Thai banks unaffected by two recent US bank failures
Tropposurfer replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
What a farce. The US banking system is so broken. Second major banking collapse in the last 20 years. I come from a nation that has had ZERO bank catastrophes inits entire history. Last time with that Fanny May and other banks collapsing because of appalling, unregulated, economically suicidal and corrupt practices the government bailed out the banks as well. -
Thai Whistleblower Goes After Suspended Minister
Tropposurfer replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The words of John Lennon echo when I read this exposing of the grift. "Imagine all the people living life in peace ..." Imagine how wonderful our world would be if the rich and mega rich paid more, a fair proportion of their profits in tax, and the wealth of the world was shared to a greater degree. A pipe dream I know. -

Tucker Carlson said he hates Trump 'passionately', lawsuit reveals
Tropposurfer replied to Scott's topic in World News
It is both fascinating, horrific, and bizarre all at the same time. Carlson is and has been a dyed in the wool white-supremacist and a racist since his early college days (at least). The evidence of his own words and actions proves this without a doubt and yet he loathes a fellow racist and white-supremacist like Trump. Its fascinating because he has professed thousands of times on air the exactly same narratives and beliefs about and championed Trump and MAGA. Carlson unlike Trump is smart, Trump is a sociopathically cunning and intuitive not smart. Carlson is a sociopath but smart (well educated and read) and cunning, and believes in a white centric America. Trump and everyone else to him is a tool to that end. An America where the 'others' are entirely less-than and controlled for the benefit of the whites. -
Tucker Carlson said he hates Trump 'passionately', lawsuit reveals
Tropposurfer replied to Scott's topic in World News
Yep 2 baht; Sadly, and I recall I heard the other day on TV (not an American channel by the way), that 20% to 30% of Americans believe in Trumps lies and treasonous behaviour and are all in with him and the MAGA insanity. That's tens of millions of Americans living in a complete fantasy, not reality. -
Its not in Pattaya but opposite side of Sukhumvit Road to T21 ... just a short ways down Sukhumvit Road ... after you walk down the BTS steps to the roadway from BTS station there's a shoe maker. I had shoes made by Siam Bootery but they moved somewhere else years back (they were just a few doors along on the same side of Sukhumvit Road). This other shoe-shop a little ways further along Suk Rd seemed to have some crazy, but also some nice looking shoes, similar to the pic you posted. Siam Bootery made me some really goods hard soled moccasins in lizard skins .. very nice ... I still wear them.

Gender equality still ‘300 years away’, says UN secretary general
Tropposurfer replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
The poisonous patriarchy did a job on a brilliant female prime Minister in Australia by the name of Julia Gillard. New Zealand some years later elected Jacinta Arden and didn't she do a dang good job. To exclude, deliberately and calculatedly approximately ½ of humanity from being their best is an assault against humanity. -
Gender equality still ‘300 years away’, says UN secretary general
Tropposurfer replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Dang Johhnny ... Mike drop !! ???????????????? Its a fundamental existential truth; If I am uncomfortable with another humans personal choices as to how they live, and is not impinging on my fundamental rights as a human being e.g. to be free its ALL about the person who asserts they're being offended not the transgender person, or the woman choosing to abort a foetus, or person to marry another of a different colour or to chose to be awake and live in awareness instead of ignorance and denial about the reality of existence. Such bigotry emanates from within and is about the bigot ... always was always will be. -

Ukraine denies involvement in Nord Stream pipelines blast
Tropposurfer replied to onthedarkside's topic in The War in Ukraine
Or maybe it was just sh!te pipelines laid by sh!te Russian skimming contractors just like the skimming of billion of roubles by umpteen Russians from everything from the postal service to the entire Russian military arsenal. How would Ukraine with NO deepwater equipment get to the pipes in the first place, let alone place charge/s on said pipeline to blow it up? I know what to do we need to contact Tucker Carlson he'll know what really happened. Tucker will tell us all the TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!! -
Now that's 'real' love! I love you soooo much I kidnap with a deadly weapon, and if you resist my controlling, obsessive, delusional thinking, and grossly infantile immaturity I might taker your life. Here's a tip; Stop listening to the endless Thai and world love-addict songs and watching love-addict soap operas and movies.

88% of Thailand bank accounts have less than 50,000 THB
Tropposurfer replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I listened to a few economists, sociologists, philosophers, the other day on Utube and some said that we live in a modern feudal system today. The uber rich being the lords and the rest of us the vassals that serve them. -
Training Launched To Help Drivers To Get Their Points Back
Tropposurfer replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Help me out folks. I read and re-read the post and the article. I still can't discern whether their 90 day suspensions are cancelled inside the 90 days or whatever period of driving suspension they have placed upon them, because they comply with some few hours of an 'ED course'. The notion of driver ED is of an intervention in the shocking driving antics of LOS drivers, whether it will go anyway to reducing the world-leading carnage on LOS roads, is another thing. Reducing suspension because someone attends a class or a few classes is not a good idea. A suspension is a suspension and is designed as such to restrict and punish the offending driver, AND to make the roads safer for that suspension time for other drivers. The issue of social 'norms' around drinking and getting on bikes, into cars, and trucks has to be addressed at the micro-social level with cultural change invoked. Whether this can be done in this land as it has to those nations elsewhere that have entrained multi-pronged road safety road-toll campaigns and had huge success in road-toll deaths reduction is a notion I have no idea of. The changes needed to stop tens of thousands of people dying on LOS roads annually is something for successive Thai governments (decades of consistent programs focussing on this) and the Thai people themselves taking responsibility for is the only way the death and carnage can be reduced. Given what we see and can understand (a dim light on a world we will only ever know a tiny amount about less understand) of LOS the future of bodies on roadways and torn apart by crushed metal will continue unabated. -

JetStar, one of the most hated airlines in the world – survey
Tropposurfer replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That little toad that was imported and became CEO ruined what was Qantas long ago. He may have kept profits going for the shareholders but all else ... I have friends who flew for 15 years and more as cabin crew and crew chiefs and they hated this fella and what he did to the airline. The crew quality fell through the floor and so did the moral and pride. I stopped flying with the big kangaroo internationally years ago too. As for the domestic routes I have used in Oz, as recently as early 2019 and the cabin staff behaviour was atrocious, rude, arrogant, slovenly ... but out of a few choices preferable to the budget version in Oz. I heard nothing but horror stories about the Jstar subsidiary, shockingly unreliable, insane chaos in the terminal in Sydney - all the time. -

Calling anyone “nhoo” is not endearing, especially at work
Tropposurfer replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
We both use it as 'mouse' in our house between us as a term of endearment, love play, and flirting. And outside with kids as described by our learned A.N. colleagues. -
How gross ... yuck???? processed white flour fried accompanied by a way too sugar overloaded iced tea - perfect for weight gain, smoothing out the digestive tract, NOT waking your immune system up, and promoting late onset diabetes ... lol ???????????????? Fresh fruit, or maybe fresh squeezed fruit juice with some lime of lemon juice added, natural muesli and plain natural yogurt maybe a bit of natural honey if ya need sweet. I/we often have fresh fresh coconut water in the mornings as the delicious things are growing all around us ???? Protein e.g fresh, organic nice orange yolked egg/s Maybe a bit of avocado on sourdough with the egg. I ya like salmon maybe a bit of the smoked stuff for the pure protein and the fish oil. Past 50's cut down on carbs as they produce way too much blood sugar and make ya fat! Don't forget a good glass or two of fresh clean H2O after waking.

Have you ever gone more than 48 hours without sleep?
Tropposurfer replied to Tayida's topic in Health and Medicine
Sailing in the Pacific with dad who got acute appendicitis. I had to sail the boat all by myself for nearly 3 days n nights to get to Noumea. Heavy, heavy breaking swell n storms part of that passage too! Adrenalin and all the focus of managing the boat and her not sinking was all consuming. I crashed for days when we got to port. I was very young then so I recovered quickly. Thank the gods for the magnificently seaworthy Swanson 48 is all I can say! -

PM is Satisfied with Progress on Field of Waste Management
Tropposurfer replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Sadly LOS is a waste dump in many places. Koh Chang is a filthy place, both land and water. I love it here and find this so sad. Swimming and seeing the plastic waste everywhere. My home nation is a littering haven too (despite years of campaigns to not litter and fines for doing so) with streets and roadsides littered with food containers or every description. Phuket, my home now, is also slowly drowning in rubbish dumped all over the place. The shocking burning of plastics by many many locals is also shocking and incredibly toxic. We have the most arcane, sparse garbage collection system on the island (if one could laughingly call it a system???).
