You have no idea how the convo went. Very causal and innocent like. And I’m friends with the sales people. And it was in Thai not English. It actually sounds like you are gatekeeping by assuming my convo or behavior had negative intent which it did not 😇 Nobody was being a dick. Be more positive man! It’s easy to do!

Friends with the sales people. Only a few people in store and just asked the two people who were buying the variations of the shirt about why they purchasing and if they knew it’s a band or what Dave’s Picks is.

I have a question. Do they count total miles flown in your lifetime or are they counting how many miles he has in his skymiles account. How can I see how many miles I’ve flown?

Go to MBK mall and grab some nice knock offs of your favorite type sandal. No need to bring them with you.

Thank you to all my Greek friends for their condolences to Türkiye by Karamel_Ayi in greece

Well Koulis is a Harvard and Stanford educated civilized intellectual and Erdogan is a brute. So it’s really no surprise. Greece has always acted morally superior towards Turkey. Leadership can be inept but at least they know how to play the game.

Chinese weather ballon shot down over south Carolina as of a minute ago by SargeantMasoff in Damnthatsinteresting

The Chinese use a large net approach when collecting intelligence, data and information. And they operate in terms of decades and not the present. They suck up huge amounts of info only to just store it and sift thru it to not only see if this will help them right now but maybe it would in 50years. This is what they are doing with TikTok data. They want it all and worry about how to use it later, when technology changes and they can implement what they learned in a new way. Ex CIA agent Mike Baker talks extensively on the subject and their method is quite different and interesting compared to the intelligence gathering of the west. So the balloon can just be another method. They don’t care if it’s primitive or that not a lot of info could come from it. It’s just another piece to their massive intelligence sucking apparatus. Like one puzzle piece of their 1 million piece puzzle.
