Just Your Bad Luck
Credit to the missus for this interesting tidbit.
Chief of Police of Takeo in an interview about the rash of rocks being thrown at cars, commented that it was just the drivers’ bad luck. Not the fault of criminals. Just the driver’s luck to have their cars just arrive at the point impact.
Now the media is all abuzz about whether drivers need to have them and their cars blessed before approaching intersections where rock throwing has occurred.
In other news, thieves stole 6 peacocks from an old grandma. Grandma appealed to Iron Man, who said they need to be returned. Grandma got her 20 peacocks back.

Aren’t peacocks considered good luck? Drivers could put a peacock in their car as well as have a blessing. Could work.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 9:03 am Credit to the missus for this interesting tidbit.

Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

This kind of thinking reminds me of being told, not long after moving to Cambodia, that a common perception amongst some Khmers when something bad happens to foreigners is "if you hadn't have moved here in the first place it wouldn't have happened".
I have to clue as to the validity of this.

The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.

I've also heard the "if you hadn't of moved here this wouldn't of happened"
No shit Sherlock, a lot of things wouldn't happen if people simply didn't do anything.

Rather akin to the Middle East where inshallah attitude reigns, and if an accident involves an infidel, it’s automatically the fault of the infidel for being there, and not the will of aforementioned omnipotent-incompetent.
