You can choose that path, and get a reputation as kiniow. Not a good idea to go back to a place where you have acquired that kind of reputation. I understand it's the Koreans and Japanese who are regarded as the best tippers. I tip my massage lady and caddies more than the standard fee. They may have more customers that day, or get no work for a couple of days. I know it is appreciated, by their attitude towards me. In answer to the OP, it depends on how long you were there for, listening to the band and drinking. 100 baht and 50 to the waitress sounds OK for half an hour. Inadequate if you were there for hours.

I'd be older than you if i was 12.

Whatever will you do when Trump loses in November, thanks to Vance's incompetence and his own cognitive decline? Do you have a rock you can call home?

Leftist pinko commie media. Polls don't count unless they favor the Trump/Vance ticket, don't you know that? How the Maga crowd must pine for the time they all wore bandaged ears.

The only idiocy is your repeated ad hominem attacks, playing the man instead of the ball.

What would a photo of you or Vance at the same age look like? Talk about clutching at straws.

I don't think Trump is crazy. Just under a great deal of stress, which makes people say and do stupid things. The stress is caused by the knowledge jail is looming if he does not win. I'm also betting Vance will be the first to be thrown under the bus if he does lose. Trump is notorious for picking people he praises to the skies, then calls duds a couple of months later. I doubt Vance will be an exception.

i guess we will see who is right in November. Begging the question by calling my OP a load of nonsense without any countervailing evidence just illustrates the vacuity of your position. It's the sheer quantity of clips showing Melania pulling away from Trump, as if she is barely tolerating him, which indicate there's more to it than a spat. Her non-attendance at his rallies and the trials is another tell. One would have to be delusional to think Trump shagging a porn star, while Melania is caring for a five month old baby, would not color her attitude to him. Many women would have cut his nuts off by now. Perhaps she already has, in terms of access.

Maybe HSI morphed into Bob Dobbs.

He has not governed anything, perhaps you don't comprehend that. OTOH. Walz has governed Minnesota for two terms, during which time he brought in free school meals, universal gun background checks, codified abortion rights, and introduced free college tuition for low income families. Senators vote along party lines, and dispense patronage to lobbyists. The ones who come in with the most influence and money. Excuse me if I don't consider that governing. Vance has three children, Walz two. Suitability is based on breeding capability? Perhaps this will help you understand, although I doubt it.

I've never had a problem with my Bangkok bank accounts. I have had a couple with Kasikorn, mainly online logons.

So far, his attacks have been misfires, and an embarrassment to the GOP. IMO the Trump model of attacking everything has reached its use-by date, voters are no longer listening. Easy enough to get data, what do you think the funding and audience numbers at rallies are saying?

IMO they are more important than they used to be, when John Nance described the job as not being worth a pitcher of warm spit. Certainly Mike Pence was pivotal on Jan 6, certifying the election results against Trump's wishes. He will go down in history as a man of honor and integrity. Walz will be an asset to Harris, due to his extensive experience in government. I have yet to hear how Vance is an asset, maybe a cat has got someone's tongue.

The age difference is irrelevant. What is relevant is the fact my GF was 43 yo when I met her, so your snide attempt to portray me as a cradle-snatcher falls flat on its face. Can we get back on topic? What do you think Vance brings to the table, that does not make him a major liability?

I don't consider I could convince you to change your position, that requires acceptance of logic and facts. Tell me what you think Vance brings to the table, apart from being an attack dog with poor judgment. No experience in government. An anti-abortion stance that will win the hearts and minds of American women. From where I sit, he's done nothing but produce a succession of gaffes, which may well be Trump's ticket to Riker's Island.

Don't exaggerate. Trump said his daughter was someone he would be attracted to as a man. The Dems thought that was creepy, most normal people would. His association with Epstein did not help either, when he said "Don likes them young". There are several clips of Melania standing behind Trump, with a facial expression indicating he has just gone poopy in his trousers.

Jesse Ventura disagrees with you.

It's well known Vance is an ideological warrior. He chose to attack Walz by calling the hug Walz's wife gave Walz at a rally "weird". Trump junior piled on with a tweet, equally ill-advised. The Democrats gleefully started playing clips of Trump and Melania, where it is obvious Melania does not even want to be touched by Trump. Who could blame her, after all the dirty linen being washed in public? For a former Marine, Vance's target selection and execution is remarkably poor. Trump must be having significant buyer's remorse. Have at it, MAGA apologists. I am looking forward to the whataboutisms, deflections, and rationalizations.

You are basing that on equivalent IQ?

Harris is a trained lawyer and prosecutor, with years of legal experience. She has 3 years experience in the corridors of power, next to Biden. She can probably digest a 40 page brief at light speed. OTOH, Trump learned nothing from his years in the White House. He could not handle any brief that was longer than a single page. Talking head only, not that coherently.

Please tell me where in my OP I said I expect 7/11 workers to bow and scrape to me. I corrected a mistake. I said a simple thank you or smile would have sufficed. Your post appears to be arrogant in itself, perhaps you are into the holier-than-thou shtick.

"Evidentially"? Oh dear, another illiterate poster.

Is that supposed to be a put-down? Please try harder.

Given the posts you have made on climate change and vaccination on another thread, I guess I should not be surprised at the stupidity of this one.

You have proof of your first assertion? It's hardly surprising any population where Russian is made compulsory for years in schools and officialdom should have it as another language. Why do you think French is the official language of New Caledonia? I don't think you understand. Ukrainians hate Russians. Most of Eastern Europe does. In the aftermath of World War II, the Russians stole everything that was not nailed down, and some that was. Then set up command economies that directed the lion's share of production to Moscow. Why do you think every country wanted to join NATO? Russia has been restrained in this war? That is one of the most ridiculous statements I have read in a long time on ASEAN. Russia is targeting civilian buildings, hospitals, power infrastructure and agricultural infrastructure with shells, bombs, missiles and drones. It is releasing hardened criminals from jail to fight, who are looting, raping and killing in the occupied areas. Restrained my aching butt. The agreement to ship grain owes its existence to the fact there are three Russian gas pipelines crossing Ukraine into Europe. With Nordstream gone, that's most of what Russia has left. The deal certainly was not out of the goodness of Putin's heart. You should lay off the Kremlin Kool-Aid, comrade. It's not doing your credibility any good.
