  • I’m in complete agreement. This is America though where you can pretty much count on the federal government to make it worse, or at least sting a lot more.

    Honestly, every time San Diego has had a natural disaster, people here have by and large react the way you describe. In my experience Hawaiian residents are the same.



  • How exactly do you “support your family” and “walk off the job”? I don’t see anyone lining up to make sure people affected by the fire (not tourists that might miss out on a vacation) are doing well, or have an income, food, homes, their businesses back, or their lives back. Yeah, there are some charities that are helping, but that’s not the same. As the article states, it’s a double edged sword, but not tripping over snorkeling tourists, or having to go perform for a group of tourists would definitely make the shit residents are going through a lot easier.

    I get it, Hawaii, like many other places, are built largely on tourism, but people need to have a little bit more self awareness and respect for other human beings.

    This is 1000% the entitled “me me me me” culture.




  • Maybe look for peer to peer type setups. Iirc Babel has one. Basically you’re just chatting with someone else. Iirc they also have a live class thing, which might be good too.

    Personally I’m using Duolingo for Spanish, along with watching movies/shows in Spanish (still at kid level so cartoons mostly) and a site (who’s name is escaping me right now) that has a ton of videos that range from very simple to much more complex.


  • So, like 2016 DNC wants to keep the status quo, and won’t bend at all. At least this time the actual issue isn’t on the same ticket, and they can’t force the ticket. I honestly don’t think stein was their problem. Bernie was. And Clinton (she is wildly disliked by MANY) herself. But it was the DNC treatment of Bernie that cost them, not the third party ticket votes. At least imo.

    Personally I’m excited to see people running, who share my views, more than any “mainstream” candidate ever has.






  • So, if I can’t vote, that means I can stop paying for all the shit I don’t use, that’s specifically for kids, right? No more payments to help schools, after school programs, meal programs. Hell yeah, my taxes just got quite a bit cheaper.

    To clarify, I’m totally fine paying for those things, as they help lift society up (when government doesn’t steal the obey and give it to the Uber rich/giant corporations). It just don’t think that fuck face realizes what all us “childless losers” do for them.
