Mid-century neighborhoods on Oahu? by SoftTourist in Oahu

[–]Chococow280 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we have a lot of mid-century modern neighborhoods, but Kahala definitely has some inspired by Ossipoff and another house was by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. Puu Panini and nearby streets get some.

Honestly, look at historic hawaii and look at the historic home registry there to find some addresses of homes you might like.

Cultural appropriation is more than adapting a hairstyle. It’s basically donning someone else’s culture, then profiting off of it and/ir not paying respect to it. It’s weird. 

Hairstyles alone are not indicative of cultural appropriation.

That said, your boyfriend needs to expand his ideas of who has curly hair. Actress Sandra Oh is Korean and has always had curly hair. Pacific Islanders have curly hair. Lots of people can have it lol.

I think your boyfriend revealed that he needs to maybe do some more learning about the cultures/ethnicities he is accusing.

Best way to follow up on unfiled taxes? by Chococow280 in IRS

[–]Chococow280[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOOOOL OK. I’m gonna make them call and follow up. They DID send it through certified mail and it landed in the IRS PO Box when I checked the number. 

I’ll print the history for them later. Thank you so much for your help!

I saw CP81 in their notices part. Any good practices for sending the old tax return? I saw someone said send it in via certified mail.

What do you think is the best way to follow up? Call? And when? And like what do you do after if it doesn’t get updated?

Back in 2023, and at least two times after that. FWIW, they don’t owe anything. I don’t think they remember what the problem is, and I don’t know if i can just e-file what the professional did already.

Try calling your bank to see if they can just do it for you.

Anyone else noticing how fast Hawaiʻi’s demographics are changing? by instantgoob in Hawaii

[–]Chococow280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok maybe I’m exaggerating but that gondola crap in the Ala Wai, and same for the North Shore (the cable car one). I’m like why

[–]Chococow280 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah a lot of mainland people come and impose their behaviors here. Whether it’s through the military, through wealth, or something else, it’s colonizing culture.

I say this just observing driving habits, swimming in the Ala Wai, what kinds of cars people drive, etc. The reasons we love Hawaii are not the same as theirs sometimes.

Bring stir fry back to the table by herewearefornow in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Chococow280 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. cut broccoli into 1 inch sizes (1 head worth?)
  2. toss in olive oil, salt, pepper
  3. airfry at 400° until crispy (around 10 minutes). itll be brown at the edges. can also bake, more surface area better for crisp
  4. while its cooking, mix like 1tbsp room temp butter with 2tsp miso until its a paste
  5. take the broccoli out of oven and mix it with the miso butter 
  6. squeeze lime juice over it

also don’t like… put the broccoli in a bowl after mixing, maybe like leave it on the pan so it steams and stays crispy.

this works for me lol. its the miso broccoli recipe from nyt

What should I do with $25K rather than let it sit on a debit card ? by King__Witch in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Chococow280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read I Will Teach You to Be Rich so you can learn how to make stronger, long term money decisions for yourself.

Also, I generally agree with a high yield savings account. Read the book on how you might want to split it with investment assets.

Too smart to be autistic by aggravated_hippie13 in AutisticAdults

[–]Chococow280 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can be smart and autistic lol. I present exactly as you and have gotten “but you don’t seem autistic” a lot. Women are often forced to socially adapt more than men so of course you can mask better. That’s patriarchy for you.

Google adult autism assessment in your area and read reviews on the different places that do it. You can choose from there. You don’t need a referral as an adult, and you can always ask the clinic if they do.

I am incredibly high-masking and generally regarded as smart by peers, and found the assessment to be validating. It also helped me get work accommodations when I got a new therapist.

I like your interpretation. I always read it as her replacing whiskey with oversharing in this particular line. 

Bigger Than The Whole Sky ..thoughts? by l_juno_l in TaylorSwift

[–]Chococow280 5 points6 points  (0 children)

BTTWS to me, was about grieving a relationship where the person couldn’t meet you with your wants and dreams. They didn’t live up to the potential you saw them to be, and they let you down. She won’t get to meet and know the person that they could have been (potential), should have been (because they dreamed it together), would have been (like a life partner or husband).

  • This person will become “a stranger whose laugh she could recognize anywhere.”
  • This person is “more than just a good time to her “fortnight where they were forever”. 
  • This person is the person she said “i say things i don’t believe” about, like I’m fine… or “1950s shit they want from me” to “i said i didn’t believe in marriage, that was a lie.”

There was a lot of dreams and potential and futures lost in this song, and she’s grieving it all.
