  1. Not too make this endless, but the subject is violence in Thailand by farangs so...
  2. I think he made that pretty clear though not apparently to you. Can you not see he is describing prisons in Western countries? "I've seen guys like this scream and cry when prison was just mentioned. when the got there they really <deleted> it. and that's in a prison with canteens, snackbars, TVs, pool tables."
  3. Saw an interview with Tim Cook (the guy Trump calls Tim Apple) where he said that labor cost in not the main attraction of China. He said that the Chinese labor force has greater skills in manufacturing and surrounding tooling than any other nation. So US couldn't compete in technical manufacturing. Here he is:
  4. Ahhhhh I see. Thank you Sensei. Can I try and snatch the pebble from your hand now?
  5. Ha ha. True. I don't count anymore cuz nobody cares.
  6. " surrounded by mosques and the Muslim culture, instead of scantily clad girls " Stop tempting me.
  7. DM 2 has a genetic component. Not everyone who has risk factors will necessarily get diabetes because some are just lucky with respect to genetics.
  8. Have not seen any proof of Social Security fraud. I know Musk said it was the biggest fraud in history but even Musk saying something 3 times doesn't make it so. USAID seems to have spent money foolishly but again, I haven't seen any evidence of fraud. NGO stands for Non-governmental Organization so I guess that isn't under the category of fraud in government.
  9. Well in all my born days I have alway taken a shine to having food delivered. I like it. You speak as one having authority yet I will continue to do what pleases me.
  10. My notification was just approved after 5 days in pending status. Checked earlier in the day and it was still pending. Not sure but it seems if I apply online at the beginning of the application interval I get approved. If I wait until I get the notice from immigration I don't get approved online. I am relieved cuz I figured if it didn't get approved before Songkran started I would not get approved online.
  11. So since you say "still" I think you correctly attribute some mask wearing to COVID precautions. But before COVID Thai people would wear masks if they had a cold to prevent giving it to others. I notice a high proportion of taxi drivers seem to wear masks, I guess in the confined space of a taxi and being exposed to a lot of people each day it makes sense.
  12. Alex Jones supporter? When you look up can you see contempt?
  13. I object to a 77 year old man being characterized as "elderly". I consider a man age 77 to be best described as "in the prime of life".
  14. Stalinization of the USA. Watch this space for show trials. Although these filings mean little, a law firm asking for criminal investigations. Meh.
  15. Same here. I use Foodpanda frequently, 3 times a week at least. No problems, even sometimes do the scheduled delivery so it gets delivered about the same time I get home from work. Works great. I seldom use Grab just because Foodpanda is more convenient ordering on laptop.
  16. In videos theses troggs are heard pleading "It's a Prank, It's a prank!" as they get their lights punched out. Creeps.
  17. 'hearing an American news reader saying " Unalived him " instead of " killing him ".' Have never heard that one, obviously dumb. But I am skeptical, where did you hear that, a news reader or a YouTuber?
  18. In June of 2023 I decided to try an Android because replacing an iPhone was expensive. I struggled with using the Android and put it down to lack of familiarity. I kept using it and found it difficult to use even after a period of learning. After about 18 months I decided it was just inferior in design and went out and bought an iPhone. Expensive but designed to be easy to use, just a better phone. I think Steve Jobs once said he wanted Apple tech products to be as easy to use a toaster, that is maybe a key, having ease of use as a goal. So happy to be using an iPhone again in spite of the expense.
  19. Non-citizens working in the US may need to have a Social Security Number. The US workforce is around 170 million individuals. So this (2024 figure) represents 1.2% of workers in the US being non-citizens. Clutch your pearls if you must but this is no scandal. This is simple arithmetic, don't even need anything beyond finding a percentage to evaluate this info, but apparently beyond the modest abilities of the OP. Significant numbers of those workers are technically educated and take jobs that the kind of innumerates who think this is a scandal cannot do. (because I know my audience here at AN: Innumerate: a person lacking basic knowledge of mathematics and arithmetic.)
  20. I doubt it with respect to TOPS. TOPS gives a 5% "expat discount" to Americans.
  21. Seems like the wrong thread to take this side of the argument when the foreigner was clearly the aggressor here.
