Iʻll triple that emotion. I donʻt read them but others unfortunately quote them and one just needs to look at the number of posts every day to know that the Karenometer is going off the scale again. Again. Again.

I feel for you, big time. I just wish we had the ability to block certain users from seeing our posts in the first place. Seriously, it gets real old having the same person respond to every post and end up always dominating the conversation with her crass humorless nonsense. It's like PW has become her very own, and god help anyone that wants to converse with others.. you can't. It's all her all the time. Just look at all the threads in today's line up.. every single one is last posted by one person.. and nobody's interested in interacting with her. All conversations end with her.. It's as if she's single handedly killing PW.

Hopefully Mod2 can come up with a solution that gives us back the community her dominance has stifled.

What does any of this have to do with Puna, Pahoa, Hilo, Hawaii or the thread subject matter?

Rules, people, rules!

You can block seeing their posts.  If you don’t want to know what they’re saying, don’t look.  If you don’t post anything about them, their comments probably won’t say anything about you.

Thank you for pointing out how to eliminate the annoying videos.

How about something to stop the excessive quoting ? Rob used to remind people all the time not to do it.

This x10 (take that!) It's a strange insistence that you should never have to see information you don't like, and that everyone else needs to facilitate this desire. Perhaps in addition to putting fingers in the ears, you could cover your eyes as well? (although I'm not sure how to then take a screenshot to share one's commitment to avoidance...) Apparently the Punaweb algorithm is not up to snuff at providing a personally curated reality and we'll have to learn to live with it, or just go outside and confront the real thing instead.

Oh, and more on topic, CBP is hiring in Hawaii so all those on board with tariffs and detainments can step up and get their own shiny boots and brownshirts. (then again, even FEMA folks are being reassigned to enforcement, so who knows what you'll be sent to do regardless of what agency you sign up for under this regime)

"shiny boots and brownshirts."

Puna relevance and maybe you need to get help for your hysteria or paranoia whichever it may be.

When do I get my 50K signing bonus? In addition to reassigning FEMA folk, they have tapped the Federal Air Marshals from protecting the general flying public such as the thousands of tourists who fly to and from Hawaii every day, and while not using them as additional "hired guns" during a raid, but are being used as glorified flight attendants on deportation flights passing out sandwiches, cleaning the plane and also checking for lice.

The part I find quite ironically funny is that a majority of the group who railed so hard against mask mandates are now scurrying to be hired where the required uniform is a bullet proof vest, various guns of all types and calibers, and you must wear a MASK! For your protection, of course.

Go figure!

Puna relevance

If you click the attachment, you’ll see a flyer listing hiring locations, and Hawai’i is included.  Which might presume they will be deployed here, and that might concern some people.  Others not concerned will comfort themselves with the rationalization that “the worst of the worst” (which are only approximately 8% of the total, which is what people thought they voted for, but now seem to be OK with something that is entirely different) will be head bagged and shackled with the aloha spirit.
