Can't wait for the ByteDance IPO. Now that the Chinese regulation drama is over, it might happen soon.

Year on year... Like that metric is currently relevant ????

The recent strikes on Kiyv make me believe that Russians still have a lot of ways to wage their war without using nuclear weapons. Truth is Russia could flatten Kiyv if it wanted too but I don't think Putin's goal is to win by killing as many civilians as possible. As for Putin being cornered, I don't think it is true. Many countries keep doing business with Russia even though some of them might disagree with Putin's ways. At the end of the day, Russia has some valuable and much needed natural resources to sell. The recent coup in Burkina Faso also makes me believe that Russian influence in the world is growing right now. Another reason to be skeptical about the end of Putin and the collapse of Russia. Right now I think that those imagining some sort of nuclear war are out of touch with reality. The war will continue and, at some point, everyone will gather around a table and negotiate peace. The sooner, the better. One thing is for sure, we need new international institutions with less power for the West and more power for the emerging world. If that doesn't happen we will have a third world war at some point and it will be nuclear. Then you'll have good reasons to worry ???? Just my two cents on this ????

Stop watching videos that are giving you a completely biased vision of the world. Diplomacy. Warm smile, kind eyes, calm voice, non-aggressive body language, slow movements and positive words. Respect people and people will respect you. Don't show fear but kindness. 99.99% of the time it works. And when it doesn't... well... Bad karma, man ????

Couple of weeks in jail for good measure would have been appropriate ???? Disrespectful idiots...

Just wondering if it's still possible to go to the immigration branch in Patong to get a visa extension post-covid or have things changed ? Thx

Back to my topic for a sec. Went to Billboard yesterday. I liked it ???? Drinks are cheap and the girls in the pool are pretty entertaining to watch. Dancers suck as usual but I'm getting used to it. Can't remember who suggested me that one but thanks ????

I like the way they are framing this to make it sound irrational. Like those are fears but nothing else. <deleted> WEF clowns ????

lol

Having troubles dealing with the absurdity of life, Gamma ? Gotta say. Your <deleted> posts make me laugh every time though ????

Saw a documentary about that business once. Disgusting. Those poor Thai guys are walking in the blizzard all day long to get those <deleted> wild berries. Wages are terrible. Pure exploitation so rich <deleted> can get there marmalade on the cheap. Glad to see it's about to be dealt with.

A shame really. It gave Sukhumvit a unique vib.

Are street bars forbidden now or is it just Mr Covid who made them temporarily disappear ? Less street food vendors as well between Cowboy and Nana compared to 5-10 years ago btw...

Naaaa... Go for it. I'm good ????

I don't mind having women around me for a night occasionally. But I find them to be far too boring, expensive and demanding to bother with one on a daily basis. I don't mean any disrespect. It's just the way it is for me.

There is some truth to that. Deffo an obesity problem with many girls (not only in Pattaya btw). Probably boredom and depression due to COVID (sadly). As for the 45+ yo, that's kinda fake news. Honestly I stayed there for a month and saw many young women as well. Not many caught my eye though. While staying there I found a pretty interesting YT channel called Everything Pattaya. The guy knows some good places with no bs prices and a nice staff. Worth watching imo: I was talking about Pattaya ????

Pretty good move. Hopefully at some point they will do the same for visa extensions.

I was there last month ???? Honestly I had a nice stay. Didn't get bored at all. Not too many people. Incredible walks to do along the coast. Couple of decent viewpoints with parks. Nightlife kinda sucked but I met a lot of shaddy/odd characters. Most of them lovely and with some interesting often sad life stories. Pretty old on average. Farangs are much younger in Bkk imo. Made some "friends" among hookers as well. Only mistake that I made was to stay in the center. Far too noisy. Anyways... Pattaya ✅

Fair point I guess. <deleted> youtubers, man...

I went there last time I stayed in Thailand. Didn't like it. Good for a couple of days but then super boring. Too much of a paradise. It's a destination for people who like sanitized environments. You know the postcard kind of thing. I need my fair share of imperfection and dirt if that makes sense.

Should be fired ???? No I wanna relax and watch some sexy pole dancing. Bills of 100 that I can give to the dancer now and then. Rest of the time I want to relax, watch, don't have a girl asking me for drinks, nothing... Just me, my beer, a cigarette maybe and the sensual moves of an exotic girl. Nothing else ???? The topic is about exotic dancing not Thai girls ???? Exactly. Thanks for the reminder as the topic is slowly drifting away from the topic. Agaiiin! ???? ---- Anyway. I think I've got all I needed which is the confirmation that what I'm looking doesn't really exist in Bkk. Nevermind. I can wait till next month and see what Phuket has to offer. The vid I shared earlier looks promising... Thx !

As I said before, decent dancing is all I'm asking for. But surprisingly enough, it's hard to find these days. Just watched a video of Patong yesterday and it seems that they have some pole dancers, etc... Might go down there next month. Exploring the island in the day and popping my blisters in front of the girls in the evening ????

Ok thanks, Razz ???? That Padthai channel is pretty cool I gotta say. Never heard of that one before... I might give it a try once just to see how it goes. I don't really care about the type of girls. As long as they entertain me by doing whatever they do on stage, I'll be happy. I'm exploring the city all day long so at night I just want to chill and forget about my blisters ???? Yeah, I know.... ????

You won't regret. It's different but not too much. And it's the future of Windows anyways.
