  1. For some reason now they're censoring the acronym for the Syndrome, figure that one out.
  2. I got a really good one too, about that long ago, but there's plenty more good ones out there, no doubt about that.
  3. And with all those obstacles combined with onerous luxury taxes, wine import taxes, major corruption, an over inflated baht, and so many other areas that make it difficult to operate here, one wonders how the Thai economy is even doing moderately well at this point. There is something fishy going on.
  4. If I were in your position I would try insect spray, dogs have such an aversion to insect spray if you go out there with two cans of raid and spray down the whole street and the dogs, my guess is they'll never come back
  5. Well I certainly agree with you if it's a pet, but if it's a soi dog who's nothing but a nuisance I have no issues at all with major culling.
  6. Government workers tend to be very loyal to the government, and if you're close enough to them and they're willing to confide in you they might express themselves in hushed whispers or mild descent, but generally speaking they tow the party line. So they're not a reasonably accurate expression of the way the population feels.
  7. Like the stock in truth social these watches are for people who would like to invest $100,000 and lose 96% of it, which is what these watches will be worth 2 years from now.
  8. You put a young woman in charge who has absolutely no experience in politics, and she appoints every single minister based on cronyism without any thought to the whole concept of merit and skill, and what do you end up with? The super wealthy and the elite deserve this fate richly.
  9. Genital herpes is the last STD in the world that I'm concerned about, there are several others that are far more dangerous and difficult to deal with. A lot of people have genital herpes and have had it for decades and it goes into recession entirely.
  10. Trump's brilliant plan for the economy is to tax everything that's coming into the country with tariffs as high as 100%, on Chinese products that are made by American companies. Who pays those tariffs, the American consumers do. And it represents the largest tax height in the past 50 years. The billionaire investor Mark Cuban doesn't think former President Donald Trump's call for 200% tariffs on the agriculture equipment company John Deere is a good idea. "This Lack of Understanding of Business is insane," Mark Cuban wrote in an X post on Monday. Cuban was weighing in on the 200% tariff that Trump said he'd impose on John Deere. Trump issued the threat at an agricultural policy roundtable in Smithton, Pennsylvania, on Monday. "I love the company, but as you know, they've announced a few days ago that they're going to move a lot of their manufacturing business to Mexico. I'm just notifying John Deere right now: If you do that, we're putting a 200% tariff on everything that you want to sell into the United States," Trump said. "Put a 200% tariff on the American company moving some production to Mexico," Cuban wrote on X. "But tariff Chinese manufacturers 10 or 20%, so that the Chinese products will be cheaper to sell in the US than the American company." "Good way to destroy a legendary American company and increase costs to American buyers," he continued.
  11. Put the dog down and do it within the next 24 hours and find the owner a million baht if he is not having a money to pay confiscate his house and sell the proceeds to a dog-related charity. I do not want a lecture about animal cruelty. . Most soi dogs are a nuisance. Most are mangy, some are disease ridden, many are hungry, tired, and lead terrible lives of desperation. Some attack people, some terrorize neighborhoods. Many harass the domestic dogs, and cause them to bark all night long, like in my neighborhood. Nobody wants to do anything about it. Massive culling is the answer. If they found a budget for it, they could do it Western style. Round up the dogs, clean them up, vaccinate them, and put them up for adoption. The ones who are not adopted after 60 days are simply put down. Nothing cruel about it. Not doing something like this, is both cruel to the dogs and to the neighborhoods they infest. The average dog bite cost alot money. A series of rabies shots, etc. And that is assuming someone was not hurt badly, like a small child. So, we should prioritize the health of mangy, miserable soi dogs over the well being of the human population?
  12. Yeah, the 30 baht per day wage hike is going to do the job. Nice work, young woman. You have been so impressive.
  13. Correct. <removed> means Trump deceives his supporters.
  14. Have you ever met or talked to a single person who thinks that she was either a good choice or an effective leader?
  15. Exactly. According to these meme loving devotees, it is OK that their Master engaged in all sorts of discretion, was a good friend of Epstein, and liked to grab them by the pu***. But one innuendo due to her having dated Willie Brown, and she is a wh**e. Such nasty misogyny. Follow the master.
  16. Very smart too jump off a sinking ship with a significant amount of cash. Just think of what that company will be worth once Trump loses the election.
  17. And the blood is on Trump's hands for those countless deaths, by remaining in a state of denial for a ridiculously long period of time. Remember the bleach?
  18. Trump has what I call the Woody Allen syndrome, he's been given absolutely everything that he needs to be happy and fulfilled in life, and yet he finds a way to wake up every single morning miserable, bitter, nasty, with a heart filled with hatred, and he feels the need to dispense that nastiness to everybody that he comes in contact with. That's the very definition of a loser, being given everything that you need in life to be happy and yet choosing to be miserable. Biden is right, Trump is a loser, a miscreant, he possesses a heart totally devoid of goodwill or charity, and he is beyond stingy.
  19. If you're a decent person you will tip a Grab or a Food Panda driver, they make nine baht per delivery from what I'm told, which is barely a living wage. The 20 baht does not mean much to us, but it means an awful lot to them. Not only that but tipping keeps the heart open, which is a nice quality to have. If you're raised with a poverty mentality, nothing is going to change it. Stay away from stingy people. They are trapped in small souls. Anne Fortier Conquer the angry one by not getting angry; conquer the wicked by goodness; conquer the stingy by generosity, and the liar by speaking the truth. Gautama Buddha “I have begun in old age to understand…that we seldom if ever realize how generous we are to ourselves, and just how stingy with others.” ~ Saul Bellow The rich man who is stingy is the worst pauper. — Yiddish Proverbs In finances, be strict with yourself, generous with others. — Maimonides The avaricious man is like the barren sandy ground of the desert which sucks in all the rain and dew with greediness, but yields no fruitful herbs or plants for the benefit of others. — Zeno of Elea We . . . must try to live without causing unnecessary harm, not just to fellow humans but to all beings. We must try not to be stingy, or to exploit others. There will be enough pain in the world as it is. — Gary Snyder
  20. You compliment him and he'll do whatever you want, whether you're an ally or an adversary, you insult him and you're his enemy for life. The man is so overly emotional, his ego is so spectacularly delicate that it makes him very predictable, which is the last quality that you want in a world leader. He's a very weak man and fragile man. And he is getting weaker as he gets older.
  21. I don't know about you guys but I sure don't plan on watching this thing, she is so far off my radar I don't think I've ever watched her show once in my life.
  22. I would imagine that Trump is scared to death of the idea of a second debate, and will do everything in his power to avoid it. Harris goaded him, she baited the fat catfish, and he bit down on that hook so hard he mauled himself in the process. They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. They're stealing your pets!
  23. When I'm carrying a significant amount of money or valuables, I lock them in my luggage. It's very inconspicuous, if someone inspects the luggage they'll see a lock on it and they tend to leave it alone. I've been doing this for well over 20 years in various cities around the world and I've never had anyone tamper with my luggage. I feel much safer doing this then leaving it in the hotel safe which is likely much more vulnerable.
  24. Then I would definitely leave it in the hotel safe, or better yet leave it home. Do without it for a couple weeks, there's no reason to invite temptation.
  25. For all his faults he actually accomplished some things for the nation, including Universal Health Care, which was monumental. I don't see her doing peep, zero, maybe even less than zero.
