It is when that shoe is on a size 13 foot.

His name was Luigi Vampa. I've seen things kick off with Thais plenty of times and was nearly on the receiving end on my second visit. There's an anger just under the surface which erupts like a volcano over relatively minor things. Thankfully the Thais are also receptive to contrition. I've made mistakes in etiquette and offered genuine apologies. Not only have they been accepted, but the anger disappeared immediately. People back home hold a grudge, sometimes for years, and no amount of contrition will assuage that rage.

In what way is this bad? Japan for the Japanese. Mass immigration and illegal migration in Canada is destroying the quality of life for Canadian born citizens making under 100k/year and not already in the housing market. Why would the Japanese want that for their own people, the mutterings of a gaijin dotard notwithstanding? I've only transited through Japan and don't claim to be familiar with the situation there, however, the same narrative is being spun here in Thailand. I warn Thai people to never let any foreigner have citizenship or voting rights in their country. Keep all foreigners on a short leash and boot them out the minute they act up or are surplus to the nation's needs.

4 pages in and nobody is curious about the other side of this story? I sure am. The guy in the picture is a tad swart for a Russian, though he could be from some far flung corner of the old empire. My experience with ladyboys in Patong is that they grope men who pass by and will cross the road to follow men who try to avoid being groped by another man, even one in a dress. Do you apologists permit men at home to grope you in the streets?

In direct correlation to who is funding those studies. Shocking, isn't it? The only ones who buck the system are those that are no longer at the teat.

This refers to air pollution, not the nebulous "climate change" the article was written about. Nice deflection and strawman!

I assume, perhaps incorrectly, that you're older than 31 and more mentally stable. A fit 31 year year old is like a bull. Teens are the last thing I'd want under my roof.

I was one of the men (no women or transsexuals) who repaired that type of damage. It's part of regular maintenance, except in Britain where they let everything crumble around them. Good people hamstrung by bad government.

Thank you for a sane post. It restores my hope that common sense might prevail. I worked on the water for 25 years. One day a coworker was babbling about rising sea levels, his face stuck in his phone. I walked him outside and pointed to the pilings and retaining walls that have been there for 50 years and asked him if the water marks have changed. No, they hadn't. Have wealthy people stopped buying oceanfront property or flying all over the world in private jets? Are the wealthy, who push this narrative, eating bugs and living in pods? Not if that bloated swine (Al Gore) who popularized this crap is any indication. How did his predictions work out? Manhattan was supposed to be under water 11 years ago. Many of the people who push this narrative live comparatively extravagant lives: large houses and 3,000 lbs cars to transport a single person to buy a grilled cheese sandwich from 7/11. How many have moved into a 22m2 apartment and switched over to riding a bicycle or small displacement scooter ? Pattaya is the ultimate 15 minute city, yet it's packed with Fortuners and other large vehicles. Climate doomers are welcome to believe whatever they like. The problem arises when they feel justified in reducing the quality of life for those around them. Do as you please, but don't tread on me.

Apparently the guy had millions of subscribers as a fitness/bodybuilding content creator then lost his marbles and his livelihood. Pretty sad. It's strange, to my ears, at any rate, that his girlfriend's 16 year old sister is living in the same house.

This makes no sense. If it was hot enough for one motorbike to spontaneously combust, many more would have. Yes, steel does expand in the heat, and contract in the cold. Expansion joints compensate for these factors to ensure the gauge remains within acceptable parameters. Was there a derailment that didn't make the news? Who pays you guys to put out this trash? It's a poorly contrived and written narrative that's big on innuendo and short on facts.

Cue the mask n needle brigade to call for climate lockdowns and the banning of all air travel.

I've got friends who were raised in Jehova's Witness families and it's horrifying what they were taught as children. Imagine being 4 or 5 and your parents telling you that you're going to be separated from your parents and put in an internment camp by government agents. Therapists must make a good living from those who escape from that cult.

The story makes perfect sense. It's heartening that so few people on this board have experience with losing a loved one to suicide. Carry on.

"If" is the key word. Cutting the stocks down to a small enough size doesn't happen. Perhaps too time or labour intensive on a large scale. That, and the soil conditions at the time the cuttings are turned into the soil and how long they're left to decompose. No scientific papers to link to or footnote, just my observations after going to school and working as a gardener for a long time. Many theories are espoused by the PhDs that are rarely executed (or executable) properly in the field (no pun intended), hence the variable outcomes. The rest of your post is all over the place - I understand - and agree with what you're saying and how you got there. It's important to examine the angles and try to come up with the best, most workable solution. The good intentions behind subsidies end up being manipulated by the clever/greedy people and whatever problems they were supposed to address remain unsolved.

A day late and a £ short for the British Fecal/ fountain shower man. Word has it he's on his way back to the UK to debut his show in Blackpool, where it will go unnoticed. Will these portable toilets have attendants rubbing your shoulders and toweling off you codger as part of the 30 million baht price tag?

One day someone might write the same eulogy for you. An unsympathetic character, blind to his own faults and unforgiving of the faults of others. "He died knowing everything"

That sounds delicious. Almost like a spicy beef sukiyaki.

I haven't read too many stories of expats screwing over the hospitals: that's the province of the tourists. It's the well heeled who cause the most high profile disgraces to the rest of the expats. It always seems to be the as shole in the Benz or Tesla who hits someone and drives off. Swiss back kicker dude is by all accounts very well off and has that entitled mindset. They bribe their way out of it then bitch about guys who live in one room apartments and pay visa agents. Sheesh.

There is no piper in this scenario. One has the gold. Chances are that it's the geezer, not the young lady.

The golden rule: he who has the gold makes the rules. That's also a recipe for resentment and all sorts of nasty things. Best not to marry or learn to love your servitude. At least the married guys will never run short of mindless banter. Oddly, a Thai woman with a husband twice her age recently confessed to me that she's been running around with another guy. I can't figure out if geezer hubby is very stupid regarding women or a happy cuckold.

The concrete jungle.

The second obstruction is clearly a rodent of unusual size, right out of the fire swamp.
