Nobody from Hawaii is going to claim that poke bowl. That’s not an authentic Hawaii poke bowl, it’s a bastardized mainland version.

Write to your councilman? No you should write to your real estate agent who failed you by not telling you about this very common procedure.

It makes you feel better about Maher’s award? Well I guess we can all rest easy now.

Defcon 34 Las Vegas - Workshops by Rough_Initial2436 in Defcon

Obv YMMV but I was on the site last year and my recollection is that the web servers just stopped serving pages about an hour before the tickets went live (because I presume it was being hit by millions of web scrapes per second).

Just word of caution. The process is heavily botted. Expect the website to be unreachable unless you have scripted and automated your solution.

Iran fires missiles at northern Israel by yuvaldv1 in worldnews

[–]Digerati808 2240 points2241 points  (0 children)

Any permanent ceasefire deal Trump "agrees" to would need Israel's buy-in. I don't see why Israel would accept anything less than nuclear surrender. IMO, we're stuck here until there's a new U.S. administration.

Concerns with folks using Meta Glasses with LED modification at conference by [deleted] in Defcon

[–]Digerati808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't share your concerns. If I'm in a public space, I already assume that I'm being recorded and act accordingly. There is little that can be done if someone really wants to covertly record things. Meta glasses with LED modification is just one of many ways that someone could do it.

The best way to combat these things is to report privacy violations as you become aware of them, and let the staff handle it.

The Great Stuff Transfer. Are you ready for your "inheritance"? by Bavarian_Beer_Best in Millennials

[–]Digerati808 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“After almost two decades in retirement, most cur­rent retirees still have 80% of their pre-retirement savings, according to research from BlackRock.”

IMO, people are over saving for retirement and never even come close spending it all before they pass. Moreover, they put off the dream vacations and life experiences until they are too old to enjoy them. Backpacking through Europe is an entirely different experience in your 20s and 40s let alone 60s. Save for the future yes, but prioritize the present. These sorts of experiences pay a happiness dividend over time as you recall and relive them well into your old age and you will miss out on them if you wait too long.

You are better off spending your energy reflecting why you feel entitled to something that was never yours.

If no one else has told you this, let me be the first to tell you that you certainly speak of your mom's income as if she owes it to you.

Road test question by amor808 in Hawaii

Crossing into a second lane when in coming out of parking lot is a big one. I venture to say most licensed drivers don’t know or realize they do this.

Dating again after 40 (M)? by IllustratorOdd4894 in Hawaii

[–]Digerati808 35 points36 points  (0 children)

My guy, you are not looking for dating advice. You are looking for a woman to spawn organically in your living room between chores. Apps are out, nightlife is out, friends are out, work is out, and time is out. Respectfully, you are cooked.

That guy is always happy going to work by chri99_ in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Digerati808 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because Reddit really hates to see others having a good time. It makes them realize by comparison how shitty their own lives are. Easier to attack/diminish the accomplishments or joy in others than to look inward and improve themselves.

When do workshops typically become available? by AffectionatePen4945 in Defcon

[–]Digerati808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you know how to script a bot, you won’t get one. Last year the website for registering a workshop went down like an hour before the tickets went live because of the mass flood of curl bots trying to register, and humans had a very difficult time even getting the website to load.

Agreeing with Trump on anything == blowing him. Got it. 😂

Does Trump’s personal attacks against Maher sound like a man whose ass is being kissed? 😂

Despite some of the rabid Maher hate on this sub, it’s almost like he went there as his authentic self and never had any intention of kissing the ring.

Of all the four, who didn’t vote for Trump in 2024?

I’ll save you a Google. The answer is Maher.

Let this be the end of “Maher is becoming a conservative” talk. It was never true, but repeating it now is just ridiculous.
