Until the end of the decade everyone will lose his job to AI, no matter what degrees you hold. Better learn to relax on Krabi beaches. -

Thai man condemned for using free cafe WiFi to watch porn - video
Personally, I think we went down a slippery slope when we started to criminalise behaviour that does not cause actual harm. Like I said, it has been this way for a long time, even among males a prolonged stare could be construed as "threatening behaviour" and thus technically common assault. However, this guy in Berkshire, if he spent half a year in prison for looking at this woman, he is sure to come out hating women even more. He had issues to start with most likely, but incarceration for looking, he's bound to feel aggrieved and may come out worse than before. You're right of course that it would be very rare for a woman to invoke this law about staring, I was thinking more about the second scenario you mention, if someone maliciously wanted to bring a prosecution then it would an evidential matter. If she can bring 2 or 4 friends who give witness statements it would be impossible for the man to prove he's innocent and the look never happened or was of "normal" duration. But it is fairly academic, neither of the above cases would happen a lot. With this Thai man, if he had looked at my family I may have started feeling uncomfortable, sure, was it antisocial, sure. But should he spend half a year in prison? I would say no. If no actual harm was done, I find hard to justify depriving anyone of liberty and proceed to a custodial sentence. I know there are good arguments for ciriminal offences where no harm is done, the shouting fire in a crowded cinema argument, but it really is a slippery slope. It's a good thing most women are unware how easy it is to get a man thrown in prison. -

How on earth do you Diet in Thailand ?
I really don't trust Bertolli, olive oil for Americans... but I may be wrong. About coconut oil vs olive oil Dr Berg quotes a study from Ramathibodi. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8148021/ "Replacement of PUFAs with coconut oil significantly increased HDL-c and total cholesterol –by 2.27 (0.93–3.6) mg/dL and 5.88 (0.21–11.55) mg/dL, respectively—but not LDL-c." (PUFA polyunsaturated fatty acids, as in olive oil or canola oil; HDL-cholesterol good, LDL-cholesterol bad) I am not surprised that a study from Thailand doesn't see a problem with coconut oil. I would equally not be surprised if a study from Canada founds lots of advantages of canola oil. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
I don't deny there are influences. However, there is a wide variety of media and countries and also a wide variety of concerns by different businesses, so it's not uniform. There is also the influence of the target market. -

Global YouTuber IShowSpeed Crashes Tuk-Tuk into Temple Wall, During Livestream
I thought that driving a tuk-tuk was something reserved for Thai nationals only. I hope the full force of the law is brought down against this maroon. I also recall that a few months ago someone was charged with violation of the Protection of Historic Sites Act for damaging a temple wall and faced a maximum imprisonment term of 7 years if found guilty and/or a 700,000 baht fine. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2023/03/30/graffiti-lese-majeste/
