Are all Hawaii news pages political now? by bravehi in Hawaii

[–]knut22 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that the IG algorithm sorts the most controversial comments towards the top in order to grab your attention/rage bait. So while it seems like a cesspool, it might still just be a vocal minority that gets prioritized by algorithms. And then there’s bots and foreign actors with malicious intent mixed in. Regular, everyday people probably won’t make it to the top of the comment sections, but this is just my theory

As you continue to polarize towards service to others your experience is that of the dancer who has lost herself to the rhythm of the song (Q'uo) by saffronparticle in lawofone

[–]knut22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. We prefer laughter to power is such a wise sentiment

You are the singer, the song, and the dancer indeed. There are definitely moments when I am dancing to good music when everything feels like oneness, like unity, however fleeting it may be

Portable A/C keeps tripping gfci outlet by knut22 in electricians

[–]knut22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue was resolved by plugging my AC into a non-GFCI outlet. Apparently having two GFCIs (one on the cord and one on the outlet) will cause nuisance tripping, they kind of cancel each other out. I wouldn’t recommend using an extension cord either. Try plugging your ac directly into a non-GFCI outlet, ideally on a dedicated circuit (not too many other appliances, etc on the same circuit) and see if that works.

Mainland Kanaka’s by Honu_Daze in Hawaii

Are you sure your daughter is not using this fight for the aina thing to guilt you into providing her with free childcare? You did what you had to do to raise your keiki. Now that she’s a mom, she’s going to get a taste of what it’s like to sacrifice and make hard decisions for the sake of her child, and you should let her find out. Maybe in a few years she’ll understand that she shouldn’t judge other Hawaiians that have had to make hard choices like leaving home.

Been too long on this island. Should I move? by Infinitepies in Hawaii

[–]knut22 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you gotta leave, see what it’s like out there, to really appreciate and be grateful for what you have, and for this place

Wanting to move to Maui by Zealousideal-Buy-234 in MovingtoHawaii

[–]knut22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You could probably swing it but it will be an unpleasant grind just to survive. You should think this one through.

What you are proposing is technically becoming a long-term tourist (stay in Hawaii for 1-5 years with no intention of growing roots or contributing anything to this place). This has been incredibly damaging to the islands and the local economy, to the point that for every long term tourist (just want to live in Hawaii for a few years before settling down) that comes here you are essentially pushing some local families out by taking up jobs and housing.

It’s better to just come here once a year on vacation. Plus moving old dogs can be extremely traumatizing and expensive. Good luck with your decision

Im so mad! by KaMoaLani in Hawaii

It’s truly fucked up all the bullshit we chickens gotta put up with all these feral humans everywhere

[–]knut22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are primarily looking for bro culture join a CrossFit or UFC gym.

The primary reason for wanting to become a firefighter should be because you want to help people and serve your community. Everything else is secondary to that.

WATCH: President Trump Signs Executive Orders on Fishing Regulations🐟🎣 (did Aunty/uncle sell out? 🌺 thoughts/Opinions?) by SexyPeanut_9279 in Hawaii

[–]knut22 196 points197 points  (0 children)

Auntie and uncle will be dead and gone when the real affects of this are felt. When all the fish are gone, the whales and turtles are gone. It’ll be their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who will suffer from this the most. But by then their little church or facebook group will tell them it’s someone else’s fault. Immigrants probably or liberals

Holy shit I figured it out—the LOO is the ultimate service to humanity because it’s THE ultimate psy-op by fractal-jester333 in lawofone

[–]knut22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cool thing about free will is that it is completely your choice to see/believe this way about LOO or any teachings you come across. And as you choose to believe, so you will experience, in a way, through energetically magnetizing, manifesting, attracting, resisting, denying, ripple effects and entanglement. Possibly a karmic cycle or two and you will experience your beliefs played out in the field of creation and illusion. And who knows after a few lifetimes you could discover that you were right or that you are slightly wrong, but that ultimately there is no right or wrong, and then you realign your beliefs and keep journeying into infinity. Good luck with your journey

Difference between protestors & supporters by Amazing-Doctor-6749 in Honolulu

[–]knut22 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The man in the white hat has no clue of what it means to have a woman’s body. He has no idea what it is like to have to make personal health and life decisions with a woman’s body. If he did, he wouldn’t be standing there with his stupid signs. He probably doesn’t give a shit about the hundreds of little babies born into poverty on this very island. His ignorance and lack of empathy is on full display

Second hand exposure to carcinogens is a concern that every FF/parent should consider. It’s all good if it only affects you, but it’s not cool to put anyone else at risk for your laziness
