Shocking survey reveals Thai government’s trust crisis
Why is the headline 'Shocking survey' instead of predictable judgement? -

Walz coaching history called out
Oops! “some on social media couldn’t help but point out that Walz only served as an assistant coach while at Mankato. “Amy Klobuchar introduces Timothy Walz as a coach who ‘turned’ a team ‘into state champions,’” one person said in a post on X. “He was NEVER a head coach. https://nypost.com/2024/08/22/us-news/coach-tim-walz-called-out-after-ex-players-hit-dnc-stage/ “Mankato West’s football team had lost 27 straight games in the three seasons prior to Walz joining the team’s coaching staff as its defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, he told the “Pod Save America” podcast in February”. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2024/08/21/tim-walz-coached-high-school-to-state-championship-what-to-know-as-coach-walz-takes-dnc-stage/ -

Looking to buy a new SUV - any recommendations?
That's why I was suggesting a used Volvo. Top of the range low mileage XC90, 321 bhp for a decent price within the OP's budget. Agree that in the current market new Volvos are overpriced, but they are great cars, great spec, not just an "OK" SUV. . A good second hand one with a warranty is worth considering. My XC 40 has a lovely interior, good responsive 2l turbo engine, Harmon / Kardon 13 speaker sound system and more safety tech than you can shake a stick at. A year or so ago I was driving down Sukhumvit at night, I indicated to move to the right lane and immediately my car made warning noises, swung me back to the middle lane and told me it had avoided a collision. At the same time a motorbike went speeding down my right hand side with no lights on. The tech saved his life. Two days ago I was stopped waiting to turn right. All of a sudden the seatbelts pulled me and the other occupants tight, hazard lights went off, and parking brake was applied - it detected I was about to be rear ended - thankfully the car missed, but only just. My friend spent way more on an Audi Q series. Better looking (especially on his 21 inch rims) but lacking in tech, inferior sound system, no self parking, no active safety to speak of. Anyway, would I buy another Volvo today? No. Are they fantastic and well specced cars? Yes. Just that today you can get better value for money with the Chinese brands. I do love the EX30 but I wouldn't buy one for the money now. -

Do you hold hands with your paid companion?
Sick. No other way to describe it. Holding hands with a B-girl is just sick. (Years ago, I did it. And then, shortly after, I became sick with the drips.) -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-new-recruits-pokrovsk-ed2d06ad529e3b7e47ecd32f79911b83 This is what the cheerleaders are cheering on. No wonder any sane man is hiding from recruiters it's virtual suicide. Poorly trained recruits contribute to loss of Ukrainian territory on eastern front, commanders say. Some new soldiers refuse to fire at the enemy. Others, struggle to assemble weapons or to coordinate basic combat movements. A few have even walked away from their posts, leaving altogether-AP The recently conscripted Ukrainians are a far cry from the battle-hardened fighters who flocked to join the war in the first year of the full-scale invasion. The new troops lack even a minimal level of training, commanders and soldiers from four brigades defending the Pokrovsk area said. They described having to plan operations with infantry who are unable to shoot targets and uninformed about basic topography. Some recruits simply lacked faith in the battle plans of their superiors and walked away from prepared positions. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Well the nukes are the ultimate insurance for Putin of course, if things did go very badly for Russia on the battlefield they have over 5000 nukes they can use on Ukraine, knowing the US could not retaliate in kind. So the winner of this conflict was always going to be Russia. -

Pita vows to reform Thailand’s broken political system
Churchill had to deal with his days in the dark, but came back to save his nation. Mandela was incarcerated, but, came back to transform his nation. Washington led a revolution and is celebrated as one of the USA's greatest. If he is leaving, it is good because he will be safe from a group of despotic totalitarian thugs. However, Pita will one day return to he rightful place in Thailand. -

Bald, Fat, Sweaty, Hairy, Old, and Boring
Would you really like to put that to the test? Just imagine your bank accounts / pension pot got cleaned out due to some sort of internet hacking scam and you were left penniless. You might find their loyalty and support diminishes rather rapidly over time once they realised you were totally broke -

How has Bangkok’s nightlife changed in recent years?
Is that the going rate now? Sounds high. About double in fact. Is that the "I am repugnant" penalty rate? -

The US migrant Crisis video report
Again, if you consider the fact that the undecided voters in the swing states will decide the election it would be silly to believe the polls will decide the election. Clearly, they will not, since this is a very close election, and undecided voters in swing states will decide the election. Not polls, which are merely a snapshot in time which excludes the most important segment, the undecided voters in swing states. As for the Democrat convention it was almost embarrassing to watch it with the barely able to speak Clinton, Oprah talking about cat ladies and the camera panning to a miserable and alone older lady, and then Michelle Obama singing the praises of the non-rich, blissfully unaware Oprah was a fellow speaker, Kamala Harris staying away from Biden. People are making fun of it, especially the giant diaphragm dispensing abortion pills. Very poor taste. I note here on the forum there was little interest in the Democrat convention.
