  1. That is definitely true. Social conformity is prevalent here, and it isn't such a bad thing… in most cases.
  2. Some stereotypes are valid though. I am French. When I hear people say the French never smile and are tight with their money, I go "yeah, sounds about right".
  3. Great. Understanding and acknowledging this is a business enterprise is a necessary step and as I said, I am glad we finally got here. Businesses do marketing. Marketing is the art of leveraging all available means to get the product to the consumer.
  4. Glad it is now established we are dealing with a business. We have come a long way.
  5. I just looked and she has 693,000 followers on Instagram.. According to Business Insider, an Instagram influencer with 1,000 to 10,000 followers can make $900 per post on average. Not sure if it is work, but it sure is a decent income stream.
  6. Tou don't get rhabdomyolysis after doing squats. You can get it after being subject to certain medical experiments though. Fatal thrombotic microangiopathy with rhabdomyolysis as an initial symptom after the first dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine: A case report https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35189339/
  7. I'm not even going to engage. Take the Paris subway for 1 hour and then let's pick up this conversation.
  8. The vast majority of immigrants to Western countries are neither talented nor bright. Anyone claiming this is very far removed from reality.
  9. This reasoning is flawed. In practice, what happens after a couple of decades of declining birth rates is that migrants are presented as the solution to compensate for it, as is happening in Europe. The same leaders who encouraged us to stop making babies are now telling us we need more immigration. And it doesn't result in increased wealth, quite the contrary.
  10. Lots of people are sick these days, there seems to be a major outbreak of failing immune systems.
  11. The guy in the video is Piers Corbyn. Just reading the first sentence of his Wikipedia profile made me have an instant liking for him: "Piers Richard Corbyn (born 10 March 1947) is a British weather forecaster, businessman, climate change denier, anti-vaccine activist, and conspiracy theorist." He is right, they can't prevent us from paying with legal tender (yet).
  12. Why not indeed? The answer to that question is key.
  13. Pricey but nice.
  14. Not only do the authorities not care about location-independent workers working from home, they are pretty shrewd when it comes to these things and understand that such a person sending 100,000k THB per month to a Thai bank acount is injecting over 1 million per year into the Thai economy. What they do care about is that jobs aren't taken from Thais and that Thailand's image isn't tarnished. Speaking of which, they seem pretty happy when Thailand ranks high in "Best places for digital nomads" rankings.
  15. People sure are getting ultraviolent in Thailand. The new normal I guess.
  16. Haven't seen a public one in Hua Hin. I am wary of doorway ones, especially with the random quality of Thai building. A pull-up tower is the best option IMO: https://www.lazada.co.th//products/i127133775-s133866810.html?spm=a2o4m.cart.0.0.6fde6108NYAPMs&urlFlag=true
  17. 99% of scientists agree they don't want to be defunded.
