  • Looks like the advice is covered, so let’s talk about your use of the term “boomer” to refer to yourself. You are a millennial, you’re likely too young to have boomer parents.

  • Where did they incite violence? They posted a list of state legislative leaders after stating that the power to regulate how corporations behave is a power left to the states. Seems like what they are advocating is that people contact their state legislators and demand state level regulation of these corporations.

  • Indigenous Hawaiians would greet each other by touching foreheads and “sharing breath.” The English colonizers and missionaries thought that was dirty, and were called “ha ole,” “without breath.” Over time, “haole” came to mean “foreigner” and then “white” (after multiple ethnicities would intermarry while white people largely refused to do so.)

  • One of my favorite anecdotes is about a (white) professor at University of Hawaii-Manoa who had a white student complain about being called a haole, saying it wasn’t fair that Hawaiians could be “racist” against white people. The professor responded “if you’re white in Hawaii you can be one of three things: a haole, a dumb haole, or a dumb fucking haole.”

    I grew up white in Hawaii, and I’m happy to say I was only ever called a haole.

  • Information about monk seals is all over Hawaii. The idea that this guy who visits frequently and is a fisherman would not know what a monk seal is is absurd. At minimum it should be cause for him to be banned from the state for being too stupid to safely travel there.

  • Plot twist: the dude is an interior design elitist and was being sarcastic, and the poster cannot perceive sarcasm.

  • Expensive watches are for men who can’t admit they want to wear a bracelet.

  • I disagree, anyone with sense knew everything Elon claimed about this thing was a lie.

  • One of my first hints I was on the spectrum was realizing that after my dad told me to make eye contact, I switched to “scarily intense conversation partner” for this very reason.

  • It may not be the best answer, but it’s probably the nerdiest.

  • I definitely think it was a deliberate choice, but more in the vein of “look at this bumbling moron driving this piece of shit French car” as a way of further masking his actual abilities.

  • But the show started in the 60s, and it’s the same car. You could argue his trenchcoat and hat (de rigeur when the show started) were more affectation in later years, or accept that at some point those simply occupy the role of signifiers that “yes this is Columbo.”

  • He’s a sergeant.

  • Columbo. Neurotypical is debatable, a lot of his behavior is an act to make the suspect less guarded. But he drives a shitty car, is happily married, and isn’t “too old for this shit.”

  • That capex number in the article is a big part of it. $200 billion spent to generate $1-2 billion a month in revenue is wasteful, and people at the top are feeling the pressure to justify that expense.

  • What fruit? What kind of coffee? Pretty sure there’s a substantial difference between a couple grapes and a caramel latte vs an apple and a black coffee.

  • “No, the name ‘Milka’ doesn’t refer to milk, why do you ask?”
