Hellfire

Also, suicide rate is on the rise. Because of the project.

From my experience, many people underestimate the dangers of swimming. I personally realized this only after I nearly drowned in a 2.5-meter-deep swimming pool. There are countless videos warning about rip currents, but in reality, you don’t need a riptide to drown — even a calm swimming pool can be deadly if you’re not physically fit. Swimming is a bit like being in a state of weightlessness. To exhale effectively, our diaphragm muscles need a point of support. But in water that support is missing. If water accidentally enters the lungs, you need to forcefully exhale to expel it. However, doing this while floating is extremely difficult for somebody not fit enough or already exhausted by swimming , and that’s what makes it so dangerous.

Macbook Air M4. Slightly over 30 k

Do they think the more flags they will display the sooner the conflict will end? Opposite is true. This crisis was caused by narrowminded land grabbing nationalist mentality. More nationalism = more blood and dead soldiers in the future Humans learn nothing from history. Even if we do - it is only for a short period of time (like it was with Europe after WW2).

It is not his land. It never was.

I was trying to figure out who all these Trump cheerboys remind me of. And then I remembered a joke from Soviet times: Winter will pass, summer will come — thanks to Stalin for that.

Do Cambodians really need that plot of land? Is it truly a priority for them? I doubt it. The ones stirring all this up are nothing but criminals, playing with human lives.

Nationalism feels powerful and unifying—until it comes face to face with another nationalism. That’s when the real trouble begins. Nationalism, by its very nature, cannot resolve even the smallest territorial dispute with another form of itself. When two national identities claim the same land or legacy, compromise becomes nearly impossible. It takes other ideologies—ones that transcend exclusive identity, like liberalism and international cooperation—to step in and find a solution.

I'm really angry at my parents right now. How could they never tell me that there are not only men and women, but also trans women and trans men? I feel like they completely misinformed me!

—-The consul noted an alarming rise in holidaymakers attempting to leave Thailand with cannabis, mistakenly believing it’s legal elsewhere.—- No alerts can help dealing with this type of idiocy

Being transgender is a crime in itself

So, many people here are suggesting that a 50-kilogram Somchai should settle an unpaid debt issue in a one-on-one fistfight with a drunk sailor from Bristol? In my opinion, the Thai tactic is more than reasonable — gang up on the troublemaker as a community and thereby minimize any unwanted consequences for everyone (except the drunk foreigner).

Who will pay for it? And you are naive thinking that what an average person indeed needs is to find the additional “irregularities”.

Are we supposed to respect those corrupt playboy-monks too?

The chapter I liked most was about him bar-fining a girl at some seedy Bangkok bar, only to wake up the next morning with an unbearable pain in his ass. That’s when it hit him — he’d come here completely unprepared. So, he decided to write a book (as a warning to others).

The OP forgot to mention that both Bubble Tee girls are anatomically male.

I'm quite sure that most of the money was donated by the poorer segment of Thai society. I also suspect that the upper echelons of Thai society have put considerable effort into keeping the lower classes uneducated. I mean, they seriously discuss ghosts on Thai TV.

You're not allowed to be that poor in Thailand—unless you're a Thai national.

Another important issue here in Isaan is that many drivers are unable to distinguish between main and secondary roads. A road they are driving on seems to be always main from their point of view. You better buy a car for her.

Are Russians considered dodgy just because they evade the draft? It’s not the first time I’ve seen Westerners accuse them of this. Do you really think that makes them morally inferior to you? Would you respect them more if they went off to kill Ukrainians instead? Or you just don’t care and use this accusation without giving it any thought?

I’d hang that Kennedy guy by his balls.

Is that you, Mr. Raf?

The typical behavior of sex workers in Pattaya. Elsewhere in Thailand, a random Thai man would quickly put them in their place with a slap or two. Spoiled by easy money and foreigners who grovel before them plus being almost permanently intoxicated with alcohol, these women turn into real monsters.
