Maybe the west should offer wagner a few billion to take putin out and stop the ukraine invasion?

Yes, because backing a militaristic psycho has worked out well for the West in the past ????????

I disagree.

 

When you shop in house, your get the product that you want at the price that you want, when you want it.

And you can pay in cash without putting dodgy apps on your phone.

Reading all of the complaints around the place, that is not always true with online shopping.

Depends a lot on your location. I have no desire to drive for over an hour to find out that brick and mortar retailers are out of stock. I much prefer finding out things are out of stock from my recliner ????????

What's become of actual in-house physical shopping.....?? 

Same place as CRT TVs, CDs, and carburated cars... Relics of the past. Good riddance to them all. 

You may not like it but he is not wrong.

I am  not trolling , , I have been here awhile and even when i go out with my thai friends to eat , I notice they dont really smile at service staff , which in turn make me feel its normal just to show a poker ( normal ) face when ordering food .

 

Maybe its just me that i dont smile. But i thnk i should try. cos sometimes when I do smile I will get a smile in return.

 

Pardon me again for those who feel that I am trying to troll. cos when i frist came here to thailand I felt that almost everyone is smiling . but or its just me that been here for a while and feel that its normal not to smile at strangers .

 

anyyway I really appreciate all the replie.s 

 

 

And why do think it's a Thailand thang? I just smile cause I like people and find I get back what I give. Smile begets smile arseholery begets arseholery...

Did you really need to insult me?

It was a serious question. To me it seems like more than ten bucks worth of effort to circumvent the condo's system. My condos in other countries charge, on average, about $75 for key cards... 500 baht sounds like a bargain.

If you cannot extract what I mean nobody can help you.

Oh I know exactly what you mean and find the analogy truly stupid.

Do you want a life like the Communist Party of China or Russia or North Korea... 

Well that is as stupid as asking do you want a life like the democracy in Norway, South Africa or the USA. All very different versions of a similar concept, but definitely NOT the same.

Whilst all these politicians are  investigating and impeaching each other, who is actually governing the country?

Are you serious? Policy has been dictated by corporations for decades. US democracy is window dressing for the uninterested.

I wonder what kind of plea deal the govt would offer him? And other indictments are still pending.

Funny you say that. 45 recently said he WOULD accept a plea deal - on 1 condition - that the government pay him $$$ to accept it ????????????????

I don't understand the phrase, so what chance does a kid have.

Much better than you. It is part of youth vernacular. Not so much in the 50+ crowd.

Obvilously the GOP talking points narrative.

When these lithium batteries are done , how will they be disposed of...

When they are done their intense lifecyle in cars the batteries are still usable as mass storage on grids. They ARE NOT trash after a decade or so.

i'd say one great advantage is now we have a stockpile of seeds. they were hard to find before last year.

Great seeds have been readily available for over a decade. Growing at home, not so much!
