Why there are only few gay saunas in Bangkok?
Jingthing replied to Goodboybkk's topic in Gay People in Thailand
I find yout post very funny. Not many gay men in Bangkok? OMG! Gay saunas are about sex. There are very few saunas in the world that are about straight sex. -

Jingthing replied to Goodboybkk's topic in Gay People in Thailand
Its a global trend for gay bars and saunas to close down mainly because of hookup apps but the Covid years ended some iconic ones. -
That's an obnoxious baiting question. Not beyond scrutiny of course but the scrutiny should not be based on an ignorant bigoted double standard. There was no justification at all based on the facts we were given in the news story to insinuate that the British man was a pedo. Well unless coming from a billionaire world class A hole like Elon Musk. It wouldn't have happened if the Thai partner with the same facts had been a woman. Get real!

Yes at Jomtien. There are NO CONSEQUENCES for ignoring that. Yes they will check at the next extension application.

I call total B.S. What group of people faces severe discrimination in hiring and face firing as teachers in much of the world just for what they are? Gay men. Straight men with much younger legal aged spouses? You won't find that as grounds for not hiring or firing as a teacher anywhere. Its possible you and others are simply blind to deeply ingrained structural homophobia.

Normal is a loaded word How about fairly common? 27 is fully adult by any standard. I would say from an anthropological POV that it is definitely in the range of normality for older males that have the status / monet power to seek out youthful attractive partners. Obviously with same sex there is no reproductive factor with that but the brain wiring is the same. Gay and straight men have a lot more in common than differences.

Posting to get confirmation on the dates. What is the last day they need to record the form to avoid benefits cutoff? My understanding is that if you don’t get your February check, you've been cut off. Is that correct?

Elon Musk says Twitter will offer 'amnesty' to suspended accounts
Jingthing replied to Scott's topic in World News
He's rich so he's eccentric but take away his cash and it's looney bin time city. -
I wouldn't rule Tim Scott out. He could be an antidote to the embarrassing stench left by Herschel Walker. As he's obviously a very intelligent man but politically wrong. Pro trump and infamously stating the USA doesn't have a racism problem, he's the kind of black man that does have a chance with Republicans.

Jingthing replied to Scott's topic in World News
There is already that more politically neutral alternative to Twitter -- Mastadon. But Twitter is a big name. It will take a lot to kill it but it now appears Musk is bending over backwards to do just that. Funny you mention Meta. I think their stock is a good buy now! -
I just disagree. I get your one point though. Do they cover every British expat traffic death in Thailand. I assume not. So if they covered this one because they were a gay couple with a big age difference (as we all know big age differences are very common among expat couples and married people here) they still handled the story very respectfully going as far as to provide multiple quotes about what a good guy the Brit was. I don't see the harm. I don't see how friends or family of either of the accident victims would have objections to this coverage.

I'm going to have to disagree on this one. Although it's true the press often does what you're saying, if you look at this specific article, it does not do that at all. In fact, I see the opposite. They were obviously a long term couple, the foreigner Mr. Keith Miles, had been a popular and well liked teacher, and the article is saying that they were a couple SEES them in the wake of their tragic deaths as what they were. Good chance if same sex marriage was legal in Thailand, they would have been married. So gay couples like they were can often be INVISIBLE as their relationships have no legal status. On the other hand, the completely disgusting and uncalled post on this thread insinuating that the ex teacher was a pedo is homophobia on steroids. There is this fascist tendency internationally (Putin, DeSantis, etc.) to falsely conflate gay men with pedos, using the toxic word "groomers" for any mention of anything gay in any context in schools, etc. and certainly targeting teachers. Such bigotry needs to be called out for what it is.

VPN vs Cloud Computers for connecting to home from Thailand
Jingthing replied to WaveHunter's topic in IT and Computers
That's what I do but it can be a burden sometimes for the host. I log into his network from Thailand, turn on the device which is just some kind of cheap box loaded with Linux, then connect to that via Teamviewer. I have been doing that for many years and of course it works. But always seeking other options as like I said, there are burdens. -

Basicaly Musk the owner of Twitter is now acting as the Alpha Troll of Twitter, in a similar way as Trump used to do. Of course in Trump's case that drove up usage because there is mass appeal to watching train wrecks. Trump is allowed back but so far is declining as he's currently all about his very own absurdly named Truth Social. But having the owner and the Alpha Troll of Twitter being the same (right wing) person is downright weird. It objectively deeply degrades the Twitter brand as any kind of global town hall. We already had Parler and other right wing socials. So if there is any rationality (doubtful) to what Musk is doing, it would be about gaining attention of any kind in the hope to grow the brand. But now the brand is toxic. It had problems before, sure, and some hoped Musk would solve them, but he isn't, he's making things much worse. It's even greatly impacting Tesla! Thanks to his antics Tesla is now being branded as a RIGHT WING car company. Nobody in their right mind wants their car company to be linked to any kind of political ideology if they hope to be more than a niche company. -
