  1. You could try Appen. They offer menial online tasks. If you're looking for an extra 20,000 THB per month to supplement your pension, then it could be worth looking at. I have never worked with them myself, so I can't give you any info on them, but they have been around a long time. https://appen.com/join-our-crowd-2/#part_time
  2. From 2023, reported psychotic fits and rage murders have increased significantly in Thailand (as can be seen on this forum where at least one is reported per day). So your rationale is that, for some reason, news outlets decided this year to report a lot more of such cases?
  3. Television news is over 7 decades old, Internet news is over 2 decades old.
  4. The daily occurrence of people going into uncontrollable fits of ultraviolence (sometimes even children) is very new, I have been living here since 2009. I don't buy the "it's just reported more than it used to" explanation, why would they suddenly decide to report more murders? Especially in a country which is so touchy about its image? It seems Thai people are becoming increasingly violent and erratic, and this needs to be looked into seriously.
  5. "But it's extremely raaaaare", will bleat the sheep. I hope more and more vax injured people will speak up as you do, so the dam cracks open once and for all.
  6. Actually it does. My country (France) has become extremely dangerous (far more than Thailand).
  7. The news outlets are the same now as 5 years ago.
  8. That's the response I get systematically, but it would have to be backed by a modicum of evidence.
  9. Clockwork Orange Thailand. Not a day goes by without at least one such report of ultraviolence. It didn't use to be like that. This is a new phenomenon that has to be looked into seriously.
  10. And the fact that the Pfizer CEO himself had a bad feeling about it but was pretty much forced into it tells you all you need to know: mRNA was a technology, but we had less experience, only two years working on this, and actually, mRNA was a technology that never delivered a single product until that day, not vaccine, not any other medicine. So it was very counterintuitive, and I was surprised when they suggested to me that this is the way to go, and I questioned it. And I asked them to justify how can you say something like that, but they came, and they were very, very convinced that this is the right way to go. https://www.washingtonpost.com/washington-post-live/2022/03/10/transcript-wp-subscriber-exclusive-albert-bourla-author-moonshot-inside-pfizers-nine-month-race-make-impossible-possible/
  11. I can confirm 100% that Boots have it. So even if a particular outlet don't have any at hand, they can most likely order it. And I also got some from LAB pharmacy.
  12. You can still get it in any pharmacy.
  13. Germany has, as the taxpayers there are currently paying for compensations to the numerous injured people.
  14. The most prominent example of bad parenting is not being bothered to take care of your kids and dumping them with the grandparents. Officially to go work and earn money… but when said money is spent on a top of the range car one can't afford… enough said. My parents always drove cheap cars, but they were with me every day.
  15. The adverse effects of the Covid vaccines are very current news.
  16. Wikipedia is not a source of information but an intelligence and propaganda tool, according to the site's co-founder. Ex-Wikipedia Co-Founder Says Site Hijacked by US Intelligence for ‘Info Warfare’ https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/09/alert-ex-wikipedia-co-founder-says-site-hijacked/
  17. But you are ignoring the Overton Window, i.e. the accepted paradigm at a given time, which shifts. For example, until the 1990s, your last two points would have landed in the 'conspiracy nutter' category.
  18. Those who strongly believed in conspiracy theories were also more likely to be insecure, paranoid, emotionally volatile, impulsive, suspicious, withdrawn, manipulative, egocentric and eccentric. Yep, that's me. Spot on, as always.
  19. Never breathed my own carbon dioxide and never will. I'm with Fauci on this one: Dr. Anthony Fauci wrote in February 2020 that store-bought face masks would not be very effective at protecting against the COVID-19 pandemic and advised a traveler not to wear one. https://www.newsweek.com/fauci-said-masks-not-really-effective-keeping-out-virus-email-reveals-1596703
  20. |...] it just says the quality of the evidence in the studies they looked at was too low to draw conclusions.[...] That's good enough for me.
  21. A new study quoting epidemiologist Tom Jefferson demonstrates that masks don't work, and of course Fauci is doing his best to justify his actions on the matter. It would be funny if the implications weren't so serious. The piece quotes lead study author Tom Jefferson, an Oxford epidemiologist, as saying: “There is just no evidence that [masks] make any difference. Full stop.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/dr-fauci-covid-masks-cochrane-review-b2404761.html
  22. The problem is that most Thais have the village habit of just riding around helmetless, and they keep this habit whenever they are in the city, whether long or short-term. Hit them in the wallet, that's the only thing they will understand. They will never stop riding helmetless in and around the village, but will do once they hit the main roads and cities, where there is most danger, for fear of being pulled over and fined. A good example of this is the car tax, that pink square with the current year on it. This is systematically checked by the cops and therefore villagers who haven't paid it don't drive on the main roads or in the cities, because they dont want to be fined. Apply that logic to the helmets and I am sure it will work.
