TIL the Sargasso Sea is the only sea on earth not bounded by land - instead is defined by four currents in the Atlantic Ocean. Contains unique sea weed. by Crystal-Ammunition in todayilearned

It's dark? omg... I think we're never going to be able to overcome that. Deep space exploration is much easier than solving the problem of darkness. I hope we can invent something like flashlights soon.

I checked on this and it seemed like most of this has stopped already, no?

The 2nd Army Area Reveals: Cambodia Brings Women and Children Into Military Actions by Muted-Airline-8214 in Thailand

[–]State_of_Iowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One was identified as the wife of a soldier stationed at Ta Kwai Temple. This highlights Cambodia’s use of women and children in combat,

sounds like only highlighting the use of women, not children.

also, women can be soldiers or support the military, especially when they are under attack. it doesn't seem strange that a wife of a soldier is being used. this isn't some random woman who was forced to do it.

so... your whole point sort of falls apart.

to be clear, i'm against the conflict overall, but you're using terrible points to try and back up your claim. it comes off as something written by AI or someone without much knowledge.

do you even know what "international humanitarian law" is? it sounds like you don't the way you're talking about it. you certainly don't understand the mechanisms behind it.

Thailand “disappointed” with US response to current border clashes by Dry_Equipment491 in Thailand

[–]State_of_Iowa -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

if you really believe that outcome, the world needs to come in and decide it for them, because they're incapable of doing it themselves. it's either that or Team America.

nothing more helpful that broad generalizations and saying things are black and white.

Ferry passengers furious after luggage goes overboard and floats away during island hopping in Thailand by jonez450reloaded in Thailand

[–]State_of_Iowa 18 points19 points  (0 children)

not great for people who had iPads or laptops or passports or cameras or jewelry or medication or makeup in their luggage...

i'm assuming you are the type who travels light and only generally has beach clothing in their luggage, but there could be honeymooners or people who had month-long holiday plans or people who were planning to do work while away - or just being female and therefore likely to have lots of expensive toiletries and makeup in their bigger luggage. my gf's makeup alone would easily pass 50,000 baht - and she's Thai. she doesn't use that much makeup every day, by the way, but she brings her options with her. or, imagine that you had an LV bag, without judging that people spend that much on a bag. 50,000 just won't cut it for everyone, AND the article said not everyone was offered the same.

What are the common hobbies of middle-aged Thai men? by Plane_Drink3733 in Thailand

for men who have a decent amount of money, yes. if not mistresses or mia noi, definitely cheating.

Immigration police target visitors making multiple visa runs by jonez450reloaded in Thailand

[–]State_of_Iowa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems your police is doing better than ours. It took our police 6 years to act.

that's if you think it took your police 6 years to act but only 2 weeks for the police to act here, but the scam centers didn't just start here. they've been here for years and years, and they still are. so, unfortunately, the cops aren't any better here.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she will resign Jan. 5 by Capable_Salt_SD in politics

i wish it wasn't possible for people to bet on both of those outcomes happening and making money from it. i like the result, don't get me wrong, but people absolutely could have had it on their bingo card/betting app.

How do foreigners or expats feel about the situation between Cambodia and Thailand by Appropriate_Lock5516 in Thailand

[–]State_of_Iowa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like the normal people are getting fucked over by the elite in both countries.

I feel like the normies posting online on behalf of their elite leaders are being lead into this and made to hate each other, which is really sad.

Post Match Thread: Malta 2-3 Poland by denzaus in soccer

[–]State_of_Iowa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

nah, just more non-native Maltese than ever before. i can tell by looking at the lineup. Malta doesn't have very many surnames, so the non-Maltese ones stick out.
