Trump and his minions have consistently lost elections since his trouncing by Joe. He won't win the 2024 election. What is that definition of insanity? The only real chance Republicans have of returning to the oval is Ambassador Haley who would beat the current White House occupant with one arm tied behind her back. I honestly think the two primary reasons MAGAts support 45 is a childish, foolish attitude of wanting to "own the libs" and tacit racism. It CAN'T be his record while serving, and it REALLY can't be his superior intellect. Go ahead, keep beating your head against the same wall and losing elections while you do. Perhaps the truth will eventually sink in.

Orange jeezuz has roughly 30% of all Republicans in his corner. The REST of the country have retained a few more marbles in their collective heads. He won't ever plop his burgeoning buttocks in that chair behind the resolute desk again. He knows it. and it's scaring the HELL out of him. More and more he appears like a cornered animal.

Again - "Meh."

A couple of weeks ago I was at Makro buying some ground meat. There were 3 or 4 Thais who placed their bags up to be weighed and I placed mine behind theirs. The jerk weighing and pricing the meats did all theirs then stopped before doing mine. He started screwing around on his phone while looking me right at me. He wasn't answering a call, he was just playing around on the phone. I said "screw this" to myself and left the bag there, getting some frozen meat instead. Meh.

Wow, you ARE new. I suggest you grow a thicker hide if you're gonna last long here. Also, learn that a squiggly red line under a word means it's been spelled incorrectly. When you throw insults at members here but spell it wrong, it just looks sad.

I used to work IT. We had several workers and the IT manager getting spun up to justify their existence by supporting an intranet. They caused WAY more work for the engineers at the firm to accomplish their tasks. The employees didn't give two squirts about the "experience" provided by the internal website, they just wanted to get stuff done. I left just as the IT team was rolling out a Business Management System (that's right, BM's 555). They also tried implementing a Fast Action Response Team until I pointed out how farcical the acronym was. Never have I ever been so glad to see a job fading away in my rearview mirror!

Adult Content Creators Arrested for Exploiting Minor
HappyExpat57 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Sad and true. I teach students ages 6-12. Some of the older ones look and act mature one minute, then we're laughing and having a great time dancing to the video "Heads Shoulders Knees & Toes." Kids are kids, let them stay that way as long as possible. -
Adult Content Creators Arrested for Exploiting Minor

With so many hot, young looking women 18+ looking for work in LOS, why the hell would they use minors? If proven to be true, serious punishment should be served. I used to work with abused/neglected children, and there's a look in their eyes that just breaks the heart. Innocence lost, trust almost completely gone, it's just wrong! -
I'm on a pc so emoji's (emoticons) are still available. I have to use the keyboard "Home" key to get back up to the top. I've also noticed the "Topics" on the right hand side of the screen are sporadic - sometimes they're there, and sometimes they're not. From what I remember, this upgrade was to switch to a cloud-based server to provide better service and faster response times. All I've noticed is I frequently have to stop the page and refresh when clicking on a topic cuz it just hangs. Every time someone offers an upgrade, my anus puckers. I recently had to switch to Windows 11 on a work pc and I have never hated an OS as much as this. It takes two to six times as many steps to do what I used to do in one step with Windows 10 and two particularly important (to me, anyway) features were removed intentionally by Micro$oft. Upgrades? If it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT! Still, for what I pay to be a member of AN is cost effective.

I worked with a South African teacher named Elena, pronounced exactly as the Thai phrase. You bet we had some good natured fun with THAT. -

Let's see who lives a happier life. (Hint: it won't be the vermin) -

Hearing loss isn't just volume, you lose the high end first which results in everything sounding muffled. Just sayin'. -

Nope, eff them, I'm not paying a road tax to big stanky vermin. Gas and pellets are cheaper, and they soon learn to leave me alone and I leave them alone. -

Are you sure it's the shows or could your hearing be going? Not a dig, all of us eventually suffer hearing loss if we live long enough. -

You are obviously not a regular bicyclist in LOS. I've been cycling all over Thailand and every time I go out on my push-bike, I take a stick and an air pistol that uses plastic pellets. I have ALWAYS been chased by effing soi dogs. The pistol gives them a sting and is not lethal. With some, it takes more than one shot to get the message home, but they eventually learn to leave this guy alone. I have had Thai people cheering me for doing so. They need to be spayed and brought under control. -
If that was a weak attempt at humor, then it was a miserable fail.
