Smartphones are different. It’s not just about the technology, but the portability. They can be used in so many places and situations where a computer or even an iPad simply wouldn’t work. Standing in a crowded train, walking down the street, at the dinner table, waiting in line at the store, at the beach, sitting on top of a mountain - these are all moments where only a phone fits. But that convenience comes at a cost. People end up abusing that portability, trading the beauty of being present in exchange for the habit of pulling out their phone and scrolling through nothingness, just because they can.

iPod was a good thing, but made functionally obsolete by smartphones. But I had an iPod Nano before. Was great. About the size of postage stamp and a metal clip to attach it to your shirt. But now smartwatches can carry all your music loaded onto your wrist. Even better.

And the Post is still garbage. Best used as blankets for the subway bums. At least the Daily News is gone.

First you wrote Japan, now you've edited your post to say Germany? Cant you make up your mind, Kobe-Bob?

What, just to feed your ladyboy obsession?

At least people wouldn’t be photographing every single little uninteresting thing in their lives. All those boring pictures of people’s meals, their pets, the coffee they drink every morning, and the endless flow of selfies that no one asked for and doesn't want.

CLARIFICATION: When I first created this topic, the title included the word “grifter”, same with my original post. But someone quietly removed that after about ten or fifteen replies, without notifying anyone or making the change clear, not even to me. So now the conversation’s gone off in a completely different direction from what I intended. I wasn’t trying to spark a debate about all the lazy, grubby, washed-up losers and deadbeats in Thailand. The point was to talk about dodgy foreigners scheming and scamming in Thailand to make money and exist at someone else’s expense. That was the actual purpose of the topic.

Rubbish. Just get back in bed Bob. Last night's angry hangover still requires more recovery before you start dropping your usual F-bomb type topics.

You mean Trump loving nutter?

Not trying to be negative, just curious, are these the ten most common roles foreigners fall into in Thailand, or are there others people have come across? 1. Pattaya YouTuber 2. Shoestring blogger 3. Freelance English teacher with no visa 4. Crypto bro not making it 5. Spiritual nomad or tantric healer 6. Digital nomad come consultant 7. Visa fixer middleman 8. Washed-up DJ or bartender 9. Illegal tour guide or motorcycle rental hustler 10. Illegal dive instructor or restaurant worker

Genius! Einstein level observations!

Dumb and dumbest.

The posts from each new version of you keep getting duller, more uninteresting and increasingly forgettable. Honestly, the next time you throw a tantrum and vanish for a month or so, I can’t think of a single reason you should bother clicking the AN Sign Up button again after your hangover wears off.

I’d like to ask a sincere and respectful question, and I hope it can be met with equally thoughtful replies. This isn’t about sex or physical desire. It’s about connection, communication, companionship and emotional compatibility. For those who have personal experience spending time with ladyboys in Thailand, how does that compare to spending time with women in terms of emotional dynamics and relationship and bonding potential? I’m referring to aspects like empathy, understanding, communication style, emotional intelligence and maturity, and general outlook on life. Of course, every person is unique and individual personalities will always differ. But I’m wondering if those who have had these experiences have noticed any consistent patterns or qualities that stand out. Do ladyboys tend to approach relationships differently? Are they more open-minded or emotionally available? Or are the dynamics generally similar to those with women? I’ve noticed that many men seem to form close bonds with ladyboys in Thailand, and it made me wonder whether there’s something deeper to these relationships beyond what people often assume. Hoping for honest and respectful insights from those who can speak from experience or at least from some personal knowledge on the subject.

You mean there are lots of stupid ones like this one?
