Much like the hundreds of thousands of other expats who never read AN-news I expect. Imagine a Thailand without this web site and no one would even be discussing TINs or changes in tax laws of which there are no changes. Don't you think if something had changed for expats authorities would go out of their way to inform said expats and not assume they all read AN-news.

Biden's Final Farewell: A Stark Warning for America

Social media algorithms can create echo chambers where people see only information that confirms their existing beliefs. This can reinforce partisan narratives and tribalism that can make no sense. -

Baht bus brawl: Phuket driver and foreign man row over fare

He could have been from any one of over 200 countries - why the stereotyping? -
I would suggest picking a conspiracy theorist over science for health secretary shows the electorate now display a lack of critical thinking skills, from years of disinformation campaigns and social media echo chambers have eroded trust in reliable sources of information. That is clear also on forums like this which leads to tribalism in the US where many voters now see politics as a zero-sum game where its either “owning the libs” or “defeating the MAGA crowd”. Schools have a responsibility here as well. People today are often digitally savvy but lack the critical thinking skills necessary to distinguish reliable information online from fake news or conspiracy theories.

“Vaccine shedding” is a term you’ll sometimes hear, but it’s often misunderstood and misused. The idea behind it is that people vaccinated against a certain disease can somehow “shed” the disease and infect unvaccinated people. However, that’s not possible with the COVID-19 vaccine. Let me explain why in simple terms: Vaccines work by stimulating your body’s immune response, so it can recognize and fight off a virus if you’re exposed to it. Claims of vaccine shedding have often been linked to fears or conspiracy theories about mRNA or spike proteins spreading and causing harm to unvaccinated individuals. There is no scientific evidence to support these claims. Spike proteins produced as a result of mRNA vaccines are not infectious and cannot replicate or spread to others.

Thaksin Under Fire: Racist Remarks in Chiang Rai Spark Outrage
Hamus Yaigh replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Its sad you don't understand racist hate speech. Just look up the speech on the net - from it translated as "… and noses are so flat… difficult to breath… but apparently, they’re hired to be world class models, making millions… but our people are better looking…" doesn't seem like free speech to most reasonable thinking people. -
I suppose the irony is lost on you. We all know what happens when Trump loses. 2021 ring any bells in that hollow head?

Foreign men attack Phuket taxi driver over fare dispute - video
Hamus Yaigh replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I cannot understand it! As much as I despise Phuket and its taxis, if as a customer you cannot pay with the current currency then the added inconvenience is on the passenger and any additional costs. Isn't that how the entire world works? -
It must be tormenting waking up each day trolling for conspiracy theories to spout off ad infinitum? Like a never-ending rabbit hole of suspicion and paranoia, where every event is viewed through a lens of conspiracy and hidden agendas. For a conspiracy theorist, it's not just a hobby or something they do occasionally—it's a worldview that colors everything they encounter. They spend their days scouring the internet, combing through obscure sources, and connecting seemingly unrelated events to construct a narrative that fits their preconceived notions.

Russia Dismisses Proposed Peace Deal from Trump Transition Team
Hamus Yaigh replied to Social Media's topic in World News
This is of course utterly absurd. While it's true that Russia's military forces are sizable, the idea that they could afford to lose 100,000 troops and still be able to replace them is extremely unlikely. Even Russia, with its huge population and conscription policies, would struggle to sustain such losses without significant impact on the country's economy and morale. History suggests that dictatorships like Putins are inherently unstable and often fail in the long run. There are many factors at play, including: Economic instability, corruption and human rights abuses. There can only be one outcome to Putin's folly. -
The above could be viewed as a case of the pot calling the kettle black. While you may be pointing out issues that some Americans may perceive with the Democratic Party, many of the issues they mention could be seen as flaws in the Republican Party as well. For example, crime rates in Republican-led states like Texas and Florida have also increased, and the Republican Party has been criticized for stoking fears about migrants and transgender individuals without proposing meaningful solutions. So, it could be seen as hypocritical to accuse the Democrats of being "toxic" when the Republican Party has its own share of problems. Wouldn't it be more productive as a country to share common values that most humans aspire to instead of spreading hateful bile?
