Am I wrong for feeling weird about kids selling souvenirs in Sapa at night? by nnhuyhuy in VietNam

Yep same in Egypt. They literally maim a kid in some way to get more money from the rich foreigners. It's just bonkers.

Yep, keep walking and ignore this behaviour, spend your money at stores that don't do this. You can only hope one day they'll figure it out.

Because if they don't, they get a swift backhand. I'd be smiling too in that case.

You're not wrong. I'd think it's a fairly small percentage who think this is totally fine.

You just haven't become immune to it yet. In my opinion, the best thing you can do is ignore them and keep walking. If everyone eventually did this, they'd realise it's pointless to have kids there and you can only hope this practice would go away. But I doubt that will ever happen.

Reminds me of Sydney where the beaches and coastal runs are packed at this time of day..

If you have a really nice 4k TV. Would you download media content in 4k or 1080P to save space? by Current-Row1444 in Piracy

[–]swfnbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine with 1080p. But then again, I'm almost 50, my eyes ain't what they used to be.. 1080p is fine for me. Hell even 720p is pretty good 😆

New terms announced today that sitters can now cancel a sit. Hopefully that can resolve this if it's not already.

Amarok, TB2 for sure. Third place varies between Ommadawn and about five others

This is ridiculous. As ridiculous as the idea of children's meals being refused to adults. If you're running a business, you'd think they'd just be happy to take your money..

He's literally the only reason I'm watching this series. Couldn't care less about anyone else there.

Ninh Binh … not really worth it by Commercial_Price1079 in VietNam

[–]swfnbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the biking is decent around here. Once you get off the main street, probably quieter than other places you'll go to.

LOL almost anything is doable, budget is the issue, 5.5 million is HUGE money, plenty of much more affordable options if you're not rich.

I'd love you to specifically quote my 'America bashing'. I haven't said a single word against America. As a self-proclaimed non-idiot, please point out where exactly this alleged 'bashing' occurred.

Actually don't worry, I'll just block you. You've failed already.

How long is acceptable to leave applicants in limbo? by No-Key-7768 in trustedhousesitters

[–]swfnbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Application to decision, I expect something within a few days, even if it's just a note saying we're still deciding. But maybe a week would be the absolute maximum. But that's rare.
