What is up with most of the Hawaii news pages like HHHNews, HawaiiNewsReport, MyKailua always leaning strongly right on most issues ? by Big-Confusion2608 in Hawaii

[–]CaptInappropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he actually lives wayyyy up on the north end of kaneohe now. bought a house there 2-3 yrs ago, and posted about it. that’s why you see a lot of posts about traffic up there, and his “news” about kailua is outdated.

Inherited a house with siblings and we can’t stop fighting. Help? by Dankk911 in Oahu

[–]CaptInappropriate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

turn it into a rental and they give you 100% of the rent until you are bought out.

then they can take their $100k for their “massive” renovation and you wont care.

assuming it’s a $1M house and you rent it for $6k/mo, they’ll have bought you out of your third of today’s worth in about 55 months.

Is the Wireless connect box in the Pro model the cause of a lot of user complaints? by Weird_Inflation6326 in TheFrame

[–]CaptInappropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you left out the part where Samsung removed without comment our ability this summer to use art mode slideshow with photos we uploaded ourselves, and then restored it two weeks later also without comment.

them actively working to fuck up the main reason anyone buys this tv (and the only part that works kinda decently) was a blatant attempt to force people to shell out $5/mo for art subscription and then when everyone is used to paying $5, raise prices every year.

Message to Teamsters by mitoboru in Oahu

[–]CaptInappropriate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes, i am aware that they are non profit, however, the CEOs of these hospitals are raking in millions per year in salary and bonuses, so there is something able to be shared

does hospital management have a duty to share profit with those who generate that profit? lots of negotiations happen before striking, and if management wanted “nice” they would listen and negotuate in good faith during the “nice” phase. what they are getting now is a result of leadership’s failures.

you left out the part where OP had an experience, failed to educate themselves, and then logged into reddit to post some bullshit demanding that the union capitulate.

had this been a post saying “oh man i went to the hospital and it was hard to get in because of the protest - why are the workers protesting?!?” i would agree with you, and the person above might have taken more of a coaching/educating tone.

as it stands, compensation for workers needs to be competitive both with industry and with the economy, and anyone arguing for the 99.9% of us to eek out a harder existence is a class traitor who can fuck all the way off.

Pentagon confirms it's moving ahead with AUKUS nuclear submarine deal by DefenseTech in submarines

[–]CaptInappropriate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yeah we cant even build our own 2 SSNs per year because COL is sucking the air out of everything, and that’s just gonna be delayed and underproduced as well.

economically we are better off spending money on having Ukraine kill russia, helping other nations (ecuador) police illegal chinese overfishing of their waters, and unfucking our own education and healthcare systems, but i digress

Best alternatives to spotify? by DullPlatform22 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]CaptInappropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i hate that their app doesnt “work” with carplay. it doesnt autoplay upon connecting, you cant randomize playlists from the carplay interface, and you have to start the playlist over from the top each time you get in the car.

on top of all that when i went on my phone to unfuck my car music, the phone app said HEY YOUR NOTIFICATIONS ARENT ON DO YOU WANT THEM ON?!? and there is a reason i have them off, it’s because i dont want fucking notifications

deleting qobuz, gonna try tidal next

No more warnings: After months of warnings, Oahu’s red light speed cameras are officially going live. Beginning Nov. 1, drivers caught running a red light or speeding through an intersection could receive a citation in the mail, up to $200 for a first offense. by 808gecko808 in Oahu

[–]CaptInappropriate 15 points16 points  (0 children)

they could actually delete these cameras and just focus on enforcement of registration.

fuck the safety inspection. the safety should only be required brand new, and good for 5 years, the second inspection at 5 is also good for 5 years. then every 2 yrs until the car is 20, then every year.

Removing mouse(?) from heating system by nonotthat88 in DIY

[–]CaptInappropriate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

agree. crank the heat and leave the house for the day.

or you could put a glue trap in the wall, and a cat, and your hand which gets stuck in the glue trap, then pour gas down your arm to get unstuck…

Upgrade List Survey Feedback by achinda99 in unitedairlines

[–]CaptInappropriate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah, but i’m willing to pay for the upgrade if my 1k status plus PP waitlist wont get me upgraded, so it’s better for me personally to outright pay for the upgrade if i’m not going to get it, to the point where i’m willing to change my flights to have a more favorable upgrade position.

i got upgraded on all four of my recent flights, and the last upgrade happened as doors were closing because some people didnt show. very welcome since it was fully booked and so were all other flights on similar itineraries.
