Only these are definite. Possibly... Is you, MalcolmB, being the user MalcolmB in question? Odd to include that. No. Nice attempt to "muddy the waters" SparkTrader/Big Knok/Dolf, but it isn't going to work.

It's still pointless. Trolls try to troll people with insincere posts. Other trolls don't care about the reason for the posts and only reply to troll the original troller. The original troller doesn't care about that trolling and simply trolls back. The fact that the intention was to troll, and only others trolls answer, who then intend to troll, but who are then only answered by the original troll in a further troll, means that the troll never worked, therefore there is no point to the troll.

Could you give a quick summary?

Apparently untrue: https://carnegieendowment.org/middle-east/diwan/2024/09/alpha-males-in-beirut?lang=en And Hamas has/had Russian hostages: https://www.aa.com.tr/en/world/moscow-calls-on-hamas-to-free-2-russian-hostages/3394849

I don't know about AI, but there seems to be quite a few posters that offer a slightly different version of the "dead internet theory". People post troll topics to troll others. The multiple troll accounts that use this forum then reply with their trolling comments. And the original posters reply to these troll comments with their own continued troll comments. Completely pointless.

I wonder what could have happened in 2019 that made people less keen to visit Thailand? They talk about things like safety, cleanliness and infrastructure, which hasn't changed much in the last few years, but seem to ignore the fact that Thai people like foreigners a lot less than they did pre-covid. You can't have multiple months/years-long antiforeigner campaigns and expect tourism to remains the same.

I couldn't agree more. They're shameless liars and hypocrits. They simply see their side as being "right" so nothing is off-limits to them, no matter how devious, dishonest or cruel. I think a lot of them feel that they just need to be able to respond, no matter how ridiculous their response is, then they've "won". It's quite surprising how the conservatives have turned into the people that actually give a sh*t about anyone else, while the left has turned kind of evil.

I wasn't sure until the topic of circumcision came up and he got just as mad and made the same angry arguments in favour of it as he had before. He does seem to be including a little of the anti-British sentiment that Goat <deleted> showed, which makes me think that he was both, but, realising how much of a reaction he got, he decided to merge that into this new troll persona.

I don't see how this relates to the comment you replied to.

Completely new to Thailand as well, apparently... 🤦‍♂️

While this appears to have some credence to it, he was definitely SparkTrader/Big Knok/Dolf. So I guess this suggests that he was previously juggling two troll accounts.

The loaded questions you write to try to get the response you want are pathetic. 🤦‍♂️

So, if you didn't choose it, why do you speak like others do?

I think it's more cultural. They brought up and educated to think this way.

Exactly. Make it 30 if you want. It doesn't matter if no one enforces it. You don't even really have the option to go slowly, as all the speeders put you in danger.

Sometimes the Thai mindset seems to be, "be kind to everyone, unless they do something "bad", then you can attack or kill them".

So you purposefully chose to like light and dark skinned women?

Or one species! 🐎 https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/cheesy.gif

Very sad. Try another country. Thailand is actually fairly unique for SEA in terms of hating foreigners.

Because he ate a traffic ticket and to put him in custody would be a total waste of time and resources, not to mention completely out of proportion with the "crime"?

Why would you try to explain such things to anyone who says "[race] are only allowed to do X"? Why do you even want to talk to people like that?

He needs to take some time and think about why everyone suddenly hates him.

Neither is Chri......scrub that. You're actually correct. It can be celebrated as a religious event, it has its origins in religion, but it is celebrated, probably by most who celebrate it, as a non-religious event.

Sure, but, you realise that "capitalism" is only really an economic system, right? The way we use it is to not just let it run wild. It's regulated, taxed, it has laws that control it, and, importantly, we have a welfare system that works independently of it. You should know this.

That isn't capitalism, that's the failure of the UK to protect and care for their vulnerable people. If not for capitalism, those old people, like most other people, probably wouldn't be alive to die.
