Leaving Thailand to a country where he can receive advanced palliative care.

The science behind flu shots: A roll of the dice. A pull of the slots handle. A spin of a roulette ball. Around and around and around it goes, and where it stops, nobody knows. Best of luck.

But but but - Orange Man Bad!!! Caveat: I don't like any of them. I already have my vote lined up!

Politicians are serial liars and Boris Johnson is a consummate politician.

Bar girls and alcohol. Why else? Who am I to break the commonly accepted narrative, 'eh?

Just mail my booze to me. Thanks!

A lot of Thais will be going to work drunk.

Does anyone know where to purchase THC gummies in Chiang Mai (or online)? I just have no interest in smoking any longer. I quit smoking cigarettes in my 20s and significantly curtailed my pot intake around the same time due to restrictions with my employers. Gummies would be nice if I could find them.

98% of the expats there won't give a flip.

Is your Caps-Lock stuck?

Fact-checker - The authoritarian-backed narratives endorsed by one side of the political line.

There are plenty of stories of home invasion targeting rich farang with Thai wives. With self-defense weapons? You either understand or you don't. Nothing I say will change your mind. Nothing you say will change mine.

I agree with that. I added an SSD to a slug-slow laptop and it made a world of difference. And as Crossy inferred, it depends what software you plan to run on it. If its a gaming system? You are wayyyyyy under-powered. If for doing homework. It will be just fine.

It sucks to live in an American inner-city, specially in a Blue State. Yeah, they are war zones. And Soros funded liberal prosecutors keep it that way - Chaos.

You, like most of the anti-firearm brigade, have never registered a legal hand-gun in Thailand. It is a long, cumbersome, exercise in bureaucratic paper-shuffling. As well, hand-guns cost 5 times what they cost in the US. The average Thai doesn't have an extra 90K to 120K of disposable income to buy a legally purchased firearm. Thailand's gun laws are strict, and if you get caught with an unregistered firearm it's hefty fines and possible prison time. Now - the availability of black market firearms? That's a different animal as I'm well aware that they are available and affordable. But saying the gun laws are pathetic. You have no idea what you're talking about. Get caught with a black market firearm and you are in a world of hurt. Get caught wielding your registered firearm in public and you are in a world of hurt.

It's not limited to Filipinas ❤️. My Thai wife suffers from the same multi-linked extended families. 😉

I wonder if their psychiatrists are trans? Well, whatever floats your boat. The kid didn't have a chance.

Expat AN members who believe their own 💩 smells like 🌹, and then everyone but their own nationality are 🐃 💩. This is an exercise in ethnocentrism and borderline ethnic hatred. Tread carefully.

Transgender = testosterone = strong, aggressive lady-man.

For your kid? That's fine. I'd suggest wiping the hard-drive and reinstalling WIndows. It's probably not a licensed copy anyway. You never know what comes with a pre-installed version, especially here in Thailand.

There is an incorrect assumption that rice farmers burn their fields. Here in my corner of Northern Thailand, nobody burns their fields. Ox gaze the fields and corn and rice stubble is cut and sold. Everything else is plowed under come Rainy Season. However, sugar cane is a different story. So is the Big Ag supported corn growers who plant the denuded mountains in Mae Hong Song. They do burn and it's freaking terrible as far as AQI.

As we have found out since 2020, conspiracy theory leads conspiracy fact by a few months to a few years. The term "conspiracy theory" is a pejorative aimed to shut-down any discussion regarding a subject except for the Authoritarian so-called authoritative narrative.

You gotta arrest and prosecute the arsonists, which are generally villagers who set fires to clear the undergrowth so they can collect mushrooms. It's like Thai "Omertà." Everyone knows who is setting the fires but clam up because they benefit in the Rainy Season when the mushrooms grow. Mushroom collection is big business in rural Northern Thailand. The reality is that they don't have enough low-paid forest service employees to stop the arson, and those same people are part of the villages themselves. There would be massive social push-back on villagers working in the forest service who are doing their jobs attempting to stop the arson.
