I had a co-worker who was a self-aware prepper, i.e. he did all the crazy prepper stuff but realized how crazy it looked to the rest of us and was able to laugh at himself for it. Anyway, one strategy he had that I thought actually wasn't a half-bad idea was to have a couple bottles of Jack...

I own a home that I rent out. I have a mortgage for this home that is backed by Fannie Mae. I imagine there are thousands of other people like me, most of whom probably like me bought their owner occupied home and at some point moved and kept their original home as a rental. From the IPO info it...

Snapchat is an overvalued unicorn, no doubt. However a startup in a new field is focused on dominating that field, not growing big operational profits. Most of the dominant companies that were startups in the past 15 years spent many years with no profits as they consolidated their industry...

I'm going to share something with you, then I'm going to put you on ignore because it's really not fair to get you so riled up like this. What I'm going to share is my background, just to demonstrate to you how truly awful you are at judging others. I come from a decidedly lower middle class...

You failed to answer a single one of my questions. Let me repeat them in case you missed them. I'll number them so they're clear. 1. The center of Oahu is a large Army base and pineapple fields, where did you stay exactly? 2. How many times did you visit the Waianie? 3. How many times did you...

Forgot the surf, North Shore Oahu is definitely the place for that.

Yes, have you? Are are you going to tell me that you know far more about that than me too, because although I spent an entire career serving you spent "a few weeks" talking to someone in the military? You're a real piece of work, what's wrong with you!

"Inside the island", I don't even know what that means and using that terminology demonstrates you didn't spend time interacting with people who actually lived there. Which is completely different from visiting a place, any place, just so you know. By the way, the center of Oahu is a large Army...

OK, apparently I'm now gay, Jewish, and sit around on my yacht all day wearing my school colors plotting world domination. Thanks for enlightening me, I thought my real life was far more boring. Can you throw a couple more biggotted remarks in there volpunter, so you'll be banned again? You...

Dude, chill the f out. It's called sarcasm. I was quoting volpunter there with is crackpot ideas about "the establishment" controlling the world. If you read any of my posts you'd realize that I believe nothing of the sort. If you'd read this post you'd certainly recognize Zzzz1's quotes and...

Give it a break already, good lord!

Actually I lived there for 3 years, as would be apparent if you actually read this thread. Sounds like you spent a week in Waikiki and are now an expert. An expert with a massive chip on his shoulder!

Taking this personally are we? How long did you live Oahu again? Since I've lived in several of the places you mention, and about 15 others, I'm speaking based on my experience. Not sure where you're speaking from outside of some kind of misplaced personal animosity? Get a life dude.

It is as I feared, you see the world in such a literal and transactional sense that even extreme sarcasm quoting you own words went over your head. At this point I am guessing you're a bit of an Aspie (as I probably am as well), so I'll leave you alone.

No no no, not anti globalism, anti-"establishment"... but what you don't know is that the "establishment" is global, they control everything. You see while we're (apparently I am one) all wearing "sweaters with logos of his alma mater on his weekend yachting outings" we're on yachts that can...

Did you even bother to read the thread at all before posting?

To be fair, much of what I got out of my MBA was of the "didn't know I didn't know" this really cool field or idea even existed type of thing. If you have a transactional mindset, think an MBA consists solely of options/finance 101/202 style classes, and haven't yet grasped the "don't know what...

Just in case you forgot what you posted in this thread "I simply stated in summary that paying more than a hundred thousand for a grad school degree and by that extension any formal educational studies that cost money and a huge investment in time are quite useless unless they are really applied...

Jobs are on Oahu but living there sucked far worse than any of the 20 odd places I've lived in my life. I agree Maui is the best balance of having the stuff you need to live day to day life and not dealing with the garbage dumping, grafitti, meth encampments on the beaches, traffic, crime.... of...

I'm glad we got past the nonsense that you can learn to do anything with on the job training. You've got a serious chip on your shoulder my friend, and again I'm sorry you missed out on a great opportunity and the ability to realize that there's far more to life than some kind of monetary...
