save the frogs

How are they even allowed to advertise on the Airbnb website if it's illegal? This is what AI has to say:

Whichever country you choose to retire to, don't forget to learn how to read.

Move away from Isaan. It's a backward place. What's the point of owning a cheap giant house, but living in a place with a backward mentality?

It's not xenophobia. It's strictly business. And it states that marriage and retirement visa holders won't be affected. You're exaggerating.

and no one would jump in to defend australia?

first time I hear about it. this isn't news to you? you think it's going to happen? i thought they had their sights set on taiwan.

unlikely to not engage, so double negative = positive?

Is this fake news / propaganda, or is China really planning to go after Australia? Point is ... there are disadvantages to being a small country and advantage to joining up with larger countries. Sooner or later, smaller countries can get gobbled up.

finally a bulgarian in the news. i didnt even know that was possible. some of world's best hackers are from that part of the world.

if a member of EU is attacked, doesnt the rest of EU need to step in?

Does Canada prefer to cozy up to the EU? https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/05/05/meet-the-mep-who-wants-to-bring-canada-into-the-european-union Almost half of Canadians want to join the European Union and one German MEP is doing his best to make it possible. Canada’s new prime minister Mark Carney broke with tradition by visiting Europe rather than Washington for his first foreign trip as his country’s leader, Carney told his hosts in Paris that Canada is “the most European of non-European countries”, alluding to his country’s French and British roots.

I seriously doubt it ... the right to bear arms is heavily ingrained in the US, but not canada.

No, the cultures are not that different. Only difference is free healthcare in Canada, Canada more socialist, college not as expensive, different tax rates. If they merge, I guess Canada would lose all that and would need to adopt the American system. Canadians don't own guns, unless criminals ... will they adopt that as well?

There is a difference between military invasion and negotiating.

I wouldn't know. They're out of my league. I'm low-so, not hi-so.

haha, thai-chinese .... LOL

Maybe "Keeping up with the Joneses" was invented in the West. And then with all the inter-racial marriages, Thais incorporated it. But who knows for sure?

so i misunderstood. it happens.

All cops have to wear bodycams now. So corruption has gone down. Video is analyzed. If cop doesn't follow protocol, he's done.

why does it have to be a fair fight? is it a fair fight to vandalize a helpless business owner by throwing a rock in their window?

maybe Tuco Ramirez can take her out for tacos.

Or a house in Isaan. How much do they go for? This guy would be set for life, but should have checked for CCTVs.

trumps tariffs

No, US cops tolerate a lot. They won't shoot people for that. Sometimes cops are too relaxed and the person pulls out a gun. But may be charged with resisting arrest in addition to other crimes.
