That is so disturbing

There is literally nothing to do in many of these communities during winter but drink and beat up your kids. When it is -80° outside you are not going to do anything unless your life is on the line. I've been out working on a ship in -20F and fuck everything about that. At -40° the water in your skin instantly freezes. I'm not brave enough to internalize what -80 does to you. I do not get cold any more from my time up there.

I've been in -45C a few times before. The thing that always surprises me is how still everything is, how muffled everything is.
