  1. Did this really take that long to finalise or is it a rehash of an old story. As others said bad unfair review but overreaction by hotel that had been likely costly. Hotel is now called Sylvan and ironically appears to be a sponsor of Tripadvisor and gets listings at the top. Love this hotel though.
  2. Being serious for the 30 seconds it takes to write this.. you may not like Democrats for Gender issues or the border .. fair enough... but in fact the interest of Trump topics is in fact not some sort of Trump derangement but the psychology of how posters can really think after all that is happened that Trump is good for anything. Hard to get your head around. Back to topic I went from three circles connected by sticks ... a molecule? ... to a white star not long ago.. from 8/14 to 9/14 .. if you care then Jingthing is the one to aspire to having a crown and 13/14.
  3. It might come down to how keen your son is - is he not into it and is happy to find a way out or is he super keen. Could be good for confidence. Could be bad if he gets beat up badly but he'll feel he had a go. Could be bad physically as you say. Tough one.
  4. Delete Had a post about those who don't believe in vaccines but believe weird stuff but best not go there.
  5. He opened up and told a story we can all relate to a little bit. In your thread about fighting. Even noted a solution in his case. Not very chill Mr Stoner.
  6. Soon as they mention George Soros you know you have someone in deep - evidence of a link between the two would be nice.
  7. Not sure what makes you dislike Biden so much. Pretty normal traditional president. The stuff about his supposed corruption and receiving payments have been proven totally false this week in case your media did not show it. Old but not his fault. Some on far left a bit woke but not mainstream policy as a rule or Biden. Biden not doing a lot for Palestinians, which appears to be something important for you, but surely better than Trump would do. As a fellow antipodean not sure where such a dislike comes from.
  8. My 2 cents on MSNBC that was recently added to my pay tv. TONE: Clearly biased to a certain narrative. Kind of corny in the righteous approach. CONTENT: Often pretty good. Often a more substantial deeper analysis than other competition. Fact checked.
  9. Awful lot spent at Mara Lago and his golf clubs in his presidency - not huge in the scheme of things but puts him in a poor light. He stuffed up dealing with Covid which of course had a bad effect on the economy. Payments a huge cause of inflation. Not blaming him for covid or saying payments were wrong but he was no economic whizz kid. Don't get this notion of Biden as a war monger. Stopped Afghanistan - botched but stopped none the less. Not responsible surely for Putin's actions and Hamas. Can question long term influence and effects but that's not particular to Biden.
  10. Melbourne's nice too. A bit warmer. As I plan to go to Thailand and read all the wonderful things about it on this site it does make you appreciate home a bit. Maybe 50 50.
  11. I don't disagree but, it's all been said before, but it's that equal justice and protections under the law principle. As an outsider I see a stirring need for Trump to be taken to account on things he has done. There's many reasons I don't like Trump - over valuing properties to get bigger loans where they were all paid back is at the lower end. I am playing devil's advocate to ask something - would have this and some other charges been pursued if it wasn't Trump. Not sure. I would personally focus criticism of Trump supporters on things like their acceptance of his support of dictators, trashing of democratic principles e.g. accepting outcome of elections etc etc. Though they should accept he did the wrong thing in this case I wouldn't consider it unreasonable for them to raise the issue of possible bias in the steps leading to todays findings.
  12. Yeah ... but .. I would put the cases against him in 2 categories as many do. January 6, Georgia election stuff, I would include the Mar a Lago documents too because of the way he went about it. Serious. No doubt appears a strong case that had to be a thing based on objective law. This one, the upcoming one on hush payments, I would put as a real thing, consistent with law, but definitely an issue if the same charges - and the penalties for today's one - would have been pursued on the average joe. I like it but there is an argument....
  13. In the bigger picture I wonder if this begins to eat away at Trump's reputation even amongst his fans - he always seemed to have an allure amongst his base of somehow playing 3 dimensional chess and never having consequences until recently. Second is the moral argument. Is the the fact that charges had been laid on a fairly common occurrence, without actual victims, and the huge size of the penalty an indication of unreasonable bias. Could it tar all cases against him to the public as being motivated by bias. If it is based on some bias, is it bad to fight fire with fire, if your opponent uses every dirty trick of legal and other manipulation, to avoid consequences. Or are the charges and penalty fair and it is more his high profile that makes it noteworthy.
  14. Assume you have a reason to go by Singapore - bought Melbourne Bangkok return direct recently on Jetstar for AUD $700 including meals, luggage, and free change of ticket. Cattle class but for shorter flights no big deal as far as I am concerned - happy to spend on good accommodation.
  15. She wants you to feel like a hero, the best man ever, and hopes that you won't want that feeling to go away. Tell her she knows she's been on a good gig and that you hope she enjoyed it but now it's 20000 a month or whatever. She'll not be happy but likely adapt fast. That's assuming you are still getting something you want and want to pay at all.
  16. I think as we get closer to the election people will remember the chaos and silliness of Trump - comments like today on NATO kind of stuff - and people will pick an elderly not 100 per cent but stable Biden.
  17. The premise of NATO isn't like an electricity bill that you all pay the full amount or lose your access. It is fair to ask that people pay but Trump's cavalier comments put the whole stability of NATO on shaky ground and of course gives Putin a good further reason to want a Trump win in 2024.
  18. Most fresh fruit and vegetables in Australian supermarkets is from Australia. Over 90 per cent for Coles and Woolworths.
  19. Can you please expand on Putin being a calm and reasonable humanitarian. A reply to Woof999's comments would be nice.
  20. People's opinions is all. Part of freedom. No one stopping it happening or stopping people watch it. Not sad. Sad is when a leader controls his people with no option but him as leader or freedom to speak their mind including a stymied press. That's sad.
  21. I remember he said he is not a big traveller. He said something to the effect that he could not see himself on a dusty bus full of people and chickens in Africa or something. Nor did he want to do action stuff like skiing. Could relate to that a bit. Not sure why you are being so harsh. He does some good clever stuff on politics and is good at taking Trump to task - he picked that he wouldn't accept losing long before the election - to the point that Trump mentions him sometimes as a loser comedian or something which has to be a compliment. Yes I mentioned Trump.
  22. How do you go with the pollution. You do make that part of Chiang Mai sound pretty good. Spending 2 and a half months in Thailand in a few months including a month in Jomtiem with and without my girlfriend to see if I love it or hate it. Went to Phuket 6 months ago and enjoyed Phuket town and Patong hadn't changed that much in 10 years though more development. Maybe the trick is to go in low season when it is not so busy.
  23. I didn't think this bit was one of his better bits - the usual America is better and freer than you think bit. Boring other interview about racism in 2023 etc . The discussion of Joe Biden on the panel and the intro jokes was good. I could wax lyrical about why I think Bill has gone a bit downhill in the last 12 months but I'll leave it there.
  24. Nothing much gained in hearing the same old stuff. Staying quiet when the person says things you think are not correct is letting the person make a speech not an interview. In a country with such limited freedoms in elections and the press, for example, surely you need to go a bit hard when talking to the leader. Without necessarily being rude and shutting them down. There's ways to do things.
