The responses seemed a little fishy also. Replying to obvious joke responses seriously with "Thank you dear reader, blah blah blah".

"Gosh mother! That liquid looks frightfully smelly!!

Not at work and not answering his phone might prompt a visit to his residence.

Allow... punished... ???? Do you think they allow dancing if they punished the staff for doing it? ????

This sounds an awful lot like far-left propaganda. Fairly regular people are questioning things like pronouns, the safety of women and children, fairness and safety in sports, the legitimacy of Antifa and BLM, and so on. You can lie all you want, but people are waking up to this sort of thing. The days of scaring regular people who think "ooooh, I don't want to offend anyone" and just let themselves get walked over are rapidly running out.

I'm not sure they even experience love in Asia in the same way we do in the west. It seems that love is for the family and relationships are more about money and sex. It seems almost like they "choose" to love someone, but it's really more like they choose someone and then say that they love them, like they've chosen to be with you so that is love.

This should be standard. It should be done at the hospital at birth, or even prenatal, as a rule. Of course women won't like it, they will be scared to be caught out or want to pretend that women would never do things like that. It's like the "a woman would never lie about rape/sexual assault". Just a pretence that women are always perfect and perpetual victims.

What do you like to collect? Any particular type?

If she's close with a male "friend" and staying out late, that isn't jealousy, that's unacceptable behaviour. You shouldn't be with someone who has that kind of relationship with another man. You should aim to vet for that beforehand, or end the relationship if something like that occurs. Get out of there and find someone who actually wants to spend time with you. You don't "deal with it", you listen to it. If your gut says something isn't right, then probably something isn't right. There's nothing "illogical" about jealousy, don't let women gaslight you. The limbic system is your friend when it comes to trust, as your conscious mind can be lied to easily. Trust your gut. If you think something is wrong, it probably is. Unless you are in an open relationship. If that's the case, and your gut is saying "don't do this", an open relationship is not for you. I'm not sure why anyone would want to be with someone who is going out so much and acting so suspiciously that you could imagine they are having an affair. That's a major red flag, even if they aren't actually cheating. Sure, they could do it in secret also, but that's no reason to tolerate it if you see it overtly.

Makes you wonder if it was stress related to covid and upon spotting a foreigner he saw someone to blame for his problems. Very sad that as Thailand is looking to open up and bring back tourism, some Thai people are choosing not to be very welcoming.

Do they even have the concept of a close friend in Thailand? I always figured friends were a little bit easy come, easy go in Thailand. Kind of friends with everyone so close friends with no one.

Something for the people who say that "lack of enforcement by the police is the reason for people not following the law" to think about. Thai people don't really want them to. ????‍♂️

Does anyone else find this kind of thing a little tacky?

But a pack of Marlboros doesn't make people think that he may have fallen because of drugs and Thailand could not be implicated.

Vilified? Didn't she run away with the money? What did she do with the money?

Had to come and read the article to see if they were saying that they respect religious beliefs, but won't respect public health. Not a great title.

Indeed. Just checked out some of his "work". Really just a lame "tag". You would think that a foreigner would think better than to just go around making the city he's being allowed to live in look worse.

Great reference. "We managed to rectify it though, it now says… by adapting it, it now says “cook” where it once said “cock”. And it says “pass” now, where it once said “<deleted>”. So it’s slightly less rude."

It's too hot to work out properly outside.

No excuse for violence, but it's common etiquette to let someone use equipment first if they have been waiting to use it. Imagine you've been waiting patiently to use a piece of equipment, then when the person using it leaves someone else jumps on it. You tell them politely that you were actually waiting for that equipment and they say "there's no queue for the equipment" and just go on using it. Doesn't justify hitting someone with a dumbbell, but the "victim" sounds like a bit of an a$$hole.

The annoying thing about this, is that although some people like "street art" and see it as being beneficial or improving the look of the area, people ignore the fact that some people don't like it and it also remains someone's property, which they might not want to be graffitied upon.

Funny, I never had you down as a communist. You talk about running a business, you say you dine with wealthy people, yet you object to the very system that allows you your comfortable lifestyle. If you think your hands are clean of explotative working practices or predatory lending, I would suggest you think again.

Not in the slightest. The guy went mad, fought the guy, got beaten, then murdered him. This isn't some great stand against predatory lending. It's not OK to kill people just because they beat you in a fight, even if you're Thai.

Cross trainers are good (I think that's an elliptical trainer). I'm not sure how good they are for building muscle, but they must strengthen your body generally. Certainly good for cardio and low impact on your joints. Also kettle bells are good for home workouts. Take a look at them. Should be able to do some squat style lifts and presses with those. They're pretty versatile and come in a range of weights/sizes. You could maybe include a small step thing. I'm not sure what they're called, but you can get plastic steps that are specifically for exercise. I'm sure you've heard of step aerobics? You need to make sure you're in a safe area in case you have a balance issue mid-workout though. But you need to be motivated and prepared to put the work in. Until you build your strength up, it's going to be hard. (I'm not an expert and still relatively young, but I've been a fairly keen gym goer for years.)
