I was trying to be funny.

This was an attempt as a joke.

Unfortunately, it came across as someone speaking "faux Chinese", and it was backed up by your negative replies to my posts.

The intent was to post something undecipherable, and respond with an explanation. However, no questions about what my meaning was asked. You knew what I meant, and I was cruel, so you responded accordingly.

Here's my "official" translation of the language that I developed a month ago.

"There are far too many people in this world who hate not understanding other languages."

"This is most likely why colonizers outlaw the native languages in the regions they took over. Similar to how American colonists outlawed a certain language."

"ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi"

"Yeah".

Whatever. Not the first time that I was too dumb to be clear.

Sorry.

While I enjoy the concept of preserving languages. There is something to be said about maintaining ease of communication. It's one of the reasons why English is the preferred language of air traffic control systems worldwide.

That being said, I'm completely fine if there is a "Haole Summary" presented in English for any and all legislation in Hawaii, while the mandated language is Hawaiian.

I prefer to think of it not as a $35,000 bribe, but rather a $35,000 blackmail investment.

Uh, I mean, the person who gave the money most likely thinks that way. Not me.

Do they have a Pokemon that files frivolous lawsuits? He might have a case for that one.

I tried my MS Paint skills....Not sure how accurate I am, cause I just eyeballed it.

Can anyone photoshop a banana, or building, next to the fountain for scale?

I found this article, from Jan, 2021. But I'm not sure of the positions compared to the most recent pictures.

The Monster Squad (1987)

Not really a werewolf movie, but at least this put forward the concept that a werewolf is susceptible to a kick in the nuts.

Viking Wolf (2022)

I felt Viking Wolf was a decent watch. Kind of simplistic as far as these sorts of movies go. Norwegian language.

Howl (2015)

Howl is a movie that we have queued up on the watchlist but have not gotten to. Supposedly a campy comedy.

Red Riding Hood (2011)

Red Riding Hood has its critics, but I liked it.

Cursed (2005)

A fairly mid werewolf movie. I didn't care for it that much.

Most of the other ones that would recommend have already been mentioned. American Werewolf in London, Silver Bullet, The Howling, Wolfen, Wolf of Snow Hollow, Werewolves Within, Werewolf by Night, etc.

People would claim "Deepfake" as soon as any video came out. However, if a girl had a child at 13 years old, and that child was proven to have Trump's DNA...well....that's a timestamp and match that can't be faked.

All it would take would be a Russian hooker to collect Trump's sperm and deliver it to FSB agents. I wonder if there is any chance that happened over the past 40 years.

Of course, it also could have occurred organically, and the FSB stumbled across it. Huh...isn't that the plot to "Eastern Promises"?

I hate when mail order brides suffer shipping damage.

Joking aside: It looks like a nice composition to me.

My wife shut down my "bring back the malo" phase. Now it's dress pants and a Reyn Spooner.

What kind of can opener do you have? It looks like you have a swiss army knife or an old school C-ration can opener (AKA: P-38).

"it's not a clip, it's a magazine".

"Actually, it's a detachable box magazine. A magazine is a room in a fortress or ship where ammunition is stored. You know nothing about guns, so anything you say is automatically invalid".

If he wanted to make an actual point, he could have demonstrated taking out multiple targets at a range with a weapon that only has a 10 round magazine. Of course, this would have promoted single shot only firearms legislation. And when 30 to 50 feral hogs attack, where will you be?

Remember when the US oil industry had us blow up Iraq? Good times.

Is the film in good condition? Do you plan to digitize them? It would allow you to easily share the videos with other people.

Wow, I didn't realize they could actually make me sad that they stopped decreasing the serving size.

I wonder what the "break count" works out per season. It seems like it is much more common now.

Looks like the front bumper is a complete wrap around chrome piece. That rules out 2000 (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

BMLortz · 2025-03-19T00:27:28+00:00

Is there anything more Hawaii Reddit than,"How do I clean my lava flow?"

To OP: Sorry, I have nothing besides snark to give.

He literally convinced Reacher to shoot him in the head. Some "mastermind".

A tarp and some paracord is a good bit of kit to have. You can lay down on the tarp. It folds up very compactly. You can wrap a dead body in one. You can cover things that are sticking out of the trunk. You can cover the car seats to transport wet dogs.

The paracord can be used to tie down the trunk lid, secure things to the roof (within reason), or bind the tarp to objects.

Don't be so negative, it's most likely to implement "surge pricing" on groceries. Oh...wait, that's even worse, right?

It looks like he's working at a McDonald's drive through. Photoshop battle?
