The various Starbucks locations decided to close earlier, which forced me to stop working in the middle of my shift and rent was so expensive.. I couldn’t find a roommate which was difficult.

The climate in Honolulu is superb. I can remember lying down (or should that be "laying" down ?) in the shade of a tree in a patch of green somewhere near the Honolulu docks. A beautiful warm day with a gentle breeze blowing. I fell asleep ....I mean...totally out like a light, mouth opened...snoring. Was woken up four hours later by a friendly cop ..."Just checking to make sure that you're still with us".Travelled a lot, all round the world in those years. I became convinced, then, and remain so that the Pacific is the place to be. But , yes, island life (eye ee living on any Pacific island) can certainly present challenges. Looking forward to setting off again to rediscover the places of my youth...like Tahiti, Fiji , Hawaii etc..etc.

I lived in Hawaii for a number of years and found most native Hawaiians to be a warm and welcoming people. What most mainlanders don't understand is that when mainlanders from the U.S. and the rich Japanese, in the 80's, bought homes in Hawaii they drove up prices so much that native Hawaiians could no longer live in Hawaii. Most Hawaiians share there homes with 2 or 3 generations to help keep costs down. Except for Honolulu, which is the only large city and a lot like the mainland, most people grew up in Hawaii work 2 or 3 part time jobs to make a living. So what has happened is more native Hawaiians live on the mainland than live in Hawaii, because they can no longer afford to live there. An extreme version of gentrification. Imagine instead of having to move a few blocks away you are forced to move 3,000 miles away. I imagine you would be angry too.

[@prototypesoup1685]

born and raised, and still on Oahu now. Been to every island also. Maybe that might make my input one-sided, and i think it can be hard to find a local hawaiian who can articulate what she is trying to say with words like "simple" and "warrior", but I will try. It isn't about what/who we dislike. Many of us feel innately connected to nature - be it the ocean, or the garden, or the food. This foundation simplifies a lot of our behavior because it makes us feel (1) we ought to act based on our intuitions, and (2) we feel like we are perceptive people. That connection also give us a sense of responsibility to nature - that we are the voices of that which have no voice. Makes us protective BY nature. At the risk of being pretentious, I believe there are other cultures in the world with this sense of kuleana, or responsibility. With th is understanding that I have tried to piece together - even for myself - I think it can be plain to see the sort of interactions you can expect from us. "Warriors" is a flattering word, and I believe other Hawaiians would embrace it. But they would much more identify with the title of Protector. And once you enter the Islands, there is a level of reverence that we hope to see

[@tolndakoti]

Not only is it expensive, salaries are low. Public education is not that great. Most of the parents I’ve met either home school or private school, which adds even more to the cost of living. Most Hawaiian blooded parents I meet, have 2 jobs. There’s not that many amenities, say you need to get specialized surgery done, you’d have to fly to Oahu to do that. The biggest problem I notice is the “resource curse”. Hawaii makes money from tourism, and some agriculture. That means they don’t really need the residence to do anything else but that. Be a carpenter to build hotels and homes, be a cook, be manual labor. There’s no need to further educate them because that’s not where the money is coming from. Yeah, there’s an amazing program for wildlife conservation, and oceanography...how many scientist do you think is employed for that? How many of those are actually from the islands? The resource curse is that the State focuses on the money generator, which is the land, not the people on it. Although it may sound disconnected from what you are focused on, it’s going to affect your life. Especially if you have kids.

I think that most people on this thread are commenting on a "warrior culture" without understanding what it is. Warrior culture is a general term for a society that maintains its traditions that were born out of primal instincts and a penchant for warfare. It is a GENERAL, NON-SPECIFIC term, which means it will be applied differently in different parts of the world. What this term also means is that just a few generations back, these societies were engaged in combat over resources and maintaining those resources for survival. Although political aspirations may have played a part, it was not the primary reason for combat: survival was. In this video, Gabrielle Reese and Joe Rogan are talking about Hawaiian Warrior Culture. In Ancient Hawaii, which was only a little more than 2 centuries ago, people were sometimes conscripted into military service (much like ancient Greece, Rome and China). Everyone had an occupation (farmer, fisherman, toolmaker,etc.), but they needed to have combat skills, just in case they were called up. The warrior mentality encompassed everything they did. Like Jackie Chan says in The Karate Kid remake, "Everything is Kung Fu." This is NOT EXCLUSIVE to Hawaii. Don't assume that when they are speaking about this, that they are speaking about ALL warrior cultures. Once people start doing that, they begin to degrade and criticize other warrior cultures in a senseless debate and comparison that shows a lack of respect for all the cultures being discussed. By comparing warrior cultures just to prove who is "better" (remember, "better" is relative) you are engaging in a disservice to all cultures involved. Please show respect to everyone's ancestors. Sharing a little aloha is not a crime.

Just visited Hawaii (Oahu) for the first time & while I loved it & stayed busy the whole week I know I could never live there full time. We drove the whole island in a couple hrs. She’s right, you’d get bored pretty fast. And just claustrophobic knowing you’re surrounded by water. I’d go crazy. Plus like every other place there’s homelessness, drugs etc..

[@BobbyHo2022]

Yep. Thats how we talk. We say, its boring. Nothing to do. And when a new store comes from the mainland, there is lines around the block for weeks. I dont bother going for a few months.

[@JessieJellybeans]

Well you did visit the most boring island

[@FugaConManolo]

I just back back from Oahu a day ago was there for 3 1/2 days. Kept busy the whole time I really didn't like Honolulu or Waikiki. I preferred to be out in the greenery. I definitely feel claustrophobic. I live in SoCal and there months that I don't leave my own own city or my house (covid era) I think people are being over dramatic. The time I was in Oahu I would forget I was in an Island is is big.

Oahu is the wild west. Got meth trade, bought out cops , and a corrupt real estate company that was there since the original Marines usurped the land . I met farmers who were being extorted by them, said they were blackmailing them, and one even murdered.

[@jessicatuifua]

I think she gave a fair and accurate though somewhat delicate description on life here in Hawaii, totally understandable considering she lives on Kauai.I love Gabrielle Reece and seeing her as someone my volleyball playing daughters from the Big Island can look up to she is not at all pushing the fantasy of island life that many mainlanders have. I live in Kona and yes it’s beautiful and strong in its culture but definitely not without it’s drawbacks,With the right mindset, necessary respect and overall attitude it can be something wonderful but is based on your expectations,if you come with the wrong attitude and any entitlements it can an entirely sobering and unwelcoming experience, it’s up to you really. Probably not a good fit for pushy and aggressive rat race accustomed folks. But seeing how much Joe seems to appreciate and is so drawn to The Big Island I don’t think he’d be disillusioned.

[@armisteadlucascolemanii7256]

I absolutely love the islands. I will be headed to Kauai next. My son and I are into more extreme hiking. We did 2 weeks on the big island last year. I could have just stayed there in the jungle hunting pigs with a knife. But I grew up on an island in Puget Sound... so island life is "home" for me. I love tropical plants and do not like crowds. So go figure... here on the Olympic Peninsula I spend my free time in the mountains off trail or on the coast off trail. For many, that is just scary... perfect! That means I will not see them out there!

[@-sensibleChris]

I've been trying g to avoid pushy rat race people my whole life. I live in the city now and for the last 28 years, but I grew up in a small town, a d even there we had pushy people that would step on there own mother to get ahead of everyone else. I just wish I knew where the peaceful places are on the mainland without being a part of drug culture, or domineering religious culture. Maybe they don't exist.

[@mrpoopoohead7668]

may I ask a question? I have been watching videos about Hawaii and What if the supply of food and other supplies was cut-off for about a month or even say 3 months, what impact would that have on everyone on the islands??

[@sassoscrib]

it took me 8 to 10 hours to drive around the big island. I started in Kona, stopped at Hilo for lunch, and made my way back to Kona. Made some stops along the way..black sands beach, city of refuge, volcano park..

she said 4. lol

from Hilo to Kona with no stops takes 1.5 hours, if you drive through saddle road that goes directly through the middle of the island. Idk where she got that number from lol.

Race is not so much the problem as is not having a humble demeanor.

[@goodstory5890]

I’ve shared this before and no offense to anyone here, but the struggle that the Hawaiian people have is that when we show foreigners our “Aloha Spirit” which is kindness towards others and these foreigners step out of boundaries like trespassing on sacred grounds that upset the locals who’s only expectations are that these places are respected but are not and when the Hawaiian people complain these foreigners ask ignorantly“where’s the Aloha Spirit 😳?” Thanks and Aloha 🌺

[@jrudmanjr]

Funny but true story, while working and living on kauai during Iniki aftermath a few coworkers and I were surfing on the west side. They were ordered to leave the water immediately for hogging all the waves on long boards. I started paddling in with them and the locals said we didn't tell you to leave just your arrogant friends. Why? Because I was respectful and waited my turn.

[@davruck1]

White people always think it’s racism or resentment but it’s really just them being arrogant tools. Most don’t even understand how disrespectful they are, so I don’t get angry.

[@AlohaLowah]

Lived on Oahu for 4 years and I can't tell you how many times people would tell me "I would just be at the beach allll the time if I lived there" as if you don't have to do life there. She's totally right, you'd get bored doing that all day every day.

@@MarkyTeriyakiShorts leave as in vacation or totally leave? There’s a reason why Vegas has many people migrating from Hawaii so your logic doesn’t really hold weight.

[@dominysynclair]

That was not my experience living and working in Hawai'i. There are certain thing you just have to do their way, certain customs you need to, and should voluntarily, adhere to. It's really pretty basic stuff based on respect. If you do, you're in. If you don't, you're out.

[@tdskills16]

It’s rare to see that tho and there’s usually a reason such as people not respecting the islands for example throwing trash or getting close to protected animals or just being stupid because it’s there vacation.
