I don't understand the picture underneath, there are only men, or did the TG need to take off their disguise ?

The explanation given by Sam Altman is striking even when the question was a bit in a suggestieve style, just look ... We asked : "How do you call a law which enables the leaders of a country to enable censorship in a way to suppress freedom of speech, but call it a defamation law ?" Reply: A law that enables censorship under the guise of protecting against defamation, but is actually used to suppress freedom of speech and dissent, is often referred to as a: "Repressive defamation law" or "abusive defamation law" In legal or political analysis, it may also be described with terms like: - "Defamation as a tool of repression" - "Weaponized defamation law" - "Politicized defamation law" - "Criminal defamation law (with authoritarian application)" Such laws are often criticized because they: - Blur the line between protecting reputation and silencing criticism. - Are vaguely worded, allowing broad interpretation. - May carry disproportionate penalties (e.g., imprisonment rather than fines). In democratic societies, defamation is usually a civil matter, but when it becomes criminalized or used by the state to shield itself from scrutiny, it is widely considered a threat to freedom of expression.

Not only in Pattaya, just open FB and watch slum-like scenes where girls call themselves 'digital creators' and, without scruples, stir up these kinds of situations, putting them live in 'reels'.

Doesn't matter how well things are going at the moment, you should think back in time, how she worked out this great plan from the beginning. Initially slow because she needed time to find out how financially stable you are and where are your weak points. On the other hand there are thousands of couples in Thailand who successfully live and stay together that way, kind of a deal, giving and taking.

I am surprised the bathroom looks pretty neat, clean and modern, I mean I was always thinking these types of creatures would flourish in smelly slums, with lots of rubbish, food scraps, sewers without any barriers, the same neighbourhoods where one would encounter rats for example. This could still be the case outside this bathroom of course, but normally people who have such a bathroom are neat and clean everywhere.

Q: And the other way around? How to use WISE to transfer from a Thai Baht account at for instance Kasikorn to an European bank (euro account) does this work ? Since you can't 'upload' Thai Baht into WISE, right ?

Better: not any incoming flights with these idiots in.

Every day such incidents, look beyond these single cases, the root cause is the opening of flood gates at the very beginning, the airports at the countries where they people leave their country. No free entry, simple e-visa application, done in 10 minutes, but 100% proof of a significant income or bank statement, e.g. let's say $40.000. Guess what ? Gone is flood of trouble seekers, walking tattoo panels, non-valeurs, alcoholist, jobless, schizophrenia, intoxicated boxing fanats, fake good sellers, cyber crime amateurs. Yes, I know some champagne in the pool Russians will still come, but they stick together in places I won't go. TAT wants Pattaya to become the Saint Tropez of SE Asia. However, now comes the problem ... the hosts are not in style to become a Saint Tropez either. ST does not have a Walking Street, bars and bargirls. I learned Pattaya is as it is because the people who come to work there have the same life style in their home villages, it is not the innocent girl of Isaan comes to Pattaya and changed over there. She was always like that. Just visit the festivals in East Thai villages, it is Pattaya in mini format. I therefore think the Thai officials believe of making Pattaya a luxury, mondaine seaside resort, getting rid of the thugs, is a very difficult mission.

Hopeless fight against nature

Yes, a funnel into the silence. They first have to find all stakeholders with controversial material, documents and nformation. Then these stakeholders need to be approached, offering them loads of money and other benefits to keep their mouth shut or tell a different story. As soon as done, they follow the manuscript for public and anti-corruption committee communication, with the aim to prove that nothing was exceptional, it was just a low frequency earth quake wave, putting the structure in a natural swing mode, and since it was under construction, reinforcements were still missing, so the construction collapsed. Job done. Gone will be the stories of low steel quality, violation against safety guidelines, dubious Chinese subcontractors, etc. What almost surprises me most is the total lack of these discussions in Thai opinion, or even a revolt against politicians. It feels like Thai always believe these twisting stories of higher officials.

and less Chinese penetration in society and politics in those days as well.

Yes and the biggest crooked Thai official is in power now, so what can we expect ?

No it was a top - down brown envelope card game from ministry to builders, to turn a blind eye on safety standards, like it always the same in THL, if you give me this, you will get that, i will tell them this, but we all know the truth is that. The source is the top of the piramide, they benefit most, but are exposed least. Important technical structural reports have already 'vanished', unfindable.

Yes, but in the case everything goes wrong Trump already atranged his backup plan, he, his family and his 7 tech friends already pre-booked a ticket on one of the Space-X missions of his right-hand Musk, they will be heading to Mars.

Yes, you are absolutely right. And the wheels keep going because nobody is doing anything against it, the party who was closest was bypassed the last election, and all descendants of these elites can keep filling their pockets for years to come. There is only one way out: Power by the masses, but unfortunately that's not Thai culture, doing it the soft way may need decades to bring a change, if ever.
