  1. Past hour
  2. On a recent trip, I ended up using Cabify the most: it has the option to select Taxi ASAP - it was a lot quicker to arrive than Uber or regular cabify (think 5min instead of 15), for like 1-2k more... Granted, some of the taxis were in pretty bad shape, but I got there quickly and alive... most of the drivers were nice, no issues... While Uber has found a legal loophole, some drivers are still hesitant at the airport, prefer for you to sit up front & want you to know their name in case the police stops them... Much easier, if you speak some Spanish...no such issues with the taxis on cabify...
  3. Today
  4. At the trial, it was elicited that those statements, made to a friend, were said in jest. The radical leftists on this forum wouldn't understand that because it is a well known fact that the left wing has no sense of humor. There was NO evidence that he was looking to shoot people. He was a victim of a BLM mob who surrounded his vehicle, kicked it, smashed the windows, and frankly behaved like wild animals. You can choose the animals: i.e gorillas? wolves? pit bulls? This pardon was approved by an independent Parole Board. This pardon is RIGHTEOUS NULLIFICATION of an unjust indictment, criminal trial, and sentencing perpetrated/enabled by a corrupt Soros backed Travis County DA, a gullible progressive liberal Austin Democrat stacked grand jury and trial jury, and a bigoted/biased leftist trial court judge! God Bless Texas!
  5. This is a passage above of texts from Perry's phone, Among these included Perry declaring "I am a racist," and comparing the Black Lives Matter movement to "monkeys" multiple times, and also as "animals at the zoo". He also stated in a text, "To [sic] bad we can't get paid for hunting Muslims in Europe." It was also revealed evidence obtained when Perry's phone was seized, How does that not make him an avowed racist? I have no patience for protesters of any kind who want to block other people from going where they want to go. But the evidence suggests he was looking for an opportunity to shoot people.
  6. You’ll have a great time and the rate tends to be around E50, more for longer
  7. Daniel Perry is not "an avowed racist" Saying so does not make it so. Did you even bother reading the pardon proclamation of US Army Sargent Daniel Perry. A pardon that was reviewed AND approved by the Texas Parole Board? I'm guessing not. I'll throw you a lifeline here: "WHEREAS, on July 25, 2020, Daniel Scott Perry, while driving on a public road in Austin, slowed his vehicle as he rounded a corner onto Congress Avenue and encountered a group of protestors obstructing traffic; and WHEREAS, Daniel Scott Perry’s car was immediately surrounded by aggressive protestors who rushed to obstruct, strike, pound, smash, and kick his vehicle; and WHEREAS, Garrett Foster then approached within 18 inches of Daniel Scott Perry’s car, confronted him, and brandished a Kalashnikov-style rifle in the low-ready firing position; and WHEREAS, Daniel Scott Perry fired his handgun at Garrett Foster to eliminate a perceived threat to his safety and called law enforcement less than one minute later to inform them of the incident; and WHEREAS, Daniel Scott Perry explained to law enforcement at the time that he used his weapon because he feared losing his life and has since consistently stated that he acted in self-defense/" Daniel Perry was an innocent driver in a car that was set upon by a BLM mob of racist rioters. The racist mob surrounded his vehicle and kicked and smashed his vehicle. One of the mob approached Perry, coming 18 inches from him, brandished a Kalashnikov in a threatening manner. Good for Scott Perry that he was armed to defend himself from Foster. Pointing a gun at a person means you have intent. Never a good idea. Glad that Perry was pardoned but too bad he had to go through all of this. Garrett was reckless and got killed because he foolishly waved a gun around. Daniel Perry acted reasonably, responsibly, and intelligently. The BLM racist mob was neither reasonable, responsible, nor intelligent. Justice was served and the BLM agitator is six feet underground.
  8. June-July 2027 10 cities planned included Porto Alegre where the two possible stadiums were/are non-operational due to recent disastrous flooding. Imagine the potential additional gaúcho demoralization if consequently sidelined based on concerns of a repeat extreme weather event, priority of recovery funding, etc. I wonder if the event will influence deferred visa plans for 2025. United States was biggest tourism boon for Australia last year. One might expect at least a waiver for the tournament. However, the question of reciprocity takes on new meaning since Canada and USA are among the Men’s co-hosts in 2026. All three nations subject to upcoming visa reinstatement played in 2023. Some African nations subject to visa requirements may also qualify and the question of waiver will apply. I do believe that entry of Brazilians to Australia was not uncomplicated.
  9. The fact remains: the governor literally let an avowed racist get away with murder. There is zero legitimacy that his self-appointed cronies agreed with him.
  10. I was at moonlight recently. The fee is 500 to enter. Drinks for the boy is 450. Bar fine is 500 if you are taking a boy. Fee for boy is 3000.
  11. Yes, they are completely fluent on LINE and in person there's a guy at the front desk who speaks very good English. Unlike some of the other places (like KMAN) they don't try to upsell you more services (more expensive oils, longer session) and are very polite / customer service oriented.
  12. Glad you are already able to make a further visit! I have to wait until November!
  13. Never happened to me, unfortunately! I am based in UK and have a regular stable of guys whom I see. None have suggested a free visit, though I think I treat them well, as some have been around for 5 years or so. Not even, 'three visits, one for free'! When I am abroad, I am often not in a place long enough for repeat visits. I have been in Bangkok, and Siem Reap for a week, and seen a boy twice, but no free offers. More often a later request to contribute to the family buffalo, etc! You must have particular charm. I think that if a guy I know suggested a free visit, I would accept, but still paying fares, drinks, etc.
  14. The best shop I have found in Silom 6 is RELAX... they have great response skills on LINE app and the masseurs are all very friendly. Rooms are clean with shower and have GREAT AC which the others (like Paradise) do not. No fun sweating in a massage before all the action starts.
  15. msn.com? lmfao You really need to find something to do with your life other than sit in front of a computer reading msn.com all day. msn.com = TDS
  16. All members of the Parole Board nominated by the Governor must be approved by the Texas Senate. If you want to change this, then Texans should either elect a Dem Governor or a Dem Senate.
  17. There was even this 1 guy already there as early as 7pm sitting on his motorbike, it's the very loud baldy guy (again I'm bad remembering names).
  18. Lesbian bar? Interesting niche!

  20. From Thai PBS World Move Forward party-list MP, Paramee Waichongcharoen, who identifies as transgender, discusses why Thai politics are still dominated by men and how parliamentarians from the LGBTQ community, including women, are being treated in a male-dominated parliament. Currently, only 19% of Thai MPs are female, while there are only four MPs, including Paramee herself, who openly identify as LGBTQ. Due to the gender imbalance in parliament, many female and LGBTQ MPs still face prejudice, discrimination and even verbal harassment. “The Thai parliament is highly male-dominated, because the patriarchy is so ingrained in Thai society,” she explains. “Most MPs are men. Many of them still hold on to conservative, traditional values, believing that men are superior to others. There are so many MPs with this mindset. Not only LGBTQ+ MPs are harassed or disrespected, even female MPs that I’ve talked to are also disrespected.” Paramee recalled accounts from her fellow MPs, both LGBTQ and women, when they encountered discrimination and harassment from other (male) MPs, both verbally and through inappropriate glares. She has helped them with how to respond and how to “educate” other MPs as to why such behaviour is inappropriate, especially in parliament. “Even if an LGBTQ+ individual looks like a straight woman, looks tall, or looks masculine or whatnot, no one has the right to harass them. I insist that you must never harass them, whether it’s verbal or through inappropriate looks,” she says.

  21. From Thai PBS World Commerce Minister Phumtham Wechayachai recently caught the attention of the public when he tasted rice that had been stored for 10 years to prove that it had suffered no degradation in quality and could be sold. Observers see his action as a political ploy to justify the controversial rice-pledging scheme implemented during the Pheu Thai government of Yingluck Shinawatra. The last batch totalling 15,000 tons of Thai Hom Mali rice (premium fragrant rice) has been stored in two warehouses in the northeastern province of Surin. The stock was part of about 18 million tons of white rice amassed by the Yingluck government under the massive rice subsidy scheme over 10 years ago. The Yingluck government initiated the rice-pledging scheme in the harvest season of 2011-12, which aimed to buy every single grain from farmers, promising 15,000 baht per ton of paddy rice at that time, well above the market price of around 10,000 baht per ton. The scheme ended in the harvest season of 2013-14 when the military seized power in May 2014. To finance the scheme, the government borrowed 881.3 billion baht from the state-owned Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC). At the end of last year, the government had repaid the BACC 296.6 billion baht while outstanding debt amounted to 226.3 billion baht, according to the financial statement of the BAAC. The government also had to spend an additional billion baht for warehouse owners to store the rice. “The government was hoping that by stockpiling rice in warehouses, it could push up global prices as Thailand was one of the leading rice exporters. However, global prices defied the Yingluck government’s expectations,” said Viroj Na Ranong, research director at the Thailand Development Research Institute, an independent think-tank. Not only did the global market price not rise, Thailand’s rice exports also fell during those years. The country lost its status as the world’s top rice exporter in 2012 due to the controversial rice scheme, falling to third place behind India and Vietnam. Thailand exported 6.9 million tons of rice in 2012, behind India’s 9.5 million tons, and Vietnam’s 7.8 million tons, according to the Thai Rice Exporters Association. The controversial scheme also resulted in a high cost for the taxpayers. “The cost of the rice subsidy scheme during the Yingluck administration was huge, estimated to be about 600 billion baht,” said Somporn Isvilanonda, a senior fellow at the Knowledge Network Institute of Thailand. Allegations of corruption in the implementation of the rice subsidy scheme was cited as one of the justifications for the 2014 military coup. The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office Holders in 2017 sentenced former commerce minister Boonsong Teriyapirom to 42 years in prison while other senior officials and rice traders involved in corruption also received lengthy prison terms. Yingluck herself was sentenced to five years in prison. She fled the country before the court handed down the verdict. She was convicted for failure to perform her duties in overseeing the scheme that resulted in widespread corruption.
