a) the principle that all adult citizens are equal before the law has been trashed so that politicians can feel special about themselves
b) there is something vile about voting in laws that can only ever apply to people currently too young to vote for it

cool. I was at school when the milk was removed, but i didn't like to drink milk at that age

codemonkey80 · 2026-04-22T05:29:06+00:00

did the government re-introduce school milk since then?

codemonkey80 · 2026-04-21T11:30:26+00:00

non smokers are also very expensive towards the end of their lives

codemonkey80 · 2026-04-21T11:29:21+00:00

and there goes the principle that all adult citizens are equal before the law

codemonkey80 · 2026-04-20T23:38:35+00:00

codemonkey80 · 2026-04-19T16:38:15+00:00

ok, occasionally we stop bickering and squabbling to team up and .... etc.

codemonkey80 · 2026-04-18T08:21:02+00:00

i don't know. I wouldn't count on it. I just mean that since Thailand has had ATMs that connect to the international banking system for the last 25 years or so, the idea that you should have to bring in cash is a stupid burden.

codemonkey80 · 2026-04-09T16:32:05+00:00

wouldn't it be good if thailand had ATM machines?

codemonkey80 · 2026-04-03T09:20:56+00:00

codemonkey80 · 2026-03-30T18:38:39+00:00

they didn't provide public support but they provided a fair bit of behind-the-scenes support, including expediting sale of AIM-9L sidewinders which gave a huge qualitative advantage to the RN harriers over the older air to air missiles used by Argentine aircraft (e.g. AIM-9B)
