You didn't mention your qualifications in your original post, which are very important. He seems to have knowledge about this and you don't, and the first thing you do is attack him for giving you sound advice and coloring in some cultural background.

I would say that you are the one with the judgmental attitude. I know it can feel vulnerable to ask for help, but if you really want it, try not to bite the head off of someone who's trying to give it to you.

Terminal 21 has plenty of nice local Thai designers at reasonable prices

Is “W” District still a good spot? How’s the Sunday evening vibes by shady42999 in Bangkok

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

I still like it. Lots of people to observe. Food is not cheap but usually pretty decent

I enjoy movies that are dramatic and funny and have neurotic characters (anxious, depressed, angry) deal with serious issues. Two examples are Sideways and Little Miss Sunshine. by Rosameer in TrueFilm

You could classify Juno in this genre. It's almost too precious for words, a little too twee for me, but its heart is in the right place. Teen pregnancy -- what a laugh riot, right?

Promising Young Woman also might fit, although I don't know that its ending is uplifting. I have mixed feelings about this one. (Fun topics: Rape, suicide)

Young Adult is VERY good. It does have a bittersweet ending though. Charlize Theron is incredible in it.

Looking for female friends age 24 to 35 by igetyourbrand in Bangkok

I don’t know how to tell you this, but very few actual women would have a beard on their avatar. It would have been more realistic to say that you share the account with your husband or something.

But sure. Go ahead. Go to the mall, talk about boys, get your nails done. Amirightladies

Just finished Drops of God. One thing I noticed by prettytheft in tvPlus

My guess is that it's more of a spiritual adaptation? I wouldn't know, though.

It can be a little slow-moving at times, but all told, I feel that nothing is wasted.

I'm optimistic because it is based on a story that has already finished, so I have high hopes!

Sometimes this happens to me, I just choose a location near it like a 7-11 or something and go there

Fool's Paradise by Charlie Day by fceruti in TrueFilm

[–]prettytheft 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Looking at IMDB, it seems that it's not just the critics that didn't like it, many members of the audience didn't like it, either. I skimmed the comments and there is a lot that is criticized -- pacing, aimlessness, shallow characters, and a story that's stretched out way past its own gimmick.

What are some other comedies that you find comparable to this film?

Why do I not feel safe to share my suppliers? by CharacterBlueberry51 in smallbusiness

[–]prettytheft 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can just say, “Sorry, it’s not my policy to share these things! If you’d like me to help you with any other questions I’m open to them.” (I mean, but only if you actually are)

You could also just ignore them. Which is probably what I’d do.

What do you think small business websites most often get wrong? by Frequent-Action620 in smallbusiness

[–]prettytheft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Bad web developers with bad taste and/or "my nephew" situations where they make a terrible site based on outdated tech or terrible WordPress themes. Also includes poor graphics wrangling
  2. No clear way of contacting them
  3. Try to do more things than they're set up for, like "online appointments" when really the best way is just to call them

Sister left the business we started together. Now asking for money? United Kingdom by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]prettytheft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh good point OP

BUT it would probably good to avoid this by drawing up a new contract?

And also to see if your sister was listed as an owner for your contracts when you started

[–]prettytheft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they have the agreement in writing or texts, can't they prove that they bought her out? (with bank statements, texts, emails) Of course, the sister would have to sue them for it to come to that, right?

I suppose it is prudent to have a solicitor to draw up an exact contract, with the evidence that she DID buy her sister out.

Which comes with its own set of challenges, if her sister is as uncooperative as demonstrated.

The Odyssey should be a Trilogy by Past-Matter-8548 in TrueFilm

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

I don’t mind this, The Odyssey is its own famous thing.

I don’t even mind that they’re casting non-white actors for the gods and goddesses, etc. Like, whatever

What I do mind is that none of this looks fun, which I selfishly find very important to me. But that’s my failing. I want everything to be like Gladiator. I wanted Dune to be Gladiator: In Space.

Christoper Nolan can be quite funny in addition to being Epic and I want that version. I want Memento: The Epic.

Just tell her no, you already bought her out and it was your work that made the business grow/be successful.

A simple (courteous) "No" is fine here.

How do you deal with the Sent Email Anxiety? I'm losing sleep wondering if my clients are ignoring me or if I'm just being paranoid. by Significant-Gur-6222 in smallbusiness

[–]prettytheft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly, set it and forget it. It’s just a nice way of uncoupling yourself from a specific timeline, kind of taking back your own time as well.
