Would you cover for your grandson?
HappyExpat57 replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
No, I have a kid and the best lesson he ever learned was when I kicked him out of the house. He was living in his car for months and that stuck with him. If he did something like KILLING someone, even unintentionally, he would have to pay that price. Life is tough. It's even tougher if you can't look yourself in the mirror. -

Absolutely NOT under any circumstances. If the twits put themselves in compromising situations, they can dig themselves out. If they learn that they will get bailed out, then in their minds there are no consequences for their actions and they continue being twits. Red bull comes to mind . . . -

More Lazada PC / website annoyance - Or is it just me?
HappyExpat57 replied to Crossy's topic in General Topics
Latest Chrome no longer remembers my Lazada login info either. My gut feeling is they want us to use the cell app so they no longer have to manage servers for us pc users. That's what SCB did, and I find that to be a nuisance. I DON'T like the SCB app and miss the convenience of the pc interface. -
Lazada Wallet - reality check. Can foreigners use it?
HappyExpat57 replied to connda's topic in General Topics
At first it didn't work for me. Then about 1 year ago I got a refund for a purchase that I paid for but the vendor was unable to provide. The refund went into my wallet, and I was able to use that for further purchases. I believe they're slowly getting with the program. -
US English teacher arrested for sexual relation with 16 y/o student
HappyExpat57 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I remember when I was 16, I was madly in love with my high school Biology teacher. In retrospect, she was not at all attractive, but the inherent power a teacher has over a student is not a thing to EVER be taken advantage of. I have 4 students who are absolutely in love with teacher, and no way in HELL will I ever be caught alone in a room with them. It's cute, it's flattering, and it's utterly wrong! If this guy REALLY wanted to pursue an actual relationship then he would need to transfer to another school, negotiate with the parents, and I'd also say get his head examined.- 416 replies

Any time something like this happens, the little paranoid voice in my head says the powers that be are mucking about, fiddling with nationwide access/control.

This really will be a test of the legal system. Don't have laws if you aren't going to apply them to ONE AND ALL!

What a rotten shame! This man was on top of the world with how he managed the 9/11 attack. Goes to show, you hitch your wagon to a turd, you're gonna get poop on you. Once he's convicted (yadda yadda yadda, "innocent 'til proven guilty," the man is guilty and we all know it), he will spend the rest of his days in jail, and there's no coming back from that for him.

Trump trial in Fulton County will be televised, judge says
HappyExpat57 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
What a very sad comment but not unexpected from you. I believe this is the very definition of trolling. If I gave two poops, I'd report it, but I think it's better as a testament to the quality of the person behind that gray curtain of internet anonymity. -

Naaaaah, that's Fox NOT-news tripe. He's going down little by little in the polls. Nikki Haley put it so succinctly when she said "the GOP party can’t win a general election with Donald Trump as the nominee." Ya boyz goin' DOWN! -

The REAL question - will 45 supporters continue to deny even though the facts are laid out in real time living color? Will the Sean Hannity's or Tucker Carlsons of the world cut and past the videos to contradict what is actually going on? I was surprised and hold on to hope when I saw the Repubs publicly admonish Tucker's bogus rendition of the Jan 6 footage he received from that spineless Speaker. Time will tell. -
Not stupidity. The FIRST thing that happens to a young person as soon as they turn 18 - they are bombarded with credit card offers: Sure! Borrow $5000 (fine print: 27% interest over 5 years). Monthly payment will only be $150 and LOOK AT ALL THE COOL STUFF you can get. Young people look at that as free money. Then it dawns on them, they can get ANOTHER credit card, THIS time $10,000! And the cycle continues, they are now enslaved to the banks, living paycheck to paycheck. On top of that, it's near impossible to get a decent job without a degree. When most of us duffers were growing up, you could work a part time job and still afford getting a degree while sharing an apartment with 2 or 3 others, living on Ramen noodles, but you got a degree without this huge debt looming upon graduation. This game got rigged years ago and young people today have basically surrendered to a hopeless future. YOLO is a way of life for the majority. Paycheck to paycheck is the norm.
