved in politics.

He's a candidate in an upcoming local government election. How is that not a political career?

USD160,000 per Anum. What do you do with all that money? You could live easily on USD1000 per month in Thailand.

What food???

What happens???

You forgot to include the reasons... 😓

Some sort of swimming-based exercise.

I'd believe it more if he wasn't on here all day writing angry comments that don't make much sense. Perhaps he works online in his native language... 🤔

That's 15K per day. How the hell do you make that?
