Bangkok couple’s miraculous escape from tragic road bridge collapse
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Was anyone not within the construction site actually in any real danger? The video seems to show that the bridge was well within a closed-off area. The above makes it sound like they were driving underneath the bridge as it collapsed. It doesn't seem like there was any serious danger from which they needed to accelerate away nor for the amulets to protect them. -
No. It's quite mainstream. Pretty average people complain about movies being garbage because of following some sort of "woke agenda". Equally when companies "go woke" in some sort of marketing campaign, like Gillette or Bud Light, average people notice and say "What is this woke garbage?" Don't fall for left-wing activists who want to prevent the use of the word because they support what it criticises.

Best ways to pull yourself out of a slump?
BangkokReady replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
This depends on what your problems are. If your problems stem from where you are, leaving or relocating is a sensible option. -

Start cleansing your mind and your body. Gym plus healthy eating and plenty of water for your body. read the classics in philosophy and literature for your mind. You need to begin identifying yourself with positive and healthy things. It might be good to relocate to a place where drinking and mongering is not as prevalent. -
Senator asks his peers to support Pita for PM

Thailand has freedom of expression? -
Can you give some examples of such common sense behaviors and attitudes? I think it's just gone radical. Basically, "woke" used to mean knowing things like racism being bad, that everyone should be treated the same, and there were injustices that really needed to be addressed. Now "woke" means pointless virtue-signalling and pandering to the extreme, particularly things that are nonsensical/fake, have the opposite effect that they are intended to, and that ruin some form of art.

Not really. If he's talking about escaping an ideology, not the people themselves, then he doesn't necessarily need to escape people who are the subject of that ideology in order to do so. I.e. You can escape a woke "trans-supremacy" agenda by moving to Thailand, simply because they don't have that ideology there. You don't need to dislike a group of people to disagree with what some people are saying about that group.

Don't bother to help anyone
BangkokReady replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It is recommended to give a few slaps on the back first, then do the Heimlich a couple of times, then a few more slaps, and repeat. Surprising that he didn't realise that you were helping, if he genuinely couldn't breath and you shifted the blockage. Perhaps he was confused, in shock, embarrassed, etc., or even unaware of what was going on. Any chance he could breath and was just coughing but you misinterpreted it? -
I forgot to add, in terms of how the younger girl benefits. Being with a foreign man and having a foreign baby, might be seen as a status symbol and could allow the woman to relocate to a Western country. Also, the news seems to be full of Thai men beating and killing women, so any foreign man might be seen as a better alternative for some. (I know some won't like this, but of course it isn't all Thai men. I'm just giving an example of what some women/parents might experience.)

It does seem a bit much considering the (lack of) age difference. Maybe it's just me, but "divorced 35 year old with two children who also needs financial support" seems like a 50-60 year old guy kind of deal. ????♂️ A 40s guy with a job I would have thought could find a late twenties/early thirties woman with no kids and never married. But each to their own.
