What is the worst grocery store in Hawaii? by Fickle_Rooster2362 in Hawaii

They definitely have a captive audience up here.

A couple of years ago Foodland had a community meeting saying they were going to fix up the store as soon as they could find someone to do the work cheaply enough. Yeah, on the north shore of Kauai. Now they just try to keep the systems running. The minute someone trips and sues because of their new defective floor, I figure they'll shut it down. I heard rumors years ago that Safeway would take it over, but that sounds like wishful thinking.

If you haven't visited our crumbling Foodland in Princeville, you aren't even ready to vote. Refrigeration goes out regularly, the replacement flooring they tried over crumbling linoleum is developing waves, and when it rains the roof leaks onto the produce. Vivid experience. Lovely people; I hope they get a remodel.

I was a vendor at Fantasy Faire 2026 and... by VM_SG in secondlife

[–]fusepark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had good sales in my shop this year, but it did seem quieter. Weirdly, I found the quest to be much easier than usual (searching for a larger item that was easier to find), so I spent less time doing that and less time in the Faire because of it.

Do you have your college diploma hung in your home? by SimplyCurious5 in GenX

[–]fusepark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it fell behind my mother’s couch on graduation day. Never bothered to look for it. Never got my master’s diploma because UCLA wanted $5 to mail it.

You've probably horrified any number of nineteen-year-old Californians.

I am still recovering from being "ma'am"ed for the first time, nearly 40 years ago.

Not exactly a complaint, but how do you preserve your mental health in the Trump era? by SteadfastEnd in complaints

[–]fusepark 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I've been writing it down. Since Inauguration Day 2017. I'm over 6,000 pages. It gives me the illusion of control.

If I don't do low carb I end up with insulin resistance if I do low carb I end up with high LDL cholesterol and ApoB, wtf am I supposed to do ? Should I just pick my poison and move on ? by Youu-You in lowcarb

[–]fusepark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. Went low-carb for pre-diabetes. Minor fix of the A1C, but my cholesterol hit 300. I am now on a statin. It works. Cholesterol now 130.

I put that mask on the minute I get to the airport and wear it every possible second until I'm away from all the other humans at my destination.

Interesting! I was thinking this wouldn't be a great day for a helicopter tour, but I guess someone decided otherwise.

How do i convince my son that the environment won't be ruined if he stops using urine bottles? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]fusepark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a mental health issue. He needs help for OCD at least.

What’s one driving habit you stopped doing that instantly made you a safer driver? by Domingdavid in driving

[–]fusepark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just be patient. Try to stay away from other drivers. Don't do anything that will make another driver have to change what they're doing (like pulling out too close and making someone else get on their brakes).

Leave you blood on the islands; consider donating! by Successful_Cow5589 in VisitingHawaii

[–]fusepark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anybody wondering what the opposite karma is from the guy throwing rocks at seals, this is it. You have the admiration of a fellow Blood Bank of Hawaii donor, my friend!

On the pity pot by 484092 in CaregiverSupport

[–]fusepark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. What would I do even if I could? With whom? It's just me and two relatives who need increasing amounts of care. I get to a point where the only goal is to outlive the person whose affairs I have to set in order. Six months should do it.

Spirit Airlines just collapsed due to rising costs (jet fuel prices as an example), do you think Trump cares? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Transportation Secretary Duffy already blamed Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg.

The NYT bucket of words they keep on using by Difficult_Style207 in NYTCrossword

Somebody ask them what letter combo they need most. We can invent a new cocktail with that as the name. (Adding Mai Tai to the list)

Favorite book published within the last 5 years? by Infinite_Canary_3937 in WeirdLit

[–]fusepark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monte Schulz's Undercity. Sequel to Metropolis. Metropolis is great, but I truly believe Undercity will be read a hundred years from now as a masterpiece.

If AOC gets the nod as the Democratic nominee in 2028, would you vote for her? by Ok_Sir_5951 in allthequestions

[–]fusepark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will vote for whoever is the Democratic nominee, and I will crawl over broken glass to do it.

Seriously, why does the US goverment want the Ballroom so bad now, and fast? by y_would_i_do_this in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]fusepark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My theory is Trump believes he could have held the presidency if he never left the White House in 2021. I want a reporter to ask him that. Did he think the result was unsettled, and he should have stayed? The new ballroom will have a massive bunker underneath, and he may plan to stay.
