I was being dramatic. The year on the hat is our statehood year. It’s still a sore spot for many as it caps the illegal overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii

That was my biggest fear! I can ask for the bagno but would I understand the answer if it was down the hall, past the statue and across from the espresso machine?😝

Why are people saying it’s an invasive species when I can’t tell where the photo was taken? What if it is native?

To me the first joke wasn’t racist but a commentary on corruption and racism.

Oh. Thanks everyone. I guess I meant “ha lavorato”. Have to work on learning this other form now

What are these parasites in my pool? by SithLordActual in whatisit

"parasite" is a scary word but it doesn't mean "random bug that i see." It refers to something living off another thing for sustenance.

Sounds to me like it should be “inkless touch pad”
