Walz. He's got that demographic thing going. A good balance. Shapiro very possible, though.

Anything can happen anywhere.

It was a terrible documentary.

Apple is a terrified corporation. They are afraid of losing any sales. 

Honestly, it was pretty terrible at humor. Over the top weirdness. The humor is a bit past its prime in this new day and age. It doesn't work either way. Last I heard, Apple was an international brand now. 

It would have been funny if like one of them fell out of a tuk-tuk and had an Indiana Jones moment and trying to get back in. Something that would appeal to anyone and just incidental in terms of the situation. This ad is kind of one-sided us agaist them thing.

Edit: added two sentences.

A lot of expats who moved a while ago have fond memories of an American left and a Democratic Party that no longer exist.  And all they watch is the MSM, which is intent on normalizing behaviors that were taboo just a few years ago.

 

That goes for both parties. I'd voted Dem forever, but they are now stuck to blind ideology. Boths sides are generally intolerant now. Not sure if I'll vote, but thats if...won't say. 

Thailand changing and open to criticism? I never leave bad reviews. Only positive, if warrented. Anyone can have an off day.

WTF?

The banks covering their Rsses against bad publicity?

Filing a police report is required by companies in the USA before filing a dispute for something like a package you didn't receive. The normal business process.

What an inspipid show. Loud, crass, over the top to make sure you get it.

These people are just incapable of excepting responsibility. They always have to blame someone or something else for all their own failings. 2 year olds have to be supervised 100% of the time. He clearly didn't do that and should be man enough to pay the price.

Yes, but...I have two children and when they were really young, 2-5 years old, in particular, they could disappear in a flash. Go to the store, turn your head, they are gone. Unless they are put on a leash or in a cage, its pretty hard to watch a kid 24/7, unless they are inside with you. I watched my kids like a hawk. The grandfather could have just turned to grab something and poof, the kid as run off.

The truth is that the Democrats had planned to throw Biden under the bus as early as 2022.  They saw the cognitive decline.  Hell, I saw it as early as 2020.  They knew.  This whole dog and pony show was choreographed down to the last detail.  Watching the CNN and MSDNC crew falling all over themselves

to express their amazement at how Biden had declined was disgusting.  Anyone anywhere close to him knew it.  If I could see it on TV, the people close to him knew it all along.   The interesting part is how will they get rid of the dunce who couldn't even win her own state in the 2020 primary.  Leave it to the un-Democratic Party to find a way.  They rigged 3 straight primaries and I'm sure this upcoming Convention will be full of shenanigans that will include everything but a vote by the electorate.  How democratic.

The Constitution was designed that way. There is no direct election president. There is no direct choice of candidate. Delegates can vote for anyone they want. The Founders were fearlful of tyranny of the masses.

Same for Trump. No one was going to challenge him because they already decided who was going to be the candidate.

It does suck that someone like Bernie was shut down when he had the delegates. 

I totally agree that was the plan. It's no surprise that Kamala was right out the gate swinging. I don't think Obama knew, though. Heard he was not happy with what happened and feel she can't win.

With Trump team beating on old Joe for years and especially this year, they had only one plan and it was focused on Joe. With full peak, full momentum, they did pull the rug out from under him.

Whether that's what happened or not, I'm sure it was Biden's Plan B, of course. He's been going downhill. And Trump is floudering and likely listening to no one on his team.

Trump and Shady Vance have been really terrible at crowds, on camera. Truly awful. Interesting if either pull out or quit in order to beat Kamala.

If she's a beauty queen, I'd hate to see who they consider ugly.

He looks just like Chet Hanks, Tom Hanks' wild child.

Robberies are happening on daily basis in Bangkok committed by thais not foreigners. Its a big city after all. a bunch of columbians in possession of screwdrivers? a drop in the ocean of crimes.

Robberies or burglaries?

Body doesn't like carbs and processed foods, anymore. Bread, beer, noodles, wine...just don't feel good after having any of it.

And Vegas is a family destination. It's not a lot of gambling...or other nighttime activities. Ok that campaign failed.

What's the books about? I missed him by 2 days in one city. Was going to say hello. Seems a nice guy. 

Both have Pattaya as a setting. Five Go to Pattaya is a real rollercoaster of a book. It's fun and he has lots of complex dialogue and story lines. Not complicated, just complex. Nothing too hard. Twists and turns. I'm still working on the second book.

Do you know him? I followed his videos a bit.

I have watched him on and off over the years, recently finished a book he wrote, and reading another of his. He's a good writer.

Once again, a childish post. 

 

We've seen plenty like you. The problem is, in your delirium, you cannot be helped. 

 

And not Thai lady has "screwed" me. I'm famed for warning against the utter arrogance and stupidity you are displaying on this thread. Quite simply, its pitiful. 

My comment here is in the wrong place, but saw that you'd requested the Steady Eddy thread be closed last month, that his operation was a "success." Steady Eddy has a new video and he's not doing well. His operation in Thailand barely stabilized him and he was barely fit to fly. Lost movement in his right side and the growth in his brain has increased. Sorry that the thread had to be closed before all was said and done. His doctors back home are convening on what to do. 

Hopefully, no one jumps down my throat for commenting here.

Great information. Appreciated. Does this whole process work interchangeably for us citizens as well?

That's pretty neat. I still remember one evening in Missouri in army basic training and seeing fireflies. Would love to see some glowworms.

Downwind in America?

downwid locations please sir., jk.

We are in Seattle area,but went camping to Eastern WA a lot of wildlife like this. Will try to upload some phone shots of a large crane.

Any country, people die in the USA or are seriously injured on amusement rides. No thanks.
