A lesser known multiplayer game that’s less co-op and more competitive fun is ultimate chicken horse. It’s a super silly game where everyone compete platform style to reach the end of a stage, but each round everyone places another trap. It can get pretty funny pretty quick!

Recommend using the in game cheat to unlock all stages so there’s more variety right away

Probably meant to say “bolted”

Clearly you didn’t even read anything i wrote. I’ll still give you the courtesy of a thought out reply, knowing you won’t do the same, though i am wondering if I’m talking to a bot

You’re not providing any facts or information, just stating an uninformed opinion. It’s a very disingenuous take, and is not useful in any way shape or form. It’s actually somewhat dangerous, and also belittles people of other cultures. I don’t know why you think you’re trying to act like a white knight for people you consider to be foreigners, but they’re actually better off than you think they are. I’m guessing you must think you’re better than everyone else. I am curious which YouTube video you saw that made you think you know so much about global disposable income levels per capita, though at this point i think you’re just making things up as you go.

I’ve provided you with actual information and your response is no everyone else is wrong. Clearly you prefer taking bad faith arguments with strangers for fun. I hope you find out one day why this is the wrong way to behave

You also have no idea where i live, what i do, who i am, where I’ve been. I promise you that all your assumptions are wrong.

As i wrote this out i realized that i am probably talking to a bot

According to some basic research, it looks like Thailand is actually in the top 10 for least expensive country to travel to.

If the claim is that vacationing anywhere is too expensive, then the argument is a little pedantic. That sounds like the perspective of someone who just saw a YouTube video comparing income by country, and now thinks they fully understand global poverty differences.

If the claim is that it really is too expensive to travel to Thailand specifically, it is simply incorrect. Thailand is one of absolute cheapest countries to travel to “globally.” Anyone in any country with enough money (and freedom of movement) for a vacation can travel to Thailand. Contrary to popular belief, this is based on comparative income, not global income. This means a lot of people can actually afford to travel to Thailand if they chose to. And, again, the person in question flew from Taiwan. Very cheap travel. (As a side note, this may be shocking, but some people take vacations when they cannot afford to.)

On average, a person in the USA who is homeless earns less than 50,000 per year. While, yes, 50k is a lot of money “globally,” someone earning that much money in the USA may not be able to afford a home in their own country. That’s why these kinds of comparisons are not helpful. You might as well call anyone who has ever lived or died “oxygen rich” because, universally speaking, dead or alive they have good oxygen levels compared to entire planets with no oxygen. It’s a useless statement.

One final thought is paid vacation days. The USA is at the bottom globally of mandatory paid vacation days. Countries that may surprise you will actually pay you your salary while you travel for vacation, and you better believe they do travel.

So, globally speaking, no you don’t.

I found a little bit more info just for your awareness. It looks like she was studying at University in Spain, and was on a student exchange program living in Taiwan. She took a holiday trip from Taiwan, which a quick google search suggests can be as cheap as $80 in off season (i.e right now).

I don’t think it’s fair to assume she was rich even by global standards. The average individual or family can absolutely save money for an $80 flight for a weekend vacation. According to Statista, the global average take home (net income) is equal to $8700 per year. An $80 plane ticket would be a little less than 1% of said income. That is a substantial amount of money for a vacation for some people, but still not an insurmountable amount to save up for. Considering this, it’s more likely that she was enticed to take a weekend vacation by the low cost flight (but of course i don’t know if that is actually what happened).

As a side note, it is completely disingenuous to classify someone who might possibly be living in poverty in one country (under 14,580 per year in the USA, or 9535 euros in Spain, for example), of being rich on a global scale. Those kinds of comparisons are not helpful, as you cannot necessarily use your 14580 in the USA in a country where that income would be considered high income (in thailand, $20,000 per year is high income. Doesn’t quite overlap, but it’s surprisingly close). Everything costs more in a high income country, including the cost of emigrating from that country. A comparably lower income earner in thailand might be considered a middle class earner and be able to enjoy more vacations and more leisure than most Americans.

I will agree that elephant related tourism is a huge problem, but that’s a different discussion entirely.

After a long coffee journey, i gave my keurig away for free after i landed on my chemex. Absolutely love it! Unfortunately my 12 cup broke in the washing machine after 8 years or so :( i just bought a new one and I’m unsurprisingly still very happy with it.

Even more specifically than that, it’s just telling you tomorrow that 16m with a preventable health issue will die, not when or how.

Not correcting you, just adding a little clarification for how i read it

Again, that’s added context. I don’t know how feeling like a man is stopping a women from anything. I don’t think that’s a necessary component of the statement at all, though i appreciate the reply

Whatever makes them happy I guess?

I think that’s one possible explanation, but it’s vague enough that it could be other things too.

I’m not sure how i feel about the post altogether. I mean, i understand that toxic masculinity is bad, but this post needs some assumptions and context to make me want to side with it. For example, if I saw some guy just kinda minding his business doing silly guy stuff and the context was he wants to “feel like a man,” i don’t think i would be offended or concerned?

r/justguysbeingdudes comes to mind

I was thinking this as well, add in some bands (album suggestions in parens) like epica (holographic principle), kamelot (epica/black halo), Symphony x (divine wings of tragedy), and even a band like battle beast (circus of doom) or unleash the archers (apex) and i think op will have a good time

That’s interesting, guess i wasn’t tracking that closely enough. Thank you!

Ah, wasn’t aware, thanks!

I thought it was India and South Africa, not Iran and Saudi Arabia

I did a quick Google search, and I’m guessing miso is the ulcer treatment misoprostol that you shouldn’t take during pregnancy. A d and c is a dilation and cutterage, an invasive surgical procedure that removes something from the uterus. In this instance the something was a nonviable pregnancy that went awry from possibly the medication (or other factors).

Admittedly i was also confused about miso, and immediately thought soup? I was extremely incorrect

Yes

I hope you are able to outrun it one day. Or even perhaps out smart it. Idk, I’ve never been on a hunt. I assume those would be ways to survive.

Good point, i totally misunderstood the “picture this” lead in. Yeah it’s a completely feasible situation though it does seem extreme.

I don’t know how accurate this is. Every time i try googling this, i get multiple help forums (brand website, Microsoft help, reddit discussions) for how to troubleshoot, with no ads for new laptops. While i typically provide a more specific search (e.g. my laptop brand and model won’t boot), i tried googling “my laptop won’t turn on” and received similar, albeit less specific, suggestions.

I wonder if the original poster often searches for laptop prices to find deals and maybe it defaulted to that?
