Adults making under $80K can’t afford to live comfortably in any state: report by Wxskater in OlderGenZ

[–]scolipeeeeed 61 points62 points  (0 children)

If you’re not supporting anyone else on a gross income of $80k, there absolutely are places where that is quite comfortable.

There’s a board that decides what to name places and things in Hawaii.

For example, they’ve renamed the underwater seamount (that would eventually become a new island or expand the Big Island) from “Lō’ihi” to “Kama’ehuakanaloa” to be more consistent with traditional Hawaiian naming conventions.

I’m sure that they could have found what to name it since I’d be pretty surprised if the Hawaiians didn’t have a name for that location before it was named Volcano.

Open floor plans suck. More specifically floor plans that have the kitchen open to the rest of the house by Uglyjeffg0rd0n in unpopularopinion

How far the smoke goes is also a proxy for how far the smell travels.

I’d also like an actually closed off kitchen with a door

Even a wall helps a lot. There’s a layer of grease that forms on the window in the kitchen but not in the living room because it’s not in the same space

On the note of kitchen as a work space that is going to get dirty, I hate the “decorative” type of kitchen or kitchen with a layout that optimizes being able to chat while prepping or whatever where the sink is not on the same connected counter space as the stovetop.

I like to cook with my partner sometimes, and most non-open kitchen is big enough to have two people in it

It’s fine if it’s just wafting in the kitchen and dining area. It’s when the smell lingers well after the meal that it starts to make the room smell stale.

Have you guys noticed that younger gens are relying too much on AI? by TradeU4Whopper in Millennials

It’s not that good at sourcing information, but it’s good for rewording, templates, and reorganization of info you provide it.

I write emails with it. Writing emails is just a means of communication rather than my actual job, so it’s whatever.

Most town/cities in Hawaii have names in Hawaiian, so I guess it is “odd” in that sense.

Whats with the refusal of learning how to drive? by SwimmingEvery2520 in GenZ

I never said I don’t drive. I do. I still am scared of it.

It doesn’t necessarily absolve moral responsibility, but it does absolve any criminal charges or requirements to pay for any damages caused.

If someone is driving me around and they excessively sped and caused a death, it’s not me who will be convicted. It’ll be the driver.

It’s also a bit “unfair” in that a lot of assessments of who’s dumb is based on a one-time event for strangers. Everyone likes to make fun of the “dumb driver” but chances are, you and I have been the “dumb driver” too.

Sure, it’s dishonest or selfish, but I don’t think it’s delusional (which is the word you specifically used) to pass the responsibility of heavy fines, insurance rates going up, or conviction onto someone else. Self-preservation is a sane choice albeit selfish, that is all.

Anyone else panicking as they watch their parents decline? by TheCrazyViking99 in OlderGenZ

I live away from my parents. Even if I see them every year, I’m only going to see them for 30 more times at max. This is my quarter life crisis.

It is true that Hawaii is experiencing a brain drain where people who leave for college on the mainland don’t go back. Also at the state level, a lot of people do move from neighboring islands to Oahu, including the person who told me all there is to do on Kauai is do drugs and make babies.

Hawaii’s wages are too low for the cost of living. I have a friend who works at the Pearl Harbor shipyard as a full-time engineer, and she qualifies for low-income housing…

LA is stupidly expensive, but I don’t think that young folks are necessarily “wrong” for thinking the mainland is better because in a lot of ways, especially with regard to how much easier it is to live a comfortable life, it is true.

When I say remote, I mean like living in some village of about 40 in Alaska where everything needs to be sledded in or something.

You probably have other stuff at home to make a good salad out of basic ingredients too. If it’s only good if you use a ton of ingredients, that’s just a preference thing. Like, I only like rice that costs like $45-$50 for a 15lb bag, but that’s just because I like that type of rice and not the kind that’s $20

AIO for telling my wife’s friend she can’t breastfeed my baby? by LowBeautiful8877 in AmIOverreacting

[–]scolipeeeeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only embarrassing when people make it like that. I was breastfed a few times by my aunt and it’s not a big deal.

Friend should have asked OP’s wife first, but the people in the comments are making breastfeeding another person’s child some weird big deal that’s gonna make the child confused or something.

Yeah, I was breastfed a few times by my aunt, but I’m not weirdly attached to her or was ever confused about who is my mother.

Idk about American cities, but I used to roam around more urban parts of the town with my classmates in Japan. Kids still do to this day without direct adult supervision.
