I would be ok with this if Thailand offered viable alternatives.  It's even harder to open a bank account in the Philippines.  However, they have viable alternatives such as GCash and Maya Pay.  Nothing like that in Thailand where I can transfer money directly into them from Wise and take out cash from an ATM, bypassing more middlemen and more fees.  The only way to do that in Thailand is with a brick and mortar bank account.

I just heard about tagthai. Could be what you're looking for.

I think the issue most people have is the transing kids and with allowing men in girls and women's showers and sports. I do not see it as a gay issue. 

 

Maybe you do, but I do not think you, or gays in general support this stuff, but your activists seem to. You guys need to get on the right side of this issue. 

 

All the vulgar parades and whatnot aren't heling your cause either. Most people do not want to see that stuff, particularly with their kids.

Much ado about nothing.

Despite earlier denials, aid was shut down for several days.

Another Musk hater turned spit swapper.  It’s the latest trend.

Nonsense, I and I think many, don't like either.

Oh, really. And you know this how? Is it because this administration is like a strong ship with watertight compartments, ensuring no one spills any beans and OPSEC is maintained?

So despite Musk working closely with Trump and senior WH staff for months he wouldn't have picked up a single bean?

That level of naivety in a child would have been cute. In a (presumably) grown-up it's disturbing.

 

 

 

It doesn't matter, the cult doesn't care.

Why don't the headlines tell the truth when the story is real? I fixed it for them. 

The headline tells the truth, your correction not.

just ask and you get it  555  but I posted a couple more links on other answers, that's called Trump got screwed or royally screwed by his own supporters

 

Trump Pardoned Proud Boy Leaders. Now They’re Suing the Government.

The conviction still stands. But as usual trump blathered too much, his own words ' a grave injustice has been done ' used against the US.

Why would "common decency" allow for an illegal alien gang-banger to stay in the country? 

 

Incidentally, has there been any discussion of where Kilmar Abrego Garcia was working? 

 

Has his employer been in the news talking about what a great employee he was? 

People with common decency will understand.

So, if he's not convicted, he can just be deported again. 

 

He's an illegal alien. 

If he's not convicted, common decency would keep the guy in the US. So yes, probably the trump government would try to get him deported.

That's an interesting titbit, got a link to this? I would like to read more about this.

PS; If the Yanks have a "kill switch" why can't the Swedes have one?

I don't believe there's a kill switch, but do believe bully politics could be an issue, especially with maintenance.

The red poppy is not the same gesture as the homosexual rainbow at all. They might be performative gestures but one is to honour and remember our families who died in the wars before us. The gay rainbow is a very modern symbol and is about the the right to the expression of sexual pleasure in which there is no sacrifice.

I agree they're not the same gesture.

But this statement is poppycock.

"The gay rainbow is a very modern symbol and is about the the right to the expression of sexual pleasure in which there is no sacrifice."

Never going to happen.

Nobody will ever know how the conversation went but my suspicion is the Thais were looking for an indication of net income rather than gross.

At the end of the day, a tax liability cannot be construed as income.

Some embassies are still issuing income letters. The issue is the embassy has to be able to verify the stated information.

If there is anything, and it were released, would anyone trust it to be unredacted?

Why are there so many more trans kids then there were 100 years ago? 

 

The "more educated" you refer to are generally leftist academics and advocates. Promoting one thing over another does not make you "open minded". that's just leftist rhetoric. 

 

Do you not see special events and calibrations and whatnot as promotional?  

 

I do not think for a moment that you want to trans kids, but pretending no one is trying is trans kids, many even with good intent, puts you on the wrong side of this issue. 

Noone is promoting to trans kids. I really don't understand the obsession some have with LGBTQ.

That said, i agree with the headline, the message gets lost in the execution.

so !! Putin retaliates and send missiles to civilian zones killing more innocent people, why isn't Zelensky doing the same, why does Ukraine only targets military sites, I am for the one eye for one eye,  Zelensky should target any site in Russia regardless if it's military or not, he should do as the Russians do, close your eyes and shoot/push the button and will see where it lands, scare the shxxxxxxttt of the Russians, stop being the nice guy because whatever Ukraine does Putin calls it an act of sabotage and whatever Russians do it's an act of what??? murdering ??

I think ultimately striking civilians doesn't help Ukraine. Stick to military targets, all over Russia but especially those that form a direct threat to Ukraine. That also includes military personnel all over Russia.
