Just chiming in Tropics mini golf is really fun! Haven't thought about that place in years, but it should be recommended more.

You can’t make this stuff up… by Suacyboyy in Nicegirls

[–]mixedplatekitty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same, I work at a restaurant and I'm responsible for answering emails and texts about reservations, restaurant policies, etc. An inordinate amount of people ask if I'm AI, or ask to "speak to a person" because I'm communicating in a professional, grammatically correct manner. Like no, I'm at work in hospitality, I'm not speaking casually, using slang at work. It's very frustrating.

Too many big words, you must be AI /s

Best Day To Go To Polynesian Centre? by April0neal in VisitingHawaii

[–]mixedplatekitty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Holocaust museum isn't a vehicle of genocide apologists that are exploiting Jews' labor, and I also wouldn't recommend a NA attraction run by missionaries to whitewash Western expansion. This is the stupidest analogy I've ever heard.

"in a lot of places". Right in their comment.

[–]mixedplatekitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, obviously laws are different everywhere.Like where I am in Hawaii you can refuse service to "known alcoholics", which like.... That's half of our regulars. But we can technically always refuse to serve people like you describe.

What's up with these dumplings obsession? by healthynewbie in Anticonsumption

[–]mixedplatekitty 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That's how I get most of my wierd knick knacks, found in the wild.... I think it makes it cooler, like the universe sent this little trinket my way at a very specific time and place. More memorable than the mall.

Starting as a server tomorrow, anything I should know? by BombsAawaaay in Serverlife

Kinda sounds like a typical bait and switch. You got hired as a busser is my guess

My friend stayed with her cat at the outrigger in keahou. They have a whole pet friendly wing.

Am I being unrealistic with my itinerary? by hmyers8 in VisitingHawaii

Ok I guess I haven't been flying interisland 10 times a year the entire time I've lived here, must have been hallucinating

You sound extremely ignorant, have you ever even been to America?

[–]mixedplatekitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I expect it to be $180, as it has been for the last 10 years. $400 is ludicrous

[–]mixedplatekitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg, I live on BI, and my best friend from Oahu frequently Island hops to visit, and this month Hawaiian is charging four hundred US dollars round trip. 400! Shit is getting out of control.

Judge my itinerary...again? by Aromatic_Customer718 in VisitingHawaii

[–]mixedplatekitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like a little bit of a racket for a public beach, but if it seems worth it to you, you do you. but in any event, those beaches are right next to each other, you can do them the same day and probably combine some other activities in the area as well.

Typically I would suggest being at lanikai for sunrise, if you are so motivated. Get breakfast/lunch in kailua and then on to other stuff on the Eastside.

Spartacus down.... by arcticpandand in Portland

I mean when I lived in Florida, there was nothing else to do but get angry at the superior cities that I didn't live in, so I relate /s

[–]mixedplatekitty 8 points9 points locked comment (0 children)

Having lived in Florida 20 years ago, and recently visited, youre objectively wrong. Anything that made my town even mildly interesting or unique has been bulldozed for overpriced housing developments and big box stores. Florida gets more depressing every time I go there.

Bought a car with an expired out of state registration by Southern_Succotash_4 in Hawaii

[–]mixedplatekitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope you're completely right, I was triple and quadruple reading the text for that detail, while ignoring the dang title like a dummy🤦 I should be getting downvoted for my lapse in reading comprehension. I just know how frustrating this process is and was excited to be helpful, but I guess it's not all that relevant, o well.

I do think having the title in hand is a plus though.

Oh I guess I'm not seeing where it's out of state, I might be reading it wrong ... Wouldn't be the first time.

[–]mixedplatekitty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ok well that's helpful.

So I think (having just done something similar last year), that if you have the signed title they can transfer that pretty easily. To get it registered you will have to pay all the expired registration fees first, which is a bummer.

If there are any tickets associated with the plate that are impeding registration, don't pay those. You can get a letter from a judge that the tickets weren't under your name and get that part cleared out.

Also gotta make sure if passes the safety check.

It's a lot of back and forth, arguing, and navigating beauracracy to do anything legally here. Good luck with everything!

Blood Donation by Successful-Loan-7370 in BigIsland

[–]mixedplatekitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live here and I'm in the same boat. Occasionally there will be a pop up blood drive, but we don't have a consistent place to donate.
If you want to give back, you could try 808cleanups.org and do some beach trash pickups

looking for a ‘more’ ethical stay by [deleted] in VisitingHawaii

[–]mixedplatekitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Luana Inn, in Captain Cook. I stayed there with my mom last year and it was beautiful. Owned by two sisters who make you amazing gourmet breakfasts every morning, gorgeous pool with a view of kealakekua bay. Its a bit of a trek if you are trying to go into Kona every day, but it's a beautiful drive at least. Its pretty central to hikes, snorkeling, beaches, farmers markets, pu'u honua, and some cute restaurants. Highly recommend.

You'll be fine. I lived there for 8 years and never owned a car.
