  1. I have found everything I need until now on Lazada so I don't even have an account on Shopee. But I checked there this time. Google told me Ali Express has it. Sure I know of them just as I know of Amazon (have an old account there). But I try to avoid shipping from China or the US even on Lazada but sometimes have to ship from China. I have not been here 20 years but freely admit there is a lot I don't know. There is no shame in that.

  3. There is an item I want to buy but I can't find it on Lazada or Shopee but I did find it on Ali Express. Any information on shopping with them from Thailand? Possible? Accept Thai debit cards?
  4. Each country is on a different timeline. For example a country right now with 2 percent vaccinated, should they have the same mitigation policies as another country with 90 percent?
  5. That is blatantly false information Later variants are NOT NECCESARILY less severe Omicron is. That doesn't tell us about all future variants.
  6. Here's another theory about why the authorities are slow to change on this. Perhaps they regard the public like children incapable of differentiating. Loosen up outdoor rules and then too many people might think they can be maskless indoors. Like an all or nothing.
  7. That's a good point. Wearing a weak dirty mask only to comply with rules is actually worse than no mask.
  8. They are not always pointless depending on the mask quality, whether it is worn properly and the specific setting. But as far as outdoors in parks, yeah probably pointless.
  9. I am. I don't know of any middle level economy country that had first dibs on vaccines, at least the better brands that people actually wanted. Of course I'm not saying the government here is without fault on their Covid response No government had a perfect response. But I am saying any harsh criticism should take into account that the world is very far from a level playing field.
  10. Yes. We must separate war criminal Putin from the Russian people in general. Generalized toxic knee jerk Russophobia plays right into war criminal Putin's paranoid propaganda. That said if specific Russians openly identify with war criminal Putin and his barbaric slaughter of Ukrainians, then that's different. Also some Russian expats/refugees may potentially play key roles in helping to end this war. So give Russian people the benefit of the doubt at least at first.
  11. Thailand was never in the top tier nations in regard to adequate earlier stage access to vaccines. That was not the Thai government's fault. That was about structural global inequality.
  12. I don't believe such behavior is very common at all. Smollet released: Jussie Smollett released from jail pending appeal - BBC News
  13. OK. But the fact remains that a very significant percentage.of renters can barely afford their current rent much less massive increases.
  14. He was talking about more recently added jobs. Also people don't have average jobs. They have their jobs.
