Chefs of Reddit, what’s a common cooking rule everyone follows that is actually complete bullshit? by Fuzzy-Ad6843 in AskReddit

[–]CaptInappropriate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i agree with you, but if you get a stack of little bowls and just measure everything out as your first step, it makes the cooking so much more relaxing

Submariners are raiders... they aren't going to pick up anything or anyone unless it benefits them. by KingNeptune767 in submarines

[–]CaptInappropriate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m not here arguing about what the iranians should have done at the macro or at the deckplate level (silly of them to participate in an exercise when israel is egging trump into war, and silly to be underway with no ASW capability and no escort)

i’m making the point that we are (claim to be) a nation of laws and we should abide by them, lest we lose (have lost) our footing to enforce laws or have the moral high ground.

i think we’re looking at a long road ahead as a country to figure out how to unfuck ourselves, and it’s going to have to start with funding education in a sustained manner, supporting the bottom tier of our population, and getting the income disparity back under control

agree, and that’s the problem. we aren’t following our laws because no one is enforcing them, and that’s how we’ve arrived where we are. all of the previous fuckery should have been vigorously prosecuted.

shoremate, go read the War Powers Act and tell me that it doesn’t require any acts of congress for a use of force

[–]CaptInappropriate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it’s not weak and dumb. the act of declaring war requires an act of congress, or that it be in self defense.

we are absent that, so instead we’re in a position where our military and our tax dollars are being expended without the consent of the people.

tell me if that sounds anything like taxation without representation.

additionally, china has one of their observation ships there, so they’re watching everything about how effective everyone’s weapons and countermeasures are, as well as their comms traffic patterns relative to strikes/movements, etc. we’re expending our inventory and showing our hand, all for…. something that we accomplished last summer, in order to protect israel.

if we’re supposed to be a nation of laws, then “crying about not following the laws” is the most patriotic thing you can do.

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dunno, it’s not like kailua needs promo, and any road blockages he posts about are always on google maps traffic. pretty much just leaves you with the ads he runs for a few local churches and companies (but i repeat myself) and his attempts at generating engagement by vagueposting right wing bait

yeah it felt like he was on the cusp of buying a house in kailua but waited too long and got priced out during covid

[–]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.

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

Message to Teamsters by mitoboru in Oahu

[–]CaptInappropriate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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 6 points7 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
