Even worse than the appearance of impropriety is the "We don't give a sh!t WHAT you think. Now go and eat some cake" attitude they all have.

Dear gawd - you have WAY too much time on your hands.

Chanthaburi bone dry as well.

Any time I see such a huge number of arrests, I am reminded of the time the Philippine dictator did something similar, whether or not they were guilty. I am NOT defending illicit drugs, but I can't help but think innocent people who the local gendarmes didn't like got swept up in these raids.

See what happens when you legalize weed?

Yeah, their online app is completely pedantic. I found one year that everything worked and made a copy for use in all continuing reports. It's been working fine for years.

I worked with a black teacher, quite the gentleman. He took Thai lessons in his free time, and when he realized what Thai people were saying about him, he confronted them in their own language. That didn't slow them down one bit, they just kept trash talking him. As well, I know of a school director in charge of six large schools, and she has put the word out in no uncertain terms they are NOT to hire black teachers, regardless of how desperate they are for teachers or how qualified the teacher may be.

Are these high ticket items? If so, what makes them sacred and can I turn cheap amulets into sacred amulets so I can make a bundle selling them?

One of his basic principles was to bring democracy to this government. Compromising is backing down. There is NOWHERE on this planet that democracy was just handed over by governments that were NOT democratic.

Start with those guys wearing orange vests.

If he's not willing to fight for democracy then he is the wrong guy.

Give the powers that be a chance, they'll get to it.

CNN recently got called out for doing a complete 180 regarding the twice impeached twice (with more to come) indicted international embarrassment.

Wha wha wha wha . . . CNN is just about as bad as that other NOT-news bunch of liars you mentioned.

He's been around too long. His skin is MUCH too thick to care about this triviality.

I totally disagree. I believe they absolutely DO get it. They just don't care.

How do you come up with that? This was a poll of 12,000 people world-wide. Is this just a swipe at Americans?

Aren't there orange vest stands on just about every corner? More prolific than 7/11's?

The ultimate gamble - risking your liberty doing illicit online stuff for max ฿100k a month? This goes right into the "dumb criminals" file.

Sorry, but when I saw this article ranked Mexico as #1, I knew it was pure bologna.

That was around 2006. Now they have gone downhill and hire mediocre acts.

At the time I was working for Royal Caribbean, they had some world class entertainment. Cirque du Soleil performed nightly (and OMG do those folks know how to party!!!) as well as great large and small musical treats. Sadly, the biggest draw was always karaoke. Blech! Then I went on a cruise as a guest - the entertainment went downhill, and this was pre-Covid. any more, it is a week of gluttony and staving off boredom after the first few days.

I believe the OP is quoting a lower-to-mid-level cabin, basically a closet with a bed squeezed in and tiny stand-up shower stalls. The ports are all tourist traps. There isn't enough time to travel beyond and be sure you'll get back in time to make the debark. Go on a cruise, they are a GREAT way to spend a week or two. Again, three years? HELL no!

The food on a cruise ship like Royal Caribbean is exquisite. I would regularly have smoked salmon, eggs, toast, and some of the best coffee in the world for breakfast, other meals just as tasty, and there were also hot dog palaces and pizza slices available almost all day long. My job allowed me to eat with the guests. It wasn't the food, it was the routine. Same damned thing every day. Pull in to a port, go look at the city (I worked at night so I could go out every day), then pull up anchor and do it all over again in a different city. UTTERLY BORING after a month or two! And to think of doing it for three years? Nope.

They're working on it. The wheels of justice go very slow, and in my heart of hearts I believe Merrick Garland was slow rolling any indictments for political reasons, hoping any proceedings would just go away by themselves. Then the Jan 6 commission got busy, went public, and DOJ couldn't hide their head in the sand any more. The delays may still have bad repercussions. I hope both I and that twice impeached twice indicted train wreck live long enough to him get his just desserts.
