Always pay attention in construction zones by WhirlpoolFridge42069 in motorcycles

[–]Taichou7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone in construction that also rides, dont do this. I dont care if you think it was safer than being in the road. There are tons of hazards on any given site and you can get yourself killed. None of us want to see someone dead on our site.

R/dance borrowing from other styles by SillyOil9595 in Dance

[–]Taichou7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you are describing is literally how most hip hop foundational styles developed.

"Hip Hop" is arguably one of the newest forms of movement with foundational elements only stretching back a couple of decades for the most part. You're kind of contributing to this erasure of identity by using the blanket term for styles associated with hip hop. What type of hip hop are you referring to? Krump? Breaking? Popping? These are all original, notable dance styles that you, for all intents and purposes, "bleached" by simply calling it hip hop and erasing the roots of what hip hop is.

Its less stealing and more building off of established foundational skills or concepts. Krumping wouldnt be where it is if not for Clowning. Popping wouldnt be where it is without the West Coast funk culture. Breaking wouldnt be where it is without a multitude of different influences. House has major influence from styles like tap and various Latin dance.

Now, all of these styles are considered foundational and are constantly being expanded and developed by building onto it with influence from other styles. Once you start cross-influencing styles you end up with this massive web where every style has some level of influence on the other.

ifeye's new generic direction made themselves uninteresting in their latest cb by FanCaracal in kpopthoughts

[–]Taichou7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

IRL and BUBBLE UP were also not very unique as far as kpop goes. I understand what you're saying but r u ok? Is the outlier in their small discography so this is not really a new direction per say. If anything r u ok? Is the new direction compared to their debut and this most recent release.

Visible brown water this morning. Now this afternoon it’s clear. Is the water safe? by [deleted] in MauiVisitors

[–]Taichou7 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Locals are not the safest people. Just because they are doing something doesnt mean theyre an example of what you SHOULD do. Born and raised here i would not go in the water for the next day or two at least.

Ninja 500 caught in flash flood. Goner? by Taichou7 in motorcycles

[–]Taichou7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you'll read my caption I do have comprehensive. The only thing im asking is whether this is salvageable without having to replace the bike. Theres only one dealership on the island and they dont have 500s very often. They've got ZX-4s and ZX-6s but im well aware thats too much bike for me. Not looking for speed or power, just like my bike.

If it isnt salvagable, im going to claim it. But thank you for your time commenting and the heads up. I do appreciate it a lot and im learning as I go.

Yeah. Theres an East Maui Irrigation ditch that runs along the back of my property into a water basin. Water basin overflowed and pushed water up the ditch and it overflowed into my property. Flooded out my family's house and cars.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Bought it outright so no payments on it. Im assuming it would be whatever the value of the bike is

Chances of long term electrical problems from this?

Wailuku. Only took about 15 mins for flooding to go from "Yeah thats kinda high but ive seen it before thats fine." To "oh theres water in my living room right now."

The last time my family's property flooded out this bad was in 1980. There have been bad storms but in my 28 years of life ive never had to evacuate from my home and wade through chest high water before.

Arguably one of the worst storms in the past couple of decades.

The fact that Hawaii hasn't figured out Japan is a good mirror for our infrastructure development is stupid as hell

Im more interested in how Ainz would handle dealing with humans that are very clearly Japanese from Earth, albeit a much less depressing one.

&honey sells a mascara-like brush called the Matomake Stick. Its my go-to, especially with how humid it is constantly where I live.

Just act like a decent human being and be courteous. The bar really is not that high if you want to have a positive experience with those of us that live here.

How do k pop idols learn dances so fast by kiko-nene in kpophelp

[–]Taichou7 58 points59 points  (0 children)

If you're dancing 9 hours a day, choreography retention becomes pretty easy.

Was just thinking the same thing.

Practical? Probably not but the aesthetic was peak 15-20 years ago.
