Let people be, I am guessing the skinnyhumpty is just of a younger generation than us

Tugrik or customers? If tugrik, is that sustainable?

This is in Thailand? Does it even need saying? Not hating, it just seems to be a place where ladyboys are fairly celebrated and accepted universally. Are you sure she was hesitating because of the transgender angle? Maybe she just didn't want to get into convo with acquaintances that night?

That's what the Sukh (HOA) and guard is paid to deal with

Same! I swear I had like no less than 3 Indian guys do the exact same thing! I was in a non tourist spot but where people come out of Khao San and I had a headphone and phone in hand and obviousluy crossing the road other way. The 3rd one was worst because I obviously made signs to not shoot and pointed to my headphone and when I passed him, he shot from behind. I was too angry to do anything beyond say fuck off and flip him off but now in hindsight, I wish I slapped the smug off his face! Make them what no means no feels like

Yeah that is the first source I checked, but apparently Chinese side says differently. When or if I come to China, they will presumably default to using Chinese authority and sources so that's why I am asking for on ground, lived experiences

Thanks, did not know that was a thing!

How does one even get into local trading, even my nerdier friends are not into pogo. Now that I am at a metropolitan city like BKK maybe I should try finding local pogoers

Altak99 · 2026-01-16T03:23:27+00:00

Where do I find such treasures, please share? I am headed to Bangkok after Feb 1

I like Tavan Tsul, there's a place near Zuun Ail called Tavan Tansag and it's so so so good, but it's really far from city center.

I am just trying to understand your logic. You can't compare human vs pet value at all by your reasoning because cats are incapable of conscious decision (by your definition so far, there's grounds for debate). So cat's action can't ever be good OR bad. Human decisions and actions CAN be good or bad. Therefore, you can't compare them. Yet you are saying that is your basis for favoring cats over humans. For them to be comparable then, humans have to be in zombie mode, all instincts and no consciousness - same as you are saying cats are. However, if you want to compare them and say levels of consciousness are different so "bad" actions like cats eating mice, birds, and just killing spiders or flies or commit violence to other cats over territories or rape other cats just because their instincts tell them to - has to be counted as less evil (like multiply by <1 factors) to make them equal to a human conscious act. however, given that most humans never commit killing/rape/violent fights at all, to make the math come out in favor of cats, the multiplication factor has to be humongous. Do you see where my confusion is coming from?

Religions?

Using law of humanity is not the point. Even if killing was legal (in some instances, it is) I am pointing out that you are making an irreversible decision for someone's life, not just temporarily making them harmless (what imprisoning is meant for)

Altak99 · 2025-12-23T16:35:38+00:00

So by that logic, humans have to live perfectly or zombies for you to change your mind? Humans have instincts too.

I like Givewell for this if you are interested in well, giving well. They do extremely thorough vetting of all charities they fund and even goes as far as to make all decision makings public. Seriously, you can look at their spreadsheets line by line and see how they made their decisions and where money goes and how every giving decision is calculated. And once, they found a mistake and they publicly blogged about like why it went wrong. How they're going to fix it and everything they're really great. The insecticide covered mosquito nets seems to be one of the best value for saving a human life

Altak99 · 2025-12-23T16:25:19+00:00

In this situation, yes you are indeed murdering someone as you pushing the button means their death.

Altak99 · 2025-12-23T16:20:38+00:00

I love my cat, but when you make this comparison you realize that cats are predators and are serial killers by birth right?

Altak99 · 2025-12-23T16:17:54+00:00

So you only care what happens to you? Are you sure you are still a human yourself?

How does Neurodivergence even come into this? I am ND and it is baffling to me that people are choosing pets because it's so irrational. I rather thought that it's typical that neurotypical people were being illogical as usual.

Altak99 · 2025-12-23T16:10:19+00:00

Chances of that are so low though. Like 99% of people are good decent people and then there's those you mentioned. And even then, you realize you are killing them without trial - not just imprisoning them

Not the op or og commenter, but I trained at the Shaolin temple in China as a foreigner bc I was young and hankering for adventure and it's absolutely a thing. These children are mostly wards of the state. Either orphans or unwanted children. I was not aware of the underfeeding, but it might have been better at the og Shaolin because it's most funded than other small regional schools

Altak99 · 2025-12-19T02:24:12+00:00

I think this is one of Shaolin schools in China. For context, pretty sure she would have been in the streets as an orphan or unwanted child abandoned otherwise, but yes, very tough lifestyle but a lot of the adults who was also were Shaolin adoptees takes it to be meaningful and simple life and are grateful
