its dreary. its expensive. it always snows. there's no jobs.
1. Not all the time. If you actually look not all of it is dull. For me the dreary parts of alaska are the appeal.
2. Yes. Import taxes and sales tax are a bitch.
4. Jesus Americans are stupid
5. If you actually bother to look you can get a decent job, and more if you get a collage degree. The Slope is also an option if you have the workaholic grindset.

chill out, ive also talked to rads who's been to alaska as well (before tim chased her off the site). also saw some nice cheap plots of land obviously portioned off in some suburbia development somewhere up there as well back in 2020-2021.
She left on her own accord.
She beat me over the head over stupid shit.
So I beat her over the head with her stupid shit.
Evidently fake shit doesn't hurt, but shit you did to yourself really sucks.

Found this out just now, but apparently that great value walmart store brand makes knockoff candy bars. I'm not sure this is an alaska thing but it's real cool for cheapskates like me. They don't have this in the lower 48 so I think it's in certain countries that get this.
Will give a review in the food thread sometime tonight.

its one of those places where you 'have to make your own fun'. good for them thar fishin n huntin.
Guy I know spent six months over there installing gas compressor turbines in the oil industry, and he said what really struck him was the sheer amount of drugs that was offered to him from right after arrival and all the way up to the time he left.

Not much else to do
Apparently not. The areas around the oil and gas fields mostly had bars and illicit gambling establishments.
He also said that there were the hottest and most expensive prostitutes he'd ever seen openly advertised, and also the lowest grade meth-head trash he'd ever seen.
