  1. I wasn't aware of anyone being forced to except trans people into their daily lives. Is this something you have experienced?
  2. I think the key point in all these incidents where falangs got a beat down is that they were probably avoidable. How many units of intoxication hours in Thailand are represented on this board and how many AN members have been beaten unconscious in a bar dustup? Avoidable, maybe even easily avoidable.
  3. Exactly, I lasted about 3 minutes. It was like the Odyssey with less action.
  4. Imagine if he had kept his promise to end the war in Ukraine on day one. He would probably have his 80% popularity. But he talks big and delivers small to medium.
  5. I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 106 seconds  
  6. I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 104 seconds  
  7. Although you seem very confident I think you are wrong. For example from the US experience with helmet laws: https://www.bellinghamherald.com/news/state/washington/article289278115.html "National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data suggests universal helmet laws reduce motorcycle fatalities by between 22% and 42%, and brain injuries by between 41% and 69%."
  8. Being an independent thinker is something to be proud of. Following the crowd, not so much.
  9. Interesting, I hadn't expected this response. So you don't deny molesting dogs?
  10. "do you just like to be disagreeable" That seems to be the heart of the matter.
  11. Based on the evidence so far... zero. I can ask with an equal quantity of evidence "How many dogs has Yagoda molested this week?" See how easy that was? You have no evidence of "paid Democrat shills and activists" and I have no evidence of you interfering with dogs. Anyone can make baseless innuendos.
  12. I'm looking for them now. I saw one yesterday, an ice cream vendor. I'll keep looking.
  13. "Only way not to see loads of them daily would be to never leave your home." Maybe where you live this is true. I don't see them in the Bangkok suburb where I live and work. I understand it's more like a veranda or a porch than a sidecar LOL. I guess they are common in some areas.
  14. And the food carts sidecar is for passengers? I don't mean to be argumentative but that is the issue right? Helmets for sidecar passengers?
  15. Saw that. I seldom see a motorcycle with a sidecar. Are they very common?
  16. Some cannot consider a collared shirt with short sleeves as they don't want to deny the world the sight of their lovely tattoos.
  17. Hey I have an idea: Try that here.
  18. I'm sure you could go on but it has already been pointless so good that you stopped.
  19. "Then there are the tattoos" I think a dull-witted old guy thinks a tattoo will make him look "hip and dangerous". Maybe give him that "bad boy" vibe that chicks dig so much. To me old guys with tattoos look like twits (or is it tw?ts?). Re: vocabulary has AN been acquired by "The Lady's Home Journal"?
  20. You don't think they look hip and cool? I would also include old guys with turned around ball caps and with earrings. Sad attempts to be "cool"/
  21. If you google "at what grade level is judicious a vocabulary word?" you will get results varying from 8th to 11th grade, so middle school to high school. If you Google "is judicious in their approach a stock phrase?" you get: "While "judicious in their approach" is not a stock phrase with a fixed, idiomatic meaning, it is a readily understandable and widely used way to describe a sensible and well-considered method. " So not surprising that a English speaker that (at least) completed high school would know and use this word and phrase. To be in awe of the word is a bit unusual I think.
  22. I have one that bugs me. I take a taxi to work 5 days a week. The inability of a significant percentage of taxi drivers to find my condo is a mystery to me. It is located 1 km off Ramkhamheang Rd., take one main soi and make 1 left turn and you are there. The security guard calls me a taxi and sometimes 2 taxis cancel because they can't find the place. Sometimes I can see the taxi stopping in the middle of the soi and apparently giving up and turning around unable to continue another 200 meters. Grab charges a 20 baht flat fee on a 60 baht fare and often no Grab taxis are available in my area when needed so I rarely use Grab. The taxi drivers always show up with a little scrap of paper with directions on it from the dispatcher. The drivers are unable to find the condo on a regular basis, I would say on the order of one out of ten. What I can't figure out is why the dispatcher considers this acceptable and doesn't try to improve the directions given. Only needs go "east on Ramkhamheang, left on soi xx0, after 600 meters left on soi 1x. Continue 400 meters Condo on the left." Alternatively, my condo is on Google maps, only need to enter the name of the condo to get directions. I don't get it.
  23. Some of us know before and so are still alive not having engaged in ridiculously reckless behavior.
