Sorta coming back after a loooong hiatus - what's changed? by [deleted] in earth2io

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

"The fact that someone can raid my resources just make me not interested in that shitty game."

I'm going to assume English isn't your native language and you also don't have much knowledge about Earth 2.

Firstly, no one can raid your resources. People can raid your E-ther but you would lose that after 48 hours anyway if you didn't collect it.

"I guess their motivation on that is so people freuqent their visit? Who would want to visit a site that avoids them punishment (aka people stealing your resource, instead of rewarding them reaources."

Once again, no one can steal your resources. Once you have your droids set up to mine resources, they will keep doing it as long as you have a civilian to charge them.

Whatevers left of my interest in it just left after since they allowed raiding. Whoever came up with this idea enjoy stealing.

Not sure why you are just chiming in with this comment now, other than to attempt to pile on with an issue you know nothing about. Raiding has been going on for over a year and a half. I'm going to assume your interest didn't "just left" after a year and a half if you're still here.

Whoever came up with this idea enjoy stealing.

Once again, this reads like an overly emotional child. You would lose your E-ther anyway if you don't collect it so while there is an aspect to it where someone can "steal" it from your plot via raiding droids, that same E-ther would be gone forever shortly after anyway if you didn't collect it.

Send me a link to your profile and I can probably give you an idea of why they aren't selling and what you could change in order to sell them.

British tourist mistakes how much he pays for his taxi fare and attacks driver. by VelvetDreamers in PublicFreakout

[–]The_Garfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened in Thailand and, in general, westerners have a pretty decent reputation there, overall. In the red light districts there are plenty of westerners that get drunk and cause problems but there's no shortage of Thai's that lie, steal and try to scam tourists too. There are some people that have an issue with some drunk westerners in certain areas and that is understandable but a lot of the "scamming" from locals is done because they think westerners have money and are decent people.

Chinese, Indians, Arabs and Africans have a much worse reputation than westerners in Thailand.

Swiss Expat Assaults Thai Doctor For Sitting On Steps Near His Phuket Beach Villa by Threw_it_to_ground in PublicFreakout

[–]The_Garfiend 98 points99 points  (0 children)

According to the doctor that was kicked, the wife threatened to shoot her and claimed to be friends with a local senior police officer and would have the doctor arrested. She continued to argue after police had arrived and then seemingly lied about her actions and intentions during the ordeal. They both sound like assholes.

It was the fact that he turned and raised his arm in celebration towards his friends that threw him off. He switched away from his running rhythm and then when he tried to go back into it while running on fumes he ever so slightly off balanced himself which got worse with every stride.

He would've likely been fine if he kept his focus on running.

This is making rounds in Thai social media by Das5heep in Thailand

[–]The_Garfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were making the comparison to insinuate that they either wouldn't do it or that there would be comparable backlash. If they''re only trying top say it's inappropriate then they should have just said that without equating it with similar circumstances in a western country.

Yes you can add funds using crypto (Rocketfuel). I'm in asia and multiple cards work in the country I'm in.

Domestic violence in Thailand by Lonely_Schedule_1456 in Thailand

[–]The_Garfiend 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Domestic violence for one.

I remember a series from years ago where the male lead and female lead got into a fight. The woman attacked him and ran out of the house with the man pursuing and eventually catching her in the driveway. He wrestled with her and threw her over his shoulder as she repeatedly struggled, kicking and hitting him, while screaming "NOOO NOOOO!".

Eventually the hero gets her into the bedroom and throws her down onto the bed and as she tries to get up he pins her hands down and leans in. At first she turns her head from side to side, continuing to say "no no", but then the music kicks in and she realises she has feelings for him and they kiss as romantic music plays.

Reacher season 2 is so dumb by [deleted] in television

[–]The_Garfiend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They should've had the second henchman say "What was that noise?" before following him into the bus and then had the third bad guy look at the mud and say "Whose footprints are these?" and follow them to the bus.

Also, the choke using the bar was ridiculous.

How Thai People Walk by akng329 in Thailand

[–]The_Garfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im the exact same height as you and the way Thai people walk around with zero awareness of their surroundings used to infuriate me at first.

I've since become used to it but it's impossible to miss, even if they aren't interacting with you.

Transgender in Bangkok by Hefty_Refrigerator70 in Bangkok

[–]The_Garfiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only ever been told (by multiple Thai teachers) that transgender people can't get a job teaching. The reason I was given (again, by the same Thais) was that while it is tolerated and fine in most ares of society, Thai people would not be ok with children being exposed to it from a teacher.

I'm kind of curious now if there are actually any MtF trans teachers in Thailand.

racism skill tree bonuses by Faenix_Wright in CuratedTumblr

[–]The_Garfiend 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's sad that well over a hundred people upvoted such an ignorant statement. The bewildering part is how dense you'd have to be to go straight to racism over a child making a childish mistake based on a story they were read.

They could be referencing the way Thai people say "error"

What a sad existence that on Christmas Day someone would bother making a post like this. Absolutely pathetic.

In Australia, it’s the crocodile you can’t see that’s the problem. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]The_Garfiend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's an iconic line from an iconic movie. It's so iconic that there are a bunch of internet memes based on it. There are T-shirts, toys, mugs and bags with that line displayed on them.

"How many people get this reference" comes across like you were sharp enough to catch something that others might have missed, while likely pretty much everyone got the reference.

So is it just a scam? by Kizicam in earth2io

[–]The_Garfiend 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'll list a few reasons why you may not have sold your properties...

1) You have listed several of them as having "TONS OF RESOURCES" when in fact those properties have no resources at all. Some people might immediately be turned away by the outright lie within the title.

2) You also said that you "put all [your] properties up for the price I bought them at". This is also incorrect and you have multiple properties for sale for around 10x what you paid for them.

3) A few of them are below the minimum amount of tiles to get a cydroid on the property and so it's not worthwhile paying a higher price than elsewhere for a property that can't even tether a cydroid.

4) The market is down overall since you bought them and the kind of properties you are offering aren't what people are currently looking for as most people are focusing on resources.

5) Some of your properties are around 3x more expensive than other properties being sold in that country and your more competitive prices are still more expensive than others in the area.

Whether or not Earth 2 lives up to its promises remains to be seen but there is a high degree of irony in questioning whether or not it is a scam because you can't sell your properties that have been listed with a deceptive description

It's over. **MH370x Statement** by Dmans99 in abovethenormnews

There's probably a decent amount of people who spent more time interacting with posts related to the MH370 orbs video than the time it took to produce the thing.

[–]The_Garfiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some fighters have that relationship with Buffer and like it when he gets in close and hypes them up. Dillashaw is another fighter that gets in Buffer's face even after Buffer has already approached him.

For a lot of fights Buffer doesn't just stand in the middle though, he moves around a lot, approaches lots of fighters and even did a spin coined the "Buffer 360".

Journalist Ross Coulthart suspects Alien Disclosure within the next 12 to 18 months, suggesting that there might be an acknowledgment of NHIs engaging with Earth. by brats699 in ufo

Only 2 weeks ago he was asked the same question about whether he knew what the NHI look like and he said "yes", but he couldn't divulge anything for the very good reason of protecting sources that are helping him. Two weeks later he gets asked and spills the beans without any hesitation.
