Yak: Been tracking MDL 3047 related cases for awhile, but those thousands of personal cases and those brought by the state AGs aren't about the tech giants allowing their systems to be hacked or used for scams against seniors so there appears to be new legal grounds for you to explore (but better get to it as there is blood in the water)
Glad to hear you're tracking something. As for the cases not having anything to do with scams against seniors, you're right, but I'm willing to let possible lawsuits against tech companies and scamming seniors take a back seat while the case against the addicted YouTuber may be of a more immediate issue, but come on now, the case the Zuckster lost, along with the stuff slowly being dribbled out of some Jewish guy's files, and then Musky and his Grok... wowzer, we got some real sickos out there. And it looks like the good old Section 230 may have a new crack in it.
Yak: Huh? How's the ICE/CBP actions in Maui and Minnesota related? And shouldn't it be swatting a squadder?
Related to what, the song? Let's see now, they have a badge, carry a loaded gun, can arrest you and can shoot you, with immunity. The old saying escapes me at the moment, but it is something about a duck walking, swimming and quacking. At least we now got gaggles full of mostly out of shape, poorly, if ever trained, and ARMED goons roaming our airports, while the wait times and lines get longer and longer. But hey, they aren't wearing any masks, so that's good! And they're getting paid! But I do love the theory that sending in ICE agents to replace TSA workers who are either quitting like rats on a sinking ship or not showing up for work after not getting paid for 2 months as if these positions are completely interchangeable. That's like if you need a colonoscopy and your doctor is too backlogged, well then, just call up Joe the plumber and fire up the Roto-Rooter!
Yak: Well, then you need to get the people to rise up and force the PUC to take action, or maybe storm the local HECO offices and do a sit in, like those Sunrise Movement kids back in 2018? Let us know how we can help.
Nope! Not getting anybody to do anything. I got my solar, so as I see it, I got my piece of cake, I am eating it, and I got 2 more whole cakes in the fridge. I'm thinking any rising up to force the PUC to change would be best performed by those younger, non-conformist anarchy loving Gen X'ers.. But I do admire your ability to moan, bitch and complain about everything, blame everybody else for it, mostly boomers, while expecting someone else, mainly a boomer, to do something about it. Typical.
Yak: I didn't ask you that either - I was asking if that's what you were suggesting (and yes, it's another nod to The Matrix, thanks for playing along with name that pop-culture reference). As for your wager, I already know the outcome, but maybe I can point you to a website where you can place your bet using cryptocurrency? All the ads say you can win big so of course you should trust them, right?
Sorry, my boomer mind keeps forgetting that some people think reality is the Movie and Video Game(s) called "The Matrix." And I am also quite sure that you could point me to endless websites that deal with crypto betting. However, I am kind of interested in the new platform of prediction betting, and even more interested in how very recently, there have been these seemingly off the wall predictions made, then huge bets placed on that prediction, such as predictions for going to war in Iran or the price of oil to suddenly rise and that this betting takes place literally hours right before it happens, making some obscure unknown people/entities tens of millions of dollars. It's almost like they know it was going to happen right before it happened. Now, as for placing my bet with crypto, while it is a good idea, I can't find any bookies to take my $WLFI digital tokens.
Yak: Please point to where I said ALL boomers - I'll wait. (it helps to read all the words in a sentence to grasp how clause and sub-clauses add precise qualifiers and exceptions).
Well, here is one. And then, this one. I'll wait while you re-read what you said. And make sure to read all of it now. There are numerous others, but these 2 are good examples. Maybe you're forgetting what you said? As an aged boomer, I can tell you that the first 2 signs of senility are forgetting things and for the life of me I can't remember the 2nd, but perhaps maybe you might be experiencing early onset symptoms?
Yak: So in 2016 males, white, over 45 (boomer + pre-1971 older genX), $50K+ earners, non-union, conservatives focused on Immigration and Terrorism, determined the national outcome (Hawai'i voted blue, again, shakas all around). In [https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-grou...-2024]2024[/url] males, white and "other"(?), over 45 (boomer + much of genX - thanks Rogan), $100K- earners, non-union, conservatives focused on Immigration, The Economy, and Foreign Policy, determined the national outcome (Hawai'i voted blue, again, more shakas). Inflation from the pandemic spending that weren't taken back up via taxes (MMT works by investing in people and infrastructure and then recouping the costs via taxes on the economic growth) - just forgiving PPP loans for every multi-million dollar scammer (see, related to the thread Mod tends to drive up prices. So does bombing oil producing countries to get even with the dead for events from ~50 years ago. We all get to pay at the pump, along with current and future generations on every April 15th for their existence - thanks Trumpsters!
None of this pertains to me in any fashion whatsoever. I did not vote for it, but we do now all get to pay for it. Too bad the Tang disappeared, maybe into the Matrix of never-ending Hawaii Election Commission Zoom Calls? I'd love to hear his take on all of this. But, again, being clear, I had not one thing to do with it, nor do I support any of it. On the other hand, this just makes me wonder if you are just simply flooding PunaWeb with National Politics. Once again. And then, do I detect a rather large amount of you being agitated here? Hmm...
Yak: Just noting the conditions 20 years ago when some people in the environmental movement were trying to push renewables forward over the demands for drill baby drill, and yet more fossil fuel use, whether it be bunker fuel or LNG.
I have never disputed any of that. But, compared to bunker oil, LNG is better. Still bad, but better. Like Lite Beer for the more weight challenged beer drinkers. Or Marlboro Lights versus Marlboro Reds. Baby steps.
Yak: No I keep my eyes closed and execute each stroke in state of Zen transcendentalism like Zatoichi. Hard to be agitated while listening to the rain with your eyes closed as you "first empty your cup".
I'm gonna go with you making your posts on one screen as you play some 20–30-year-old video game on another screen while also listening and watching to bootlegged music videos on the 3rd screen all at the same time, and probably, while at work. Perhaps maybe even being paid, directly or indirectly by the Hawaii and American taxpayer???
Yak: If you actually read what was written, I asked the same question that Rob asks to take into account that posters may be drunk, stoned, having a moment, and/or distracted. Some people have noted that they post while in such states so not projecting at all, more just highlighting that explicitly stated possibility. Others have asked you what you are on about as well, so you might consider how your words are being received by multiple readers?
I read everything you said. You insinuated in several ways that 2 other posters and I must be drunk and or stoned when making posts, then you tried the PunaTang reverse uno card trick, trying to turn it in to me being the one being obsessed with drunk/drugged posting. Again Yak, you're projecting. As for any poster saying anything about what I post, well, like you said, "I just get to call it like I sees it" (with references!) well, so do I! I do find anyone who takes issue with what I post is mostly upset as what I post is true, and in a majority of cases, I just use and turn the exact same words they said back at them in the first place. That does upset a few! But I just sense more of you just being a bit agitated here... again.
Yak: Many of us did that too, and more. Everyone has an academic and professional history, many people on Punaweb have expertise in one thing or another. I've found it helps to listen more than talk when they speak on topics they know well.
(See above response for context) Another projection here again Yak. Your posts are long and laborious and difficult to read and difficult to reply to. And those dammed emojis. If you ever read anything I've ever posted, there are numerous posts I have made in agreement with other posters. I too have an academic and professional history, yet in my case, I've been told I am a liar, fictitious, once called a ChatGPT LLM, some guy named "Ken" and been demanded to disclose confidential information on legal cases I have been involved with as well as disclose my state Bar license numbers to prove I am who I say I am. I've never seen ANY other poster faced with a demand like that. And while that does not agitate me, it does show that I have clearly agitated others. And when someone does speak on topics they know more about that me, I listen. And you sure do know how to be verbose! Much better than I ever could be! But it seems to me that you're more or less saying that I don't know what I am talking about. Please explain that more. Provide evidence of that.
Yak: I though randomq just got tired of playing, or talking about, games and decided if Punaweb can't be upgraded, maybe Puna could be. Seems on point to me!
Oh, to be clear, I am not mad at randomq for making that post. I agree that randomq's post was spot on. In every aspect. I too am also wondering what the status of the update is. I only suggested randomq make a new thread as it is a very important issue. However, in the history of PunaWeb thread jacking, it seems as long as its anyone else but me possibly jacking a thread, it's just another okie dokie. And I was concerned that maybe, as I was called out, on my own created thread, for introducing a congruent issue, I did not want randomq to have to deal with that. I suggested a new thread topic be made out of respect and care for randomq, unlike how some jackass tried to discredit me and while being extremely agitated apparently tried to do.
Yak: Like I said, this is the thread where we are all killing time waiting for the upgrade to complete. There's really not much more to be said about the upgrade itself...
Well, that's true enough! Maybe Rob's webmaster is stuck somewhere in the Matrix while making the effort to learn that "some rules can be bent, others can be broken." Hopefully they will learn the second part of the lesson. In the meantime, maybe some nonconforming, anarchy lovers could put up more blinking flashing neon-colored pages, toss in a few rapid 5 second GIF's ala 1980's/90's old computer graphics while waxing nostalgically about the good old days of internet beginnings and marathon video game playing in mommy's basement. Maybe even toss in a sound bite of the old dial up modem connecting screeching sound playing on an endless loop? Of course, at full volume too!
randomq: HiloJulie, if Joy were going to champion Puna issues she would have done it years ago. She's had the platform. My thinking is more to form a group that really represents Puna, lobbies for it, and defends it legally when necessary. Maybe you could advise us when we would benefit from a lawyer, when lawyers are trying to rip us off, etc. :-) Anyway I have neither the time nor energy to pursue that now. But I will make time to protest tomorrow, and I hope others do as well. Honk that horn like a machine gun when you drive by, the whole way, it really raises the spirits!
(See above response for added context) I hear you randomq. But maybe, instead of thinking this near 70-year-old boomer lady should take on this fight, we toss Joy to the curb in the next election and get someone who has the drive, the initiative and the moxie to get shit done around Puna for once and for all. As you neither the time nor energy to pursue that now the same goes for me! But having said that, let's be honest. The same stuff you mentioned was the same stuff going on back when I moved here in 1987, so I am quite sure PunaWeb will be fixed before anything in Puna changes.
And yes, the Protest tomorrow! I too will be at the protest, along with my husband, of course Barney and some visiting family members flying in from the mainland, but we will all be at the Kona protest! And since Barney is our designated driver, bring on the Jack and pass that bong! Maybe I'll post after we get home! And I did have to tell Barney that he can't BRING his machine gun, just blow the horn like his machine gun. Jesus, talking about one being agitated.
Glad to hear you're tracking something.

And it looks like the good old Section 230 may have a new crack in it.
Yak: Huh? How's the ICE/CBP actions in Maui and Minnesota related? And shouldn't it be swatting a squadder?
Related to what, the song? Let's see now, they have a badge, carry a loaded gun, can arrest you and can shoot you, with immunity. The old saying escapes me at the moment, but it is something about a duck walking, swimming and quacking.
