Why does mask wearing get some folks panties in such a wad, what does it matter to you? West and East have different cultural outlooks, the West, especially the USA, give priority to the rights of the individual, in the East the rights of the individual are less important than the good of the family and the local community. Singapore for example would not function if everyone was allowed to do exactly what they wanted in the American way, it would be a total hellscape. Mask wearing was readily adopted in Asia because people were willing to give up personal freedom for the benefit of the community. It's nothing to do with cowardice, that's purely your perception as, I'm guessing, an American. (Whether you accept masks were a benefit is a separate discussion.)

Tommy Robinson to be released from prison early
Stocky replied to hotandsticky's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
No, the bomber Salman Abedi died when he blew himself up, it's his brother Hashem Abedi, who's serving life imprisonment with a minimum term of 55 years, that attacked 3 prison officers at HMP Frankland. -

Maga-style parties given bloody nose in European elections
Stocky replied to candide's topic in Political Soapbox
The average MAGA couldn't spell it or find it on a map -
Yes, but e-books rather than the tradition printed sort, a Kindle replaced buying physical books about 15 years ago, living in Hat Yai the choice of English language books is limited, e-books rekindled my love of reading.

Starmer’s Brexit Reset: A Strategic Shift or a Sacrifice?
Stocky replied to Social Media's topic in World News
FFS! Fishing contributes 0.12% of the UK's GDP, the agreement is only an extension of the one previously agreed to by Boris Johnson. In contrast the benefit of removing the checks and reducing the paperwork on food exports to the EU is of significantly greater value, particularly to UK farmers. -

Take the cake, looks like she's eaten the whole bakery! And the baker. -
You're reading far too much into trendy adverts that are over-trying in the 'inclusivity' department.

I would argue that Hitler's ill-judged decision to tear up the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and invade Russia on 22nd June 1941, nearly six months prior to the 7th December Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour and the USA declaring war on Germany on 11th December 1941, was when the outcome of WW2 was decided. The US's entry into the war undoubtedly shortened it's length, but Hitler's decision to start an Eastern Front was the point he lost the war.

Report Israeli Tourist Busted for Selling Magic Mushrooms on Koh Samui
Stocky replied to snoop1130's topic in Koh Samui News
At least I'm not the only person that recognises Israeli doesn't necessarily mean Jewish. The figure is actually about 75% of Israelis are Jewish, the other 25% are Muslims, Christians and none of the above. So it's worth remembering that criticism of the state of Israel or Israelis isn't antisemitism by default. -
Because it's a forum, and I can't fathom why someone would want to eat baked beans!

No Sambal Goreng is correct, as is Nasi Goreng but they're not the same thing. Sambal Goreng is usually made with tofu, green beans and chillies all fried in a sambal chilli sauce.
