Those ham and cheese toasties from Ezy are actually delicious. You basically told her you're a stupid idiot. Thais don't like that. You think you said "I'm saving you from getting pay docked". She heard "You're a stupid idiot and can't do your job right, but me, the clever Farang will tell you what you should do". It's pretty easy to understand.

I want to try the fish and chips from the Chippy at the Gate. Prices are high, but it looks good.

Few people would defend the hostage taking, but whilst I would love to discuss how this mess started way before then, when Israelis flooded into Palestine in the 1940s and 1950s, this is may not be the place to do that. I don't want to disrupt your thread. 214 of 965 or so is around 20%, so 80% of Nobel prizes went to non-jews. But I can assure you that religion had little to do with it, and the excellence of the German, American and British education systems had everything to do with it.

That was a good thing to do. He should get credit for that.

No worries, I just don't see it as an achievement to kill 15000 children. That weighs a bit more heavy for me than a few nobel prizes, which say more about the German and American education systems than anything else. But as you say, off topic.

Well, they made Taylor Swift a billionaire, which is bad enough.

Not from the conditions of the restaurants I've seen. I very much doubt Thais are among the biggest tippers on the planet. Americans yes, Thais, no.

Just because you have children does not make one "pro family". Whilst Walz has a good record generally on that he did not act very decisively to implement safety in the 2020 riots and law and order is also a topic families value highly. What Vance said was not a "gaffe". He was right, a lot of the Democrat leadership, Kamala Harris, Buttigieg and others, do not have children. I do not see how them making laws that affect families will be attracive to voters who, well, do have families. One other thing I don' like about Walz is that he is another apologist for Israel. Though I am aware that Trump is a nightmare in this regard.

Not from me.

If you are craving Chinese and want a classy and authentic Chinese my go to is Tolou. I find Tolou better than Shangri La.

It can and does happen of course, it is a spectrum, people swing both ways or discover later they're gay. But what interests me is how Thiel's mentorship of Vance came about, if Vance comes out in a few years that he's gay that's not my concern. Vance clearly is hardline pro-family, I'm not sure he's anti LGBT, he' just pro family. Sometimes being pro-family can come across as anti LGBT.

The Ukrainian troops rampaging through civilian settelement in Russia have killed 12 civilians and wounded 121 civilians, including 10 children. "Twelve civilians have died and 121 have been injured, including 10 children," governor Alexei Smirnov said in an online meeting with President Vladimir Putin and other governors. . https://www.barrons.com/news/russia-says-12-civilians-killed-121-injured-in-ukraine-incursion-65c26694 We can all see who is posting the lies and "disinformation", tgw. Only you! The Ukrainian troops are killing civilians, including injuring children.

12 dead civilians sounds like a rampage to me. I am surprised it is that many actually, you would have thought Ukraine would have been extra careful for there to be no dead civilians so they can claim a real propaganda victory. But 12 dead civilians really is murder and terrorising of innocent civilians. How many have been made homeless? For those who would say "Russia did far worse", some Russian soldiers may have, but what did these families do? Nothing.

It's what you call the media machine, she got a "Brat" makeover and all of a sudden her insane cackle was not at all insane, but merely evidence of her "Brat" status. Her tedious and boring persona became "electrifying" according to MSNBC. All the democrat superstars from Obama to Schumer to Pelosi to Taylor Swift and Beyonce got behind this superb candidate, and if they tell you she' great, well, they have to know, right? Right?

I noticed this left/right divide during the pandemic as well, with the left being fanatical proponents of masks, vaccines an curfews. Whereas the right refused to wear masks, use vaccines and found the curfews intolerable. It is symptomatic of leftist philosophy, if you think about it the leftists believe they are smarter than everyone else and their great genius is to put their brains to the use of the lucky majority, hence we should pay taxes to benefit everyone, use vaccines and wear masks, because the leftists, and they alone, know what's best for us, thanks to their superior thinking. Then of course there is an innate trust and reflex to obey the government and trust politicians, which leftists have. To all our great detriment, since the curfews cost the world billions and ruined many people. All for nothng, as it turned out. And not a single politicians was called to account.

I can't imagine he's gay because he has a wife and kids. But if you're telling me for a man to wear eyeliner is not weird, I would respectfully have to disagree. I know they have to wear make up for TV but I never saw Trump or Biden with eyeliner. Anyway, that's a minor detail. The fact that his meteoric rise is due to the sponsorship of Peter Thiel just makes me a bit suspicious. Because Thiel is gay and Vance's opinions are so very much not pro-gay, pro-gay-marriage. You just wonder how did this partnership come to pass? Again, not suggesting Vance is gay, but it's just so odd.

This is the crux of the matter, Thais would not tip at all, or very little. Vietnamese call foreigners who tip "idiots" and make fun of them.

Vance is very articulate and a superb writer. His speeches and oratory skills are not bad. He succeeded in becoming a multi-millionaire and a VP candidate, and served in the military, not bad going. One thing that is true, he is very odd. The eyeliner, the association with gay billionaire Thiel, the hardline ideology. If I were a leftie Democrat, which I stress I am not, I too,would be terrified of this man.

The greatest stupidity would be to excuse one side from killing civilians, as you seem to do. These Ukrainian military are rampaging through obviously peaceful civilian settlements. Neither Russia nor Ukraine should be excused when they target civilians. Either it is bad in both cases, or all is allowed.

Massage in Malaysia is really terrible. Even Thai Massage. I went to a place and like in Thailand, I refuse to wear those plastic tangas some mental defective came up with. Never a problem in Thailand. But in Malaysia, if you don't put on those ludicrous tanga things the girl will refuse to do the massage. I could not believe my ears, when I was in KL. I cancelled of course. I thought it was an isolated thing with a fundamentalist masseuse. I go to anothe place. Exactly the same. You basically can't get a decent massage in Malaysia, unless you dress up like a tanga queen. Ridiculous.

Hyperbolic is understating it, what did he say, the "most wicked evil"? He's been to Palestine and the most wicked evil he's seen is a Musk tweet? Yousaf has not seen a lot of wicked evil at all, like none, one has to conclude.

I actually tip massage ladys as well, even though the place I go to charges 1300 Baht for an hour of oil massage already, and the tip should be included. With food I would tip in small Thai eateries if the food was very good, which it often is, but not at all when tip is included and the bill is over 1500 Baht. Band, if they're good I might tell the girl to drop a 100 Baht into the box. Obviously places you go to regularly you can start tipping since ipso facto the food must be good, as well as the service.

You don't give tips inThailand. Mainly due to Chinese practices being adopted. I always pretend I'm Chinese.

Africa is a source of disease, Ebola virus, Lassa Fever, Zika virus, West Nile Fever, HIV, Yellow Fever, Malaria, they all originated from Africa. It's not a "stigma", it's an iron clad fact of medical history. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590291123002309
