Oh yeah, I did my elementary school state report on Alaska (A+, bucko). I've been there a few times too, it's beautiful – bald eagles flying freely, rivers that look like glass, etc.

Bonus story: My friend went to grad school for hospital administration and got an opportunity to manage a clinic in Anchorage. He was married with young children, but needed that first big break. Anyway, it lasted like 20 months before the head physician spazzed out or something and the clinic had to shut down. My friend had to move back in with the folks on the mainland afterwards, but it all worked out.

I watched a tv on it once. Looks fucking shitty. Rampant drug addiction and alcoholism. Drunk eskimos raping everything. Everything costs an arm and a leg. A gallon of milk is like $18. Cant do anything outside a vast majority of the year. Sounds great!

Looking at jobs up there.

How is Fairbanks and Anchorage?

Non nigger replys only.

Thanks
I have a friend who's from Fairbanks, he's the one who told me that Eskimos are called Herbie Nyukchucks. Anyhow, he said in Fairbanks itself it is just like any other American city, but you go out of it and it is still basically undiscovered country that's gorgeous and dangerous.
He said everything is expensive as hell but the money you can make is great.
The cold is unlike anything you can imagine though.
Also the always night or always day times really fucks with you

It gets so cold you'll need an engine block heater:


Be armed while out on your nature walks outside of town (especially if out alone). Attacks are rare but could still happen (grizzlies, black bears, wolves, etc.). Get at least one well-trained dog so they can accompany you and give warning or act as a deterrent.


It's even rarer to be attacked by bear in winter but it happens: https://alaskapublic.org/2022/12/05...uestions-about-carrying-protection-in-winter/

Hunt with others. You don't want bears trying to claim your kill for themselves. Not all bear attacks are fatal but being with others gives you better odds of coming out of it alive (they can shoot the bear if you're attacked, etc.). This is all extremely rare but you still need to plan for it.

So when this board said you were Asian, you're actually an Eskimo?

Nice.

That sounds pretty bad, how expensive are the alcohol and drugs...
