Hot doesn't really bother me because it means I'm not cold. Maybe it would be different if I wasn't cold 95% of the time.

You definitely don't live anywhere near me. It's hot here. Like, so frickin' hot. Trust me, you wouldn't like it.

It's hot AF here. The problem is everywhere I go has their fucking AC set to meatlocker so the instant I go inside all the heat gets sucked out of my body. I go outside every half hour or so to warm back up.
