By "can", I mean:

Is it allowed?
If not, how does the police check? Are there many checkpoints? I've only read https://www.thephuketnews.com/almost-400-denied-phuket-land-entry-under-new-rules-80769.php so far.

I would think you need fresh air, vitamin D from sunshine and relaxation from exercising outdoor, somewhere in your near neighbourhood

US puts 10 million bounty on Iran leaders

3NUMBAS · 10 hours ago10 hr

WASHINGTON, DC: The US State Department’s Rewards for Justice program announced a massive bounty on Friday, March 13, offering up to $10 million for information leading to the identification or location of Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and other top regime figures. The reward specifically targeted ten "key leaders" of the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a group the US maintains plans and instils fear globally. https://news.meaww.com/us-puts-10-m-bounty-on-iranian-leaders-after-

Iran regime in its death throes but collapse could trigger bloodshed

bannork · 8 hours ago8 hr

Guli Francis-Dehqani An Anglican bishop who fled Iran after the 1979 revolution has warned the country’s ruling regime may be nearing its end — but cautioned that the final phase could be violent and unpredictable. Guli Francis-Dehqani, the Church of England Bishop of Chelmsford, said the government in Tehran appears increasingly desperate to cling to power. Speaking from the UK, she said she currently cannot reach friends or contacts inside Iran as communications collapse amid escalating turmo

Iran is winning and will likely win the war against the USA

Jingthing · Wednesday at 10:31 PM2 days

It certainly doesn't please me to realize this dark reality. This is a war that Trump (snookered by Israel) should have never started in the first place. However, this war more than anything else clearly signals to me that the American empire is declining rapidly. Maybe call it a suicide. This topic is being started to discuss and track the events related to Iran winning this war against the USA. I call it a war against the USA rather than a war against the USA and Israel because it would be

Congress Randy Fine considers himself to be an Islamophobe and thinks it is "rational" be be afraid of the followers of Islam. Do you consider this "hate speech" and should it be banned in the United States? Support your opinion in the comments. Also inform us if you are or are not a US citizens. https://x.com/RepFine/status/2032230398009200896

he's even appointed a government minister specially for them , who, on his first day in his imaginary job , has come prepared with a 50 page document, containing all sorts of sweeteners for them I think is now an offence to simply look at them. But its all too late for Starmer , the greens are now the chosen party of the Jihadists, they will vote for whoever the mosque guy tells them to vote for and of course their wives will do as they are told by their husbands, as will there children Going by the rate they breed the UK is only maybe 2 generations away from a total takeover Ali Akbah

Not just Arab Parents with Kids, but a lot of parents don't seem to be able to keep their kids quietly occupied - all nationalities - but the Arabs do kind of take it to a new level sometimes. People always moan about kids on planes. But really - in all the flights I’ve taken, it’s rarely the kid that’s the problem. It’s the parents. A well travelled kid with parents who actually parent is usually fine. When my son was little I had a system. I told him the pilot could see the cabin through cameras in the ceiling. Every now and then I’d have a very serious fake phone call with the cockpit. ... “Hi captain… yes… he’s behaving very well… yes I’ll let him know you’re happy.” Worked a treat. Anyway - actual pet hates. The seat recliner slammers. The plane reaches cruise and BANG the seat comes flying back like it’s been shot by a sniper. Yes yes, it’s their right to recline. But maybe just a quick glance behind first? Just to check you’re not about to crush my laptop or break my kneecaps. Then the people who leap up the moment the plane stops at the gate. Doors still closed. Jet bridge not attached. Nobody going anywhere. But half the plane suddenly stands like they’ve <deleted> themselves. Once I actually had an Indonesian lady basically land on my lap because she was trying to climb over me to get to the aisle. We ended up chatting for a bit which was nice… but that’s really not the point. Baggage carousel huggers are another strange tribe. Instead of standing back they crowd the belt like its the last flight out of Dubai before air-space closes again - its as if they think their suitcase is going to escape. Also the geniuses who put their carry-on anywhere except above their own seat. Six rows behind. Opposite side. Then when the plane lands they fight upstream through the aisle. Bus gates deserve special mention. Absolute misery. Hot bus. Sweaty people. Doors open while everyone waits for the last 4 passengers who were buying Toblerone. Meanwhile the aircraft door is open to the heat and humidity and the cabin slowly turns into a greenhouse. Then you’ve got the crop dusters. Those disgusting pigs who walk slowly down the aisle farting like they’re marking territory. And the snorers. I once had a bloke snoring so loudly he kept me awake. Finally - economy seats. Who designs these things? After about six hours my backside feels like its been sitting on a concrete paving slab. I have to start shifting around like a skeeting dog.

123Stodg · 2 hours ago2 hr

I am not going to address anyone directly because I do not want anyone to feel like a jilted lily, but I have noticed something interesting about my own forum reading habits. For one, I read far more than I post. Often I do not even log in to scan through a few topics, and if someone averages about a dozen posts a day, I tend to skip right over anything they write. It did not start that way. At first I just noticed certain posters who write extremely long posts waffling on about their personal

unblocktheplanet · 8 hours ago8 hr

Don’t make fun of anybody’s religion… they might be right! The Nation of Islam worldview was dominated by an apocalyptic and prophetic vision which held that the African American, the "original" or "Asiatic" black man, fell into a state of social domination that began with slavery.'1 This situation was a direct result of the machinations of an evil black scientist, Yakub, who grafted white people, also known as "devils," from original black people a little more than 6,000 years ago.

McDonald’s Beef Patties in Thailand, Any Good?

Kyoto Kyle · 19 hours ago19 hr

I’m wondering if McDonald’s beef patties in Thailand are actually any good in terms of meat quality. I can’t remember the last time I had one here. Maybe once or twice many years ago. The reason I’m asking is because I just realized there’s a 24 hour McDonald’s within walking distance of where I’m staying now. If the patties actually taste decent, I was thinking that late one night I might buy two double cheeseburgers, or maybe two Quarter Pounders with cheese, take them home, stack all four pa
