Crime Russian Tour Guides in Hot Water Amid Phuket Police Sting
Yep. Just some puny work as import-export managers at agro industry, construction, food and some precious stones and jewelry. Not many, right? Our village neighbor's son doing some useless activity with fertilizers from RU, young man get paid about 5K/month + social + bonuses. Tourism is for bored housewives or hobby for retired extraverts. -

Report IKEA Goes Cashless at Key Thai Stores Amid Mixed Reactions
Going completely cashless for a society is actually really stupid. You need to have options and there should be multiple ways to pay for things depending on the thing you want to buy, as some ways are more appropriate than others. On top of that, you are giving away far too much power to the banks and government, plus giving these types every bit of tiny information about your life... a huge invasion of privacy imo. Also, freedom is about choice, and anything that takes away choice from you makes you less free. So many are blindly marching into a China style dystopia with credit scores just because they are too busy staring into their phones, whilst being hoodwinked with the idea "It's for your security and convenience..". Personally, I use cash as much as I can... as it is irritating when some duffus at the cashier takes 10 minutes to figure out how to use their phone to pay for something... and I don't want an electronic trail that I bought 5 beers, some milk, and chocolate on a Friday afternoon. No way! As an aside, what will you do if there's no elecricity or the internet goes down? How will you pay for something? Just wait for the next perfect solar storm or another "Carrington Event"... cash should be kept as a backup way to pay for things if it all goes south, unless of course you have silver and gold sovereigns at home, as that would work too. -

Increases in vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks threaten years of progress
Thats a textbook example of survivorship bias. Its the same as the 'seatbelt argument'...... "I never used a seatbelt and I’m fine" It ignores the countless individuals who didn’t survive because they didn’t wear a seatbelt. You only hear from those who made it through. The same flawed logic applies when people say, "We survived childhood without vaccines and we turned out fine." Those fortunate enough to survive deadly diseases like smallpox, measles, polio, cholera, and tuberculosis were the lucky ones - often with better genetics, access to care, or sheer chance. They went on to have children, and their children had children. The millions who weren’t so lucky? They died. Often young. Often before reproducing. And because of that, their line ended there. Their potential offspring - and their descendants - were never born, never given the chance to look back and say, "See? We didn't need vaccines." So no - the "we survived without vaccines" narrative is not proof of anything except that you’re a statistical exception, living in the echo of a privilege or fortune you likely don't even recognise. It’s anecdotal survivorship, not a valid argument. And, diseases like autism, diabetes, and cancer also existed back then. They just weren’t diagnosed. Medical science didn't have the tools, tests, or terminology to understand them properly. People died of what were often vaguely labelled as "wasting diseases," "nervous conditions," or simply "failure to thrive." Infant mortality was tragically common. Life expectancy was dramatically lower. Many of today’s chronic illnesses were either misdiagnosed or not understood at all. So when people romanticise the past with “things were better before vaccines and modern medicine,” what they’re really saying is, "We survived because others didn’t." -
