I feel for him (a little) and even share/understand some of his views, though I choose not to let the young wussy generation's ways bother me one iota. Obviously a life long un(der)educated blue collar drone whose only way to make himself be noticed in his old age is to be the buff tough guy senior citizen who may or may not know how to box a little.

Good. The industry is finally adjusting to reality. Same goes for the whole economy. Outlook for expat life next 15-ish yrs is still rosy^^

Wife of a friend and he is not very good with understanding complicated English. Female, age 50, previously had breast cancer+ mastectomy 7 yrs ago. Recently had a lump grow in her clavicular area. It's a "well known" govt hospital which I personally would not let my dog have his nuts cut off in. Below the biopsy result. Obviously, I know this is bad. Metastatic....malignant.....glandular...... Just trying to get an idea just how bad/lethal and how long(ish). Anyone have an educated (or semi educated) guess? They are talking about chemo, but somehow this feels like a Hail Mary.

Ew.

If statistics matter to you: A therapist. A good divorce lawyer. In no specific order.

Who cares what someone wears in a gym as long as it is appropriate for a gym? Your/you're.........seriously, 3rd grade stuff.

NOGAS

You seem to place a lot of value on being able to fight, and not enough on basic 3rd/4th grade grammar. Especially since your boxing skills are worthless in a country where, unless you know how to defeat 10 attackers at once.

Same boat, for a few similar reasons. About 10 yrs here now, first 7 or so were ok. Lived in the Philippines a long time prior and am now planning a move back there. I will be giving up a pretty nice house/life I had built as well as basically abandoning a decent woman who I love, but am not in love with anymore. Not proud of it, but I know I'll never be truly happy in this country, primarily for cultural reasons. Blame is mine only.

Sum Ting Wong vs. Jonny English.

When over half of the Republican voting population is a mixture of retard (sorry, "under-educated I mean) blue collar "my grand daddy was a miner, my daddy was a miner, and therefore I'm entitled to be an overpaid miner because I'm too stupid to learn to code) trash, what can you expect but the creation of MAGA morons?

EVs in their current iteration are like the scamdemic poison injections that were pushed on us (and loved by the gullible) of a few years ago.

He yelled "moo" at it and Klara got upset at being called a pig/pork.

Put on your trifocals and read what I wrote, gramps!^^😁 BricK (singular) of cash. It weighs nothing, and neither do a few ounces of gold. Ideally small bullion bars so the weight/value is clear.

Depends on size of bag but in general, minimum: 1. Passport 2. Brick of cash + gold 3. Tactical knife or knife/axe combo (in the US, add a Glock 9) 4. Pack of Amoxicillin (broad spectrum antibiotic) 5. Small first aid kit incl. tourniquet 6. Extra sets underwear & socks 7. Charcoal+immodium tablets for water purification/gastrointestinal 8. Power bank 9. Mosquito repellent lotion satchels 10. Nyson high tensile strength rope at least 10m in length strong enough to abseil with but thin enough to fit into bag. 11. Tactical gloves This should all fit into a standard rucksack. If bag is larger, add extra shoes if you have very big feet and are unlikely to be able to wear the shoes of other casualties from the zombie apocalypse you pass by. Tent. Tactical axe.

Possible, but highly unlikely. I've walked through Bung-la road many times on my morning stroll to the beach at 6-7am and there's almost always still a gaggle of 20-30 or so drunks still around who just don't know when to quit, and I basically scan everyone I pass with "Terminator targeting eyes" trying to figure out which one could be a problem. After a while I just circumvented that area altogether on my walks. And recently moved away from the island for good.

I politely avoid all unnecessary interaction with locals who are not family or friends unless an error to my disadvantage has to be politely rectified.

Lol, unlike tourist amateurs, I just pay the exact amount by QR/scan when I already know I'm not going to leave a tip. I tip normal (20) to larger amounts (50-100) at most restos, even when eating alone. I just don't tip at places where I feel that paying more than for the food consumed isn't deserved. Like I said, I think the food there is ok. That's not the problem.

Food is basically alright at CC but I'd never leave a single baht tip there.

Or, just let the govt handle the disposal at zero cost. Can't squeeze water out of a dead diamond.

I don't really worry about returning rental cars with a little more gas in the tank than when I pick them up, so....
