Tariff pause - Trump IS an idiot !!
Trump is a master strategist. The tariffs scared people into negotiating, they are now paused while the negotiations take place. Unfortunately, people are so mentally damaged by the very existence of Trump, they are unable to process information in a normal way. They're so desperate for a "gotcha" moment, they cannot think rationally.

Chiang Mai's Raft Rumpus: G-String Dancer Causes Outcry
I was going to say, Mor Lam dancers at "family-friendly" events wear little clothing and shake their butts in exactly this way.

Police Urge Embassy Cooperation to Tackle Mental Health Incidents Involving Foreigners
Interesting idea, and I think they attempted this in a city called Pattaya. Will Thais be free to move in and out to extract money from the foreigners?

Police Urge Embassy Cooperation to Tackle Mental Health Incidents Involving Foreigners
That really depends on the country. Somewhere like Thailand is harder due to the race and culture being so different to the West. Possibly some truth in this, but the Thais don't exactly make it easy. No matter how long a foreigner lives in Thailand, they will be viewed as a complete outsider. They'll also find that there are many issues where a foreigner is immediately discriminated against. Even foreigners who speak fluent Thai, many still report not really feeling like they belong and being treated as a stranger.

Woman Who Cut Painter’s Rope at Condo Arrested, Fleeing Court Sentence for Attempted Murder
Although the exact definition varies by jurisdiction, in general manslaughter doesn't mean killing somebody by accident, it means killing someone without having planned it beforehand. So, if you just suddenly decide to kill someone and then instantly do it, it's manslaughter? That doesn't sound right. Generally, manslaughter means the death was unintentional or it was intentional with some sort of mitigating circumstances. Do you have a link that supports your claim?

Jealous Husband Beats Man to Death with Plank After Finding Wife at Ex-Husband’s House
JFC. I thought at first it was the ex-husband that was killed. The victim is just a kind old man that gave a sick disabled woman a lift somewhere and then chilled out in a hammock. What an absolute animal the murderer is.

Panic at Chaiyaphum Hospital as Patients Flee in Fear of ‘Building Collapse’
I'd believe you if they didn't seem to wear them more indoors than out. And I meant generally, rather than specifically in a hospital.

The Shadow War: When Vigilantism Crosses a Dangerous Line "paedophile hunters"
The article is about these self-style "paedophile hunters" and the bad things that they have done, such as breaking the law themselves or targeting innocent people. This is worthy of highlighting. They might think/claim that they are doing a good thing, but they are likely only doing it for their own benefit and don't care about who gets harmed. And in case you're going to respond as such, no it is not OK for innocent people to have their lives ruined if it means it might save some others.
