Must be a desperate call for promoted attention, as it applies for Apple everywhere these days.

 

They've long had issues with their products/technology [especially Iproducts] and increasingly finding it more difficult to compete in a much more quality driven market. Very American business approach.

How are they victims?

Everything is working somehow, so just let it be.

The pope should focus first on the problem of his army of kiddy-penetrating priests.

Hi all

Last week I was able to quickly download the IOS 12 for my pad and Iphone X.  Even yesterday I updated my Watch IOS quickly.

Last night was trying to download Mojave but after a long time spinning each time it makes an error notice.  And trying to download IOS 12 for a friend for the iPad Pro it just doesn't do anything.  I'm thinking a lot of people are downloading Mojave at the moment?  That's what I'm figuring....what do you think?

Sorry for slow reply, S. Just go to the Amazon shop window and enter 'caving conspiracy' and you'll spot the Matt Downey book. Click on that and there's a description that more than gives a clue as to what went on . . . OK?

Doesn’t seem like it’s a very exciting plot. Very one dimensional. Wonder if they will add a lot ‘Boiiinnnnggg’ sound effects to it. Maybe add a katoey for comic relief.

Thousands Of Foreigners Turned Away At Thai Airports

 

BANGKOK — More than 3,600 foreigners with criminal records have been arrested at or turned away from five major airports in the first six months of the year, immigration police said Sunday.

 

I'm curious, when someone is turned away at immigration, how do they get them back on a plane if they aren't allowed through the immigration gate?

At least the ones not sanctioned by mafia/police.

Nice soundtrack behind this 'news'.  sounds like Pirates of the Caribbean.

Personally, I think inflated numbers being the core of the discussion here is like peeing in your pants when dreaming that you went to the toilet – it's as far off target as can be. One is one to many, when it comes to children. Bickering about numbers is depraved.

 

It's simple, don't give if you don't want to give. I personally don't give because I don't really have much.

I suppose it comes down for me to these NGOs being truthful.  If they are revealed not to have integrity then you begin to question if the donations being given are being spent with integrity as well.  Just choose where you invest in something like this carefully.  Many charitable organisations spend up to 80% of donations on 'admin costs'.

Before you give you can start here:  https://www.charitywatch.org/home

I looked through their site and didn't find it. 26 is a stupid age to call someone a child of course. I'm not arguing that World Vision aren't a bad NGO, they are corrupt,  I'm just saying there is a problem with child trafficking.

Of course here is a problem.  But it is disingenuous of NGOs to inflate what is probably an issue involving hundreds of children to what they stated awhile back, which was there was something like over 1 million children in the sex trade.  They rely of course on donations and coercion so need to show numbers like that.

There are a lot of issues with this report.

There a re a lot of sleazy NGO organizations out for profit. 

 

But none of that is reason to dismiss the problem of sex trafficking of underage children whether World Vision classifies a 26 year old as a child or not.

 

(Don't believe that for a minute as I googled the hell out of it and couldn't find anything to back it. If you got sources please post.)

I saw it in their site a few years ago.

This one is quite tasty and easy to make. There are dozens, hundreds maybe, others on YouTube.

I would buy it if I could, but finding low carb bread is a challenge ( although Villa Market now stocks "high protein bread" in a couple of brands, expensive at 260 baht for a tiny packet.

plus the high protein bed is not really low carb.

You can get almond flour in Tops in the baking section - 100 baht a bag, which isn't bad.  I buy several bags when I see it and that lasts me awhile.

Alright, thanks, will sign out now.

I can't find the option to delete my account.  Things here have changed and I need to dissociate myself with Thaivisa...I want all of my records from here to be gone.  Please lead me in the right direction to delete my account.

Thanks!

Well, I guess it's time for me to break ties with Thaivisa.  Reading through some but not all of the pages here, I can see how homophobic and hate-filled this place has become. 

Used to be much more tolerant of a place.  I just don't think I can support a site that openly allows and seems to encourage its users to joke about rape, torture, even what seems to be hints at mass incarceration and extermination of gay people.  And meanwhile saying that 'oh we are just kidding', it doesn't help, because you are not joking, those of you who made those comments.  And they are not funny.

And so I know that it doesn't really matter to any of you that I leave Thaivisa after being a reader for over a decade.  That's ok, you will probably even say snarky things about me as I depart but I won't be around to read it so it doesn't really matter. 

I will however make sure to tell anyone I meet looking for resources on Thailand to avoid Thaivisa, because it tolerates and even seems to support homophobia and racism as well.  At least that way I can help you guys to avoid anyone who has an open mind or is progressive not to bother in your fun little group.

Take care, I had some great times, but this is the last post I read here that makes me feel sad over what this place has become.  It's just not part of my game plan anymore to have to face the hate many of you bring. 

Bye!
