No - is it necessary to see a video before jumping to a conclusion?

People form conclusions every day, about what may, or may not, have happened.

So I guess it’s safe to assume the exception is when it comes to incidents that happen in Thailand.

What's the difference between a person's opinion and that same person's conclusion? Anyone with an AI account to help me out here?

Does one let one's conclusions form one's opinions or, is it the opinion that creates the conclusion.

And are facts required, or are they optional?

From 1999 to 2017, the Landmine Monitor has recorded over 120,000 casualties from mines, IEDs and explosive remnants of war; it estimates that another 1,000 per year go unrecorded. The estimate for all time is over half a million. In 2017, at least 2,793 were killed and 4,431 injured. 87% of the casualties were civilians and 47% were children (less than 18 years old). The largest numbers of casualties were in Afghanistan (2,300), Syria (1,906), and Ukraine (429).

Someone sounds like a born-again hippie from the left coast. Not mentioning any names, of course.

Not mentioning any names but as certain people age they forget things, one example is names.

Space Junk
In fact, there are an estimated 500,000 or so smaller orbital debris (between one and 10 centimeters in diameter) and about 21,000 larger bits (larger than 10 centimeters) spinning around Earth right now, according to NASA’s Orbital Debris Program Office.

"And as scientists recently discovered, Great Frigatebirds can sleep in 10-second bursts while remaining airborne for up to two months. But when it comes to uninterrupted flight, the Alpine Swift has held the record for the longest single flight of any avian species at 200 days."

"No longer: Now there’s a new record holder, and this bird absolutely obliterated the Alpine's previous record. According to new research, Common Swifts can stay in the air for up to 10 months without stopping. Yes, 10 months. While scientists have long suspected that the bird might be capable of such a staggering achievement, they only recently had the tools to prove it."

KFC is also the favorite and very common "Christmas Dinner" in Japan.

Yuck. KFC is better in Thailand than in Canada, but you can't seem to order a thigh with a leg. You have to take a dry breast as your second choice. The portions are larger here too. But that means more batter, salt, fat et al. Maybe the Japanese version is tastier and healthier.

They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were “piss poor.”
