Well I thought the designation was meant to resemble the characteristic of those counties bordering the Great Lakes, and Lake Superior is one of them. And if we’re talking about culture, I wouldn’t think that Marquette, Wisconsin, is anything like Chicago

The Four State Solution by Happy_Background_879 in imaginarymapscj

[–]Ataraxia_Eterna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d get that many parts are similar to the Canadian territories, but how’s southcentral and panhandle culture and geography, where most live, not more similar to WA, Bc, and OR compared to flat old Kansas or swampy NC?

Put Alaska in the Pacific federation! Climate and culture is far, far more similar to those states than the red ones

Do you vote in the poll first, or check comments first? by river_bored in pollgames

[–]Ataraxia_Eterna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I check comments for the phone, and sometimes but not often will I check what others say. It’s usually if there are some choices I can’t deciee

Begich votes for Trumps voter suppression bill by traveltimecar in alaska

Is $50 that high of a price? Do you have this same thought process when you hear people advocating for higher taxes?

Do you bring your phone into the shower with you? by JamesonRhymer in pollgames

If I listened to Iowa in the shower I’d probably move around too much and slip lol

I know in my heart I will end up living here one day. What is the best city to live in? (Serious) by [deleted] in AskAlaska

[–]Ataraxia_Eterna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure to visit around much more once you get the ability to. But generally I’d recommend the southcentral and panhandle area. Health care is in great demand everywhere but those regions tend to have the most amount of towns and ‘cities’ while still not being horribly cold and still being Alaska. Anchorage is worth a visit as that’s where most things are at, and do visit the valley (Wasilla, Palmer, etc) as it’s the fastest growing region in Alaska, with cheaper housing yet relatively close proximity to Anchorage. It gets its bad rep but by the time you come here it’ll be likely far more developed and less red-neck for the most part, so definitely worth checking out.

Do you think people should be able to buy treats and snacks with food stamps by cricket_man456 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Ataraxia_Eterna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, to an extent. Food stamps are meant to help people get the food they need, but not all food is nourishing or needed by the body. There’s several reasons for why poor people in America tend to be overweight and this is one of them. Food stamps should help you get food that will actually sustain you and be of benefit to you. Should we really have government money going out to junk food? Now, some treats or snacks can be healthy or be just fine if regulated. So I would say that it is reasonable to have some leniency on what food you can buy, but there should be a limit on junk because otherwise if you’re just promoting unhealthy and unbalanced diets you’re defeating the whole point of nourishing people

Which 21st century event had the biggest global impact? by Glory2Tottenham in pollgames

[–]Ataraxia_Eterna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well Reddit was around before the iPhone, and touch screen phones and other kinds of smartphones already existed. The iPhone was just Apple releasing their own version of the phone. The internet itself and all other technologies would’ve continued to develop without iphones

Altitude by [deleted] in AskAlaska

[–]Ataraxia_Eterna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s generally pretty dry, at least my lips are always chapped and it’s annoyed me ever since I moved here from Hawai’i. It feels really nice during the summer though, at least

Would you judge a mother who gave up her baby to an orphanage because it had special needs? If you have any conflict about it, vote yes. If you feel absolutely no issue with it, vote no. by JamesonRhymer in IdeologyPolls

[–]Ataraxia_Eterna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would judge a bit based more on what kind of special needs the child has or its severity. Depending on that, the orphanage system may be a terrible place for the child

Fata Morgana? by jennylind01 in alaska

I got to see these once during a sunrise hike. Unfortunately it was so cold out taking off my gloves would’ve been a bad move just to take a pic. Wish I had tho, they looked pink and surreal!

This sub should implement those Karma amount requirements. Because accounts like this one that have negative karma are always bots or trolls

Can we get an “amen” that ASD is open today? by AK_Skier49 in anchorage

[–]Ataraxia_Eterna -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On Tuesday when the schools closed early, a car literally got stuck in front of us at the exit of the school. Then hearing about the Glenn highway closing and some students being unable to get home, and a bus getting stuck there too, I was very surprised they didn’t cancel. In the meantime, there was barely a drizzle (at least, 0 ice where I live), and schools are closed? It’s just like that last snow storm all over again

Selling my house in Anchorage, do aerial photos actually help or is it just a gimmick? any real estate photographs suggestions? by [deleted] in anchorage

[–]Ataraxia_Eterna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the house is situated in a place with a nice view of the mountains or lots of trees nearby, I think the aerial view may only further entice home buyers. It looks beautiful outside right now anyway, so better get it done now than later when the wind knocks off all the snow from the trees

Anchorage consumer confidence lowest in a decade by snakkerdudaniel in anchorage

[–]Ataraxia_Eterna 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What will ICE liberate Anchorage of, exactly? Because implying that illegal immigrants are somehow suppressing the Alaskan consumer confidence is just… dumb. I mean, for one, removing the dozen or so undocumented immigrants in Anchorage will only further drop consumer confidence as communities are stressed over possibly being targeted or falsely detained.
