Out of those I only watched GOT. Tried Yellowstone and too boring, never heard of succession. I did like such as the Good wife, Nikita, Ally McBeal, Black list etc, but preferred older British tv series. British and American humour really is different, and I'm not surprised an American didn't like Monty Python. I guess you wouldn't like The Goons either. BTW, Star Trek was pretty good, because it started out small and grew, unlike the atrocious version with Captain Picard, which was IMO a woke monstrocity trying to use the original's reputation to gain viewers. 2004 version of Battlestar Galactica was far and away better than the Picard garbage.

The orphanage will be able to advise you on that if they are legit. The Pattaya orphanage ( Father Ray's ) has western volunteers. Check out their web site or get in touch with them about it.

I'd rather be single and never have sex than get involved with an 8 or above self entitled princess that thinks they are special, and men are privileged to be allowed anywhere near her. I'd rather be with an average looking woman that actually likes me and doesn't expect me to be a wealthy superstud.

LOL. I worked with hundreds of educated western women and none of them were jumping into beds with men they didn't know for one night stands. As for 10's, I've only met about 2 in real life- yet apparently super hot western women are flocking to Asia in the hopes of finding a western super stud. Sounds like something in a James Bond book.

Actual AI will be better than quantum computers IMO, so breaking bank codes will be a breeze. We do not yet have autonomous computers that can learn independently, so IMO we do not have actual AI.

and when you were born my life was better! We may not have had personal computers or social media, but we never needed them anyway. I don't know anything that has become better because there are more people.

Volunteer at an orphanage then. Feel good to help, and fill in time.

LOL. I had 2 relationships and in both the love was only going one way, from me to them. They sure fooled me though ( till I wised up ). I did get to know them, as their first persona, but they changed to something else.

No will be about it. Voice cloning is already being used to scam people. It's already here and most of us probably never even noticed. Wait till AI is used to break bank codes....................... So much for on line banking.

If all he needs is a bar stool and a burger sounds like he's got life sorted to me. Us idiots that live in the rat race are the real losers IMO. Endlessly running in the hamster wheel buying <deleted> and conforming to the lemming life sucks.

The temple south of Lamphun where they filmed part of a Rambo movie ( think number 3 ) up on a high hill above the temple of the Budha's feet. Sadly, none of the monks remembered anything about making the movie there, and there was nothing to commemorate it. I could have lived at that temple rest of my life if able- a fantastic vibe there. If anyone chooses to go there, drive up, as the staircase is probably longer than the one up to Doi Suthep.

Disagree. Thai cities are IMO all lookalike concrete jungles with no character. Thai countryside if great though, but the further from tourists the better. Only thing I liked about Bkk was Nana.

Best places I visited were far from tourists and preferably where I was the only farang. Best trip, a forest road from Phrae to Sirikit dam on which we were advised not to travel ( very bad road, very bad road ) by locals. The road was indeed bad, and not for unskilled drivers with an unsuitable vehicle, but even there, Thais on their trusty motorbikes had carved out smallholdings. Never got past second gear for the entire 3 hour trip in the forest. Bliss.

Are there any forums not inhabited by some stupid or nasty abusive posters? At least on this forum I have been able to put most on ignore, which improved my on forum time.

Don't need to follow politics to feel that way. Just read a newspaper or watch tv news and it might make one all of them.

Assuming humanity doesn't pollute itself to extinction, AI can be either the best thing that can happen for us, IF it's given to ALL of us, or the worst thing possible if the uber rich keep it for themselves. Only have to look at the US actors reason for striking to know what's in store if the rich <deleted> keep it for themselves.

I don't need to watch anyone to know that humanity has a bleak future. I don't think we are in for a terminator ending, as likely to have polluted ourselves to extinction before that could happen. Only thing I'm going to regret missing out on as I depart this life are programmable sexbots.

If they are on ignore they are welcome to make an annoying noise as long as they like. If I don't see them, they ain't annoying me.

Not bothered either way.

For anyone that likes fantasy and sword shows, IMO Game of Thrones series 1 to 7 could not be beat. Pity about series 8. I really wanted to see Arya stick the pointy end of Needle into Cersi, but they gave Cersi a nicer ending- too woke by far.

They use architects in Thailand? Looking at the standard of some buildings it looks more like Somechai's 5 year old nephew designed them. Seriously, I'm sure the billion baht projects use qualified professionals, but for less prestigious constructions perhaps not so. If there was a serious earthquake in Pattaya, I'm sure that not many buildings would still be standing after.

Perhaps the problem isn't balcony heights in LOS, but the drunken yobs that have no common sense. If they banned those that are likely to get drunk and fall off buildings from entry, it would make for a better experience in LOS, IMO.

The topic isn't about balconies in the UK. Thais are under no obligation to cater for farang heights. In Thailand people are expected to have responsibilities for their own actions- it's not a nanny state like the west ( thank goodness ).

I stayed in many places over decades, visited many tourist attractions, and in general your contention is not correct, IMO. Indeed, some were deficient, but not the majority. I did not stay in places over 1,000 baht normally.

Well, OK then, but if we are going to use likes to prove something, I've got 47,485.
