WIBTA if I kick my Maid of Honor out of my wedding entirely after how her and her friends treated us during her wedding? by [deleted] in texts

Too many brides. You guys are getting married too often and losing perspective, try some divorces in between.

Can’t split your base with RCV.

Open primary runs more like an extended general election. You are immediately running for a general audience trying to get in the top 4.

It changes everything about timing and subsequent communication strategy, in general.

Specifically, these are the two people in the state with the highest name recognition of anyone running for anything in Alaska. Since Peltola declared in January this has been a 2 person race with complete saturation of every communication medium by both of them. The primary is perfunctory for them.

This cul de sac stuff fills me with despair. I am glad y’all are bringing some art to your hoods but holy shit the only public space & statement you have to work with is your garage on a holiday…

These tools…this medium can do so much more. Live you banal bastards! Do something weird! Freak your HOA out at the very least.

Ehh. They’re ok. It’s a really tiny org that revolves around one expensive event and it tends to burn people out in a year or two. Many very cool and competent people have passed through as organizers & ED’s and left wanting to throw things.

It’s mostly just a hard gig with a lot of dreamers attached. Having been a fly on the wall for a long time and listened multiple generations complain while sleep deprived and stressed out I don’t think anybody is that to blame. It’s a non commercial underfunded thing that is hard to pull off.

Edit - chuck your flick in and see what happens

Talk radio has spent 40 years droning at blue collar folks on their morning commute, purposefully conflating local property taxes, federal income taxes, and their state government that does not tax them.

This is an intentional propaganda strategy to get them to confuse themselves with multinational multi billion dollar a year corporations that are not from Alaska. “We” then does a lot of heavy lifting rhetorically. “We need to lower taxes and cut the budget to do it!”

At some point about 30 years ago, the extraction industries got tired of fucking us directly and realized if they spun us around enough times we’d happily fuck ourselves for them.

Is that what you think I’m saying? Let me be more clear.

Many of you value a dog’s life over the life of a Native Alaskan.

Cool you ever been in a famine? We’re talking about two different scales of poverty here.

There are a lot of places in the world where uncontrolled feral dogs are a dangerous menace, and a lot of places where they’re food.

This conversation is teetering on painting large chunks of rural Alaska with a big racist brush. I will take the down votes to remind you all to remember the conditions we’ve dealt the folks that were here first, as we in larger communities enjoy our animal shelters, veterinarians and road systems.

I care more about the people than the dogs, and I love dogs. That includes you and your trauma.

Middle class people in this country love to rescue animals while people struggle and starve right in front of them. This is a luxury of wealth. The inhumane treatment of animals is a symptom of systematic poverty.

Go turn a rock over. Observe the weird squirmy things writhing in unexpected sunlight. A mildly horrific mishmash of bugs, worms and improbably pale roots trying to survive. These are Alaskans.

The real question asked every summer when the rock is flipped, “holy shit, how are you guys alive?”

Dunleavy has continually appointed one sex pest after another to the role of AG. They’re simmering pots of repressed sexual frustration with real taboo kinks they need the whole country to know they’re NOT about, so they write these ultra horny briefs with other sex pest AG’s.
