Is she Thai? I thought Thai women were smarter than to fall for diamonds and wanted gold due to the potential of resale as well as appearance..

I wonder what the Russian government have told their troops. That they will be welcomed with open arms, or to expect the local population to fight to the death?

I agree with you, but I think it might be more accurate to say EU/NATO-orientated former Soviet states. They are still in Eastern Europe.

47,549 actual/probable cases, 166 "from abroad". So 0.35% "from abroad".

0.80%? Is there such a figure as 0.80? Isn't the zero after the 8 redundant? Is it intended to make it sound worse? "Nought point eight" vs. "nought point eighty"?

Absolutely. I mean the ones that most Thai people have.

How is it for visa runs? I remember the visas in being pretty simple, just pay for a letter and fill out a form (pre-covid).

There's no excuse for verbal or physical harassment, but even men will be treated differently because of their clothing. You cannot complain if you are treated differently (within the law) if you are dressed more provocatively. There are no excuses for harassing, groping, raping etc., anyone, but you can't just do whatever you want and expect no reaction at all. The problem is that women are generally passive in dating and relationships and men are active. So men pursue women because they have to. This can cause problems where men end up pursuing women who they think are more "available" than they actually are. Life is complicated, relationships even more so.

Depends on whether it is harming you. If you find the news makes you feel unhappy, stop consuming it. There is generally no need for it. Most news is purely for entertainment.

(As long as the vaccines are good.) ????

Just let it fly. This could be the super spreader event that we've all been waiting for. The sooner we get to the peak, the sooner we're over it. (As long as all those vaccines are good.) "The 'cron abides man..."

The outrage is fake/manufactured. People are angry because he says things they don't like but he is too popular to cancel. That is why they keep going for him.

Only if the youngsters can pass it also.

Along with the fact that they are a country that is still developing, no?

Sounds interesting, but seems to be limited in availability. It's not specifically the American university system I am interested in, so much as what is happening to the youth of today as a result of woke, PC, overprotective, safespace culture, along with social media/internet.

Do you read? If so, theres a book called "the coddling of the American mind" that attempts to answer this question. You might find it interesting. Its main focus is the American university system, but it's pretty relevant to all modern life for young people. They also reference some other books and sources in there that help to answer your question.

Do you have any details for the insurance? Will you be a one stop shop for getting into Thailand, bar the visa?

Certainly a mixture of what you have said. I think also young people have the idea that it's cool to be hedonistic and promiscuous, along with wanting freedom and to live like children forever, but this actually makes them miserable. What I mean is, if they dated briefly, married young and started a family, they would be happy. Or perhaps, if that still made them happy, they might not feel so hopeless and miserable. Certainly social media making people think that they have many more options than they really do plays a part in this. Unfortunately, I think that this idea that people should be free to live however they want ends up with people just not being happy. They think they are getting something better, that these old fashioned ways are so boring and controlled, but actually, like a child allowed to eat whatever they want and pick their own bedtime, it ends up being bad for them. Probably an element of some force that wants to destroy the family also. Possibly a mixture of outsiders and degenerates who don't want anyone to be happy if they cannot be, and maybe consumer culture where people being single and sad makes them spend more money. So all this "liberation" leaves them with little reason to live. Also, they don't realise their error until it is too late for them to change back. You can't get the toothpaste back in the tube.

Does that stop the posts showing up?

Well, with 30,000ish cases and less than 200 "from abroad", the surge certainly isn't coming from outside the country (as much as certain people would like to pretend that was the case). Reduce the restrictions and let people decide if they want to risk getting a cold while on holiday.

Why are mild cases being hospitalised? Surely the whole point of Omicron is that few people actually need hospital treatment. Why are there people experiencing the symptoms of a cold in hospital?

"You keep using those words, I do not think they mean what you think they mean." Sure, some want those things, but not all.

Nothing. They just want Thai people to see foreigners as dangerous. For reason of control of the populace.

Don't they know where tourists are at all times with the TM30?

OK, I see your problem. You're getting confused. You're claiming that discrimination against women is "the patriarchy", while your evidence says that "the patriarchy" involves discrimination against women. Also interesting that there is no mention of men having to do the discrimination... There's no mention of "the patriarchy" in the article in the OP.
