  1. There was no landslide. 1.4 percent margin one of the smallest ones in the last 100 years. He won but stop LYING.
  2. American Indian? You mean like Vivek Ramaswamy?
  3. Excellent. Thanks. Awaiting your research with anticipation. But actually Native Americans originally came from ... wait for it ... SIBERIA! Signed. Pow Wow Man
  4. Cultural appropriation? I'm ahead of you. Remember my torquose bolo tie. To me cultural appropriation should be positively taken as flattery. Like when Arabs accuse Israelis of stealing their foods such as hummus. So stupid.
  5. That's a cringey but good reference. I have overheard f-rangs many times say chocolate man to Thais who presumably would never say that to other f-rangs. That's one Thais would definitely get. When I grew up though calling Washington D.C. chocolate city was done by everybody and not considered offensive. But then people stopped doing that. Go figure. Update on this -- D.C. people including black people STILL call it Chocolate City in a non-offensive context. So I was wrong about that. But D.C. over time has become LESS black. In my view the U.S. city that represents black dominance and pride the best is no longer D.C. It is ATLANTA.
  6. An idea for another topic. My belief is that humans in general are hard wired for racism and in order to combat the obvious evil of racism the first step is to acknowledge that within all of ourselves and consciously avoid doing any harm related to that. In the same sense that all people are capable of murder but most never murder except when socially sanctioned in wars. In other words people who say they are completely free of racism may believe that but they're full of poop.
  7. I wasn’t trying to be accurate. I know what a pow wow is. Saying no dot or feathers is ridiculous in the Thai context. Of course my pow wow gesture was ridiculous too. Rethinkimg red Indian I think also meaningless in the Thai comrext. The point of this topic isn't so much what's actually correct but about the types of odd things people might do in the moment to communicate across language limitations. Of course there's always Google translate.
  8. Fugitive Hunters Mexico American crims cross the southern border thinking they're escaping justice. Not so fast, punks! I plan on watching this new show mainly because I really like David from the Life with Dave Medellin Colombia based youtube channel. He was recruited by the A and E network because they liked David too. An unusual way to get into a t.v. show. But a high risk one.
  9. Career government workers are being screened for their loyalty to Trump. He's completely un-American. It's supposed to be about loyalty to the constitution, not loyalty to dear leader. So people voted for this to lower egg prices. They won't even get that.
  10. I'm really not following that but I won't stress too much as I am pretty confident that your creative theory won't actually be the Thai reading.
  11. OK. Not a big issue for me personally as typically I would owe nothing in the US but owe something in Thailand at my levels so no need for a zero credit.
  12. That's interesting. I don't care at all about the politics of Thai people as far as attraction. I wouldn't even care if they were wearing a Hitler shirt as I would just assume they think he's cute.
  13. OK, the first part sounds credible enough. I think a lot of DTAs do work similar to how I described, but of course it's case by case depending on the specific thing. We've talked about your creative theory before. I'm not buying it yet, but who knows for sure?
  14. I would do a hookup with a Trumpist. But not beyond that. I prefer intelligent people.
  15. I think it will probably change because of: All the publicity Expats on remittances never talked about Thai tax but now it's a Top Topic As you said, businesses pushing people to get into the system, even people with zero reason to be in the system Icing on the cake -- yeah we even have Thai officials talking about this
  16. I'm not at all obsessed. He has a girlfriend.
  17. Well I'm not straight but there are some very handsome lesbians that might swing me if drunk enough.
  18. Heck, my Junior High school teams were the Navajos. We did a really cool war dance. Surely I get a pass for one cheeky pow wow slip, yeah?
  19. One thing I'm definitely NOT gonna do is ever ask him whether he did understand what I meant. That's because to ask that I would have to do the pow wow thing again!
  20. I do actually. Who wouldn't. He's cute as a button but straight.
