Been working summers up here last couple years. Highs never quite hit 70. 50s pretty frequent, sudden to 40s or high 30s at night. Though I rarely see that because the sun is still up when I tend to go to sleep. So blackout curtains are a must. Rains a lot. A lot of fishing and hunting, charter boats, cruises, excursions. All expensive if you’re not doing it yourself, which without experience your can’t or shouldn’t. Need to keep a lookout for moose while outside. I’m in a small tourist town, locals range from hippies to chuds, tourists suck but where I make my money. Lots of cars have a plug sticking out the grill to hookup a heater in winter. I can’t imagine doing winter here. Incredibly beautiful, huge mountains next to ocean, vast wilderness and wildlife, but I don’t much care for the culture here, I don’t think I’ll be back but to visit in the future. Oh, and mosquitos. I’m lucky where I am but they are a plague elsewhere. I just get hit with dead fish smells all the time. Older buildings (rare to see things more than 50 years old) are charming wood structures. New ones surprisingly boxy and seem like they’d accumulate so much snow. A lot of Trump flags.

Some buddies and I once spent an evening passing around a bug zapper and having a go at it, to the concern of the one girl present. We were like 22 tbf

Dudes shock

Somehow, Stalin returned

I worked at Amazon over a decade ago, when these were new, it was the first time I saw these things and all I could think was how ugly they were and why would anyone buy them. I’m still thinking that but stricken with the fact that they still exist against all rational thought

Lol that is not Trotsky, that’s the great Russian playwright Anton Chekhov

All this.

You play the cold war mod for Vicky 2?

Without doing any research my memory will have to serve, but as a poor breakaway state of a poor former SSR, they seem to have kept all the old soviet institutions and aesthetic, but with a fraction of the funding. I don’t think they’re doing well but it would be very interesting to see firsthand.

Transnistria maybe?

Thank you!

May Stalin fuck you

Sidewalks would interrupt my precious lawn!

Time for a car gulag. Garage gulag? Garlag? Gulage?
