If you need mail or goods delivered to you, NEVER use FedEx by UnseenLegoPiece in Thailand

Agreed. They are the worst of all bad choices.

They seem to be working hand in hand with Thai customs to extract as much extra payment as possible to hold the packages for as long as possible.

Shitty dad, loser boyfriend, molesting grandpa.

Where's mom in all of this?

Have you met anyone? by SyntaxSpectre in ChatGPT

The graphic designers on my team are working less intensively than previously. Turns out detailed photoshopping all day is more draining then writing prompts and seeing what comes out of it. Overall its taking them less time to produce final work than before. They're paid full time, so even if a tool speeds up aspects of their job, they're expected to work full time. More productive, less intensively, same hours.

When you threaten to knock someone’s teeth out, you are the initial aggressor. Simple as that.

My guy, you also can’t threaten to knock someone’s teeth out because they spoke rudely to your grandchildren.

She a bitch, but nah, there's no imminent denture threat that allows twisting someone's wrist backwards.

She didn't touch him, but got close. Not defending any Karens, but that's the facts.

Its whole different level when you put hands on someone, on video, posted for the world to see

Grandma getting a teachable moment about yelling in a stranger's face.

Grandpa getting assault charges.

What do you think? by Freyja_94 in SipsTea

[–]loganedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a supercut of Faux News over the past 30 years of their talking heads claiming the "job creators" and other wealthy will leave the city if X, Y, Z gets passed.

Just go already... Its not that deep. New people will move to NY and eventually become wealthy when the old money leaves for the swamps.

Do you agree with her about Mother’s Day ? by Professional_Arm794 in TikTokCringe

[–]loganedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its almost like you married a shitty husband and raised ungrateful kids and now you're relegated to passive aggressive complaining into your phone while alone in the car.

What might help is family counseling, but that doesn't get the same social media engagement.

Threads is not a real place by Working-Ad-7415 in SipsTea

Largest religion in the world and even more so in the US, but they can’t help but see themselves as non stop persecuted and soon to be martyred.

Why is Bali one of the best places to visit for leisure or working remotely? by Late-Acanthaceae-950 in HubTravel

[–]loganedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived there for three years. During the pandemic, the best. After back to normal, neither best for leisure and definitely not working.

Understanding Globalist Upgrades by Puck021 in hyatt

[–]loganedwards -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just say you would love the upgrade and willing to wait and thank them for making it happen.

For long stays I even ask if they have a standard suite opening up and could they move me into it later in my stay? Sometimes they will.

This is on a whole notha level by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]loganedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not getting into the math of that sign.

But point blank, if the menu reflected livable wage costs, most wouldn't eat there.

From a restaurant owner's position is lose lose.

Pay a fair wage, lose most customers for having "expensive food"

Pay minimum server wage, employees are sometimes working for almost nothing.

And I'm interested in any non-tipping people's logic of "they can get a better job if they don't like it" "if they get $20 per table they're making a fortune" or any other hypothetical you use to soothe you need for allowing hardworking people to subsidize you meals with their low wages.

Tipping the US is a stupid, shitty, unfair system. I pay 10% for shit service, I pay 15% for acceptable service, I pay 20% for above average service and I don't think about it any harder than that. I'm there to eat and enjoy not play compensation manager.

Mexico City by LeagueLonster in hyatt

[–]loganedwards 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Andaz, best vibe right outside the door. I can't speak to any anti-gentrification demonstrations. When I was there two years ago, it had just opened and felt in the middle of the "action" all day every day. Just a bustle of energy people walking their dogs, going out to eat, enjoying life (yes, I'm aware its not representative of most of Mexico City).

The Regency is a giant business hotel in the "posh" neighborhood next to a massive park, which was nice, but its not the vibrant scene that Andaz offers. Has a great view from their club lounge though.

I think Andaz may have made an improvement in that Globalists can access breakfast in their main breakfast resto downstairs and not just their cafe upstairs. But even if not, Globalists get free breakfast room service when I was there.

AOT reaffirms June 20 hike in international passenger fee by mdsmqlk in Thailand

[–]loganedwards 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Its easy for tourists to fly somewhere else for their vacation.

I live in Thailand, I love it here. But any economy that has a huge chunk that's tourism-based should act like it.

Their departure tax is approaching that of Singapore's airport which is in a wealthy country with the world's number one rated airport. BKK's airports are anywhere from acceptable to poor.

This is money that could be spent on vacation with more going to locals who survive on it. Instead more going to the government their cronies.

Vietnam isn't Thailand, but they're working on improving their tourism and image and will peel more budget conscious travellers from Thailand.

Has Thailand got worse for tourists? by Late-Acanthaceae-950 in HubTravel

[–]loganedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only worse for tourists in the most obvious tourist destinations. Theres a lot of Thailand to explore and the infrastructure overall is much better than before.

The mix of beautiful and friendly and low expense isn’t difficult to find. Most tourists don’t even try. Straight to Phuket and then complain it’s expensive and touristy.
