  1. @Mark1969 If I want someone to understand what I am doing, I make it easy for them. I make a hand gesture ushering them to safety. 95% of the time I am understood immediately and get a positive nod. Sometimes I have to repeat to make it clear. None of it is such an issue for me, that I stop caring. Whereas you have demonstrated that in fact it is you who is dropping your standards and no longer caring. In my life it is quite the opposite, the locals and I are all taking care of each other. Compensating for any little mistakes/imperfections and not getting mad about it, at least not for long. Easy to dissipate any misunderstanding and restore peace and love. That's how it is in my world, which is confirmed with my interactions with people. Your world is different...because of you and the way you are.
  2. @Mark1969 With your reply, you are clearly illustrating your issue. Do you eat the same meal every day when on your home turf? I learn things from everywhere I go and use that in my everyday life. When I cook, I use those influences. Whereas you are pretty much stating that you only like the food that you know from back home, eschewing strange foreign food. You've stopped learning. You are stuck somewhere. Those who can still learn and adapt, can do so anywhere. Make the best of their situation. Those who cannot, will remain in a constant state of discomfort and anxiety. For breakfast, I had 'no nitrite' bacon with scrambled eggs and a wholewheat croissant. For lunch, maybe some local street food or hole in the wall restaurant. For dinner, seafood noodles Jiangsu style. Does that sound as if I have 'gone native' or just have a broader palette with which to work? Whereas you appear locked into the same pattern. No growth. You are looking for a problem that fits your solution. Some perfect place. Whereas I work with what is available and make it great. Adapt or die...
  3. Hey @Mark1969 They likely just have a different perspective on life, one that you cannot follow nor recognise. Your world is the way that you imagine it. If you imagine people are staring at you... I imagine I have a great life and so a great life is what I have. It's like a prism that you create. So everything that you are seeing...is actually you. Your reactions, your responses to things that you imagine are happening. It's your brain that is interpreting everything in that way. My brain processes the information in a different way, hence a completely different experience. Your issue is that you cannot easily break your habits of a lifetime. You cannot adapt to each new situation. It won't be surprising to read about new issues you have with your next location. You need to work on yourself.
  4. Nice to see the forum weirdoes all congregating. Keeps them busy from Trolling elsewhere. Foreigner haters. Hater haters. Haters... 🙂
  5. Net Marathon MAX Internet speed 15Mbps, 50GB per month No FUP Open a new number within 30 days 3 months 590 baht *777*7697#
  6. @ColeBOzbourne The OP has history. This is not the only thread of it's kind by the OP. There are variations on a theme. For instance, asking where to find apartments where there are no security to face when entering or exiting. Having to cope with interacting with them in any way appeared to be too much. Criticising local wait staff for being 'simps' for being attentive. There are many threads with the OP under a different username with this sort of thing. Hence my asking them if it is getting worse or staying the same.
  7. If just for data, there is a 3 month Marathon Max pack for 590 baht https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i5024859511.html Then no need to top up at all. In the service centres and shops, they seem loathe to sell you just a prepaid SIM without trying to force you to buy a 300+ baht package. That strategy may have already failed, but better that you are aware what might happen. Hence the suggestion to just buy a SIM or eSIM online, to add the package of your choice. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i1487422386.html https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i1487274400.html The three best all round options are All Together 250, 300 and 350. Since Altogether 300 sits nicely in the middle, I'll illustrate that one. All together 300 5G internet 20GB (+15Mbps internet speed 60GB per month) FUP 1Mbps Unlimited free calls to all networks (15 minutes/call) Free unlimited AIS WIFI AIS Play family free Free internet for the first month (20GB) *777*7693# Free internet for 2-6 months (20GB) *777*23002# To apply, top up 300 baht and enter *777*9272# and then hit the Call key. 100GB per month that then slows to 1 Mbps if you use it up. If 50 baht means a lot to you, then you can look at the 250. All together 250 5G internet 10GB (+15Mbps internet speed 45GB per month) FUP 384Kbps Unlimited free calls to all networks (15 minutes/call) Free unlimited AIS WIFI AIS Play family free Free internet for the first month (10GB) *777*7673# Free internet for 2-6 months (20GB) *777*22502# To apply, top up 300 baht and enter *777*9284# and then hit the Call key. 65GB to 75GB per month that then slows to 384kbps if you use it up.
  8. @Hummin I agree. So hopefully we won't see another of your posts here. Next time, tighten up your testicles and actually speak to the people who are offending you by smoking in public, rather than coming here and anonymously attacking people.
  9. @Hummin Just like you didn't appreciate someone telling you in front of your wife, that she would leave as soon as your money ran out, you might understand that you repeating the same nonsense over and over again, may annoy some here. But you appear to revel in it. Perhaps the person saying the things in front of your wife also revelled in rubbing your face in it and this is your revenge. Nothing is going to change for most people who wish to use cannabis. Most here probably use it discreetly, so your standing on a soapbox here is totally out of place. You just make yourself look like a ranting nutter. This is from a neutral point of view, wondering why you are still here when you are obviously not wanted. It's actually just really weird. It doesn't change a thing, especially if you are suggesting that people here have been stupid, without you having even a shred of evidence of even a single person doing something out of line. A bit like someone suggesting your woman was only with you for your money. You must be a handsome specimen if he thought that. Of course we all know that yours is different. But it was still annoying to you wasn't it? So maybe the people here are different and don't take kindly to you calling them stupid. You'll need to accept that you are the one with a (mental) problem, eventually.
  10. @JimTripper @Mark1969 should you be walking around unsupervised? This is something we've talked about before. Is it getting worse or is it much the same?
  11. Most, if not all AB will have the option to sideload application, so that's not an issue. Be aware that there are many versions of HK1 RBox. Not all will support HDR 10+/Dolby Vision. Caveat Emptor
  12. I don't have the same problem. It's just you. Did you download the subtitles?
  13. All seems a bit confused. Writing about PIN and security questions and Microsoft accounts. These are all separate things. I don't think there are security questions when using a PIN. Security questions are for when you forget your password. The OP seems to be all over the shop... https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/change-or-reset-your-pin-in-windows-a386c519-3ab2-b873-1e9b-bb228a98b904
  14. Did you enable Developer Mode beforehand? Check and install any updates before attempting to go into Developer Mode.
  15. You made a somewhat definitive statement there. What proof do you have that it won't download when using Google TV OS? Your description of your intended Android box purchase gives me the idea that you don't check the detail.
  16. https://www.tvsubtitles.net/tvshow-303-2.html No one really understands what you are writing... Came up from where? Are we supposed to guess?
  17. Forty six years old...
  18. @BritManToo But it needs something... a sunny side up fried egg at least. Grilled/baked tomatoes. It looks exceedingly dry.
  19. @KhunLA Not being a political animal, your writing comes over as from a bit of a nutjob. Is everyone's perspective merely just their version of reality? With your imagination no more valid than anyone else's?
  20. @Yellowtail The current evidence indicates that the shooter followed Laura Loomer, who accused Kirk of being a traitor to Trump. Apparently she has been deleting her posts and has reverted to pretending that Kirk is to be revered. Cowardly and despicable.
  21. I don't believe that you believe that @Yellowtail It appears that you are playing 'follow the leader'. Just copying the lying and gaslighting style. Pathetic, but it seems the American public is truly gullible.
  22. No @Yellowtail All the hatred and abuse that I read here on the forums is from the 'right wing' nutjobs.
  23. I guess when your brand is to try to rile people up as much as possible, it should not have come as a surprise that someone got riled up. Up to him, he chose his path. From the video that someone posted, it didn't appear that he was about speaking the truth, but merely illustrated a combative style of debate, where he belittled and talked over the students. Another right wing extremist dressed up as someone reasonable.
  24. I think the actual nutjobs here are blind to themselves. Every day spouting hatred for 'leftists' or anything they can think of really. Every day.
