You clearly haven't read the thread.
Sorry to say you'll believe anything you're told.
If you actually read the Fortune article it clearly states that other people dressed in blue or wore blue ties. Did it not? Guessing you don't know as you haven't read it, you've just picked a meme and got all angry about it without doing any research for yourself - this is the usual Trump supporting modus oparendi.
And your picture on the right has been colour corrected to make all the suits appear lighter and more blue than they are. Look at how over saturated Trump's blue outfit is there! It's almost luminous. So the only gullible person here is you. Using a colour manipulated image to try and make everyone else look blue is misleading and stupid. Melania's black is grey in your manipulated image.
Some other people wore blue items, end of story. Why do you - or your source - feel the need to manipulate the image? Are you embarrassed about it? Oh, and why not share the source of your image please. Let us see which site it came from.

But an hour is a long time for such a small thing!
That's your opinion, definitely not mine.
An hour to turn up, have all your documents checked, do three physical tests (colour blindness, depth perception, reaction time), have a photo taken, pay, have the card physically made and handed to you all within an hour is pretty damn good. How long do you think that should all take?
And not so long ago I used to allow an entire day, and I have even had it take two days, so it's a massive massive improvement.
One hour in the office every 5-6 years is hardly a ball ache (and yes, I know you also need to get CoR and health certificate).
QuoteAlso, in the Pattaya area one has to first also go and make a booking and even that can take an hour!
As a result, many here pay 5,000 to an agent to help them either thevehole process, including chauffeur service for the necessary two trips.
That I don't know about. The online booking system has dozens of offices available - if Pattaya is not there I am not sure why. Just looked and that particular office says "temporarily suspended", but Chonburi Sri Racha branch is available as are many others in the vicinity so feel free to book one of those, you can renew in any DLT office. 5k for something that is super easy and only costs 500 baht to do yourself, up to you. -

The empathy shown on this thread for a deeply troubled woman reminds me how many sociopathic creeps there are on ASEAN.
Absolutely correct. It's hateful and they all thumbs up each other's posts. This site is going to the dogs, it really is.

A poor comparison deflection!
The leftist trying desperately to malign
what illegal migration has forced hundreds of thousands of others to endure .
Murder
Human Trafficking
Fentanyl
Children missing by the hundreds of thousands, on & on.
Fraud
Billions upon Billions in cost.
This case was one of the first of many “to be reported “back in 2022.
The leftest here get upset when anyone opposes the sickness & tragedy
of illegal border crossers.
You forgot about the swans and cats - you missed a trick there.

I already explained in detail in another post why the documentary was pulled - it was because it was (unknowingly) based on a massive fraud. Once the fraud came to light it should obviously not be broadcast as nearly everything in it was false. No conspiracy theory.-

The sick left in a attempt to be judicious & humanitarian want to give illegal migrants a better life, another chance !
At the expense of 2 murdered and 6
other innocent American victims .
"Man convicted of crime gets sentenced to lengthy prison term". That could have been the title of your baiting thread because, essentially, that is all your non story is no matter how "anti left" or anti immigrant you want to slant it.
Boring boring boring. Also disappointed at myself for replying as it is just gives your nonsense post a little more exposure that it doesn't warrant.-

That's bloomin' marvellous. How does one sign up for membership to get these digital receipts with a button to tap or click on to have it in a PDF format? However, does this PDF document have the VAT information my accountant needs for tax purposes (seller's VAT number and VAT amount)?
I believe you can get a full tax invoice through the app if you set it up.

And getting in CM in three of them in the last two days!
This thread is nonsense. I have been to several stores over the last few days and got receipts in each of them.
Has any one else apart from the OP been refused a receipt?
It just makes Steven100's conspiracy even more ridiculous.-

i'm just saying that it's no surprise if receipts were stopped or whatever to circumvent any regulations. Just say it saves 1000 baht per day across all their stores, that's 365,000 baht saved per year on paper and ink costs.
The family is rich and they get richer every day, I noticed my coffee pack small has increased from 44 baht to 55 baht now over 6 months, and many other items have gone up 20%. Are they regulated or stupid question in
Lieland sorry, Thailand.
What utter tripe.
Have you seen the tiny little square of paper the receipts get printed on? What a ridiculous assertion. Dhanin Chearavanont is saving 20-30 baht per day per store (1,000 baht???? Get real) on paper, even though they haven't stopped giving receipts.
Been to two 7-Elevens today and I got receipts in both.
And Dhanin Chearavanont is to blame for the price of your coffee??
So tell me, if they are stopping tiny squares of paper to get richer why did they invest in manufacturing of recycled plastic bags only to give them away for free? No one would complain if they didn't give bags as everyone else stopped (and so did they until they could set up manufacturing). Any idea Mr Business Genius? -

2 hours ago, BritManToo said:In 1998 I was indirectly involved in making a documentary for Channel 4 about the dangers of MMR vaccines, our lead interviewee was the current director of Great Ormand street children's hospital in London.
No one's ever heard of this because while I was standing in the doorway to the editing suite, a man from the ministry walked in with a D notice, this documentary will not be broadcast as it is against the public interest.
So if it was in 1998 it would have been based on the claims of Andrew Wakefield, right? He claimed a link between the MMR jab and austism. He said parents should not give their children the MMR jab because of this risk but instead give separate vaccines (that he could recommend).
Problem 1: he had a study group of 12 children. Too tiny to be meaningful in any way shape or form.
Problem 2: it was mostly anecdotal evidence.
Problem 3: It turned out he was being paid by lawyers who were preparing a lawsuit against the MMR vaccine manufactures.
Problem 4: He had personally filed a patent for a rival vaccine.
Problem 5: No other scientist could replicate his findings. At all.
It was a monumental fraud.
Maybe when this came to light it was when your documentary was pulled as it was full of lies, holes, and conflict of interest and could therefore not go out to the public. I am sure the documentary makers had good intentions, just as Private Eye magazine did as they picked it up and I have the utmost respect for that publication. It eventually turned on Wakefield as did the medical establishment once his fraud came to light.
It should also be noted that when his claims came to light people were genuinely concerned - who wouldn't be? As a result public confidence in the MMR vaccine plummeted as did usage, far below the 95% mark generally needed for herd immunity (some reports say as low as 80%). Weirdly enough this led to outbreaks of measles, hospitalisations and deaths from what was previously a very well controlled disease.
Finally, The Lancet fully retracted his paper. The General Medical Council found him guilty of serious professional misconduct and struck him off the medical register. He can no longer practice medicine in the UK.
Yes, I followed this case closely firstly in Private Eye, but it was all a fraud. Your documentary was pulled because it was false and the production company (and broadcaster) would have been sued to oblivion. Good intentions in the investigation, but no way could it be broadcast once the fraud came to light.
I hope that helps explain it for you.-

There's a reason why the Chearavanont family are the richest in Asia.
go figure .... !
Because they started from nothing and have grown in to a huge conglomerate with operations in 20 countries across many different industries. Or is it because they are cutting back on tiny paper receipts?
Can you explain?-

There are shops in the US where, at the end of the transaction, the cashier asks if you want a receipt. If you say 'yes' the thing pops out of the register at the push of a button.
Wow, they ask you if you want a receipt and if you say yes you get one? What happens if you say no - you don't get one?
That sounds like some kind of witchcraft.-

I suppose you believe them too when CCP spokesmen say the Chinese have total respect for human rights, that China does not depend on American technology, know how and capital and that the Uighurs are treated wonderfully?
When they said China was a leader in the response to climate change, did you believe them too?
The Communist party of China is an abject liar.
Of course they want to pretend they're not talkiing to the US, after they got slapped sideways, up and down, by Trump, it's humiliating for them to admit they will still come to the table and ask the big bad man with the long nose for a slice of American cake, pretty please, but come they will. Just you wait. You will look so foolish, like all these fools who claim China won't negotiate with the US, and when the Chinese come to beg for their slice of American pie I will be sure to remind everyone of you and all the other fools who claimed they wouldn't do so.
Ha ha ha, good one! You can come out now and admit you are just a parody account as surely no one can be so arrogant, gullible and deluded. Do you go to bed at night chanting "USA! USA!"?-

Well I am putting my money where my mouth is. I picked up some BA today @ $173 a share. I am sure my fellow forum members will wish my the best of luck on this. After that report and what they said they could sell crap in a bag and they have the orders for a decade.
Well done, investor of the year!!
British Airways?
British Aerospace?
Probably both decent calls, I'm glad you didn't stick your money in Boeing, phew! But as investor of the year you would know better - you are so clever and wise. I only wish I had your investor knowledge and skill and could boast about it on an anonymous forum. -
Well this thread degenerated in to off-topic pathetic childish bickering quite quickly. Grow up.

So the Chinese are lying. What a complete surprise.
Oh dear oh dear, poor Cameroni has really been shown up in the replies. Imagine posting a link to an article that actually says the opposite of what you claim because you haven't bothered to read it.
What an own goal, but don't worry, you are not the first MAGA to link to something you haven't read and I doubt you'll be the last. Headlines are all we need, right?-

Seems you just want to be pedantic.
So how about the biggest argument of all?
If we go cashless you can be turned off at the push of a button. This isn't a loony conspiracy. It already happened in Canada to the truckers. Protest against the government and get turned off. If that doesn't open your eyes then nothing will. But hey, it might save you a couple of seconds at the checkout.
Reminds me of the title of the album "Give me convenience or give me death".
So do you sleep with all of your hard earned cash in a bag under your bed? Or do you keep it in a bank?
If it is kept in a bank then you can be "turned off" just as easily so that argument is nonsense. (And often I wish someone would turn you off, but that's another story).-

I just encountered exactly the same message when opening my BKK Bank App - it would be an annoyance when trying to pay, but one I'd get over very quickly when paying with the debit card from the same Bangkok Bank account instead...
(5 Mins later - the App is working normally BTW)
But, carrying around 20,000 Baht cash all the time is also inconvenient... (or however much we need to cover the cost of digital spending).
I have been to plenty of ATM machines that are 'out of order' - but usually there is another nearby, so that cancels that issue, out - just as the issue of the Bangkok Bank App hanging, there is another option (card) that we can move onto very quickly....
All payment methods area also imperfect at times and have their inconveniences... we all have back-up options don't we ?? (debit, credit cards, PromptPay, more than one account etc).
Funnily enough I just popped into Bartels for a sandwich and my Bangkok Bank app wouldn't work - first time ever - and I only carry small motorbike taxi cash. But my Bangkok Bank debit card worked, no drama. And if it didn't one of my credit cards would have worked. -

Boy, talk about unlucky at check out counters. I've never seen it take 15 minutes per person. It may feel that way, but it's more like 45 seconds.
I was using hyperbole. Of course it takes nothing like 15 minutes, just as it doesn't take someone five minutes to pay for a bar of chocolate electronically, just as people don't have to tell their phone number three times etc.
There's very little difference in time between cash and no cash, just the "cash is king" brigade always use these ridiculous exaggerations to justify their position.-

Trump ostracized at pope’s funeral
in Political Soapbox
Posted
I didn't ask any of those questions, yet you have posted a fake colour manipulated image several times. So it obviously bothered you (or your source - which I am sure you will share soon) enough to fake an image to make everyone else seem less black and more colourful to protect your leader.
So again, why? And did you fake it yourself or you you get it from somewhere? And the image suggests that Fortune faked the left side when the opposite is true (the image on the right is faked), and the Fortune article clearly states it wasn't only Trump that wasn't in all black, even though the guidelines from the Vatican clearly did specify black. So there is no "MSM" conspiracy, Fortune didn't "attack Trump". You would have known that if you read it instead of getting all irate over a fake meme.
