The incident was years ago. If it was such an obvious crime and easy to prosecute, why didn't they even charge him years ago? Duh. They're charging him now with an obvious political agenda.

STOP LYING! I never said the order was to not charge him. I've had enough of this idiocy. BYE.

What a bizarre response. Are you really that dense?!? I never said what they're doing hurts Trump (to return and charge). I obviously meant if they had returned him AS ORDERED and then just let him be it would be a major propaganda blow to the Trump regime. DUH.

It's not hard to understand. I can buy Thai (non Haas) ones close to me so usually I buy those there so I can feel them myself. But I really want Haas ones. I don't have a good source for Haas ones near me so making a special trip just to buy them is inefficient. They're not the kind of thing you can stock up on either. Not rocket science.

I don't believe that you don't understand this and if you really don't, waste of my time engaging anyway.

Thanks so much for the Thai suggestions! I think my request being in Thai does increase the odds that they'll make more of an effort to actually fill the orders. Nothing is 100 percent with avocado buying, but increasing the odds of not throwing away money or not getting anything because of not understanding should really be helpful.

Well this is about what to put on an online form as special instructions when I order avocados. In person, I don't see asking sellers to know how many days till ripe. If they won't let me touch them, I'm not buying them anyway. So if you touch them you know if they're ripe or near ripe or too ripe / rotten. If they're firm nobody can predict ripening time because often they never ripen well at all. I find if they take many days, usually they ripen directly to rotten. A lot probably has to do with how they are stored in Thailand which likely isn't always optimal.

Won't even bother to read this topic but I do have thoughts about this. He is NOT the hero of the dems. That's just stupid. Typical maga twisting of truth and reality. The issue was that he was first deported without due process to a CONCENTRATION CAMP in El Salvador. While it is true he is El Salvadorean, the government there had nothing on him. Concentration camp meaning the intention is that all prisoners will never leave there alive. He got lucky because of media attention and court cases highlighting the gross injustice of him being sent to a CONCENTRATION CAMP abroad without due process. Because of media attention, the dictator of El Salvador at least moved him from the concentration camp to a regular prison there. The maga fascist Trump regime was ordered to send him back the U.S. Sooner or later they were going to have to do this because court appeals were done for them to not do it. So great they sent him back but to face charges. Sorry, but their tactic is obvious. This was done to SAVE FACE. Being forced to send him back they couldn't handle the propaganda loss of him being left in peace. If there were legit charges they should have been filed YEARS AGO. There is zero chance he will be given a fair trial under the current US justice system which is all about prosecuting all perceived "enemies" of the Trump regime and letting off and even PARDONING perceived friendlies.

As Bangkok and Thailand are trying to be a future (well deserved) host of World Pride, here's what's happening at this years Washington DC World Pride. As you can see there is so much more to it than the obsessive anti LGBTQ bigots and demonizers trying to suggest.

This is a very specific request for some expert help from a fluent Thai speaker. I'm really big on avocados. Thai people traditionally aren't. Even though they are grown in Thailand you won't find them in Thai foods except perhaps some places making smoothies with them (as is very popular in the Philippines). Anyway, avocados are a notoriously tricky fruit to buy in any country. You can buy them firm and hope they ripen well but often they go from firm to rotten so then money wasted. You can buy them "same day" which is fine if you're at the store and want to use them same day or possibly next. What you would never do on purpose is to buy them mushy or over-ripe as those are basically garbage. It's shocking sometimes to see Thai grocery stores leaving out entire trays of rotten cados. So I do my avocado shopping online. For years I had the same picker who learned to bring me what I wanted. Firm (unripe) avocados so I could take my chances. Once in a blue moon he would bring me rotten ones but that was so rare I didn't even bother to complain. Occasionally there were some same day ones which was actually OK for me. Well my "trained" guy has moved on and I'm finding that my instructions which I've been putting in English are not working with the new crew. They just never fill my order at all so I'm pretty sure they don't understand and don't want to risk it. I've been putting: Firm (unripe) avocados Of course Thai speakers would need to translate that I'm guessing it doesn't translate so well. So what I'm looking for here is some THAI TEXT that Thai speakers who aren't avocado experts would understand well enough to fill my orders and also get the results that I want (no mushy, over-ripe, rotten fruits).

Exactly right and for the time being concerning. Issues that I've uncovered. Legal U.S. persons not citizens on green cards are NOT EXEMPT under the proposed law. I don't know how many expats in Thailand are in that status status, but anyway, they'll be screwed. It is NOT DEFINED the process to prove U.S. citizenship. A social security number is not necessarily proof of that. For U.S. accounts I have I don't recall whether I was required to say I'm a US citizen or not, but even if that happened, just stating that is not proof. My information says that at this time it is not defined whether or not people who are clearly exempt (US citizens) are going to have that status honored upon remittances OR if they'll need to apply for refunds later. Obviously, if the latter, that would be majorly negatively impactful for many of us. For example people sending 65K a month for retirement status. Less than 65K would then be remitted. To be clear, I think this policy is really awful for all, including non U.S. citizens. The magas as selling this as only going after illegals but they are lying.

Prance around? More moronic ignorance, trolling, and bigotry.

More educated people do tend to be more open minded about gender identity issues and also compassionate towards younger people with those feelings, but sorry, that's a far cry from the idiotic charge that "lefties" love to "trans" kids. That's absurd. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to sell such inflammatory garbage.

Sorry if I didn't communicate my point well enough. As everyone should know, different immigration offices often have totally different enforcement policies, and reports of how things were in the past, even the recent past can be helpful, but you don't really know until you try things yourself.

That's logical and good news if true, but things being how they are. what will really matter for people what the situation is NOW for people doing this at their specific immigration office.

Explanation. Haters gonna hate.

Thanks very much for all that detail. What's most surprising is how long it took for your passport to get from the embassy to you. Why??? If it was sent from state on May 24 considering the weekend it was presumably at the embassy by the 27th. That means it took about nine days to get from the embassy to you. Maybe the embassy is short staffed now. Normally 2 to 4 days max for domestic mail Another question. On the day it arrived did Thai Post call you to announce it or did it just arrive as a regular letter?

The history did start as purely political without a corporate sponsor in sight. Now it really depends on where you are In the world. It's still mostly political in many countries and indeed even illegal.

I'm feeling that your homophobia is a year round condition.

Stick, new series clearly going for the Ted Lasso comedy sports show hit space and it will probably work. This time it's golf and you don't need to like golf to like this show. Starring the very talented Owen Wilson. With an old comedian favorite of mine Marc Maron. If you liked Ted Lasso and who didn't, you'll want to give Stick a try.

This "president" is such a corrupt, immoral, and disgusting person that he even makes Elon Musk look almost decent in comparison.

Oh, one more obvious and very relevant information. For those who got notifications from the State Department about their passport processing (Thai expats only). Approximately how many days from when the email notification says it was sent to the embassy until you got evidence that it was sent to you (by email from the embassy if they do that) or it actually arriving?
