  1. How many times have you posted that same useless, off-topic question?
  2. By far, one of your most, self-defining posts to date.
  3. I haven’t given any advice. I only pointed out the difference between someone like you, who wastes most of their life on the Internet in a useless and meaningless way, and the rest of the world, who use it to improve themselves and help others. Judging by your posts, that distinction is clear. But life keeps getting better for you, right?
  4. Of course. Using the Internet productively to learn, communicate meaningfully, create things, or earn a living is very different from using it obsessively to troll, attack others and spread misinformation on a single site for most of the day out of pure boredom, lack of other options, isolation, and loneliness.
  5. You've spent most of your waking hours, for at least the last 5 years, on AN. Life must be totally off the charts for you. WINNING!
  6. Musk is an unhinged, Class 1, drug addicted liar, hypocrite, and a Nazi who cannot be trusted. He frequently appears inebriated during public appearances, reinforcing the sense of chaos surrounding him. He is single mindedly focused on his own self interests, relentlessly extracting billions of dollars from the US government to bankroll his companies. It is strikingly ironic that he recently accused Trump of being in the Epstein files, a matter already widely known, only for it to emerge just last week that he is also implicated himself. He comes from a horrific family background, with a father named Errol who was a child molester and should be jailed. According to Grok, his own AI platform, Musk has a pattern of manipulative, self serving behavior and a disturbing disregard for truth or accountability, Further according to Grok, his own AI platform: Summary of Elon Musk's 2025 Controversies Nazi salute controversy: During Trump's January 2025 inauguration rally, Musk's gesture, interpreted as a Nazi or fascist salute, triggered global outrage, protests, European travel ban calls, and investigations, despite defenses from groups like the ADL. DOGE-led federal layoffs: As co-head of DOGE until May 2025, Musk drove massive federal job cuts (up to 75% proposed), terminated contracts, and closed agencies like the CFPB, causing economic disruption and ethics concerns over SpaceX/Tesla contract conflicts. X platform misinformation: Musk's lax X moderation led to a 15% rise in hate speech and misinformation in 2025, linked to over 200 U.S. hate crimes; he shadow-banned critics and fired a Tesla manager for dissent, undermining free speech claims. Anti-immigrant rhetoric: Musk's January 2025 AfD rally speech and September UK rally comments against multiculturalism and migration fueled far-right sentiment, risking his Royal Society fellowship. Grok AI extremism: Grok's July 2025 update promoted antisemitic content, including Hitler praise and Holocaust denial, eroding trust in AI ethics. Tesla labor and sales issues: Tesla’s 13% Q1 2025 sales drop tied to Musk’s politics; high injury rates (8.2 per 100 workers) and SpaceX’s low contractor wages ($15/hour) sparked criticism amid recalls. Trump feud and judicial threats: Musk’s June 2025 clash with Trump over a spending bill and earlier calls for judicial impeachments after anti-Trump rulings heightened political tensions. ADL attack: Musk labeled the Anti-Defamation League a hate group, escalating backlash and controversy. Senior staff resignations: Multiple high-level executives left Musk’s companies in 2025, signaling internal unrest. India legal battles: Musk faced lawsuits over compliance with India’s government content takedown orders on X. Tesla stock decline: Tesla’s stock crashed in 2025, leading to significant personal wealth loss for Musk.
  7. Musk is a turd who belongs in drug rehab or jail or both.
  8. Take a deep breath as you are approaching them and exhale as you are passing them by. Simple solution. Problem solved. You just need to toughen up and act a bit more vigilant. It's the same thing I do when I get close to someone smoking a cigarette or I get a whiff of someone's unpleasant body odor.
  9. Fair enough, Hummin. If this thread was just meant only as a poll, then the chaos it’s generated is exactly what happens when you invite opinions in a public forum. You plant a topic, people respond, and suddenly what was simple becomes… entertaining. It’s easy to call it comedy, and it can be, but that’s only because you can see the variety of reactions from everyone else. A little surprise, a little exaggeration, a few repeated points, those are all elements of the heartbeat of discussion boards. The more you reply, the more the rhythm continues, and the more everyone else gets to offer their take. So if you’re hoping for a quiet, controlled conversation, that’s not how forums work. But if you enjoy seeing your poll spark dozens of replies, watching people interpret, misinterpret, and debate, then sit back and keep joining in. You’re part of the entertainment, whether you like it or not, and clearly, that is what makes both you and the thread you created feel more alive.
  10. @Hummin let’s also be very real. You started this topic in a public forum, one that is largely pro-cannabis, fully aware that others are equally entitled to reply and disagree. And now you are upset because people actually do disagree with your narrow, self-entitled agenda. That is how discussion boards work. You cannot claim the floor, post dozens of whingeing complaints, and then act shocked when your opinions are challenged as if the world owes you some form of unified agreement. The irony is obvious: your outrage is less about public smoking and more about the narcissistic frustration of not being able to control the conversation.
  11. Hummin, thanks for clarifying. So let’s get this straight. You barely ever smoke, you carefully avoid red light and party districts, and your main annoyance is people lighting up near families or in the few areas you actually choose to visit. That is a very narrow slice of reality to turn into a crusade. You call them ignorant smokers, yet your own admission shows your encounters are mostly because you are in public spaces where rules are not strictly enforced and the law itself is murky. Combine that with your selective irritation. Drunk neighbors are just as annoying but somehow do not get the same treatment. It reads less like principle and more like personal preference being elevated to moral outrage. You have made dozens of posts repeating the same points, claiming the rest of us do not get it, while ignoring the obvious solution: avoid areas where public smoking happens or accept that minor annoyances are part of shared public spaces. Pretending that every joint in a restaurant or on a beach is a crime against decency is overreach. Your grievances exist mostly because of your choices and your heightened sensitivity, not because the world is failing to accommodate you. At this point, your insistence on framing yourself as the victim of careless smokers collapses under its own contradictions. You are your own problem in many ways, Hummin, not the smokers you decry. And let’s be honest. Forty plus posts later, all you have proved is that you can write a lot about being annoyed without actually changing anything. That is not principle. That is obsession-level frustration.
  12. Hummin, you’ve made over forty posts on this topic of yours moaning about people lighting up in public, near tourists, near families, in restaurants. We get it, you don’t like the smell. But some do like the scent of its pungent terpenes and the moment you try to elevate your own personal tastes into some grand principle, it collapses under its own contradictions. First, you admit you smoke it yourself. So you’re not on some higher platform standing outside the issue, you’re conflicted and your own consumption makes you part of it. You just want to set yourself up as the judge of when and where it’s acceptable. That alone knocks the legs out from under your moral high ground. Then there’s your comparison game. You shout about joints ruining the atmosphere but skip right past all the alcohol consumers and drunks whom are vomiting, screaming, and fighting in the very same public spaces you say are being tainted by pot smokers. Alcohol causes a thousand times the nuisance but somehow that gets a free pass from you while a whiff of cannabis is your crusade. That isn’t principle, it’s selective outrage. And you keep calling for “responsibility,” but when pressed you fall back on this vague idea that people should just know better. In plenty of these public places there aren’t even rules posted, no signage, no consistent enforcement. You can’t demand people follow invisible rules and then claim they’re “ignorant” for not reading your mind. The truth is simple. Until the government lays down and enforces clear regulations, which is something they may never even do, some people will smoke in public and some won’t like it. If you want change, it may or may not happen. It's not in your hands or anyone else's, nor is it your place to decide, only the government and the law end authorities are in a position to curb the so-called issue that gets your back up. But ranting for page after page about how annoyed you are doesn’t solve anything. Right now, all you’ve really done is show that you dislike the smell and want your personal irritation treated like law. That’s not a principle, it’s just a gripe. And forty plus posts later, it still doesn’t add up to more than that.
  13. Hummin, you’ve spent 20 odd posts saying the exact same thing: “what’s the law and what’s enforced are two different things.” Congratulations, you’ve just described Thailand, not uncovered some hidden conspiracy. That’s how it works here, always has, always will. You complain shops opened on shaky ground. True. You complain the government is clumsy and political. True. You complain about selective enforcement. True again. But none of that is news to anyone who has actually lived here longer than a visa run. The bottom line is simple: recreational cannabis was never made legal, only medical under rules. The shops gambled, the government let it run, now they’re pulling it back. End of story. Everything you’ve been ranting about boils down to that one line. So after dozens of posts, the “big revelation” is that Thailand is inconsistent and muddled in how it makes and enforces rules. Thanks, but we already knew. The rest is just you spinning your wheels. That’s Thailand, always has been, always will be. There’s no mystery here, and nothing left for you to explain. Welcome to the real world in Thailand. Best to understand and accept it like the everyone else has and move on.
  14. Oh, and now your worried about which way Elon wipes?
  15. Sounds like a niggling problem you should try and get sorted.
  16. @GammaGlobulin If you have to dispose of your own underwear so often, does that mean your life is actually pretty sh*tty most of the time?
  17. Your writing is really poor. Flow, structure, everything. Sorry, I am just being perfectly honest, and I think most people here would agree. If you used AI to help you write, your work would be less disjointed and nonsensical, and it might read as less like drivel. Others might actually start reading it more if it were less childish and if it did not drift into so much unhinged, meaningless gibberish. This could be a big improvement for you. You should consider it, if not for your own sake, then at least for the benefit of others.
  18. Time to finally face reality. Anutin, the man who legalized cannabis in 2022, is now Prime Minister. The country is literally being led now by Thailand’s loudest pro-cannabis political advocate. So if you were banking on some big clamp down, you might want to let that dream go. All your frantic posts, polls, and meltdowns just became even more pointless than they already were, because the person in charge of the entire country is the very one who opened the door in the first place. Thailand has chosen its path, and it is the exact opposite of your crusade, which now looks more like an exercise in self-inflicted misery than anything else. On top of that, let’s not forget you are not a policymaker, not a local, not anyone with a stake in the matter. You are just another needless temporary visitor, and what other tourists choose to do for their own enjoyment is none of your concern. The more you post, the clearer it becomes that this is not about Thailand at all, but about your own inability to let go of the truth. Maybe it’s time to accept the reality in front of you and find something more productive to obsess over before this issue chews through whatever so-called piece of questionable sanity you are still attempting to cling to.
  19. If someone is sitting in another country obsessing over foreigners smoking cannabis in Thailand from the other side of the world, then they really need to take a deep hard look at themselves. Who would let their own mind ruminate over some minutia that is so trivial like this? Plus, what people choose to do on their holidays for their own pleasure is not anyone else’s concern, and it is certainly not worth the petulant posts, the whining, or the histrionic polls that are now being spammed on the forum about it. Honestly, the way someone is fixated on this says far more about them than it does about those who are on holiday are enjoying themselves. Perhaps instead of proselytizing against strangers who are on vacation, they should consider why this issue burrows so deeply under their skin and consumes them beyond reason. It sounds like what is really needed here is not a public forum for support but a therapeutic intervention to help sort things out.
  20. That's a different phrase. That's Khee Neow that means stingy. Learn some basic Thai. You clearly need it.
  21. are in existence who have never rubbed one out? None?
  22. If you only have sex with women, but enjoy watching porn with transsexuals, does that make you gay, bisexual or something else?
  23. I can already feel it boys, we’re just moments away from you blessing us with another one of your own greatest hits topics. The suspense is unbearable. Tell you what, I’ll even help speed things along and draft it for you: Subject: Have you ever visited Thailand? Post: If so, where? Apologies, I forgot to sprinkle in the usual third grade grammar mistakes and random misspellings you like to add for your signature touch. Feel free to adjust it as necessary. What’s that, the topic was about reading crap? No worries. I’d only ever accuse you of writing it.
