Wish you would stop telling people to avoid reef safe sunscreen. It’s outlawed in Hawaii. Please respect reef and the science.

The best sunscreen is going to be thing like a hat, a rash guard, actual shade, light weight coverups.  

The best sunscreen is always going to be Shade or fabric.  Wear a hat.  Wear a rash guard.   Cover up with something.   Also sunscreen does kill reefs.  The amounts slathered on by tourists and the number of tourists... it does have an impact.

Maui has coworking spaces available for $100 a month (8 to 5) or $200 a month for 24 hour access.   Cost of living is a bit excessive though and don’t think you can sleep at the office if you pay for 24 hour access.

The chemicals in most sunscreen are harmful for coral reefs and the amounts used in high traffic tourists areas is *not* miniscule. The best form of sunscreen --the most effective form of sunscreen is a physical barrier like a shirt or shade cloth or similar. Wear a rash guard or something similar if you’re going to…

Could’ve stopped at bullet point one.  All the other stuff is just frivolous details.  

I really have to wonder why Hawaii didn’t make the top 10? maybe b/c it’s too expensive to bother with?

But why would you want to?

Why is TSA concerned about cash or illicit substances?   I thought their raison d’etre was to stop terrorism.   Not stop drug traffickers or money laundering.  I thought the whole point of giving up so much privacy was so the plane didn’t blow up.

Ironic as the whole idea of the internet was decentralized network.  So that communications wouldn’t go down if a node dropped off.   

Last time I dressed up for Halloween I bought a cheap ass “Catholic Cardinal” costume from amazon, and a decent cardinal (bird) head mask. Put the two together. I was raised catholic haven’t been excommunicated (yet to my knowledge) although I’m a self-ascribed atheist. Was this offensive? I don’t know... the pun was…

The repetition is kind of the point of some of those though.  “First and foremost”  means this is really fucking important.  First by itself might just mean ordinality.   Also the difference between  “It is.” and “It is what it is.” Is the difference between sounding like someone making a religious pronouncement and a…

Wow.  that’s some linguistic gymnastics to defend an absolutely gross design.

Anyone ever wonder if this is a psyops campaign to eliminate the stupid? Or an elaborate prank by discordians that’s spun out of control?

Utilities are often passed to the renter, Property taxes and a lot of that insurance are usually included in the mortgage.

HOA fees and maintenance are the big ones.

I enjoyed Fight Club but I can see a whole lot of folks walking away with the wrong message.

Also I don’t even know how to respond to this as my taste in movies is far outside the norm. I like movies that provoke a strong visceral reaction in me and cause me to think. I’ve been called a monster for even suggesting…

Here the average house price is up over 40% from last year.  Average price was already around 600k, for a 2000 squarefoot home on about less than a quarter acre of land.    It’s madness.

Not a huge anime fiend, but I was obsessed with serial experiments lain.

If you’re incapable of reading body language and inferring the state of mind of the “stranger” please just don’t.   Look as a certified introvert I can almost guarantee I don’t want you randomly trying to talk to me.

If it’s a half assed vacation and you’re get half assed work done, but you’re not using PTO (unless you extend the trip and use PTO) and work is paying the expenses and your standard wage. How is this not a net positive for the employee?  I mean in no way shape or form would I ever work while using PTO or take less…

Why not both?  People don't behave badly because of some innate magical quality of their being.  It's typically because they have been damaged/hurt.  So have empathy while taking care of yourself.
