wipe out all pitbulls off the planet useless creatures

you take your chances being out at 4:40 am he's lucky he didnt encounter a vampire

they're not even just whining. they're barking now.

I'd rather respond to your posts when I feel inclined and comment about you than put you on ignore.

I feel the same way about tipping. It's gotten out of hand. Just keep going back to the same restaurant if the service is good. "Tip" them with loyalty.

holy cow. this is big news. it means thailand is embracing the AI/robotic revolution and will not lag behind other countries in utilizing these technologies, for better or for worse. if they put these things everywhere, street crime will be a thing of the past. also no more bouncers giving beatings in bars ... this is YUGE.

good point. sorry, i dont know what he's doing with Cote D'Ivoire

FriscoKid is a troll, and like several others who are into the political threads. I suggest you put him on ignore. Others are not trolls, but politics is like religion. Once people take sides, they become narrow-minded bigots. People become like religious zealots and not able to look at any facts objectively. I only watched the first couple of minutes of the Jordan Peterson video. He seems accurate in saying govts waste a lot of money and also accurate in suggesting that Musk is good for the job because he's a highly successful engineer. You need to be smart to be an engineer and pay attention to details.

there could be some bullying going on ... it is possible. why not have an independent international body monitoring fair trade or sth?

Sorry, I am not an economics expert, but Trump is going after countries that the US has large trade deficits with and the way he calculated the tariffs is based on the deficit.

I don't know the details. If Trump wants to hire me and pay me a 6 digit salary, I'll look into it. But just common sense and simple logic ... What are you suggesting? That Trump is so demented and crazy and stupid that he's trying to make new deals for no apparent reason? Or the only other possible thing you might be suggesting ... He's pure evil and he is deliberately trying to drive the US into the ground because he wants everyone to starve to death. Or could it be the most obvious and banal explanation? Maybe he is trying to get better deals for his country than what he previously had?

Seems like he was handed trade deals that were out of balance, but I'm no expert.

reviewing proposals. and some deals will likely be made within the 90 day pause. but you people want instant gratification or you bark incessantly. please stop barking for the next 90 days on this issue and wait, will you?

unrecognizable is a common term used. and then people jump to the conclusion that they would never want to go back to their home country because it has changed so much. it's almost like going to a new country for the first time. if you "acclimate" yourself, you'll find a lot of things to like about it. and some things haven't changed, no matter where you're from. so there's also the sense of the familiar. I don't like living abroad perpetually. I like popping in and out.

They're not pals. Trump refers to him as Newscum

To be clear, I'm not comparing Trump to Jesus. I'm not saying he's a savior. I just used Jesus second coming as an extreme example that people can put a spin on anything. So I am getting tired of debating. And it applies to both sides.

that's exactly what I am saying will happen. thank you.

One thing I learned from these "debates" is anyone can spin anything. Putting out a positive news story doesn't mean anything. Someone will find a way to put a negative spin on anything. When the 2nd coming of Christ occurs and everyone is finally "saved", a bunch of people will still put a negative spin on it.

mystical seems like a strong word. the more you stay = the more you hate your home country?

someone said there used to be no security on Soi 6. once, a tourist was roughing up a girl and a normal citizen took it upon himself to handle the tourist.

I think the difference in Amsterdam is the girls are not in bars.

water throwing starts at 3-4 pm or maybe around noon the earliest. but not 100% sure. i've been out doing errands 8-9 am and have not seen anyone with a water gun. but i have not walked past any bars ... but doubt there's anyone in the bars at that time anyway.

It's not the pedestrian crossing they respect. However, some cars will give way to pedestrians. The key is you need to make sure they're slowing down, make eye contact, and let them give you permission to cross. And it's probably best that these zebra crossings be removed altogether.
