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?

Indeed. It's my perception that a lot of digital nomads are basically in the late teens/early twenties phase, where there is little pressure to really achieve anything and they don't have any responsibility, but do have lots of time and energy. They then pretend that this fact, coupled with the fact that they are working online and travelling on a budget, means they are achieving something amazing in life. Nothing wrong with doing any of this, just the whole "look at my amazing digital nomad lifestyle that I have made for myself" thing, while essentially being on an extended gap-year, is a little annoying.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can find a way around it. Might it be better to just go back to England and demand to be seen?

What has your career been like? Do you have any plans for retirement?

It's hard to keep up. SparkTrader, BigNok, Uttradit, Dolf, Susanlea, MalcolmB, and possibly more. I don't know how one person can have so many personalities!

It feels like things were better under the Junta!

It's propaganda. The first woman is scared of the result of the tariffs on China, but I doubt she even knows what prices are likely to change. No way she is a genuine Trump voter.

I think it's more that miserable people are drawn to the left.

I'm not making any such claim. There are multiple pieces of evidence that support the overall point. The evidence doesn't sound unrealistic and I don't see why they would lie. If you don't want to believe the factual claims made in the article, that's up to you, but other people likely will believe them. This means there's really not much of a discussion to have. It's simply a case of people saying, "This suggests X", and you saying, "I don't believe this". (Although you use a lot more words that necessary to make this point.)

I don't think people had any idea what was coming with the whole "Cultural Marxism" thing. People were totally blindsided and even now many think they are doing the right thing, with even more scared to speak out. There's a real witch-hunt vibe. I had to google the title to find out. I had no idea speed cameras were now tiny and hidden. A total revenue generation operation.

Then we cannot discuss anything without documented and verified evidence? I very much doubt that you keep this requirement when it works in your favour.

It's obviously some issue where being the only "good" foreigner compensates for some other personal short-coming. He perceives Thailand and Thai people as being superior to the West and Western people, then feels special and superior to most other foreigners as he imagines he is the one foreigner who treats the Thais properly, who knows their customs, who is accepted by them. It's a status thing. You only have to look at how he explodes in rage simply for being disagreed with. That makes him feel inferior, so he lashes out to feel superior again. His mind won't let him believe that he is wrong, so the other person has to be wrong. It would be interesting to see his response to meeting another foreigner who he views as being "more Thai" than him (lived in Thailand longer, better at speaking Thai, more Thai friends, etc.). I wonder if he would become enraged and say how the guy is "up himself", or if he would try desperately to ingratiate himself with the "more Thai" foreigner.

If you want to deny the evidence presented in the article, you're free to do so, but it means there isn't much to discuss with you. "The evidence suggests this." "I don't believe the evidence is real." "OK then." 🤷‍♂️

There are apparently facts that support what is being implied. Are you saying that people are lying in the article?

The article seems to imply that the "A grade" people coming from abroad aren't as good as the home-grown "A grade" people, either through poor quality education or corruption.

To show the world that you aren't a racist and actually like non-White people more than other people do. It's textbook virtue signalling.

No, you're quite unpleasant about most foreigners. Your comments suggest that you want/need to find ways of putting other foreigners down. Perhaps you have a bias against other foreigners which causes you to perceive most of them as being disrespectful or nasty. By the nature of them being racist? An individual can be racist against their own race. I disagree. It's more a case of you not telling the truth or making glaring logical errors.

"I'm not wrong", "It's narcissistic to think otherwise"... 🤔 You're so close to getting it... 🙄 You're often wrong, and when you are wrong, it's easy to see because it is caused by racism, bias, etc., so there are generally logical errors that stand out.

This animal should never have existed in the first place, let alone being rehomed after the first attack.

Isn't that justified, though?

As I said before, if you are wrong, people are going to correct you. Add to that the fact that your comments generally involve a lot of anger a racism, and you're not going to attract positive comments. You get what you put out. Perhaps, instead of trying to pretend that you're the victim, you might want to think about why you get so angry and why you have so many issues with other foreigners.

Daily mail headline. Really weird that they say "by mistake". The undercover were obviously meant to look like people they would want to mug.
