One of the joys of teaching is to see an underachiever or someone with some sort of learning disability develop and improve. Your comment is self-centred whereas teachers are student centred no matter what that students IQ might be.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:23:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>UK Officials Thank Thai Police Over Cannabis Smuggling Blacklist</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396369-uk-officials-thank-thai-police-over-cannabis-smuggling-blacklist/?do=findComment&comment=20543845]]></link><description>At last some good news for the RTP !</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:23:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Former MAGA insiders campaign to break Trump&#x2019;s grip on GOP</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396349-former-maga-insiders-campaign-to-break-trumps-grip-on-gop/?do=findComment&comment=20543844]]></link><description>The US economy is so huge it takes several years for things to filter through it   People really won't notice until 2-3 years from now   Meanwhile AI is pumping up the stock market   Not sure why the whole ecomics of AI is replacement of workers  Less workers less consumer economy activity   It's not hard to see the writing on the wall if you can read  Many of his supporters have never read a book in their lives  I think Republican swing voters actually want a Democrat in charge after 2028 so they can play Blame The Dumocrat to use Trump's new name he thought up by himself</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:22:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thailand Consumers Council Sues Tech Giants & Banks]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396358-thailand-consumers-council-sues-tech-giants-banks/?do=findComment&comment=20543843]]></link><description>To lose &#xE3F;165 million in an investment scam can only be seen as an unbelievable level of greed or stupidity, (or both)!</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:18:39 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Maybe going to Thailand for 30 or 31 days - I'm really confused.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394889-maybe-going-to-thailand-for-30-or-31-days-im-really-confused/?do=findComment&comment=20543842]]></link><description>Thanks for the info.  So I applied on Sunday and I got an email saying it was approved today (Monday), actually less than 24 hours after I applied.  In the email it says I have a "Tourist MT" visa which is valid between today (8th) and September 5th, that is just the time that I need to get into Thailand within, right? That isn't the length of the visa?  The 60 days will start from when I arrive in Thailand?</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:16:41 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Foreigners Challenge Local Traditions on Koh Phangan</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396287-foreigners-challenge-local-traditions-on-koh-phangan/?do=findComment&comment=20543841]]></link><description>I'm sure they don't, I am certain many Thais suffer it in silence too.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:15:48 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Scottish Teacher Found Dead at Home in Phatthalung</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396278-scottish-teacher-found-dead-at-home-in-phatthalung/?do=findComment&comment=20543840]]></link><description>They may have found evidence at the condo that showed he had taken his own life?</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:12:34 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>iran warns of wider war</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396171-iran-warns-of-wider-war/?do=findComment&comment=20543839]]></link><description>we have young folks to do that, proudly, called the US military. you are not part of our 'we', o envious, bitter terrorist lover</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:11:17 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>This forum consumed by politics</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396348-this-forum-consumed-by-politics/?do=findComment&comment=20543838]]></link><description>Just give Riclag his own sub-forum.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:10:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Koh Samui Court Revokes Brit&#x2019;s Bail Over Fatal Crash</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396367-koh-samui-court-revokes-brits-bail-over-fatal-crash/?do=findComment&comment=20543837]]></link><description>Revoking his bail is the correct thing to do.

The balance of taste, freshness and creaminess is the best I've found so far and it's lower cost than many of the others. A 500 gram plastic container costs around &#xE3F;160 on Shopee. You can find it on Lazada too. Just search by that name. Many shops offering it.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:04:57 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>This forum consumed by politics</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396348-this-forum-consumed-by-politics/?do=findComment&comment=20543835]]></link><description>All these Trump haters should be forced to do 1000 hours of community service in Thailand for poisoning the internet with their toxicity.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:04:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>iran warns of wider war</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396171-iran-warns-of-wider-war/?do=findComment&comment=20543834]]></link><description>Count me out if your &#x2018;we&#x2019; nonsense.

I used attestion with a MagicJack and sent in the late form both. I think a MagicJack is about $100 for five years after buying the dongle. Hopefully, SS will be back on top of it this year. It's already Hell getting old without having to deal with a dysfunctional SS.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 22:41:40 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
