  1. If it was me, I would contact multiple lawyers and agents and let them know that I am willing to pay the price for this to go away. With a bit of luck, one of them will know someone who can "sort it out". I would not expect it to be cheap though, possibly over 100k. In any case, they would probably be able to organise his exit in the less painful way possible, maybe with no detention, etc.
  2. Simple answer is don't take the p*ss, as this guy has.
  3. It matters not who Trump chooses, as long as this time he succeeds in removing this party "led" by a senile zombie who barely campaigned, couldn’t get anybody to show up to his rallies, and yet managed to receive the most votes in American history with 81 million, all while losing 18 of 19 bellwether counties and winning only 16% of counties overall…
  4. The vaccination business is worth billions… which are not redistributed for the good of mankind… and there is no liability for the pharmaceutical companies in case of injury. Privatisation of profits, socialisation of losses.

  6. To your average Thai man, the one on the right is very beautiful. They don't have the same criteria as we do.
  7. Thanks for the detailed explanation! Perhaps I will consider level 2 (Nespresso Vertuo) for my next purchase!
  8. I have to disagree with that. My newly acquired Dolce Gusto makes coffee which is pretty similar to what I would get in a café in France. A filter coffee maker could not produce that foam and texture. Of course there are better alternatives, but for 100 euros it's great value IMO.
  9. Three years into the nightmare, just one more to go.
  10. Definitely.
  11. I just got myself a Nescafe Dolce Gusto Mini Me on promotion on Lazada, 2,400 instead of 4,600. The pods are a bit pricey at 270 for a box of 16, which at 2 per day is a coffee budget of 1,000 per month. Worth it IMO as I prefer espressos to filtered coffee. I could easily combine it with instant though to reduce costs. Overall I'm happy with the purchase as it's also handy to have if you have people over at your place (being French, we drink espressos).
  12. With over 95% of the Australian population being vaccinated, they should be just fine. Or am I missing something?
  13. Haven't been to Pattaya in years, but there was a place that bought second hand cars on Sukhumvit, left handside coming from Soi Watboon going towards Pattaya Tai.
  14. Just look at the data. Don't restrict your world view to what the mainstream media authorises.
  15. Typing a name on a search engine to know whether one should listen to someone or not is the act of a slave.
  16. "You don't die from cancer out of the blue at 60." Yes you do. You should listen to Ed Dowd (even if the media tell you not to).
  17. True, and there were the mandates as well, quite a few of people I know were hesitant but did it because otherwise they would have lost their job. Still, the booster campaigns are flopping everywhere and a significant number of people have told me they would not do it again because they haven't felt well since, and the fact that the antivaxxers did not die as they were supposed to proves that this whole thing was overhyped. As you say, people were manipulated into fearing a threat, now the dust has settled and many feel deceived, and rightly so. I think this loss of trust in the authorities is deep and will only get worse.
  18. Mid-60s, no health issues, normal BMI. He was diagnosed with an agressive form of cancer in June, when he had his first symptoms, and in September he was dead. The fact that you don't believe people are dying out of the blue does not make it any less real – even if nobody wants to talk about it. https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2023-10-20/debates/69C5A514-9A04-4ED7-B56B-61A3D40E3226/TrendsInExcessDeaths
  19. But as life is unfair, us stupid and deplorable antivaxxers are still alive and well instead of dying as we deserve. Speaking of which, another acquaintance of mine has just passed away. He was a doctor so he got stellar points for education. Much smarter than I as he trusted the science and had four shots of the life-saving vaccine. He just got sick and died out of the blue. Everyone is baffled, of course.
  20. Fallacious argument. According to the New York Times, "more than 5.55 billion people worldwide have received a dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, equal to about 72.3 percent of the world population". https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/world/covid-vaccinations-tracker.html The vast majority of people were pro-vax, pro-science, willing to do whatever it took and did not listen to other sources than the official ones. The reason why vaccine uptake has plummeted and people who were previously willing are now unwilling is not "misinformation spreading on social media". Hint: empirical observation.
  21. Why is "vaccination confidence" falling? The entire world was pro-vax until 2021, what changed with this one? Perhaps the media should actually investigate the reasons why people don't trust the authorities anymore, instead of "worrying" about "the rise of blah blah blah" (to paraphrase Peter Hotez – who apparently can't figure out why his friends are dropping dead).
