save the frogs

Ok, I was just kidding anyway. Good luck hunting down that mustard.

got it. thanks. i believe you now that you go to thailand exlusively for temples and avoid the bars.

i just watched 10 seconds and saw him running and then the narrator is in awe that he is on a meat-free diet. i have a good story. i was having lunch with this guy in his 70s in super bad shape with a big belly who never works out. and he mentioned a guy he knew that was a vegan and a jogger who dropped dead at 50. he couldn't quite grasp how, if running is such a great exercise and veganism is such a great diet, he dropped dead so young.

please upload photos of your temple visits then

how much did you spend on lady drinks on your holiday? ha ha

send him some by mail at xmas

haha, 200 facebook friends. the logistics to manage that would be overwhelming. i would need to hire a secretary. and anyway, what's the point? and they would mostly be a bunch of superficial blurbs. which is one of the dark sides of social media.

yeah like let's meet up and i'm gonna kick your butt type thing. fortunately none of that on this forum.

no, on one forum many years ago there were threats ... forums can easily get way out of hand. expressing opinions that differ from others pi**es people off.

there's a lot of stupid thread on a lot of forums

what is typical swiss food? cheese fondue?

It's not good to follow politics too much as it will just make you feel hopeless, depressed, anxious, bitter. No one knows more about politics than Bill Maher.

you're not getting tired of the frog jokes yet?

but that's my point. how fast can you type when you are "banging out a novel" before the words on the page are crap? you need to slow down and put some thought into it.

good rebuttal!

Or spending 500 dollars for concert tickets, also influenced by social media hype. Just watched Yuval Noah Harari interview on Lex Fridman. He has a bleak outlook on future of AI and humanity. Scary.

this is a useless topic. typing fast is maybe only useful for secretaries, people doing data entry ... you're trying too hard to generate topic ideas. you look desperate.

no, it's not racism. they are just erring on the side of caution. if it was racism, they wouldnt want to let her date you. although their perceptions of foreigners may not be entirely accurate, but neither have they encountered many foreigners.

but my point is that their fears are based in some reality. not all, but many young farang are playboys. doesn't have to be buying a house. but do small gestures for extended family, whatever you can to show that you're not just using her and you're serious. accompany the grandmother to the clinic. it doesn't have to be about spending vast amounts of money. but you need to do sth to build their trust.

why does she think you will leave her? prejudice based on perception that foreigners are not committed? past experience from a previous farang boyfriend?

i agree with beachlovers. talking heads can get boring. and some art is necessary and useful. there's lots of free short films on youtube. (and vimeo, but now vimeo charges) a lot of them are quite good. and they get the point across in 10 minutes or 20 minutes or sometimes 3 minutes. so you don't risk wasting hours watching a 2 1/2 hour movie that has nothing to say, like some hollywood stuff. just found another channel. it's interesting as he doesn't just film himself eating food but does a lot of research on the history of the food and the restaurant owners.

so you are a cat lover now?

he's wearing a wife-beater ...

haha, how's your anti thailand bashing campaign going because you're holding a grudge? why did you change your avatar? you quit drinking? haha
