But who put it in their ass??? Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

You're probably confusing depression with simply feeling depressed. Also, lots of well-off people feel like sh*t and lots of poor people are happy. That's just the way life is. It's more about your upbringing and what is going on on the inside than how much material wealth you have.

But where did they get the idea from? Ahhhhh!

Let's hope he was rescued before any genital mutilation...

Presumably, they want to know the age difference between you and the 26 year old adult you are with so they can judge you for it. People get a little carried away with this anti age gap stuff. I think people wish they could date a much younger girl, but they can't, so they don't want others too either.

No. That's the opposite. His logic, applied to your example, would be that if tanks and bombs aren't illegal (as tobacco isn't), then why are they wanting guns (vapes) to be illegal? He's saying that if the worse/more harmful thing isn't illegal, why would they make the better/less harmful thing illegal?

If he wrapped it around himself, it could be the case that it was that, rather than the rain simply making it so heavy that it suffocated him. Also a little unrealistic to suggest that it would cut off his air supply without him knowing, unless he wasn't conscious. Possibly some alcohol or drugs involved, then he wrapped himself up making an airtight seal, and passed out.

"But it's for the internet!"

In an unsecured bag that she wouldn't notice fall off the motorbike...

Sounds like a bit of an overbearing parent, doting on her little prince. "What's wrong my child? Has someone been bullying you? Tell me so I can take action against them!" She probably can't even conceive that he might have provoked someone.

An interesting video. It seems that, with the younger people they spoke to at least, there seems to be a sense of them wanting to be able to spend their money on themselves. The people who said they couldn't afford to have children seemed to have a fair amount of money, but wanted to spend that money on nice things (and cats). It also might be a factor that they plan to have enough money to support their own retirement, and don't see the need for children to take care of them. I wonder if there is some Western influence at play with the whole "prolonged childhood" thing...

Presumably, if the rice is auctioned, then it will be delivered it to whomever bought it.

Not really an excuse for violence, but the kid sounds like a bit of a brat, probably down to the mother.

Why keep the kids in school when they could be out earning money to help their parents? There is only now.

Then you don't know what a generalisation is. 🤷‍♂️ Not trying to backpedal at all. Simply correcting your error. A Thai would have to be mildly sociopathic to do what he claims his wife did. No rational person with any meaningful experience in Thailand or knowledge of Thai culture would fail to realise that to do such a thing would be a clear f-you to the professor, so it isn't believable. It isn't even a case of someone not being one to "take sh*t". It's clearly a confrontational and disrespectful thing to do in Thai culture.

Extremely humorous... 🙄

Probably somewhere between them wanting to take photos, and you wanting to ruin those photos, lies the understanding that you're not quite grasping... 🤔

Presumably, they're talking about rules withing schools.

🤔

Isn't he under investigation for money laundering himself?

Died falling down a one metre deep hole?

It's fine to want this, of course, but they have to face up to the fact that they caused this by marketing their countries to attract this for the past 40 years. Don't be surprised if it is difficult to deter the "bad tourists" and equally difficult to attract the "good tourists". You first need to change whatever attracts the "bad tourists" and bring in something to attract the "good tourists".

No sh*t. That's what that literally means. A generalisation never means 100% of the people. 🙄 Still, it's far more likely that she didn't tell her professor than did. It's just not something that a normal Thai person would do.

Because I know what Thai people are like, both in terms of what they wouldn't do (showing their professor all their mistakes which their foreign boyfriend found) and in terms of what they would do (lying to their partner to keep the peace). If she lied to him, how would he know any different?
