Why so many conspiracy theorists and what to do about them
Social media is just chock-full of nut jobs who have hundreds of different theories, about hundreds of different topics. It means absolutely nothing to most of us, and as you get older you have to develop a nonsense filter and just be able to filter out the stuff that is totally ridiculous. Just ignore them, it's like water off a duck's back. -

Travel Thailand Tightens Airport Rules on Liquids and Gels to Boost Safety
How can you see it returning if you do not know what the loads were or are projected to be? There have also been a number of changes since TG stopped flying the route; 1. Historically, TG did not make a consistent profit on the LAX-TG route. There is nothing to suggest that the consumer demand is there to support regularly scheduled flights. It would be madness to bring back flights as the USA teeters on a potential recession. There are multiple reports in a diverse range of media that highlight the concerns of consumers in respect to the economy and their need to watch expenses. The Guardian recently reported that the number of overseas visitors to the US dropped by 11.6% in March compared with the previous year, including a 17.2% decline in people traveling from western Europe, according to US government data . Unless you live in a bubble, you will know that the volume of foreign visitors to the USA has tanked and both US and foreign carriers are reducing capacity. The US carriers dropped their Bangkok routes because there wasn't enough passenger demand. TG isn't any different. 2. Market Growth: The surging markets for Thailand are Japan, Australia and New Zealand. TG will add capacity to new destinations in Japan, and bring back capacity to Australia and New Zealand before it goes to the USA. 3. Fleet constraints; TG does not have the equipment to support a regularly scheduled route to the USA. It can do 2 RTs to Japan with an aircraft that would do 1 RT to the USA. Once the new aircraft starts arriving in 2027, then the USA can be considered. 4. Airfares for Y class are competitive and while TG can charge a premium for offering a direct route, consumers who are price sensitive will still select the lower cost airfares. TG is not competitive on J class, and its soft product is still not competitive with NH, BR, KE, SQ and JL. TG was on the same level as Asiana and China Airlines, but Asiana will be merged with Korean shortly and China Airlines is usually much cheaper than TG. TG will have to first improve its product. It has started and the improvements are noticeable now, but aircraft interiors are still shabby and inflight service still a noticeable notch below other Asian carriers (except the mainland Chinese carriers).. 5. Even though most airlines have connections, the connections on the main carriers are now seamless, and people welcome a chance for a leg stretch and opportunity to visit a restaurant along the way on long hauls. Air Canada now has a direct route to Bangkok, and it is carrying a noticeable load of US pax. Some like the airfares, others don't want the hassles of transiting in LAX. It is easier to transit in YVR than land at LAX and have to change terminals. Clearing US customs and immigration in Canada is much easier and faster than landing in the chaos that is LAX. The 2 hours saved on the TG route is easily consumed by border clearance and transit at LAX. -

Trump ostracized at pope’s funeral
What ???? This would have to be the most bizarre explanation of why it cannot be surmised that Trump was possibly asleep at the time the picture was taken. So far we have: 1. The pictures are fake having been edited by AI or photoshop, etc. (How original for a MAGA). 2. Trump could not possibly be asleep as he is sitting unsupported. (We all know that it is impossible to fall asleep whilst in a sitting position, don't we ?) 3. As the picture is only a snapshot of a point in time, we are possibly fooled into thinking that this image lasted longer than the shutter speed of the camera, (based on the notion that, when somebody talks, their face distorts into bizarre shapes) So forget the nonsense about the face distorting. Look at the pictures below,(from a neutral standpoint), and ask your self, "If I was shown these pictures and asked what do I think the man in these pictures is doing, based on the information contained in the WHOLE picture, I could surmise that he was........" The images do not prove he was sleeping, (that is not my argument), but what could be reasonably deduced from the information contained within ? If you still wish to standby the snapshot, point in time, theory rather than make a deduction based on the total scene, then you would have to agree that those pictures of Biden "sleeping" were erroneous as well, would you not ? I simply do not understand why Trump supporters will go to these extreme lengths to try and twist the narrative. -

Old people with zero English skills while the younger staff just watch and can speak English
Nearly every time I see someone complaining, or observing a shortfall within Thailand, some lame guy, who has not taken the time to think things through, nor to devote any focus or effort to a reasonable reply, says something like "Perhaps Thailand is not for you", or maybe you should leave, or the top prize, "if you do not like it here, go back to your own country". Hard to even respond to such inane statements. Why? Because I have some issues with the place? Sorry to inform you, but the nature of a discerning mind, is to have issues. Though absolute contentment must be a beautiful state of mind, it is not something most of us are blessed with, in case you have not noticed. The fact that I complain, does not mean I do not love Thailand, nor most of it's people. I do. I love my life here. I have a very good life here. But, I do have some complaints, and there are some things I would love to see improved. I should leave because of that? Please. Next time you make a post, try to devote at least two moments of thought to it.- 2
