They try to capitalize of the concept of something being imported even when it's not imported. Japanese food is a classic example. It’s mostly rice, noodles, and many of the same local ingredients used in Thai food. The cost to make it is often very similar, but once it’s marketed as Japanese food, restaurants can charge several times more than they would for a comparable Thai dish.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 12:28:01 +0000Sun, 07 Jun 2026 12:26:52 +0000BTW, only a pedo would call 10 y/o "fully matured".Sun, 07 Jun 2026 12:25:10 +0000Yes, they made a hugely consequential error.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 12:23:32 +0000No way he is still in Thailand...

The campaign operates in close cooperation with local authorities, schools and police officers, often conducting highly visible public activities. Given this relationship, it is reasonable to ask whether appropriate oversight exists and whether regulations are being applied consistently. Thailand has strict regulations governing volunteer work by foreigners. In many circumstances, activities that appear charitable or voluntary can still require the appropriate permissions and documentation. Yet public images and videos frequently show foreign participants actively involved in roadside operations alongside police officers and local authorities. This raises an obvious question: are all relevant regulations being followed, and if so, who is ensuring compliance? This is not an accusation of wrongdoing. Rather, it is a question of accountability. Any organisation working in the public sphere, particularly one involving foreign volunteers, public authorities and vulnerable groups such as children, should expect scrutiny and transparent governance. E.g. - Thailand Police Clearance Certificate etc. Who evaluates the effectiveness of the programme? Who verifies the claims being made regarding lives saved, helmets distributed, or behavioural change? Who ensures that activities comply with all relevant regulations and safeguarding standards? Who assesses whether the project is producing measurable improvements in road safety outcomes rather than simply generating publicity? These are questions that should be asked of any road safety initiative, regardless of who runs it. The concern is that highly visible charitable activities can sometimes create the appearance of action while diverting attention from more difficult and politically sensitive issues. Consistent law enforcement, road engineering, emergency medical care, crash investigation and data collection are all proven components of successful road safety systems. They are also considerably harder to implement than organising public helmet handouts. There is also the question of consistency. If rules, regulations and standards apply to one organisation or individual, they should apply equally to all. Public confidence depends on transparency and the perception that nobody receives special treatment because a project generates favourable publicity. Ultimately, the issue is not whether Helmet Heroes is well-intentioned. The issue is whether its activities are subject to the same scrutiny, evaluation and accountability that would be expected of any organisation seeking to influence public policy and public behaviour. Good intentions are important. Effective oversight is essential.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 12:08:36 +0000I think you'll find the new budget TVs exceet the old Tvs in every way. My TCL 75" (16kbht) Tv certainly beats the pants off my 55" Samsung (25kbht) Tv.

The operation disrupted a transnational operation linked to the Kinahan crime cartel that used front companies to move sanctioned Iranian oil worth an estimated $230 million (£181 million). The seizure, supported by US intelligence, marks a shift in the criminal gang's activity toward state-level smuggling and highlights an alliance between the cartel and Iran to evade international sanctions. American authorities are now seeking to confiscate the vessel and its cargo of Iranian oil. Social media footage reportedly shows two commando teams abseiling from helicopters onto the 1,000ft Majestic X as it travelled through international waters in the Indian Ocean.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 12:06:23 +0000I remember you saying, as Harrisfan, that it wasn't normal when I said I've been with about 100 women in my life, that most only have 3-5, but now you've banged hundreds in just your 20's to 30's?
