I don't want to poke the bear. I already moaned about it once. 😬

Boredom, keeping up with interesting news, seeing the opinions of others, contributing to the overall debate on something. Other places you can comment on are things like YouTube or Reddit, but YouTube is kind of random and not any chance of a debate and Reddit is a left wing hell-hole. It seems kind of standard these days to watch or read something online then comment on it. I actually find myself thinking of a question or comment to post while I watch Netflix, only to remember that it has no such feature.

I very much doubt that it is restricted to positive reactions. It's more likely about overall engagement. If you look at the "popular" posts on a topic, you often see a post that is being reacted to negatively.

FYI, even if someone is "gone" CPR should still be done until emergency services turn up.

Without making a big thing out of it, it seems that under 18 but over 15, the girl might be able to consent, but she (or perhaps her parents) can withdraw that consent at any time. So it sounds like this is the approach the court is taking, even though he claims that he thought she was over 18. But who knows? Seems best to stick to over 18 (and apparently ask for ID).

She definitely didn't consent because she was 17 and is now saying that she didn't consent? That doesn't sound like a especially strong case, particularly if she lied about her age and is now lying about giving consent... 🤔

Because there is not the same level of Thai ability in the UK. You can live in Thailand and get by speaking very little Thai. You cannot live in the UK and get by without speaking a reasonable level of English. Pretty simple... 🤷‍♂️

it sounds like what it is, hypocrisy.

It seems unlikely that the father would have known that the child would go under the boat and be injured by the propeller. You would have to have advance boating knowledge to know that and to deliberately throw the boy in a way that would likely cause his death. It's not unreasonable to suspect that he viewed throwing the boy off the boat as something rather harmless (whether for fun or to punish him), not dissimilar to throwing him into a pool, and intended to save him when he jumped in.

Why? Nothing but good things are happening! Do you support racist DEI policies or the endangerment of women and girls? Or do you hate women's sports? I can't think why any decent rational person would see anything bad in what is happening now, unless completely blinded by personal ideology.

The is zero chance that there won't be masses of people watching Trump's every move, waiting to lie about him, just like always. 🤷‍♂️

What about the son of an intel person who doesn't want his father's reputation ruined?

What's really twisted is she felt completely comfortable admitting to not being able to do the job and saying men deserve to die in fires. 🤦‍♂️ No wonder people voted for Trump.

The humour here comes from the fact that the donkey believes that DEI had anything to do with preventing discrimination. (Its effect was actually quite the opposite.)

Apartment or house? 🤔

People literally go on holiday while pregnant to try to get their kids citizenship. Madness!

It's weird the way "woke" has been used recently. First it was a positive thing, then it was abused and became a negative, now people are getting woke to how bad wokeness is...

This is a lie. They don't want mercy, they want special treatment at the expense of others. That's what got us in this mess in the first place.

Absolute madness. I know you are in danger driving in Thailand, and that people often don't follow the rules, but attacking other road users for doing so is a new one.

That may be the case (although I think he's probably lying), but that doesn't extend to being able to command younger people to ride out into oncoming traffic which has right of way.

To be fair, this isn't exclusive to politicians in Thailand.

There is a problem, that problem is finally being addressed and treated seriously... that's very positive. The only negative seems to be coming from your imagination.

You seem a little confused, or perhaps simply blinded by your "ideology". Someone who has come to do good and has a serious face when contemplating it, is a very positive thing. Do you think the allies that fought to liberate Europe were all smiling?

I'm sorry that you choose to view things in that way. For me, it really seems like the end of a fairy-tale, when the dragon (wokeness) has been slain and the villagers come out of hiding. Hopefully the good times will continue.

Exactly. This is where we're heading under Trump, finally. 🫡
