Ministry to Rehabilitate 20,000 Teen E-Cigarette Users in New Plan

Outlaw all nicotine products including cigarettes. Nicotine is as addictive as heroin if not more so. Speaking as an ex-nicotine addict. -

A lot of those buyer are status seekers. "Look at me, I own an EV. I'm special!" Well, ya'll paid for it - your social status! Too bad. I have no freaking sympathy and I don't want any government climbing in to reimburse these people for their poor judgement. Calculators, smartphones, computers, you name it. Cutting edge technology was expense and then as manufacturing caught up with demand, prices plummet. That's economic reality. Really - for those who can't grasp that, that's your problem, not the government's. -

Tough. You buy bleeding edge technology and then the prices go down. It's not the government's business to make buyers "whole" for buying the bleeding edge. Look at calculators. A simple calculator that I can buy for about $1.00 now cost a few hundred dollars when they first hit the market. But I guess I want the government to reimburse me for buying a calculator back in the late 1970s. Right? The prices of EV are coming down as the prices of lithium batteries plummets. That's the technology cycle. If you want to buy the first cutting edge technology regardless of what it is? Your going to pay for it, and then the prices of the technology will come down. Study economics. But low-information consumers whine when the realities of economic hits them squarely in the head. But hey - you got bragging rights that you paid for. "Look at me! I have and EV and you don't! I'm special." So the Hiso wannabe are now whining and crying. Boo Hoo. If you're going to cry about it - don't buy new technology until it is well established and is manufactured in quantity. -
Conspiracy Theory is a pejorative used to dismiss anything but the "one and only one acceptable narrative" and to shut down all further discussion on a topic. Essentially it's a form of censorship where all but one narrative is accepted and then anyone who disagrees is openly maligned as a "conspiracy theorist." If you don't know where the term "conspiracy theory" originated, then you are probably a rather low-information clone who is too cucked to question authority.

Tm47 online submission "rejected"

I haven't been able to submit a 90 day online since last year. Some people can, many people can't. And I've found it impossible to get an explanation from Immigration who simply refuse to help or provide any assistance to resolve the problem. As usual all you get is the equivalent of, "Sucks to be you farang." Get use to doing your 90 day in person or by mail. -
Harris Lies, Americans Die. Illegal Aliens are more Important
connda replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
No I am not. Politics doesn't have a da*m thing to do with the FEMA fiasco happening in North Carolina and Tennessee. You all are pathetic losers. Seriously. Grow a freaking heart. There are some really serious problems in North Carolina according to my own family members. -

connda replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
I'm really tired of you people who think politics is more important than human lives and human suffering. As long as your horse wins, then screw everyone else. If the people you want to win are actually screwing the citizens - you cheer! Ya'll have the empathy of a sack of ox excrement. You should be ashamed. Pathetic. -

Foreign tourist’s gold necklace stolen in Patong alley

If you're stupid enough to wear gold bling-bling in public, then don't moan when you're robbed. "Stupid is as stupid does my mama always said." -
Anutin Blessed for PM Role at Newin's Birthday Ceremony
connda replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I'd rather see anyone in the PM seat other than another Thaksin dynasty proxy. Thaksin daughter and sister where just pretty faced string puppets with Thaksin pulling those strings. "I need to come back to live out my life surround by my grandchildren." 🐂💩 You needed to come back to become actively involved in managing Thailand through political proxies for your own benefit. -

Elon Musk "Just received this note from a SpaceX engineer helping on the ground in North Carolina." "FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help! “Hey Elon, update here on site of Asheville, NC. We have powered up two large operating bases for choppers to deliver goods into hands. We’ve deployed 300+ starlinks and outpour is it has saved many lives. The big issue is FEMA is actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own. It’s very real and scary how much they have taken control to stop people helping. We are blocked now on the shipments of new starlinks coming in until we get an escort from the fire dept. but that may not be enough.” FEMA: Making Swing Voters Into Trump Supporters -
RFK Jr. Faces New Infidelity Allegations From 3 More Women

Honestly - who the **** cares? -
Why can they do it? Because they can. The US government doesn't give them any push-back.

I just checked on Shopee. A box of Cream of Wheat is selling for between 599 to 920 / box. That's $18.50 to $28.30 for a box of hot cereal that costs $4.50 in the US. Amazing Thailand!
-
Cream of Wheat US - $4.50 / box Thailand $17 / box at today's exchange rate It makes no sense at all. I don't know why it is even stocked. Obviously someone pays 550 THB for a box of Cream of Wheat, but it sure the hell ain't me. It's insane. Why doesn't the US reciprocate? If you haven't noticed, the US doesn't give a s**t about its citizens, especially those living aboard. If they can't even take care of North Carolina flood victims they definitely ain't paying attention to the obscene Thai tariffs on US and EU goods.

Good suggestion. I looked on Shopee and Lazada, my only issue is whether or not they are actually Logitech or a fake knockoff. The price range for a Logitech C922 ranges from aroung 750 THB to 3500 THB. So it's like, Ok...which is real and which is overpriced if it is real. I need to check the Logitech website and see what bells and whistles come with different models and check the price in the US and then cross check given the current exchange rate. Or find one that looks good and buy it at Advice or another computer store. Anyone have a Logitech?

Interesting but out of my price range. No doubt an excellent camera.

No such thing as racism in Thailand, right?
