Quoting CNN. I can't.

If I had a satang for every time I wonder if I even understand English..........

Going to Pattaya!!!!! Will round up 10,000 AIDS-infested workers and ship them to the enemy!!! Then I'll get some of that 99.99% gold and build a submarine. Go to "The Island" and open up Jurassic Park XVI, have my T-Rex's to protect me while 10 million EDM devices will keep planes away. Then I'll simply build a space ship, clone aliens by the billions, take over China, force all farangs to work in the mines, and make sure overstay means you swim with the sharks. Great question, better answer!!!! Now ask about when zombies take over China.

There is currently no other currency (or arrangement of currencies) that could challenge the US dollar’s preeminence, however. Even a smaller role of the dollar in global trade transactions would not immediately challenge its reserve currency status, given the lack of investment alternatives in other currencies at a scale comparable to US markets. The dollar has also benefited from strong global network effects that would be difficult to replace (that is, the costs for any country to divest into other currencies remain prohibitively high unless other countries do the same).

Who cares? 80 percent, 1, 100, who cares? The popularity contest is over. Over a billion people know who he is, and the eight billion living on this rock will have some haters. who cares? nobody knows their name or their country or their president. they get bitter, mad, and need to drag everyone down. way easier to fall than rise. you can spend years of your only life worried about someone else, or help yourself. I'm off to save 100 kittens from a burning building in Pattaya and will donate billions to the local bars. it's a small offering, all i can do.

Why would you say this? ah, so what you're saying is............................

anyone who is outside of America cannot possibly be retired or working, so I agree. You can only retire or work in America if you are an American. Once I met a guy in Thailand who was 90 and told me he was retired and no longer working, I showed him your post and now he realizes that's impossible. Back to America and into the mines!!!!

There are earthquakes every single second of every single day. some are negative. true. ask AI. Because there's a better than 0.0% chance tomorrow is 7 or higher, I'm off to Pattaya!!!!!! Ploy, keep my stool warm.

If i were there I would have jumped on the attacker, pinned him down, and neutralized the perimeter. I'm 98, but I feel not a day older than 20. All my hippy days prepared me for this. look Marge, it's raining. nap time. USA might need reasons for a future attack. Remember, we are in a simulation. this is likely a diversion strategy against NPC as the real "war" goes on abroad. don't worry, Pattaya Paul is on the case!!!!

bad rubber plus bad road plus bad luck equals good luck.

I'm sure it will be a Mai bpen rai my good man!!!! We are only talking about money. All is forgotten. The head of snake and the entire snake will forget this loan forever. Just like with gang bangers and prison. Once inside, the outside is totally forgotten. or not.

so close, but yet nobody (in public) ever brings it up. At least 5,350 civilians have been killed, and more than 3.3 million displaced, since the military seized power on 1 February 2021, and over half the population is living below the poverty line mainly due to violence perpetrated by the national armed forces. Furthermore, nearly 27,400 people have been arrested, and numbers have been rising since the implementation of mandatory conscription this past February.

I can't imagine anyone in uni (if applicable, hope it is) says, "I'll go to Thailand where I can't speak the language, girls will only want my money, the heat will beat me down, and i'll cough because of the smoke as immigration bangs on my door while I eat my 20 baht noodle soup!!!" This has been a great decade escape before retirement. Probably one more year and then back home. I can't tell you how many farangs have asked me for money, favors, confessed crimes, drank at noon, etc......that's fine but it's not for me forever. girls are fine, but not to marry. deep conversation impossible place is beautiful, and a decade is long enough to enjoy. easy, easy, easy, easy life. that's what i wanted, but not forever. cheapest place in the world as far as food and housing (except for the weekly farang food). yes, things are getting more expensive now but it's relative. you must be social, make real friends, connections, be rooted in a community. that's not really possible here, i saw that during COVID. that's fine, never called this place home. but I think overall everyone (Thais) have been wonderful. slight regret. 10 years was too long. 7-8 was right. everyone should do it, but if you have the financial means i'd rather be cold with a support group when i get well into my retirement. to each their own. some love it, some deal with it, some hate it. i'll rank this place 87/100. grumpy is, IMO, about regret and we must own it ourself. Has a little to do with Thailand, but more about a cumulation of bad decisions. When I was 28, I bet I knew this lifestyle would happen to me. 10 years of a real job back in America or 10 years of escape in Thailand. The grass isn't greener, just different. I'd probably be slightly grumpy back home as well. Only slightly. "so grumpy" really means you are lost, no hope, defeatist. Yes, you see that here and back home. very sad. could happen to anyone.

Examples, reasoning? Have you seen the current docket in the House and Senate, and every county where a dem resides in? They are actually quite busy. not paralyzed at all, maybe the opposite. Headline TikTok news isn't a good source of information. I do understand that it's fun to write stuff like, "The internet will be destroyed, and the Universe will end as commentators are shell-shocked and paralyzed by the recent political shift!" "Dems are unable to function, think, react or do anything as the common man cries at night!!!" but it's all just blah, blah, blah, blah.

can I try to get my four jabs out of my body?? Can I sue? horse, barn, door. better luck next time. oh.

Usually depends on your net worth. Musk upgrades every year. Oh, sooo crazy! Nah. I'm still using the same spoon from 1963. Some people use solid gold spoons. Yes, I would like new almost everything every day, but I only have 45 baht. So then I explain how that's better doe the environment. Give me 10 billion, I'll upgrade stuff.

Most Thai kids (30 and under) won't ask you three questions. lol. They're pretty shy. What is your name? instead of What's....that's OK. The other mistakes are usually because they are nervous. Where you from? How old are you? Are you married? How long Thailand? What is your favorite food? ... So, yea, conversational English is pretty terrible; however, it's just not taught effectely in school. Most kids in school won't engage in speaking English unless they have to, with a few exceptions in the front row. Now, I do think Thais can read English better than we can read Thai. They can write in English OK, not great. Speaking, nah, too many Non-natives growing up really does throw a wrench in those plans. Maths, Science, not sure, but at least they are trying both subjects in English. Overall, yes, terrible; however, for 99.9% they don't make more money or get a prize if they improve. Schools don't care at all....blah, blah, blah gets you a 4.0 and you will 100% advance to the next grade. lol

5th floor, only fan, nice breeze from the balcony, didn't need the AC last month (first tme in many months) I just got my record bill in ten years in Thailand. 123 baht. for a month. yea, record LOW. Record high is probably only about 1500 so I'm not the digital, nomad AC 24 hours guru. Airbnb. never. Every place always tries to get you when you leave......common everywhere. my depoit here is only one month, I'll never do more.

Immediately hire a limo, say Pattaya city. Match on Tinder along the way, pick them up. 10k each for company per day. Get there, tip your driver 4000. Get out, anywhere, smell the stench. Follow the odor. It will lead to "paradise". Bring 50,000, help the economy. That's 50k a night. Per person. Next week, visit the clinic.

I just drive with about five crisp 500 baht notes. I drive by, handing them the 500 politely without stopping, and zoom off. helmet crackdown means it's time to pay the mia noi. i want to help them out. Now, if they made the fine of 10,000 baht, I'd be ordering the carbon, tank-modified, super-ventilated helmet. being on a motorbike is the worst decision anyone can make who has enough money to avoid being on one. death traps. if it's your passion and you are super skilled, Thailand still isn't the place. hate me all you want, risks don't outweigh the benefit IMO

It depends who "we" is. Who is 'we'? The biggest threat I face is slow internet, banking issues, crazy drivers, some made-up stuff, USD going to zero, housing prices going to zero, asteroid hitting my house back home... If you have time to even ponder such a question, you are are probably in the top 5 percent of all humans. I'm working 38 jobs, 87 hours a day, supporting 39 kids, 98 ex-wives, and I get 300 baht a day. I wish I had time for this. I was on the sub back during the Cuban missle crisis. I was at Normandy taking selfies. I was in the camps. I'm in Moscow, Ukraine, Burma, Chinese camps, Congo, S. Africa, Brazil, Venezuela, Isreal, etc.... nobody asks this. be happy you can even think about this. OMG, I just remembered...if MaMa noodles go to 8 baht I'm ruined

Soi Cowboy at 11:40 p.m. on New Year's Eve. yes, I'm the most interesting man in the world. my dullest is most people's fantasies. most of the time, I want dull. give me the sounds of nature. Ploy screaming over her sick buffalo, Item coughing all night, Ohm drinking at 8 a.m., and M with a customer in my bathroom gets old.

Got 4 shots. Yes, I will DIE!!!! 100%. The last shot was a few years ago, but I will still die. eventually. This is scientific proof. On the other hand, I would like to say that walking, thinking, sleeping, and reading will kill you.

I live in Las Vegas. 50 years. I've never gambled. I've never even seen a casino. I don't even know what baccarat is and if 9 or 0 means anything. Pattaya is a wonderful place filled with museums, food, buildings, weather, and water. It's exactly like American Amish country. Guilty by association is a false narrative or strawman. I demand everyone to take a polygraph test before posting!!!! Ask Ploy if she has ever seen you before? Talk to the buffalo!!! OK, time to head back to the temple for my weekly meditation retreat before I feed the poor (work permit) and feed the soi dogs. I've seen the videos and pictures of the super wealthy Indians, Brits, <deleted>, wonkers, Nigerians, who parade the paradise called Pattaya.
