What Actually Makes You an “Old-Hand” in Asia?
I'd say it makes you fortunate, and/or lucky, and/or the envy of many people. May you enjoy many more years of happiness and good health. -

KPlus is now almost useless to me after 4 years without issues they impose this on me
So in short, you don't know the real story, but you are defaming financial institutions on the open forum. I had a quick look at your post history, particularly the 150 topics you have started. Did you know that paranoia and negativity can be treated if you seek professional help? -

Other way around. Pizza Company was born out of Pizza Hut here. -

What Actually Makes You an “Old-Hand” in Asia?
I genuinely believe that most are older age group , age 60+. When I first arrived as a young visitor, there were was still a vibrant expat community of people working for foreign based companies like Ford, Toyota. Deloitte, Siemens etc. Those people were in their mid 30's to 40's. 25-35 years later they are now in their 60's 70's or older if still here. I think the shift away from foreign managers expert came at the end of the 1990's. Companies, scaled back. Even the hotels have reduced the number of foreign employees. Maybe a chef or a manager, or F&B person, but the large numbers of Thais who had gone to the Gulf and returned to Thailand after some time, brought back a wealth of skill and knowledge such that the hospitality sector could source internally. Foreign operated small business go through so many hassles now, that it just isn't worth the effort. The labour issues, the shakedowns, the market swings, all make the operating environment much more difficult than it was 25 years ago. Yes, there were old hands 20+ years ago, but I believe Covid and the natural aging process changed it such that the generation of old timers is mostly gone, and those who are left either are returning to their homelands for healthcare, or are simply dying off. When I lived in patong, I could recognize the foreign residents owned businesses and foreign residents as they were everywhere. Many of the favourite shops/restaurants have sold off or closed. My condo, which used to be filled with so many westerners, has had a visit from the grim reaper. The old timers were replaced by Russian and Chinese absentee unit holders who rent them out to countrymen. -

THC Content has Increased 5X in Cannabis Since 2000
So much misinformation/disinformation….. The correlation is with adolescents NOT adults. It is a contributory factor towards psychosis spectrum disorders, not the only factor. Dr. Fabiano did not do the studies but correlated metadata. The medical science community understands that correlation is NOT causation. There absolutely Is. Do the research without Google, YouTube or social media reposts. ChatGPT is also not accurate unless you tailor your search to peer reviewed science and medical journals. The reported research on this topic however, is not fake. Cannabis in all its forms, recreationally and medically, is NOT genetically engineered. Not even close, though it is coming. It has been heavily hybridized and crossed but it is not GMO. Another widely disproven weed shop myth. The lines between Indica (down) and Sativa (up) have been irreparably blurred through hybridization. For all you disbelievers holding on to this myth, PM me for the Dr. Ethan Russo paper (interview). He is one of the progenitors who settled this. Legalized in 2016. There was a compassionate use act in 1996 that never rolled out (Prop 215) …..A lie travels around the world three times before the truth can put its boots on -

Bombshell: Obama & Crew knew all along, Russia Russia was a hoax.
It sounds about right to me.
