Re: trump in Bangkok

As funny as this is, it's another example of the type of world we're heading towards. One where it will be impossible to distinguish truth from fiction on any level, through any medium or for any reason, which for me, is a pretty scary world to be living in. At the moment, we can still usually disti...

Re: ACE School's Michael Strahan (Teacher Michael in Cambodia) Admits to Grooming Underage Student in Cambodia

https://files.catbox.moe/dbyygs.jpg Please don't think for a minute that I'm defending the fat Pennywise, but given that the this picture says it comes from an account called "theothermichaelstrahan", doesn't that indicate it's a parody account? I'm not very clued up on these things. Or i...

Re: UK pension reciprocal agreement or not...

I know someone who barely paid a penny in tax for their entire working life. (working in the UK) Always self employed, somehow stayed under the radar for his entire career, and he seemed to just disappear from the books. When it came to him retiring and having to claim a pension, he was clearly worr...

Re: It's going to be hot this afternoon in Phnom Penh

The heat can get too much sometimes but it’s the water that gets me the most. I like an afternoon shower but sometimes the heat of the ‘cold’ water is unbearable. I have to let the shower run for about 5 minutes before I can even put my hand in it.

Re: Scott Jameson, English-Teaching Magician in Cambodia, Arrested by FBI for Child Pornography

I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I'm certain that one of the main reasons these people get off with light sentences is because half of the judiciary are nonces themselves. There was a big scandal many years ago in Belgium, it's difficult to find information about it online now, but a huge ...

Re: Operation to inspect the residences of foreigners

I used to get visits like this quite frequently when I lived in a condo, but as I was never there, they often just dealt with my landlord and I would just give him my documents for when they came back. They did come once when a friend was there, they asked to see me and when he told them I wasn't th...

Re: Your Health

Health and well-being is huge business, which is absolutely flooded with contradicting advice, it's impossible to make any sense of it. For every video that tells you it's all about exercise, there's another one that tells you it's all about diet. For every video that tells you to watch your carbs, ...

Re: October 7, film report from Aljazeera

If you were to tell the story of humanity to an alien race, much of it would involve conflicts, wars and genocides. It is undoubtably one of the fundamental aspects of our species. Whilst wars and conflicts may have become more regional over the past few decades, this is a blink of an eye in human h...

Re: VIDEO: Ship hits Keys Bridge in Maryland (USA)

Conspiracy theories are already abound across social media, with many saying that it lost power (at least the onboard electrical power as in lighting etc) before seemingly deliberately steering into the bridge - which is would need power to do. It seems strange that it only lost part of its power su...
