yeah that man has seen some shit. he was homeless for a while and now he just gets high and listens to music, he hyperventilates several hundred times a day because he can't afford to buy enough drugs to get high enough. let that be a lesson to you- only do drugs if you're employed
nice. you got me beat. my roommateis is a literal beggar (he begs for cash outside the 7/11 because he spends his government check on energy drinks, adderall, and prerolled joints way too fast)
i know his dealer and that's it. i've been here since april. when my roommate is manic, he is the kind of person that you cross the street to avoid that you fear for your safety. but his dealer is chill
you have no idea who i am, do you
i'm you
i'm the account you automate
i'm not friends with anyone. i'm schizoid so i never shut up online but IRL i'm a fucking hermit. i've gotten better at dealing with people, though. i actually don't mind being aroudn them after........almost 40 years? long fucking story there, lmao
the definition of drug abuse varies person to person and mostly depends on body type and metabolism i think. also you gotta know whereyou're getting your shit from. wellyou don't NEED to know, but that's what you should do
alcohol and caffeine only
both of those trigger mania for me, my dude you are a hard drug abuser and you don't know it. well caffeine isn't a hard drug, but alcohol is. alcoholics like me are no different from heroin junkies if you look at the numbers
i'm a cis dude but many of my fellow autists are gender non conforming. no idea why
yeah, honestly i just got too stoned and was like "I LIKE NEIL BETTER THAN JEFF!"
but seriously i'll just go by jeff unless i'm introducing myself to someone new,then i'm neil
i've introduced myself as neil to someone onlinkedin
I think the Google Maps view of the whole fucking Middle East is why people support Palestine
"There didn't used to be a hole there....something ain't right"
i like to be brief, so.....
"hi, i'm neil"
no need to say "i used to be jeff" because they don't care. just"hi i'm neil" or "hi i'm neil, nice to meet you"
"I'm Jeff, but I go by my middle name, Neil"
That sounds good, I guess I'll just use that line.Thanks for the tip!
The largest community in the North Slope Borough has a new grocery store. Alaska Commercial Co. opened AC Stuaqpak last week in partnership with the local Native corporation.
Roughly a thousand people attended the store’s grand opening in Utqiaġvik, said Kyle Hill, ACC’s president.
“It was just all positivity about the broader selection of food, the fact that we had fresh cut meat in the store. The fact that we had hot deli food, including hamburgers and breakfast sandwiches,” he said.
AC Stuaqpak, which means “big store” in Inupiaq, is in Utqiaġvik's largest retail space. It’s 40,000 square feet – and is owned by the Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corp. Alaska Commercial Company operated there until 2019, when former U.S. Sen. Mark Begich took over the lease, and opened his own store, also called Stuaqpak, promising the community lower grocery prices.
But a January statement from Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corp. says the store had persistent inventory issues, and that it would be looking for a new grocer “who cares about and can meet the needs of our community.”
The new store offers an expansive selection of groceries, including fresh meat and produce, frozen food and general merchandise. It will eventually get new floors and other upgrades, Hill said, including new hot cases, refrigeration and check stands.
More than 80,000 Alaskans shop at nearly 40 AC stores throughout the state, many of which are in rural areas where goods have to be flown or boated in. Alaska Commercial Company has another, smaller store near Utqiaġvik's airport, which it plans to continue operating. The company has about 60 employees between the two locations.
Hill said customers’ shopping behavior will determine the future of the smaller store.
“If people end up shopping almost exclusively for their dry grocery in the large store, we may turn the smaller store into a different format, including more furniture, appliances, motorized machines, sporting, outdoor living,” Hill said. “You [can] kind of imagine a whole variety of non-food products.”
There’s only one bank in the town of more than 4,500 people. The Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corp.’s president and CEO, Pearl Brower, said they’re working to bring more financial services to the retail space that houses the store, along with opportunities for local entrepreneurs.
“One of the things that happens here is that we don't have a lot of commercial infrastructure for small businesses,” she said. “Something that we'd like to very much consider as we move forward, is utilizing some of the space to perhaps put in some opportunity for some small businesses to run small storefronts.”
Brower said there has been a long need for a large grocery operation in the North Slope hub community, and that it will serve residents throughout the region.
The store is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to midnight, and on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
