I can adapt to whatever the situation... But it seems they can do nothing else. When literally every situation is turned into a p*ssing contest by the paranoid idiots, you realise that they cannot escape their limitations.

Many times I've given them the opportunity to have normal conversations, but they cannot do it. They are always looking for an angle that isn't there.

Look at @Hummin's stupid and paranoid post about me "taking a group of people..." It's just nuts. Using ChatGPT to put together a nonsense post, talking about me avoiding specific questions when that is actually what he does, on a consistent basis. Usually with the line "I don't owe you an explanation" after I've replied to his specific questions and then it's my turn to ask.

These are just low quality people, pretending to be more than they really are, IMHO. Puffed up.

This about you.

You say that but you spent months arguing with him

What he really means, is that he failed again. There is no conversation, just competition. Him and @fredwiggy the same. But when you play them at their game and beat them, they lose it 😊 Wordy claiming that he proved you wrong every time, even though there is no evidence of that to be seen anywhere and the other one, just disappearing from the conversation and getting his humiliations removed when the going gets tough. Both pathetic human beings, stuck in the middle of nowhere, taking their frustrations out here.

Another YouTube video? I can pull up many also, about stupid people and the herd mentality.

The reality is that challenging, debating and questioning is normal and intelligent behaviour.

If you think it's bait, then don't take it. But don't join in the fray and then be a bad loser afterwards.

I have a co-worker who is a complete BSer (OK maybe 90% BSer).

He wanders to my workspace from time to time and sets about wasting my time,

usually complaining.

One day he was telling me about how great his apartment was and for much less than I was paying. A few days later he was telling me how the apartment management had screwed him up with some documentation he needed for immigration. I didn't ask for clarification. I have wanted to tell him that one of the reasons I am happy to pay a little more for rent is that it excludes a whole class of losers (like him) from being my neighbors.

The other day he was. explaining to me about how you can't get Ibuprofen without a prescription in Thailand. This subject required about 10 to 15 minutes of elaboration,

During that time I was reflecting on whether or not to show him the 2 varieties of Ibuprofen that I bought without a Rx that were in the pocket of my backpack because I use daily for arthritis pain.

I decided just to file it as a data point and let him blather on.

Now he is talking about a job offer he has in Uzbekistan, big bucks he says.

Well I hope he goes.

Possible but not probable.

He is a bit of a bubble in a skillet and doesn't sit still much.

True I did reveal identifying info, not much of a loss if he reads it.

Also I was charitable saying he was a 90% BSer.

Is it normal behaviour to channel your replies to someone through a third party? That's weird isn't it? But yet you say nothing about it, effectively encouraging that strange behaviour. Up to you. But it makes you look like birds of a feather. That's not a good thing, believe me.

Can’t agree with anyone on everything all the time and don’t expect to be agreed with by anyone on everything all the time and expecting to be agreed with by anyone on everything and agreeing with anyone on everything is the epitome of a mindless herd mentality of going along just to get along while diminishing individualism, i.e. identity crisis. There are many here that I have major differences with yet do respect them as they are credible with their consistent views and convictions, yet then on the flip side there are those here who I agree with on many issues yet there credibly falters as they take offense of different viewpoints, as in demanding respect by the herd of what may be perceived as erroneous or questionable and turns into a grudge they hold. Personal perspective is, that anyone coming here to be “apart of something” as in a click club member of a clan lacks any self respect and individualism, self inflicted misery of an antisocial predicate. Most folks here are well past the stage in life of having this sorted out by now, though obviously and unfortunately some have not and probably will never get there.

A question I’m asking myself! I pictured retirement with the odd golf day, fishing and maybe taking up pickle ball. Reality is being stuck in a house knowing no one, speaking little English and bored out of my wits. Theirs on,y so much tv I can watch each day. The few westerners I’ve met through my Mrs have been closer to 100 than to my age 64. The ones I might see in MAKRO or Global House look the other way unless they’re Australian who will start up a conversation. The local sports bar appears a little clicky with mainly Englishmen who have regular seats who are good to chat too if I don’t mistakenly take their stool but don’t appear to do too much other than drink. I’m living where I am because it’s where the Mrs is from and the last thing I need is to take her away from her connections. I’m buying a place back in Australia now. I don’t care if the Mrs comes with me or not she can have our house here if she likes or get use to seeing me only 3 months a year or so, maybe a couple months longer if she wants to visit. No point dying of boredom and frustration !

For myself, more simply put; No one should be afraid to communicate the way they perceive life. At the same time, understanding that the way other people may perceive life might not align with their own. That's fine. That's nature. If you curtail that most fundamental principle of freedom, you risk stunting natural growth and intelligence. Talk it out and find middle ground. If your goal is to 'win' every discussion, that is merely fool's gold.

I can argue with you all day and then ask you if you've eaten and eat right alongside you. Those who threaten violence and censure are the limited ones. I learn from people who are different than I. Getting to see their perspective, understanding things that perhaps I won't not have realised on my own. That's a win.

Those who spend their time and energy trying to give the impression that they have won or are never wrong, are limiting their own intelligence and quality of life.

For me, it's absolutely normal to have different points of view. What I won't do is to threaten you or to try to intimidate you from being who you are. I'll just tell you my truth and let you decide for yourself if I'm right or not.

I like individuals who can speak for themselves. This is my opinion cause of A and B. The problem is Fred never admits to being wrong even when science says so. Science evolves every 5 years and people should evolve with it. If you cannot learn from new science then you cannot improve your mind.

Whine about anything to anyone.

I’d love to argue with you but it’s too hot .

I see people driving cars worth 100'000 €uros in Thailand but who are nevertheless still miserable self conscious people who feel they have no value left to themselves...so they always need to try and pull down anybody they meet or know. On the other hand, I have met , what the self conscious one's call "cheap charlies", but who ultimately are wise, smart and who just don't get taken for a ride.
