That’s a very different experience then I had living in the cold as fuck.
When I was in Yellowknife, it was easier to walk or bike than to drive. Between plug time and idle time, you could just walk or bike faster. Plus you’re not spending a fortune on hydro and gas for a short drive.
I mean, obviously Yellowknife is a pretty big city for the north; but if it’s a 3 mi town then nowhere is more than a 40 minute walk or 15 minute bike away. If 3 mi town is an expression and not a size, maybe just take your sled?
Also a big part of me being in the north was embracing nature and the elements, I get that might not be why you’re up there.
Finally, you’re the 20 of the Pareto principle; if it’s not about you, it’s not about you.
None of you are changing anything by whining through memes. Just alienating others.
It’s not about you as well.
