grocery stores could give ND people a big break by putting a sign in the front door, like, “hey, aisle 14 changed, don’t spend 4 minutes staring at yogurt that’s supposed to be juice”

I just had the strangest experience. I walked into a coffee shop that is (unbeknownst to me) Russian-owned. Everyone looked like me. I’ve never seen so many blonde-haired, blue-eyed people In one place EVER. It didn’t feel real. 😂

Fun fact: today I learned that doctors use the fat globules in your boobs as a roadmap, so getting a mammogram done after losing weight is harder for them.

I still have my VHS copy. I think I bought it around ‘94, used, in a video store. I watch it…probably 3 times a year. It will forever be in my top 5.

Thursday I went to the gym and there was a giant table of pizza and a dj set up on the stairs playing terrible music. Today, there’s…a bridal show? Definitely time to switch gyms 😂

I guess I don’t see it that way when it’s something that fluctuates and is never guaranteed. It’s a cash dividend from a fund that someone was smart enough to set up back in the day. I can also see how it falls under that definition. It is proposed more as a COLA for residents.

It definitely makes a difference, but I also saw it as kind of a placation strategy. “Well, we’re not getting NOTHING from big oil being here.” I mean, if big oil left Alaska it would be devastating b/c it’s such a huge part of the workforce there, but it’s also just as evil

The Permanent Fund Dividend is not UBI. I lived in Alaska for 32 years, and the biggest PFD check I got was $2000. Which is not nothing, but that’s what each resident gets for a whole year. Not even close to UBI, especially for the cost of living there.

I’m gonna start wearing a bandana. I’m going to be a bandana guy. Maybe wear short shorts and a gray sweatshirt like it’s 1988. They’ll say hey, it’s bandana guy and I’ll say hey.
