Yes, the noble Che. I have met Cuban exiles in US who call him "the murderer". So as you say, two opinions. A Thai acquaintance told me that she thought most kids wearing Che t-shirts think he is a rockstar.

This reminds me of the Christian protests against "Life of Brian" gave Monty Python massive free publicity. Many who have not known about this shop will now stop in and shop. Like me, I like wacky t-shirts. I agree with the poster who said that if you don't like the shirts buy them and burn them. Put a little money where your mouth is. Not pointless in any event, this little kerfuffle should benefit the shop.

Don't forget Coca Cola, said to be legally available in all but 2 nations on earth (Cuba and North Korea) and said to be available on the down low in those two.

Just curious, you know what a parody is right?

Had Primeburger from Foodpanda delivery the other day. Good burger, really tasty. Had the cheeseburger, "Paris burger" if I remember right.

Not higher ground, accurate use of language and ideas.

Some things you just can't argue with: "people walk with their feet" Can't be said any plainer. (jk)

Not true. McDonalds has a value menu many items are about 3$ and second item same for 1$. Other fast food places have similar pricing at about $3. To save money at fast food places in the US you have to order what Is on offer at discount prices which can vary day to day. I used to spend my work days driving around Los Angeles and I not infrequently ate at fast food places. Prices have gone up, that is true but it isn't a sign of the apocalypse. (Or should I say tacolypse?). It is true that the McDonalds Filet-o-fish is now $4.59, $4.59 x 3 = 13.77 so it is getting close to what you say for those sandwiches.

Losing a cushy government job after you voted for Trump could cause someone to torch a Tesler or two (intentional Trumpese spelling). Don't you think? As far as Occam's razor, some AN posters like to invoke it to give their opinions a shiny new interpretation, but it usually doesn't apply. The clearest example of Occam's razor is the selection of explanations for planetary movement between the geocentric and heliocentric models of the solar system. The geocentric explanation required a complex system of retrograde motion and various complications that were not needed by the heliocentric model. The principle is that the least complex solution that explains the phenomenon is to be preferred. What Occam's razor is not, is reaching a conclusion that agrees with your preconceived notions or your personal opinoins on what is most probable. Posters on AN like to try to legitimize their conclusions by stating they applied Occam's razor when they don't understand what Occam's razor is.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 30/100 My Time 83 seconds  

The private school kids are smart as can be. The parents are rich and intend that their kids will be rich as well. Government schools? I don't know, not all are bad I guess.

"Maybe Trump read Clavell's Shogun..." Well I understand you are not seriously suggesting that this occurred, but just the words "Maybe Trump read" sound so absurd. Had to laugh.

Watching a video would not change a person's personal experience would it?

I would like to see a scoring system similar to Olympic gymnastics which could be used to score the drunken antics leading to arrest. On a 0 - 10 scale I put this guy at 8.5 because of the dramatic underwear pose which I think elevated his performance.

Yes well I can see by your level-headed response in this discussion that you are not the type to overreact and cause your self needless trouble. We may get to the facts of this occurrence but the victim was reluctant to discuss it so probably not.

I certainly didn't mean to trigger you, you obviously had some difficulty understanding my post after your trigger went off. I didn't defend Thais at all. Your examples of a land dispute or lending money maybe have autobiographical significance to you but have nothing to do with the current discussion which is about encounters between strangers. The point in a late night encounter between strangers is that often they are avoidable. Sorry the bad Thais did bad things to you.

Yes, well if you can't afford it many swear by the ham and cheese sandwich offered by 7-11.

You have to go to the sacred cow of "defense spending". Hegseth has been crowing about starting to do that but he is cutting HR programs and leaving the weapons R&D bucks untouched. Even, announcing a new fighter development project when Musk has announced that manned fighters are obsolete. Weapons R&D are the big dollar projects. When he starts to audit them I'll start to believe.

The original post mentions events that might well be explained by increased volume as people panic over the threat to SS that Musk represents. He said possibly the biggest fraud in history but so far I don't think any significant fraud has been uncovered. Sadly going to the SSA website won't really give any information that could reassure one.

I don't know, a night out with a bit of free spending can easily go through 15k. I'm a cheap Charlie in general, but if you are going out in Pattaya night life ... well in for a penny, in for a pound.

"Do suspect it wasn't just a random beating of a stranger minding his own business. " Agree absolutely. Absolutely, it never is (OK never say never). Did the report say the German didn't know what started it off? "he was unsure of the attack's details" or didn't want to say. I am curious to know what the initiating incident was.

I am not a decent person and not sure I know any. However, I too am usually asleep by 4 AM, not sure what it has to do with this story. I can get my indecency out of the way before 4AM. Are you one of those who renounces Satan and all his works? All his works? That has always seemed so extreme to me. You seem to be saying that only decent people deserve safety, again, seems extreme.
