Not sure I could even use one to be honest. Can you do these face scans wearing glasses? I can't see jack s*** without my specs. No chance of me being able to read the turn head right, turn head left, smile etc instructions.  I know some of the crypto exchanges are now requiring verification updates done using face scan apps. My last update was a nightmare. GF had to stand right next to me and give me the turn head right. turn head left prompts, as the app wouldn't allow me to wear my glasses. If I lived alone I'd have been totally screwed.  All for our protection of course.  I'm going to continue with only cash for as long as I can. Until the ATMs start disappearing, then I suppose I'll need to get cash at the teller directly, until cash disappears too that is. With a bit of luck I'll have either already popped off by then, or the fiat system will have imploded and we will all be screwed anyway 5555.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 10:38:11 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>EMOJI through the lens of a Skinnerian Paradigm: What&#x2026;???</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396329-emoji-through-the-lens-of-a-skinnerian-paradigm-what/?do=findComment&comment=20543315]]></link><description>Please just treat your dog the same way you would treat any other member on TV.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 10:38:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Communism is dead.

Communism: A political and economic ideology advocating for the elimination of private property and a classless society where the state owns the means of production. CBDCs + AI: This is a technological infrastructure. A CBDC is a digital form of fiat currency issued by a government, while AI is used to process data, automate tasks, or make predictions no doubt this will come but in western countrys there will  privacy safeguards to protect against government overreach.  i think China is already doing this !! with the Digital Yuan</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 10:37:42 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Apply for your TDAC early - Here</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1361664-apply-for-your-tdac-early-here/?do=findComment&comment=20543313]]></link><description>They will wonder how come everyone else was able to fill the form out and just you wasn't able to .

No apologies were needed.  I read just a couple of responses and the advice was good.  IMHO I am only responding to assure you that you came to a great place for your query.  The forum is meant to be a helpful place for foreigners (long term and short term) and also for Thais.  There are a number of actual experts to be found on here.  You just have to weed through some of the wise crackers to get to those folks.  For instance, if you have a medical issue, Sheryl will be giving great advice, but others may have had or have the same exact issue as you.  If you need electrical advice, you need to look for Crossy, but there are others here to help.  There are also some good computer folks on here, too.  Many of my friends don't like using this forum (refuse to read anything) because there are many negative commenters, especially on news articles.  Anyway, enough said.  Have a great life here and where ever.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 10:34:34 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>God Bless the Second Amendment!</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395983-god-bless-the-second-amendment/?do=findComment&comment=20543308]]></link><description>Nice word salad of fallacies served with a dash of no reasoning, and bad faith.  Facts alone aren&#x2019;t enough &#x2014; logic is what determines whether they actually support a conclusion. If your argument contradicts itself or avoids the question, it fails, regardless of how many &#x201C;facts&#x201D; you throw in.  Here&#x2019;s what&#x2019;s going on: Red herring: The question is why U.S. firearm death rates are higher than comparable countries. Shifting to media coverage, drugs, or general crime avoids that question. False equivalence: &#x201C;Alcohol kills more people than guns&#x201D; doesn&#x2019;t support gun policy&#x2014;it just points to a different harm. By that logic, nothing gets addressed unless it&#x2019;s the single biggest problem. Non sequitur: Bringing up the Constitution or comparing gun rights to free speech doesn&#x2019;t explain differences in outcomes. That&#x2019;s a separate debate. Straw man: Claiming people want to &#x201C;take all guns&#x201D; misrepresents most proposals, which are about regulation, not confiscation. Hasty generalization: &#x201C;Criminals will always get guns&#x201D; doesn&#x2019;t mean policy has zero effect. Outcomes vary across countries with different laws and enforcement. Appeal to enforcement limits: &#x201C;We can&#x2019;t enforce perfectly&#x201D; isn&#x2019;t proof laws don&#x2019;t work. No law works perfectly&#x2014;many still reduce harm. Cherry picking: Anecdotes about defensive gun use or selective media examples don&#x2019;t outweigh population-level data. Topic substitution: Reframing this as a rights issue avoids the original causal question entirely. Bottom line: pointing at alcohol, media bias, or constitutional rights doesn&#x2019;t explain why U.S. firearm mortality is so high relative to its peers. It just deflects from it.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 10:34:32 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>EMOJI through the lens of a Skinnerian Paradigm: What&#x2026;???</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396329-emoji-through-the-lens-of-a-skinnerian-paradigm-what/?do=findComment&comment=20543307]]></link><description>I&#x2019;m telling you, I&#x2019;ve tried everything from magic carpets to rug pulls and my dog simply won&#x2019;t poop on the carpet.
