I have just done a Google search for this story in the USA, where it supposedly happened and, like you the internet cannot point me in the direction of any story. However when I removed "in the USA" from the search line it threw up a completely different area of the world. NOT in the USA but in the big village 6km away from where I live. It does say however that it is an AI generated story and it also says this, This is for informational purposes only. For medical advice or diagnosis, consult a professional. Generative AI is experimental. So is it a real story or is it like the one in the thread now running?

But would they even want it back?

But whose truth are you speaking of? I generally tend to believe doctors, scientists and immunologists, mainly because they spend a long time being trained, and most of them know their particular subject very well Now are you a trained doctor or immunologist who is currently active in the medical world, or are you a self proclaimed anonymous keyboard operator hiding behind an alias with a bias against the medical and pharmaceutical profession. I am 80 years old and I see the doctor when I feel it necessary. If the doctor suggests that I need a vaccination or some meds, I tend to believe him as that is his job, that he has been trained for. I wouldn't ask him to fix my car, I would go to a mechanic for that. Nor would I ask a mechanic to sort out a medical problem for me. So why should I believe a poster on AN who is anonymous, and with no medical qualifications?

I have had 9 requests this month, each with an SMS OTP from Linked In to change my password. I have NEVER asked to change my password, nor do I live in Venezuela where the email request came from. All the OTP requests ended up deleted and in my spam file.

Thank you. I only see his posts if somebody replies to him. Because that is the only time I see them, he and it doesn't bother me anymore. I used to respond but I found that his posts were getting stranger every time. There are still a couple of posters that I read, simply for the entertainment and laughter value and most days they post wilder and wilder stories, but add little or nothing to the value of any thread they post on.

Put him on ignore. Starve him of a response. He is already in a world of his own.

There is a huge difference in shooting at tin cans, paper targets and glass bottles in shooting at disciplined troops who are properly trained and shooting back at a rabble of undisciplined people who are self taught. Of course @Yagoda won't go and fight anyone who fights back. The biggest problem in annexing a country is that you will have to garrison it, which in the case of a country the size of Canada (or Greenland for that matter), the USA will need an enormous amount of boots on the ground. I wouldn't fight on the ground for Canada either, but that is because I am 80 years old and walk with a stick. That doesn't mean that I don't support them though.

Of course she does. It is HER shop in HER country and she has probably been in the business for a while. If she wants to sell goods banned in Thailand, that is up to her. If she did and was reported, fined and jailed that would be her problem also, not yours or anybody else's. Stop with the nit picking and whataboutery. Don't project your values in somebody else's country. She seems to sell what the majority of customers want. If she didn't, then she would go out of business. She is making a living the best way that she can. If what she sells offends you personally, then just walk away from the shop and don't buy anything from there. Whilst you may be offended, the people that buy her stock are obviously not offended as they are buyers. There are many things worldwide that offend me, but I live with them as other people are not offended. It is their choice and mine also.

But objectionable to whom? 1 particular tourist or to the majority of people?

Probably because she understands the penalties involved and realises that the majority of her customers are Thai and not farangs. She also seems to have more common sense than you. Why don't you go into the business of selling negative monarchy shirts? You probably won't find a supplier to sell you the shirts in the first place, nor will you find many buyers. Why not try it and see how you get on?

She has the right to sell what she wants in her country. Nobody is forced to buy them. If the guy being pushed out of the shop is so upset, he has 2 choices. 1 He can buy them all and do what he wants with them. 2 He can simply walk on by and ignore the shirts, the shop and the owner. What he does NOT have the right to do. is to tell the owner what she can or cannot sell.

Somewhere not long before or after 2pm out here in rural Kamphaeng Phet I started swaying a little in my chair for about a minute. I though it was something to do with me and a balance problem. My wife was lying on the sofa and never felt a thing. She has just come back from the big village 6km away (17:30) and the villagers all felt it there. We live about half way between Chiang Mai and Bangkok and only about 40km from the Myanmar border as the crow flies over the hills. My first, and hopefully last, experience of an earthquake.

Y never needed a business plan as I was never in the restaurant business. Reading some of the posts so far from people that have been in the business, I am glad that I never was, either. It was never in my skill set.

Did you ever hear of supply costs, wages. rents and electricity bills going down? If the costs keep rising, the restaurant will have to find cheaper and lower quality suppliers and cut the portion sizes, and even then the customers may still walk away if the cannot afford the prices or the quality and portion size drops too far.

It is not just the restaurants that will die, but their suppliers all the way back to the farm producers will have to cut back or die as well.

Most of them have nothing better to do with their pathetic little lives. so they moan and whine, try to drown the normal posters out, and hijack threads.

Back in 1954 there used to be an alliance in the Region called SEATO. South East Asia Treaty Organisation. Sadly it was dissolved in 1977. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia_Treaty_Organization

The one thing that is not going up very much are the wages. If the prices keep rising, but salaries don't. eating out at a restaurant will be a dying thing.

But not enough voters put their mark to vote that party into power. Unless ANY political party either on its own or with other parties can form a government or a coalition then they cannot run the country. What is so difficult to understand about that? You may not like that but it is a simple fact of life as is the fact that unless you have Thai nationality you have no voice or vote in any Thai election, which is how it should be. You can howl at the moon, moan all you like but Thailand is unlikely to change. So you have the choice of accepting or not accepting the rules as they are, or trying to change the rules, which won't be changed in your favour anyway.

I understand that. I put our last 2 dogs down and I was not happy about having to do it either. They are still up in the back where I buried them. I put them down as they were stealing and eating other peoples chickens and ducks, which is not a good thing to do in rural Thailand. I would do it differently if I had to do it again, but it wouldn't stop the sadness I felt back then.

I DO live in Thailand and if it were my dog, I would have it put down or put if down myself. BTW where a person lives has nothing to do with the thread.

How sad. One person has been murdered, another is seriously wounded and yet you think that is amusing.

He will never believe anything that you say. He is a Trump supporter and will only believe anything that comes from Trump. IMHO you are better off putting him on ignore and starve him of a response. He has been on my ignore list for several months now.

He doesn't want it both ways. The Trump version is the only version that he will accept. Facts have no effect on him, only what his supreme leader spouts is the true version.
