Why do people still take meth? There are so many stories like this. Murder, child abuse, self-harm. Madness!

Just because you want something to be true, does not make it so... 🙄

You appear to have misspelt "I hope that the Trump tariffs will lead to backlash against American expats here."

While this is partially true, the lack of law enforcement, which is part of "the roads", likely contributed to him not wearing a helmet.

That's what I try to tell myself. They're never truly happy, the people around them hate them, they had a miserable childhood, and so on.

They've been hit and miss for me. One is always good. One gave me the sh*ts. Another was somewhere in the middle. I'd love to test the water, just to see if my stomach is correct. 😅

This seems to be what they are aiming for: Improve the area to improve stability. Presumably also to win hearts and minds.

Well, they're fantasy and aimed at men. To complain of them being unrealistic or sexist for this reason is kind of pointless. You could change them, if you want, but then no one would watch them.

The world is jam-packed full of nasty, selfish idiots, always scheming and trying to take advantage of others, and they often win. If you find a smart and kind person, you should really try to keep hold of them.

It's absolutely chilling. There aren't a lot of details on it, but I wonder if the child reacted to someone saying they have to refer to someone as a "she" by saying "But he's a boy". Children are innocent and say things in a very honest and matter of fact way, which fits the definition of transphobia a lot of people have, sadly.

He's kind of stitched himself up with this persona. He started wanting to be a really positive and optimistic expat living in Japan but occasionally holidaying in Thailand. Then he immediately went back to an unhappy expat living in Thailand moaning about made-up stories every day.

Does a retirement of relaxation and exercise really sound that bad? Throw in some reading or some other hobby, and it sounds pretty good. Some nice coffee whilst reading/watching the news, breakfast, a couple of hours in the gym, a gentle swim, some reading/researching something, a more creative hobby as well, why is that so bad? Is that not a routine? What do you want to be doing?

In my experience, give them a try, then see if you get sick. If you don't get sick, it's probably alright.

It's important to note that the Dems, plus a lot of Dem supporters (even some on this forum) were fully aware that Biden had dementia and was not fit to serve, but chose to lie and try to suppress that fact, even stooping as low as to suggest that a man who forgets what he is talking about, who people are, or where he is, is simply the effect of a speech impediment.

He was made to step away after the debate as the Dems realised they couldn't hide his dementia with lies anymore.

I'm sure you're probably just trolling, but word-salad-Harris was a terrible candidate and her not getting elected had nothing to do with misogyny. It's a miracle she got as many votes as she did.

They are either scared of being called antisemitic or they don't care because the victims are Arabs. It is kind of weird the way people are like, "But, Hamas in Gaza...", and just let settlers do whatever they want.

Funny you should say that, I just watched a video about the anti-Tesla madness and the commenter suggested that the reason a lot of these anti-Trump/Elon people are boomers is due to the fact that they are only used to watching MSM on TV so have no idea about finding independent journalism like younger people do today.

They the ones in control!

This makes no sense. You say you're jealous and resentful of a guy who doesn't live in Thailand because he has a life back home, then you're asking why people don't do the opposite of what this guy (the one you're jealous of) does.

Disagreement is often part of debate, sure, but I don't only disagree with people. I share information or request information as and when, share an opinion, make a joke, and so on. All I have done is read your comments and respond honestly. I understand that you don't like that, but I feel that is more an indication of an issue you have, rather than one I have. I cannot make you see things as they are, because you don't want to.

I haven't said anything that isn't true. I can understand you don't like to hear this about yourself, but I think it's probably important that you do. There's nothing wrong with polite disagreement, nor with someone challenging someone else's behaviour. It's up to you what you do with this information, but I think that a little introspection would be good for you.

And you are an angry racist person, who thinks that things that Thai people do are fine, but when a foreign person does the same, they are bad. You also believe that, on a public forum, other users aren't allowed to disagree with you, and you react aggressively towards them when they do. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. The fact that you cannot bear to have anyone contradict you, or to point out that you are wrong, is something you should probably see someone about.

I bet you he was the kind of kid who sat at the back of the class making spitballs, but he still did his homework. People generally don't like it when someone holds a mirror up to show them their true nature. 🤷‍♂️

It's kind of sad that you can be so hostile yourself, then view someone simply pointing something factual out about you to be hostile. Your pattern of interaction is generally one of being antagonised by people for no good reason. 🤷‍♂️
