    I mean, yeah. They’re cold and sparsely populated. Also Alaska is dark for like 23 hours a day several months of the year

      I 100% understand this is bad for normal people but:

      No heat
      No sun
      No Mosquitoes
      No Neighbors

      Huskies and Whales
      Heaven for me

        Dude have you not heard about Alaskan mosquitoes. Like they’re legitimately one of the worst parts of that environment from everything I’ve read seen and talked to from people that I know that have lived there. They’re absolutely ravenous as they have a much shorter lifespan and breeding time due to the severity of weather.

          what the hell!! I have NOT heard about Alaskan mosquitoes and now I’m very afraid. The extreme cold and long dark days can’t get rid of mosquitoes it gives them superpowers!

        Also racism and their way of life dying out after several hundred years of outside forces routinely taking and giving nothing back.

        If you can find a map of the “dry” (no alcohol) areas of Alaska and you’ll probably find them to be extremely similar if not identical.
