Can't be more dangerous than people like Biden or the Clintons. If he isn't speaking out against them also, then I would trust what he's saying as being true.

Presumably, if it was something like global warming, it would be very gradual, not so sudden that we think, "It's never been like this before!".

What Israel-Hamas? Do you mean Israel-Gaza?

It's only because his views are ones that he approves of. If was supporting Trump, he would say he's a stupid idiot.

🤷‍♂️

Potentially scary, but as soon as the technology is there, people will be able to call an expert witness and ask them if it is possible that the footage is AI generated, to which they will presumably say yes. What will be strange is when AI is good enough that it basically makes all video footage questionable. What then?

This seems like a popular scam. Apparently they ask to see some kind of money as they have "never seen it before" and then simply steal it or try to distract you and take a few notes then, as you say, pretend to give it back.

The OP isn't asking that. He's saying it is hotter than usual and that it is unusual to find it so hot at night.

It's impressive, but not exactly scary. It would be scary if people believed it unquestionably. If someone made a video of a politician admitting to a crime and people believed it and the politician lost his job, that would be scary. But that's more the scariness of how stupid some people can be. A little disappointing that for the Seinfeld answer the AI didn't say, "What's the deeeeal with Blitzscalling?".

There's no way Thailand is better now than in 2016. That's insane.

Politics, economics, job prosects, covid long-term damage, anti-foreigner agenda, social media, debt, there just isn't as much to be happy about in Thailand now.

Where does the small apartment come into it? If they had a larger apartment then they wouldn't seek this attention from you?

The perp says he wasn't looking at what he was doing. Not that the police officer was not recognisable as such.

Sure, but you also said guest. Being discriminated against/abused and being a guest don't really go together, which is why it's a faulty analogy.

Are all women whores?

That's standard Thai culture. If you point out something bad, you're the bad person.

A tricky situation where law and religion collide. The parents might say, "Of course the amulets wouldn't protect the children from acid, anyone would know that". But if many people believe that amulets do have magical powers, and that making merit at the temple means they will receive rewards now or in the next life, was the monk so crazy, in this context, to believe that the amulets would protect them? Or do the parents think that that amulet failed on this occasion, so they need compensation, without it really challenging their faith at all?

Guests at your home and guests in a hotel are generally treated better than non-guests. The "guest in their country" thing just doesn't work. "You're a guest in Thailand, so you have to obey the rules while locals don't, because police will try to extort you" isn't the moral win you think it is.

"Don't cross there. That manhole has a dangerously rotted wooden lid." They tried their best. What more could they have done?

I'd like to see the per capita figures... 🤔

You don't think there might be some issue with it? Maybe the girls are damaged by being pressured into doing it? Or, if they are "happy" to do it, maybe the reason for that is that they are culturally damaged? Plenty of degeneracy back home, but at least we acknowledge that there's normally a negative cause behind it and it is damaging to the woman long-term.

I think the ladyboys are Thai.

Gangs, sure, but in Thailand its pretty common for civilians to form an ad-hoc gang if they have an issue with someone. I'm not sure he was fighting so much as being attacked by a gang of ladyboys.

Don't you think the number of one-on-one/unarmed fights you see are pretty low in Thailand? It's pretty much always 10 armed Thais sneak attacking one unarmed Thai. I'd actually like to think that Muay Thai fighters know better than to get drunk and start fighting people.
