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.
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.
“I went back to Ohio, My city was gone”
You went back to Ohio?!
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, …
Arkansas, don’t forget Arkansas. And Louisiana.
Oh, how could I miss Louisiana? It’s the place with the highest incarceration rate in the world.
A coworker of mine is from Louisiana. We’re in Washington state, and he told me that all the people here bitching about wind turbines and environmental regulations don’t know how good they have it. He’s from a town on the gulf which is basically one giant oil refinery. The stink and chemical pollution is unbelievable. He showed me the “Welcome to Whatever-ville” sign in his hometown, and it’s literally attached to a gantry that carries several chemical pipes over the road.
Misery. Wait, hang on, sorry, I spelled that wrong. Missouri.

BTW, in the book, she hacked off a foot with an axe and cauterized it with a blowtorch. 🤢

Any state with a GOP supermajority.
Hey now, Kansas isn’t so bad if you are white.
Oh wait.
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.
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
I hear ya. PacNW is my home (not childhood) and my heart tears up just thinking of what it would take to get back. 🥹😭

I grew up in Florida. The neighbors are worse. You just dont hear about them as much.

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.
Not even gonna mention that the coastal areas’ve been dredging sand at night to keep it from sliding back into the ocean for decades… 🤮
Let. It. Die. Already.
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.
The current state?

I mean honestly if the words worst and state are in the question the answer is almost always Mississippi.
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.
Mississippi is the worst state I’ve been to. I can’t imagine living there.
Really enjoyed learning about NY queer culture by watching Paris is Burning so thought I’d check out Mississippi Burning to see how marginalised communities express themselves in the South… oh
“Paris Is Burning” is such a fantastic film.
It’s not up for debate. It’s Mississippi.
Mississippi doesn’t have enough character to be the worst. It seems to be bad in every way, but it doesn’t have the flair for actively destructive stupidity that make Florida and Texas what they are.
IMO - Texas, while places like Mississippi, Arkansas, and Oklahoma always rank below, I believe Texas is actively trying to kill itself. Those other states are poorer and more rural. Texas has the resources and money to be one of the most prosperous states. Yet, they keep voting for Greg Abbott (aka piss baby), Ken Paxton, and Ted Cruz. People there are so brainwashed that they believe anyone who is not an uber republican will come and make all the frog gay, let kids poop in liter-boxes, and give all their money to drug addicts. It’s just sad. I finally just gave up on trying to make any difference there and left for the sake of my kids.
A perfect example is my mother-in-law who HATES Greg Abbott. She blames him for leaving the state for dead during snowmageddon. So she just refuses to vote in Governor elections.
My friend who claims they’re a communist has been to Texas twice and loves it. Beats me why.
The poverty makes them feel like they’re in a communist society
I’m not from the states so not really qualified to comment but I would have thought low taxes and large population (including diverse cities like Housten and true blue areas like Austin) would work in its favour.
Other places in the South seem to have all the downsides you mention but none of the positives.
Yes, Texas is actually purple, but it is gerrymander so bad there is no way to win. A perfect example is the district I used to live in, Texas 26. Is was basically Denton County with a little tail going into the Tarrant County to keep it red. Then Democrats got close in a couple of elections. So they redrew the map to cut out the city of Denton, which is a city with a huge liberal arts college. Then they extended it north and west into more republican areas.
Meanwhile the city of Denton was added to the 13th district, which is 40,000 square miles and extends all the way to the panhandle. People in the city would have to drive 325 miles just to visit their representatives office.
Texas 26 Before 2021
After 2021
Texas is five different states held together with scotch tape. If it ever split up, you’d have three blue states and two red.
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” generally means the north east. “The South” is all the states in the south eastern corner of the country, including the coastal states down there. (Where the borderline is between them depends entirely on who you ask)
I disagree. The east coast is quite plainly the Atlantic coast, including part of the South. If you mean Northeast, just say that.

Well huh… I guess you mgiht be a bit wrong.
Edit: To further clarify, everyone in the actual region calls the coastal states the east coast. That includes New England and the Southern states that touch the Atlantic Ocean. I say this as someone who has lived in every coastal state except for Maine and Florida. So if you try to use “the east coast” to refer to New England, at least in the region you’re talking about, people are going to think you mean the states on the coast…
The east coast is definitely not “chill”
the state of denial that half the county is in that believes orange shitler will help them.
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.
It’s been 12hrs. I’m thinking they intend to. 😅 FWIW, I agree with you.
At this point I’m certain the guy is from Kentucky, and just proved his point like a boss.
Only logical explanation, really
details or gtfo
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.
