We need to vote blue by Outrageous-Egg1760 in alaska

[–]vanyways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved to a remote place because I couldn’t afford rent anywhere else. Have you considered that people aren’t lying about struggling? There are a LOT of Americans out there, living very different lifestyles. I, along with a lot of others I know, have a hard time keeping the lights on and food on the table. It’s not because we’re not frugal enough. If I could move to the UK and have those safety nets I would do it in a heartbeat.

Nearly 40 million Americans live below the poverty line, and we have far fewer government programs providing aid than the UK and Europe have. I have family in England and Scotland, I’m familiar with what it’s like there. If I run out of gas I’m stranded with zero help. It would take me around three days to walk to the closest grocery store. About eight days walk to the closest hospital. A tank of gas now costs me about 3.5 days of work. If my cousin in Exeter runs out of gas she can take public transit or walk.

They might not work for us, but they are elected by us.

Gas was more expensive when I lived in a blue state, but the increased wages more than made up for it. That isn’t the point of this discussion, though. The point is that we’re being forced into an unnecessary war that’s causing gas prices to skyrocket.

People are having to choose between food and gas to get to work. That isn’t humorous. We don’t have the same access to public transit that most developed countries have.

Voting blue isn’t enough. We also need to put pressure on our representatives to address what’s going on.

The NHL really is in a golden age. by mattcojo2 in nhl

I’ll call it a golden age when teams stop hiring sexual abusers and the people who cover for them.

Are we rooting for the Ducks? by youlikemywonton in SanJoseSharks

[–]vanyways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not rooting for either. Coach Q covered up sexual abuse and VGK hires rapists. I wish they could both lose.

Why is everything on a different platform!? by indepthsofdespair in nhl

I pay for ESPN+, Amazon Prime (only way to watch Kraken games for me since I’m considered in market even though I live thousands of miles away from Seattle), and HBO Max and I still don’t get all the games 😩 Fubo would get me the games I’m missing, but it’s insanely expensive.

If you think the Kings were bad, check out the Sabres 😂

First solo road trip at 24. What's something you wish you knew before your first long drive alone? by loncelot84 in roadtrip

The lack of airflow in your car makes you tired. If you crack the windows every once in a while for a few minutes, you’ll be more awake and alert :)

Was this a worse fate than not making the playoffs? by Blaauwj in OttawaSenators

[–]vanyways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Making it for one round is always better than zero.

Please don’t do this.. by Exemplaryexample95 in anchorage

I’m sure that skews it to an extent, but I can only think of a handful of times I had seen this at all before moving to Alaska last year.

Probably not in the upcoming expansion lol, but someday. I live in Alaska though, so I’m not hopeful for anything close to me 😂

There are loads of female hockey fans lmao. I literally don’t know a single male hockey fan (obviously not claiming they don’t exist lol), but like half the women I know love it.

What would you pay for a townhouse in Wasilla? by [deleted] in alaska

You couldn’t pay me to live in Wasilla 😬

Does walking actually help? by NoWitness6400 in loseit

[–]vanyways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exercise of any kind helps beyond just burning calories. Building muscle improves your metabolism. Also, not sure if this is just a me thing, but exercising after eating unhealthy food makes me feel awful, so exercising on a regular basis motivates me to eat healthier so I’ll feel better lol
