why is it that proctologists are mostly male?

I strongly suspect you never watched the Mike Rowe series Dirty Jobs, most "DIrty Jobs" are left to men ...

She is a Christian, not a muslim.

She's an activist and feminist ... empowered when she speaks and a victim when she is criticized.

Yes

 

Yes.

Your issue stems from trip abroad.

 

Unrelated: I have been bemoaning online reporting (CW) in numerous threads.

So last Nov 5 I did a 90 report in person.

Have not exited Thailand since.

My window (2 weeks prior to due date) opened Tuesday.

I made online report. 

Fully expecting rejection.

I now received approval.

Geez if they can ever get online to work we could have a credible option.

Currently need in person after trip abroad is not workable. 

I also use Bangkok Immigration (CW) and reported in person after I returned from abroad last year.  I asked the IO when reporting if I could do my next report and she said yes.

However, when I reported online 90 days the next time it was rejected so had to attend immigration again.  I inquired of the IO why my online report was rejected, she replied that it was not within the 14-7 day window.  I had in fact applied about 5 days before it was due and this had always been accepted in the past.

Apparently the rule in Bangkok is no longer "up until due date" but I won't know for sure until I apply online again in March.

When this Ukraine war started, Putin said it would be over in four days.

This is simply not true.  Arestovich predicted a 3 day end to the war before it actually started, back in 2021.  That is the earliest prediction I have even seen.  In early February 2022, before the full-scale invasion began, General Mark Milley predicted to Congress that if Russia invaded, Kyiv could fall within 72 hours.  Never said by the Russians.

This has since become something that was repeated endlessly, whether it was 3 days, 4 or a week, and used to demonstrate that Russia is weak, incompetent, etc.  It was never said by Putin, Lavarov or any other source that I've ever found.  You've been misled.

Post a link if you have one.

Queensland Police Detective Inspector Paul Dalton described the alleged crimes as "repulsive," stating, “[There are] no words for how repulsive offences of this nature are.”

I can think of at least one word ... EVIL - woman is a demon.

Some/many stating online reporting window is 2 weeks prior to one week prior. Not up to due date.

I had my online report denied in December at Chaeng Wattana and had to make a trip out there.

When I asked the staff why, the response was that I had not applied within the 14-7 day application window.

what you dont know is they also ask money

There is not any, not one, report of money changing hands over prisoner swaps.

I find it fanciful to believe such a thing - why is it not reported/shouted that the evil fascist dictator Putin is demanding money for prisoners?  (rhetorical question)
 

The reason it is not reported is because it is not true. 🙈

The issue is Russian access via the North Atlantic.

There are several key US bases that are strategically important for this.

In addition, Imagine controlling a land 47% larger than Alaska, filled with untapped resources like RARE EARTH MINERALS, reducing our reliance on China. 

Plus:
Strategic military bases? Check
New Arctic shipping lanes? Double check
Greenland isn't just an island

The influence of Columbine has been linked to over 50 fatal attacks, including shootings in Russia, Germany, Finland, and Canada.

Columbine’s shadow looms large, a grim reminder of how violence can inspire further devastation when its perpetrators are mythologized rather than condemned.

WTF, why write about these past events, unless of course you want more of them?

 The media has done more to ensured the perpetrators are mythologized than anyone else.  🙈 🙈 🙈

"... I'll shoot them on the property."

In her resignation, effective December 15, Gall expressed regret and sought privacy for herself and her family, citing death threats and the need for constant security.

What a meltdown .... caricature of the power-tripping girl boss gone wild, "don't you know who I am" 😁

She can certainly dish out death threats, but can't handle them when incoming.

Suspect appeals of previous decisions she handed down will be forthcoming.

Based on her physical characteristics, the woman is believed to be of Asian descent and possibly a Thai national.

The article starts with "The Mirror Foundation of Thailand are looking for the family of a Thai woman found dead in Germany 35 years ago so they can identify her.

Then later adds that they're not even sure the deceased is Asian let alone a Thai National.

They are just guessing and looking for a lead in the case. 
Nonetheless I hope the deceased gets identified.
Best of luck

I've noticed since joining this forum back in September that certain members have nothing but negative, abusive and downright slanderous things to say on my topics and elsewhere.

Good point ...as mama used to say, "if u don't have anything good to say, then best to say nothing at all"
