  1. New apparently gourmet level Turkish restaurant opens in South Pattaya. Istanbul Restaurant Pattaya Tai (near 2nd road corner) I have eaten at the Turkish restaurants in Pattaya over the years and also been to Turkiye, and it's obvious to me just by looking at the menu that this new one is at a higher level than ever seen before here. Of course the proof is in the eating but I can tell you there are dishes on their menu that you've never seen before. Clearly to have a full meal there, it won't be cheap, as you'll need multiple dishes (similar to a full Indian meal) but the prices don't seem extortionate at the per dish level. I guess going in a group and just ordering mezzes to share would cut the per person cost down. As people try this place, please report back here your impressions on specific dishes.

  2. Bull. I'll watch it to know better what the maga traitors are buying.
  3. No. Magas are magas. Old style Republicans are the only real Republicans remaining. Calling them rinos is a maga gaslighting game. .
  4. You seem confused. The most vocal anti-Trump forces are coming from conservative republicans like the Lincoln Project. Being anti maga is NOT about right vs. left.
  5. You're more optimistic than me. Magas stay magas no matter what. It's a cult. It requires professional deprogramming to have any hope of shaking them from it.
  6. I checked the local prices on S24 and S24 plus and wow they were much higher than they would be in the U.S. Don't know if that is temporary because of supply and demand though. But basicaly too much money. I can afford a very expensive phone especially considering they are promising updates for seven years but I just feel uncomfortable worrying about loss and theft. Also realistically for how I actually use my phone, the S24 Ultra particularly is an absurd level of overkill. But good news, I have just heard that the AI features (translation is what I really want) will eventually be available on the S23 models. Maybe even fairly soon.
  7. You could do that but you can bet the house it will be all lies.
  8. There are reports from credible people including a staff member on the Apprentice tasked with cleaning his mess. Do your own research as the maga types like to say.
  9. Don't bother. It's a maga thing. Nothing to do with rationality or knowledge but more to do with ideology.
  10. Yeah we can just watch Kremlin propaganda to get all your pro Putin talking points. No need to repeat.
  11. Sleazeball Carlson does support him though.
  12. No longer a swing state. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/four-swing-states-that-will-determine-the-2024-presidential-election-172546631.html
  13. Early polls on this contest are meangless. Will adjudicated rrapist Trump be convinced of a felony before the election? Will the crackpot anti vax Kennedy run third party? Which side would Kennedy hurt? Read a report recently that he'd hurt Trump.
  14. Trump blocking a fix right now because he doesn't want to fix it he just wants the issue to run on. What a truly disgusting person always putting his selfish interests above the country.
  15. Californian votes won't matter. Only five or six states will. Thanks for the on the ground report.
  16. Notorious con man and grifter who regularly stiffs contractors would be a more accurate descriptuon of his "business" activities.
  17. He only serves himself and it's funny that you use the word WHEN. It's possible but far from certain.
  18. Trump has already been found guilty of financial and tax fraud, defamation and is an adjudicated rapist. More to come. 91 FELONY charges pending. That's remarkable for any criminal but for an ex president it's beyond unprecedented.
  19. In reality unless someone is a radical believer in a world with no borders nationalism is a double edged sword. It often is toxic but it also is often a positive force for the advancement of people in all the various nations. Nationalism wont end regardless. It's naively utopian to think it could. I think it makes sense to acknowledge nationalism as a manifestation of human nature and try to promote the positive aspects of that and oppose the toxic parts.
  20. If you think that likely you really are anti Zionist. Your right but I oppose that.
  21. If people are against right wing Israeli government policies they should just say that. To say they are anti Zionist means they are against the right of Israel to exist with any government That's fine if you believe that but the way people use anti Zionist almost always doesn't clarify that vital difference. For example I hate Netanyahu, I've been against the west bank settlement expansions yet as I support the right of Israel to exist and defend itself I am pro Zionist and there should be no shame in being pro Zionist.
  22. Zionism evolved as a POLITICAL liberation movement with the goal of self determination in a national homeland for Jewish PEOPLE religious and non religious. Why? Because of thousands of years of persecution in the diaspora. The diaspora from the indigenous homeland of the Jewish people. Israel. Not the same as Hamas which is an extremist Islamist movement. In my view saying Zionism is a cancer is hate speech. It's like being against the right of Thaus to have political self determination in their state.
  23. Anyone that supports the right of Israel to exist and defend itself is a Zionist. You don't even know the definition of Zionist. The Israeli government is the Israeli government. Zionism includes the lady you hugged too almost definitely You are taking about right wing policies that you and many others including Israelis and diaspora Jews oppose. Such policies don't define Zionism. Such people are Zionists but so are liberal Zionists. Words matter. The I'm against Zionism but not Jews is very often used as political cover. You may well be pro Zionist yourself.
