• Florida. Heat, humidity, stench of water from the sprinkler systems, lousy coffee from the crappy drinking water, most jobs literally don’t allow you to work OT. Many only hire 32 hour people. Terrible drivers, especially all the Qtip bitches that should’ve stopped driving 20 years ago. Redneck Nation. Massive POS politics.

    Fuck Florida.

      Lived in Watertown when I was a kid. My first Halloween there we had to trick or treat in 1 foot of snow. Other than the cold it wasn’t so bad, insanely beautiful landscapes however I did notice a lot of mild racism to Indians.

    Nobody saying Florida? Swamps, gators, slowly sinking into the ocean, home to way too many grumpy old people and crazy drug addicts (see Florida man) and Trumps shitty golf club. Also some of the absolute biggest peices of shit for politicians- DeSantis, Rick Scott, Gaetz ect

      Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi are all shit holes honestly same goes for Houston TX as well. I’m not saying my state of Oklahoma is any better. I lived in California for 4 years and kill to go back however it’s just too expensive

    I used to work at a call center for a nation wide company.

    The answer is absolutely Kentucky. There is really no comparison.

      Idk I think Florida is going to give them a run for their money soon. Insurance can deny claims and coverage more easily now and FEMA’s been crippled.

    Ohio, it’s a statistical fact.

    More people from Ohio have become astronauts than any other state/territory in the world

    Because when youre an Astronaut you can get as far away from Ohio as humanely possible. No one else has that kind of motivation to complete the rigorous training.

    Even before astronauts were a thing. Ohio inspired two men to invent airplanes, because they had already traveled to the East Coast by then, and couldn’t run across the ocean to get further from Ohio. They had to adapt and learn to fly

    There is no universal, objective answer. It depends who you are, your financial situation, your political views, etc.

    That said, the states that suck the most for the most people are conservative places with lots of rural poverty. Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, …

          I disagree. The east coast is quite plainly the Atlantic coast, including part of the South. If you mean Northeast, just say that.

            You can disagree all you want but you’re just wrong. If people say the East Coast they don’t mean the South. Ever. Every single human being. Even you when you’re not being contrarian cuz you’re bored on the internet like this.

    I think all states probably have ok cities in them somewhere, and that it depends on your preferences but I would never live in Alaska.

    And all states have downsides too. Mississippi and Oklahoma have the worst schools. Florida and Texas have crazy politicians. Wyoming doesn’t want you there. Colorado has angry ranchers and pretentious yuppies. California has Bakersfield.

      You’re really stretching there with your last few examples.

      Wyoming your biggest issue will just be a lack of any real culture or metropolitan amenities, plus the winters. But it is beautiful and the people are as friendly as anywhere else.

      Colorado’s problem tends to be hcol even outside the cities, and traffic to get to the mountains. But our government is shockingly functional, and our problems derive from tons of people moving here because it is a great place to live.

      Cali’s problem is definitely high prices and traffic. And kinda shocked you pegged CO as the place to find pretentious yuppies.

      But honestly, I could be happy living in any of these places. Mississipi… would take some work.

      Alaska. Remote, expensive, so cold your car’s tires freeze with the flat spot they had while you were parked so you thump thump thump down the graveled roads until they stretch out, and to paraphrase @poccalyps, ‘ice storms, earthquakes,… and some of the dumbest, most entitled Jesus-humping maga fucks in the country.’

            ah, the good old days.

            as a young Canadian at the time, that was one of the introductory events to the world of politics, for me

            to think that back then that was the craziest shit coming out of the US, and compare that to today
