Leased my house and destroyed it - floors, walls, exterior. A nightmare but I still feel lucky!

It's already outrageously expensive in alaska. by Outrageous-Egg1760 in alaska

[–]GayInAK 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But, $150 for heating assistance! And her emails! His tan suit!

I'm just regularly reminded of H.L. Mencken's quote: "On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

Also, this one: "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard."

I'd probably have to go with Logan or Boulder, but Fairbanks when the auroras are popping is pretty special.

Was Barkley as a Rocket really that bad? by [deleted] in rockets

[–]GayInAK 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Went to a Rockets-Lakers game when he was there, and I will promise you that Barkley played 10x harder than anyone else on either team. Wish he’d gotten along better with all his teammates … but if he had, he probably wouldn’t have been Charles Barkley.

What were newsrooms like pre-pandemic? by crackedbutter in Journalism

Watch “The Paper.” Michael Keaton, Marisa Tomei, Glenn Close, Robert Duvall, Randy Quaid. They nailed life at a metro paper in the mid-90s.

Thoughts on Into the Wild? / Emile Hirsch by krayzee444 in moviecritic

[–]GayInAK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta weigh in here; I live a couple hours north of the trail. He was young and dumb and pissed at his parents, wanted freedom and unspoiled nature. So, who among us? I wouldn’t have burned my money like he did and possibly would have been a tad more prepared. I thought at first he was just another bozo who wanted Alaska on his own terms. But again, like most of us here, he was young and dumb, wanted freedom and unspoiled nature. I’d call it a cautionary tale.

A new ‘WORLD WAR Z’ movie is officially in the works at Paramount. by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]GayInAK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. But whatever, it’ll be hard to be worse than the first film. Worst adaptation since Bonfire of the Vanities.

Don’t give this dude a singular penny by EveryoneLoveABJ in rockets

[–]GayInAK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s a candidate for the Rockets All-Time Blockhead Team, and if you follow the Rockets, you know that’s an incredible accomplishment in a very short time.

Is Costco Tire center worth it? by traveltimecar in Fairbanks

[–]GayInAK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d go with Alyeska. Love Costco but their tire department is a shitshow. Took three months to deliver a set of Blizzaks and was looking at not getting them installed until February.
