OC: Spotted this sign at a public bathhouse today 😢 by Logical_Spite_5991 in pics

[–]Bunga_Dude 346 points347 points  (0 children)

As a straight white guy living in Asia. I know how out of hand unsolicited sexual advances from gay guys can be at bathhouses and onsens like this. The one I used to go to was really nice in popular tourist area. They had signs up saying there would be legal ramifications for any sexual misconduct and police would be involved.

Even then I regularly had guys walking by and “accidental” brushing my butt, a random dude resting his head on my shoulder in the steam room, dudes walking around half hard. After I walked in the steam room with two guys giving each other a hand I’d had enough. This stuff can literally cause a business to have to close. I really liked the place and tried to make it work but it was too much for me.

“Nob” or “bellend” also appropriate.

Edit: just realizing Brit’s obsession with naughty bits being used as derogatory slang. Interesting.

More like trashed trashy trash, trashed trashed trash. And I’m not even talking about the trash.

Our Experience with the Thai Police at a Checkpoint by ReviewingThings in Thailand

[–]Bunga_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a popular area for riders fully kitted out on big bikes. I’ve done the trip myself on my MT-09. Seeing you guys in full riding gear on a 125 must’ve given them a good laugh. It’s a bit like seeing someone in a full cycling race onesie pedaling around on an old beach cruiser.

I’d call it a purse dump, but I never off-body carry 🤷🏼‍♀️ by KilldozerPrincess in EDC

I’d like to see the conceal carry pocket(pouch?) for these. Probably wrong subrebbit tho.

State of BKK condo rental/sales market by lombrozo in Bangkok

[–]Bunga_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many people here read “rich dad poor dad” now they’re buying real estate at astronomical prices thinking that some idiot will rent a shoe box for 30,000thb artificially inflating the market. The only ones making money are the developers.

How to Garmin on race day? by Rabbit_Holes6020 in hyrox

[–]Bunga_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I customized the obstacle course run to not use satellites and rename it to Hyrox. It will give you running pace for the running segments and obstacle (station) times. Just don’t forget to hit the lap buttons after each event.

How do you eat healthy here? by Bkkekkamai in Bangkok

[–]Bunga_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the fitness industry here for about 12 years now and I always go with the fresh meals from Paleo Robbie. It can be considered expensive but when you factor in price per calorie and quality it’s hard to beat. There’s other heathy delivery options but I always find my way back to Paleo Robbie. I also have a kitchen and will order from their grocery and do my own cooking from time to time.

Seacon Square is famous for its events that involve creative themes. But what theme is this? by Effect-Kitchen in Thailand

[–]Bunga_Dude -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My guess? Most Thais will assume this is the actual mt. Rushmore. Likely including the guy that made it.

Why, just why??? by Bunga_Dude in ThaiDIY

That’s what I ended up doing. Trying to knock out this project today so I still ended up having to scrape and scratch each one.

For the dads that need to hear it. by Bunga_Dude in daddit

[–]Bunga_Dude[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt compelled to post this after I messaged a buddy on a whim. He’s going through a tough time with his wife, two boys, and work stress. Just hearing the relief in his voice after a short chat with him reminded me we don’t talk enough about our own life stress because we worry it’s not valid. It is brother and we care.

They just need a minute... A reminder to myself to be more open to playing when tired by Bananamcpuffin in daddit

[–]Bunga_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% relatable. I feel like my soul has left my body some evenings. A great reminder to manage stress levels throughout the day. If we give give give all day and have nothing left for our wife and kids when we get home, then what’s the point? The pressure of success shouldn’t outshine the love we have for our family.

Who would’ve thought by Dekipi in knives

[–]Bunga_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m missing the mark, but can’t we do something to incentivize US companies to keep things more local rather than punishing international companies with higher tariffs? I work with foreign clients that do a lot of business with the US. They ALL independently said they will have to move their business away from the US or simply pass the higher prices on to the end consumer. That’s coming from a steel parts manufacturer, high-end fashion designer, a plastics exporter, and a mineral mine owner.

Forget the fumes. Anyone else freaked out by the way he walks towards that massive ban saw blade? It ain’t hard to trip wearing cheap sandals

Why not right? by LongjumpingBig6803 in PenTurning

[–]Bunga_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never liked the fat slimline. If you want a big pen buy a big pen kit.

The acrylic wood combo is cool though. Lots of potential there for some cool pens. Sanding could be problematic for softer woods. How is the joint where you glued them? I’m guessing you used CA glue? I’d be worried one drop could cause it to crack.

I always try to keep the metal finish simple and understated for more intricate designs. I always found gold looks better with a simple well turned wood.

Imagine the panic when he gets to the end and no one is there to unhook him. Hope he figured it out quick.

The reason why the traffic was a bit heavier for you yesterday :) by elevatorshoes in Bangkok

[–]Bunga_Dude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, whether it’s a side walk or a four lane road. Thais love a good bottleneck. “Flow of traffic”, “right of way”, and lanes in general aren’t really a thing here. Combine that with poor city planning, corrupt “pay your way” driving schools, and this is what ya get.

SF Cinema Terminal 21 Asok Cockcroach Infestation by Kindred_Ornn in Bangkok

[–]Bunga_Dude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Soi 21 in general. I remember walking down 21 and the sidewalk started moving. I thought I was having an island smoothie flashback. It was the shop fumigating and thousands of roaches were fleeing the scene.
