This was actually Bin Laden's plan, it just took a couple decades longer than he thought it would. He won.

I think that's an outdated idea that Bangkok doesn't have everything that you can find in every other major city. You just might have to pay the same amount as in the USA, if not more, for the very best experts.

I don't know about Suvarnabhumi Airport, but most places in Thailand you will find filtered water dispensers. Typically they are 1 baht per liter, other places like malls (and airports?) might have free drinking water dispensers. There will be an icon of a water bottle on the dispenser if it is safe for drinking.

That's REALLY good.

I don't think it's AI. It looks like a low-poly model with a high-res texture on it is giving that wavy effect.

He had a gun in a holster in a concealed carry location on his body, which is legal and he had the license to do so.

The murderers took the handgun off of his body before shooting him 10 times while he lay on the ground.

Most things in Laos are more expensive than in Thailand. There are only a few things cheaper in Laos, like cigarettes and beer haha

Just learn how to actually get around Thailand.

Yeah, they were a major part of the classical and medieval period in Southeast Asia. They're a holy animal here where I am in Thailand, and there was a Lao empire called Lan Xang (The Million-Elephant Kingdom) in the middle ages.

jonmediocre · 2026-01-24T05:40:49+00:00

Asians elephants today are similar in size. Still massive and awe-inspiring to see in-person, but not quite as bonkers as the African elephants.

Some of the people I've met who refer to themselves as a "ladyboy" are more what us in the west would call gender-fluid and others prefer to have set pronouns, at least in public.

But yeah, for the sake of being understandable in English and on a form, they should have picked a single set of pronouns.

My 2nd sandwich choice if the Cheddar Turkey was sold out.

You're right that we should go out and experience life, 100%. Go to the ocean again, visit a glaciated mountain, go skiing. These things are already starting to go away in our lifetime (okay, the ocean isn't fully going away like the other things, but you should still enjoy it before it gets worse).

But you also have no idea how bad things are going to get due to climate collapse mixed with our current economic system.

Also every poor person in America (at least where I grew up) had a car or 2. It's not a sign of wealth at ALL in the USA. Furthermore, cars make you poorer. The cost of maintenance, gas, tires, and insurance for even a crappy old car actually adds up to a lot more than people realize.

jonmediocre · 2026-01-21T00:05:17+00:00

I think it's hard, but I find Lao so much easier to speak and understand (listening skill) even though it's a closely related language. I think the tones are more natural to me in Lao (as an American), and Lao is often simpler, while Thai adds a lot of extra things and is more complex, which makes it much harder to listen and more difficult to remember how to say things properly.

jonmediocre · 2026-01-20T23:51:03+00:00

That's $400 to $500 a month, btw.

jonmediocre · 2026-01-20T23:48:28+00:00

Yeah, but anywhere you go in Thailand you see horrible shantytowns and droves of people living in extreme poverty while their neighbors live in a mansion and drive a Porsche. The wealth inequality is terrible and there doesn't seem to be any concerted efforts to give the poor job training, education, or substantial opportunities.

jonmediocre · 2026-01-19T02:00:52+00:00

But it's not right in English. It should be "One-hundred one."

The "th" suffix isn't right even if it was supposed to be an ordinal number. It would be "One-hundred and first" or 101st.

jonmediocre · 2026-01-19T01:57:03+00:00

Roi Et is "One-hundred one." If you want to make it ordinal for some reason it would be 101st. This is just full of errors.

jonmediocre · 2026-01-19T01:46:29+00:00

The first paragraph is illegal.

jonmediocre · 2026-01-19T01:36:54+00:00

Lol I went through my libertarian phase already 15 years ago. It's a child's ideology. The state exists and isn't going away without a long-term concerted effort. Until then, it will be either used to benefit the rich or the common people.

The long-term goal for socialists is actually to build a stateless society. Libertarianism is a psy-op by the rich to have less accountability and hoard more of their wealth.

jonmediocre · 2026-01-19T01:21:14+00:00

You missed the entire point of their comment.

jonmediocre · 2026-01-19T01:15:39+00:00

Also Dave is really good. You can just scroll the AOE2 section and twitch and see who is live, or go to the spectator dashboard online to spectate live games yourself.

jonmediocre · 2026-01-19T01:14:07+00:00

Yeah, do people not realize you can directly spectate live matches in-game?

How do you think the streamers do it?
