Oklafuckinghoma. Heat, tornadoes, ice storms, earthquakes, hail and some of the dumbest, most entitled Jesus-humping maga fucks in the country.
And gonna be in the 100s next week here in Tulsa.
Born and raised! Tulsa is the exception to Oklahoma. Still the most beautiful city I’ve ever lived in, and nicer ever time I go back. But OP has a solid point about the weather. OK gets the worst of all the things.
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
The Ohio class nuclear missile submarine is named for its feared ability to turn any place in the world into Ohio

Warning, this is absolutely brain rot, but also hilarious
Most astronauts only go about 250 miles up, the distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati. That said, Neil Armstrong got a lot further away from Ohio.
You’re seeing the glass as half empty, I see it as half full…
At one point in the orbit you are only 250 miles away from Cleveland.
But at the other end of the orbit that’s 250 miles and the entire planet earth between you and Cleveland. You get a chance to be the farthest human from Ohio, every rotation.
Surely Jim Lovell would have been the Ohian to get the furthest from Ohio? (Apollo 13 altitude record)
👀
Being a Browns fan will do that to you.
You don’t understand. It’s not too escape Ohio. It’s because the void calls. It reminds one of home. The dark, unfeeling, lethal, soul crushing expanse of space reminds one of the home void. We want to bridge between the two. Bring together the V̵̮̈́ ̴̜͑ȍ̷̜ ̴͜͝i̶̲̿ ̴͉̊d̵̺͆
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’ll defend Alabama. I travel through several times a year on the back highways and there’s only one truly shit town we pass. York is a wasteland. Here’s the main drag, and most of those units are empty.
All the other rural towns seem pretty nice. Businesses aren’t shuttered, roads are nice everywhere, people take pride. Contrast that with Mississippi. You could teleport me to a gas station and I could tell if it’s in MS or AL according to how much trash is blowing around.

Ah so you’re white
Black folks are nice to us, don’t look at us with the suspicion I saw 20 years back. Times change.
Know where I experienced the most shocking racism? Manhattan and Chicago. Segregated down to the city block. And NYC wasn’t merely black/white/Hispanic, it was like, Haitians this block, Puerto Ricans that block, and don’t cross the fucking street if that ain’t your hood. Find me a white man in South Chicago, dare ya. Solid blue cities. Imagine that.
Know where I’ve seen the most racial integration? Here in the South. Couldn’t get my head around why there were so many old white folks running around with little black kids. Ex-wife: “I dunno Shalafi. Maybe they’re grandparents?” No, I had never seen so many interracial couples. Hell, of my wife’s friends, there’s only one Filipino husband, rest are white guys. No one even blinks. (Except in Mississippi. Shit’s gone worse since Trump’s second term.)
Our street is an exact racial representation of the area. 70% white, 30% black, squeeze an extra 1% in there for my Asian wife. Most places in this area are like that. There’s no black or white or Hispanic side of town. Asians are fairly concentrated in two areas though. Whatever.
tl;dr: Not going to hear how racist we all are when the whole damned country is racist. Not going to ignore all the progress we’ve made this century.
Misery. Wait, hang on, sorry, I spelled that wrong. Missouri.
You get it. Oklahoma Florida Missouri Mississippi all horrible places
Any state with a GOP supermajority.
Hey now, Kansas isn’t so bad if you are white.
Oh wait.
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.
Florida used to be black on Erin’s trans safety map. It was literally its own “DO NOT GO HERE” category. Unfortunately the only thing that has changed is that it’s no longer alone.
It’s so funny (not in a good way) to see this change - I grew up going to drag shows, there is still so much gay culture here, and it’s such a a diverse place, no matter what axis you spin it on. We know trans people (one of my kids among them, but older people too) and there isn’t much discrimination “on the ground” here, my trans kid got a job the same place my other kids did, and only HR keeps the paperwork with physical sex as gender, in practice they are treated as they choose. And that’s at a nominally religious place. In school too, the teachers and kids did not care, just took it in stride. The outright hostility in Tallahassee is insane, but it doesn’t translate to hostility in the city here. Or not yet at least.
Make Florida Freaky Again. That will be my platform if ever I run for governor.
The stinky water is because they let you use reclaimed water for watering a lawn, it’s hella efficient and good for the plants. Gardens don’t need drinking water. It does smell bad but is a good thing.
What’s not to love? The new Alligator Auschwitz is a glorious new addition, brought to all by our glorious Great Pumpkin (Putkin?)

Been saying it for years. We should’ve left it to the spainards, the spainards shoulda left it to the natives and the natives shoulda left it to the god damn trees.
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
Don’t forget Alligator Auschwitz! I hear they’re selling merch.
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
Please make sure Missouri is added to your damn near perfect list
I grew up in Florida. The neighbors are worse. You just dont hear about them as much.
Mississippi and Alabama tend to compete for the worse state top spot
Mississippi is the anus of the USA.
At least those have the ocean and Huntsville. Like poccalyps said, Oklahoma by far.
The current state?
the state of denial that half the county is in that believes orange shitler will help them.
Anytime related to the “South”. West Coast is chill. East Coast is chill.
Too far down the east coast gets gross. What’s your cutoff?
Personally, I’d say North Carolina.
The east coast is definitely not “chill”
By the numbers, probably Mississippi. Lowest life expectancy, highest infant mortality rate, second highest poverty rate…being ranked 39th in education actually seems to be a bright spot for them.
Wyoming. Corrupt, cold, ugly if you’re not rich, and full of morons who do things like thank coal workers for their service.

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.
What’s wrong with Alaska?
Bakersfield? I think you forgot Redding.
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.
I used to work at a call center for a nation wide company.
The answer is absolutely Kentucky. There is really no comparison.
You can’t just fire off an entirely subjective opinion and not back it up with anecdotes.
