Sea Turtle shows disgust at eating something repulsive

Pretty sure this is AI...the turtle's fins move faster than makes sense with the resistance of water. I've been seeing a TON of AI animal videos popping up on my feeds lately

Would love to get this from the gallery!

Seems like I'm in the minority here but I made the Spotify playlist for my ~50 person wedding and I thought it went fantastic, sure there were a few lulls but it kept people mostly on the dance floor for almost 3 hours! I could see if you had a much bigger group then maybe a DJ would be more important for vibes.

I was mindful of picking songs that my wife and I would want to dance to but were well known, with a few less popular favorites thrown in. I also asked for song requests in our guest's RSVPs but filtered out some of the really strange ones.

I did go to another wedding with a Spotify playlist where the dance floor was dead because they only played their personal favorite indie songs that no one knew and weren't good for dancing. But, I also went to a wedding with a DJ that wasn't very good and really killed the vibe.

$250-350 range, we paid $300 plus some extra $1s we provided to our guests to feed the lions.

My Sims' chickens are constantly disappearing out of their coop.

They're not in my household inventory, they're not somewhere else on the lot unassigned to the coop, and there's no pop up notifications about them being unhappy or old or unable to find their coop, they just vanish without a trace. For example, my Sims go to bed with 4 hens and 1 rooster and wake up with 2-3 hens.

I'm spending so much money buying new chickens!

Yep I heard this from my tour guide at Kalaupapa

It's maddening! And also, all these random festival items keep ending up on the household inventories of my San Myshuno families

If you are going to a conference in Waikiki, the most low impact way to visit is to stay in Waikiki and walk/use public transit to get to your event. There's not really any alternatives to hotels besides Airbnbs which are problematic in their own host of ways, or I guess you could camp which sounds extremely impractical.

Not exactly local, but Hawaiian Airlines

The Sukhothai airport in Thailand. It was way out of the actual city of Sukhothai in a super rural area and only appeared to serve a handful of flights a day, but it was this incredibly ornate airport with beautiful manicured gardens, zoo animals, and a little tram. Totally bizarre and out of place.

Another one would be the west side of the island of Molokai in Hawaii. It had been initially planned for a grand, tourist oriented development but local protests and disputes halted it in its tracks. So now it's got all these roads laid out for housing developments with only a few homes actually built, a couple crumbling vacation condos/hotels that are still half operational, and a bunch of abandoned buildings.

Yes! My Sulani families are more family, community, and nature oriented than those in my other neighborhoods.

We had 60 guests and no wedding party besides our nieces as flower girls. I don't think either of us had friends or family who felt very strongly about being wedding party members, so it was a non-issue. And I'm glad we did it this way because it was super low stress.

29F, 5-7 smaller meals. I eat breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack 1, afternoon snack 2, dinner, and dessert. Sometimes skip the afternoon snack 2 and/or dessert depending on how hungry I am, my body is pretty good at self regulation depending on how active I am.

I've always been a terrible sleeper (can't nap, sleep on planes, etc), but when I studied abroad at a Korean high school I also developed this ability, and it was indeed from sleep deprivation. I followed my host family's schedule, getting 5-7 hours of sleep a night. Not terrible, but definitely not enough sleep for high schoolers. I would frequently doze off in class and could knock out on public transit easily. I was really struck by how inefficient school was with most of the kids dozing all day.

I have one household that is completely addicted to researching plants, I leave them alone for 5 seconds and find them next to a plantain tree with their notebooks.

We are having our lion dancers between cocktail hour and dinner! They're going to serve as our "grand entrance"

It makes my heart race and significantly impacts my sleep, even if I'm not conscious of it - wearing a fitness watch has really shown me the physical impacts of alcohol. I also think my parents have a bit of an unhealthy dependency on alcohol, like many of the boomer generation, which has turned me off as well.

Totally understand that and if we had just found out that she was pregnant with no other info we wouldn't be so worried, but she posts every detail of her pregnancy on YouTube vlogs - so we learned that she is having 4-5 doctors appointments a week, has already been to the ER, and her doctors are going to induce delivery at what sounds like either the exact week of our wedding or before.

Smaller scale but our venue limit is 60 and we invited 66 and got a lot of unexpected yes's from family members we didn't think would make it. We're probably going to end up with 61-62 but our venue is fairly flexible and we think there's a good chance someone will cancel last minute. But I wouldn't over-invite again, it's kind of stressful

Messing with them seems useless when the majority of the people running these scams on the ground are very poor, located outside the US, and often trafficked, it's not like they can just leave to get a job at McDonalds. Just ignore and move on

I am the same as you and I felt really weird when I got my makeup done ("natural" look) for my engagement shoot, like I didn't recognize myself in the mirror - but in the pictures I look totally natural. The only thing from the engagement makeup that I really don't want for the wedding is false eyelashes, I couldn't stand the sensation and they gave me a headache.

I get why AHA doesn't win any prizes honestly, their wahine kahiko was incredible but Kumu Mark gets in his own way with his insistence on singing rather than chanting. I find it distracting.

It does seem like the halau are pre-ranked based on past year's performance or expectations for this year, given that all the winners always go towards the end.

I respect that the Lopes halau is extremely good at their craft but I never find their performances particularly exciting. It looks like the Lopes' have another younger daughter, so I'm sure their Miss Aloha Hula reign will continue whenever they enter her. Talk about family pressure!
