I just arrived three days ago. You are my first customer. I am a university graduate. I studied hospitality. My family owns alot of land. They just don't want to sell it. I don't go with customer. Only drink with customer. (sometimes this is true, sometimes it means she does not find you appealing).

No. Easy to meet up in the area just beyond customs. And we have never been asked about separate funds.

Your honor, I like nasty looking hussies. Can't help myself. And I usually pay for it, even though I am wealthy. Most women just find me too strange looking, to do it for free.

Their claims are rooted in a historical context, and have nothing to do with reality, current politics, or real borders. It is pure Chinese hubris, combined with the intoxication that comes from newfound power and influence.

One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much BS. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize BS and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern, or attracted much sustained inquiry. However studiously and conscientiously the BS artist proceeds, it remains true that he is also trying to get away with something. There is surely in his work, as in the work of the slovenly craftsman, some kind of laxity which resists or eludes the demands of a disinterested and austere discipline. The pertinent mode of laxity cannot be equated, evidently, with simple carelessness or inattention to detail. It does seem that lying involves a kind of bluff. It is closer to bluffing, surely than to telling a lie. But what is implied concerning its nature by the fact that it is more like the former than it is like the latter? Just what is the relevant difference here between a bluff and a lie? Lying and bluffing are both modes of misrepresentation or deception. Now the concept most central to the distinctive nature of a lie is that of falsity: the liar is essentially someone who deliberately promulgates a falsehood. Bluffing too is typically devoted to conveying something false. Unlike plain lying, however, it is more especially a matter not of falsity but of fakery. This is what accounts for its nearness to BS. For the essence of BS is not that it is false but that it isphony. In order to appreciate this distinction, one must recognize that a fake or a phony need not be in any respect (apart from authenticity itself) inferior to the real thing. What is not genuine need not also be defective in some other way. It may be, after all, an exact copy. What is wrong with a counterfeit is not what it is like, but how it was made. It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing BS requires no such conviction. A person who lies is thereby responding to the truth, and he is to that extent respectful of it. When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements to be false. For the BS artist, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.

Tattoos are a fashion trend now. That won't always be the case. And they tend to look worse over time. Millions are trying to have their tattoos removed. Not an easy thing. I happen to find tattoos on women sexy. But, I am glad I can simply observe them, and don't have to own them. There is a bit of a *paint by numbers" wannabe hipness factor to tattoos. Same as torn jeans, and beards, but those jeans and the ridiculous beards are easy to remove.

China is facing major financial issues, that could eventually collapse the entire CCP. The extent of the issues within the banking sector, and the amount of private debt is staggering. Ever since the deleveraging campaign started, investors have been disappointed in consistently expecting Beijing to bail them out. Even today, with the property sector’s woes mounting, investors are openly discussing what level of defaults or economic and financial stress will require Beijing to finally step in. But as losses are now plausible for investors in trust products, wealth management products, structured deposits, state-owned enterprises’ corporate bonds, banks themselves, and individual mortgages, there are not many asset classes remaining that carry unassailable promises of government support. https://www.csis.org/analysis/chinas-slow-motion-financial-crisis-unfolding-expected The current real estate crisis is the most severe the regime has met for a long time, but the recent new injection of liquidity may buy time and stabilize the market for a while. Even though, another round of instability is bound to occur. Many sectors could be the epicenter of the next tremor: it could be real estate again if it turns out that the faith of the public in ever-rising prices for property has been destroyed for good; or the financial sector, where there are many poorly managed small local banks and where some non-bank financial institutions are not as strongly regulated as banks; or the individual borrowers' segment (household debt has been rising too fast), or parts of the corporate segment (SOE debt is still growing); or perhaps, and most likely, the local governments, which suffer from a dramatic loss of revenues. https://www.institutmontaigne.org/en/analysis/chinas-next-financial-crisis-matter-when-not-if

It does appear as if China eventually wants war with not only the US, but most of the Pacific region. They appear to want to regain the dominance and glory they experience in the long distant past. Their belligerence and arrogance knows no end. Xi is a vicious, megolamaniacal madman. The real problem for them, is the lack of a long range navy, and deep sea ports. Few nations (for now, anyway) seem to want to offer them the ability to re-supply or refuel, anywhere. I don't thing they are considered a reliable ally. The lack of visible, publicly available evidence of Chinese basing progress in Africa has fueled skepticism, with some commentators suggesting that concern about such basing efforts is overblown. This is understandable, but it overlooks the secretive nature and substantial timelines associated with these diplomatic and military negotiations. One just has to look closely enough and understand that China has a patient, long-term approach to achieving its global military ambitions. https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/08/16/china-military-bases-africa-navy-pla-geopolitics-strategy/

Who is this joker trying to fool? Is anyone going to buying into his nonsense? He has had 8 very long years to demonstrate his concern for the environment, and it has been a resounding "I don't care, leave me alone, I am too busy to fuss with little things like the air", the whole time. They have done absolutely nothing. Is that going to change now? The air emergency is simply an inconvenience during an election year. Are they going to go after the cane farmers? The badly maintained diesel vehicles? No. They won't. More lip service from the do nothing men.

That is exactly what I meant. It is a big nothing burger staged by the big joke actor, strictly for PR purposes.

That would make Thailand the top destination in the world. I don't think so. Dream on, small minded guys.

Bring it on, please. The stench of this air is only matched by the stench of the "do nothing men", who allow it to continue, without putting up so much as a whimper. Where is the pride?

Whether it is a mountain or a molehill, does it matter? When have they ever gone up against high ranking police, immigration, customs or border patrol officials? And gotten an actual conviction, and prison time? It rarely happens. How many thing the big joke is sincere, and how many think this is just bluster and PR? I fall into the latter camp.

Well, we all seem to have a very different definition of what girlfriend is, or is not. I hear some men or women talk about being in love with someone after knowing them two weeks. All that is, is anxiety, impatience, and the intense desire to be in love. Some are more in love with the idea of being in love, than with the person they are with. I think for most of us who are emotionally healthy, the idea of taking one's time to really get to know someone, is alot more informative and desirable, than just losing oneself in the moment. I have seen countless men lose their fortunes, or at least their financial stability here, by moving too fast, assuming she is someone she definitely is not, and projecting too much onto someone they have not bothered to really get to know, and allowing the woman to push the agenda. Always push back against a timeline. Always. It is far better to lose the woman, than to unnecessarily lose your money and feel like a fool. Alot of guys fall in love with the idea of being in love. And they devote their heart to a woman who is undeserving. So, the best course of action, if to take you time to get to know her. Time allows clarity. If it is good it will only get better. If there are problems (such as the ones you are describing), they will manifest themselves over time. This is why you do not allow yourself to get emotionally invested, until you know who she is. That takes a year, or two, or longer. If she shows you she is not worthy of your affection, and attention, you walk away. Man up. Pay tribute to your gender. Show yourself some self respect. Do not allow yourself to be abused, and treated like a street dog.

1. How many people commit suicide by slitting their own throats? Very few, I would imagine. 2. Due to the circumstances of this death, it might be harder than usual for the toy cops to label this a suicide. 3. If the cops are serious about this, murder will have to be considered. Suicide by incising one's own throat without hesitation marks remains a rare, and only few cases have been reported in the forensic literature. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/26839171_Atypical_Suicidal_cut_throat_injury_-_A_case_report

Kind of fun to watch the two "do nothing men" pretending as if there is not a rift between them. Both are power hungry creeps. Both want to be number one. Both cannot give up power, and both have pathological levels of greed. And the public would love nothing more than to have both of these goons disappear into oblivion.

Likely far more than that amount of people that are suffering right now. And the authorities do not seem to care, one iota. If they did, something would be done. Instead, only hollow promises. We will enforce the ban on burning. And it never gets enforced. No penalties, no nothing. We will do something about poorly maintained diesel vehicles. And nothing is ever done, because the cops are too lazy, and the highway patrol refuses to patrol the highway, and the special hotlines you set up, do not know anything about the program, or the laws. We care about the environment. Yeah right. Another bald faced lie. You care not, you see the air, you talk about the air, and you do nothing about the air. More empty words from the "do nothing men".

An incredibly sad indictment of the behavior of the locals. Sacrifice all well being for some mushrooms.

But, being a realist is no fun at all.

Thailand is becoming the world center of warnings. Don't do this. Don't do that. My guess is the Chinese are used to being warned. But, other tourists not so much. Stop the nonsense.

I do blame them. And I blame the administration for not providing alternatives. And I blame the sugar processors for buying burned cane. There is alot of blame to go around here. The air apocalypse we are witnessing is not being created in a vacuum, and the wildfires (blame game) are likely only a small part of the current issue.

1. Where can these tourist be found? 2. Don't the authorities have any real issues to focus on? 3. Where is the harm? Really. Who is this hurting? Seems kind of fun to me. Who doesn't like an adult woman who is wearing a school uniform?

What can one say? Pay attention when backing up in a parking garage? Isn't that basic driving 101? Darwin is proven right once again. The real question is, why doesn't this happen to the guys who really deserve it? We all know who they are.

Very, very little arson. The sugar growers are the true arsonists and culprits. Stop them. At any cost to the economy. If they shut down the economy due to covid, why not shut down the deliberate burning due to an air apocalypse emergency?

Give them an alternative. Yes sugar creates money, but at what cost to society? We are simply asking for a small degree of progress. Stop killing the people with the horrendous air. Stop the killing.
