May be it's not really Thaksin at the hospital .. it might be just a clone who does the time for him . 55 ... Real Thaksin is at his home , a long time already . That would explain why he is rarely seen ...

I think the Op is talking about missing " politeness " in Thailand . Apart from the ' wai ' accompanied with a ( fake ) smile , there is not much about this in ' new ' Thai culture . Mai pen rai , it is not essential .

I do not like that . It looks like a part of a " Rat Race " . But , finally , I do not care ... Emojis should not be anonymous . Just as it was before . There should be a ' dislike ' emoji as well . We do not want to drown in hypocrisy , do we ...?

EV's with a limited range = good for the city . Hydrogen powered fuel cell vehicles = good for long range , if there are enough gas stations that sell hydrogen . A huge white ( natural ) hydrogen reservoir has been recently discovered in France .

These illegal loggers go into protected forest reserves , armed with their chainsaws , and cut down the most beautiful big trees to sell the wood . Nothing better than vandals and thieves ... destruction caused by their greed for money . Always the same ...

Somebody who has everything he or she really needs should be considered rich enough . ( to live a happy life . ) Everything more than this is a kind of luxury that should be taxed away for the benefit of a healthy sustainable society . Tired to hear about the excesses of billionaires who already own so much more than they ever can spend . If that excess money would be used to solve all the environmental ( too late already ...? ) and societal problems , the world would be a happier place . Capitalism ok , but reduced to a sustainable level .

The Myanmar government is supported by 2 great allies , China and Russia . I hope it falls ( fails ) as soon as possible , but it might be a bit early to prepare for what happens after the rebel's victory . If there would be a revolution from inside the army , the ugly Mr. Hling monster would not last long . But he commands his army with an ' iron fist ' , deserting soldiers will be tortured or executed . China and Russia both see a geopolitical ( and financial ) advantage in supporting the junta .

https://www.change.org/p/burmese-remove-min-aung-hlaing-and-investigate-military-financial interesting read ... Since 2019, scrutiny of Senior General Min Aung Hlaing and the Myanmar military’s economic interests has increased, after the UN Fact-Finding Mission published a report that implicated military-owned businesses in genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Furthermore, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing is at the center of international efforts for accountability for the crime of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The people of Myanmar and the rank-and-file of the military continue to suffer from the rampant corruption and systemic conflict of interest under Senior General Min Aung Hlaing’s leadership. Public assets stolen by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing and his family must be returned to the people. Without action from a democratically elected government, there is a high risk that Senior General Min Aung Hlaing will try to hang onto power as Commander-in-Chief and use it to continue to amass wealth through military conglomerates and his family businesses, while the majority of the people of Myanmar and the rank-and-file of the military live in poverty. complain about Thailand and it's corruption ...? It is nothing compared to Myanmar . Min Aung Hlaing is pure evil .

https://www.un.org/womenwatch/osagi/pdf/whatissh.pdf The EEOC has defined sexual harassment in its guidelines as: Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when: • Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment, or • Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as a basis for employment decisions affecting such individual, or • Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. Unwelcome Behavior is the critical word. Unwelcome does not mean "involuntary." A victim may consent or agree to certain conduct and actively participate in it even though it is offensive and objectionable. Therefore, sexual conduct is unwelcome whenever the person subjected to it considers it unwelcome. Whether the person in fact welcomed a request for a date, sex-oriented comment, or joke depends on all the circumstances. Sexual harassment claims are easy to make and sometimes used to discredit the accused person . It should be proven by evidence or witnesses , otherwise it can destroy a political career or ,even the life of the accused person .
