Everyday of my life brings me one day further from the day before I moved to NYC. So today, like every day since then was a good day.
I do not recommend West Virginia.
AstralWeekends@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Just moved to Indiana, can confirm.
DadVolante@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Indiana is funny 'cause Parks and Rec really didn’t have to exaggerate how annoying they can be there.
Hoosiers are… something
Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No, you stay in the US
LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah nawh mate.
MrBusinessII@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Move up to NWI, it’s more like an extension of Chicago
fatcat420@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I got out of Indiana a few years ago and moved to civilization on the coasts. Godspeed.

I live in a small town outside pittsburgh about 45 mins. I lived in a city my entire life from 18 to 36. I bought a house here and it’s quiet, but holy shit the people here are ignorant AF. When I say ignorant, I don’t use that term like rude, I mean literally dumb and uneducated. NO ONE around here can even spell. Fb is hilarious with the spelling they come up with or they will use a word that sounds similar to the big word they are trying to use but not quite right. Some day, I’m going to compile a list. They hate any race that isn’t white, they are misinformed, religious in thought but drinking every night, TERRIBLE parents… I yelled at my neighbor because her 3 year old son was half a mile down the road playing by himself on a 30 foot tall dirt pile and she was nowhere to be seen. When I yelled at her she said and I quote “iz he not allowed down thur or somethin?” I called the police and they came and told her she had to be outside when he was outside and she has been ever since. I’m sure she hates parenting. Trump support everywhere especially after he’s now a convicted rapist. It’s insane. I’m pretty outcast, i speak out when I see dumb shit, especially people selling these stickers. I call them white trash. People who know me personally respect me and I’ve won 1 or 2 over but man it’s exhausting. Had to buy a few guns when shit was getting real scary with the rednecks wanting to overthrow the govt. I’m surrounded by rednecks with guns. I miss the city. Sure there are all types of shitty people but atleast you get culture, good food, beautiful views, activities. We drive up every so often but it’s not the same. If our house wasn’t so big and beautiful and old compared to what I would get in the city for 3x the cost, I would move. Fuck these hillbillies.

Rednecks were originally left wing pro-union workers originally. So these people don’t deserve to be called rednecks.
Osirus@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Rednecks are farmers given that name from having their heads down while plowing their fields. They were Klan back in the day and are right wing extremists now. These people deserve much worse than being called a derogatory name.
sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I’m starting to think there might be a reason some people assumed I was a racist redneck when I argued why I like small towns more than cities. Is that seriously what its like in some places? Here you will see the occasional truck covered in trump stickers but that’s pretty much it. There’s plenty of different cultures and views here. Not as much as a city of course, but that’s as expected.
PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Yeah, but then you have small towns like Boulder Colorado which are much more liberal than you would find even in some larger cities.
And I grew up in the country near a couple of small towns, and we used to relentlessly make fun of rednecks and the illiterate farmers who live near the towns. One of the local high schools however had a dragon as a mascot. Apparently back in the 1980s and '90s, that was not okay because we accuse them of being KKK all the time. That high school could never live that one down.

Dog whistle included!

I’ve lived in the city most of my life. Had a friend that lived in the country that told me to come out and visit. He was convinced that I needed to buy a gun because how dangerous it supposedly is.
I shit you not, the next morning he was threatening his neighbor with a gun. Turns out there is a ton of crime in the country. Nobody has a job so they constantly steal from each other.
MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 1 year ago
People where I live now are genuinely afraid of the city for sure. There is some merit, but only if you go looking to step in shit.
For me, I’m largely desensitized to city stuff from a lifetime, and I’m tired. I don’t like it anymore.
Blastasaurus@lemm.ee 1 year ago
He’s got that thousand-yard-squint.
Ilovethebomb@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Thousand yard squint, that’s brilliant.

Not inbred looking enough
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What are you talking about?
The guy looks like his parents are alcoholic siblings.
Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
He’s talking about Eyes-too-close-together disease.
Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m not scared of cities, but there is something to be said about being able to get away from people…
Riding my bike in the city is way more annoying than when I ride on a gravel/dirt road in the countryside with animals and scenery
InternetUser2012@midwest.social 1 year ago
And the f150’s you do see hauling shit are hauling loads that a f350 has no business hauling.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Do fake country guys really wear henleys? I like henleys.
CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Nah, you did bad research. 🤨 But I do like that video. That’s a henley, henley definition: A collarless pullover shirt, characterized by a round neckline and a placket about 3 to 5 inches long and usually having 2–5 buttons. It essentially is a collarless polo shirt.
Country clothing is usually very simple, practical. Like the henley. It is a far too convenient piece of clothing to be owned by any one group! 🙂 I don’t like henleys, I love henleys. Just don’t wear it in combination with a dumbass cowboy hat. 😂 Or camo. 🤢
Stinkywinks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They are all so tough until they actually have to be around people. Then they gotta strap up to get a slurpy.
dojan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Now make a sexy version.
Gamey@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Why is his downvoted? I wanna see a fat Redneck wearing topless! 😂
dojan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Haha, I get why it’s being downvoted. It could sound like I’m endorsing the attributes of the costume.
I was just poking fun at the fact that all halloween costumes come in a “normal” version and a “sexy” version that’s just tighter fitting and less dressed.
TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I see they know my ex husband before the additional 300 lbs.
satan_6661@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Try that in a not large town?
sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I don’t blame anyone for being scared of specifically american cities. They are genuinely a nightmare. That’s why I live in a town of about 15k people.
Sunforged@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Such a nightmare, my wife is taking our kids to a concert at the zoo today. So horrible!
sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
The problem with american cities is the terrible public transportation. That’s most of why I hate them.
zammy95@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The scariest part of going to the city is driving if you don’t do it often. That’s… All I can think of. I guess getting lost? I can do that in the woods too though
sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
The scary part is that driving is so chaotic in american cities. I drive a lot and its still awful to me. Even if you ignore how much less safe it is than a small town, it takes ages to get anywhere; and of course you can’t walk anywhere either because its all designed for cars. It is absolutely a nightmare compared to where I live.
BlackNo1@lemmy.world 1 year ago
lmfao oh no so scary
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Why are you scared of cities?
sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Not cities in general, just american ones because they are so car centric, yet they all still somehow suck at driving and nearly kill me at every turn.
jscummy@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I don’t think scared is the right word but everything about driving in a city sucks. Struggling to find parking or having to pay, taking 30 min to drive 4 miles, shitty beat up roads
threadloose@midwest.social 1 year ago
Meh. I live out in the country, and the only scary thing about cities to me is the traffic. Even NYC was fine outside of Times Square, and I took public transit. The only place I really hated was Orlando, but that was because of the exhausted Disney kids. It was overwhelming for everyone.
sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
The traffic is the main problem to me. It is just so, so much worse than where I live. I was exagerrating which people didn’t seem to understand, but it makes it an unpleasant experience to visit most cities here.
Gamey@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As a european I would be scared of America in general, I mean is a heavily armed Redneck neighbor really that much saver than a heavily armed street gang?
PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The murder rate in the countryside is often higher than in the city.
However, this does not mean either is safe. But cities have the density of violence. Here’s Chicago from January through June 1st of this year:
The 641 shootings recorded in 2023 so far is also the lowest total for this time period since 2020, according to CPD data.
ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lived in downtown Minneapolis the last few years. Still never felt unsafe walking around. Safety is dependent on where you go within the city.
As long as you don’t do anything stupid, you’re pretty good.PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Yeah my city went from being the third safest in the US to over 1,400 shooting incidents last year and they don’t even know how many murders, they’re still finding bodies.
Also Trump got a hard-on for our town and decided to make it centerpoint of his campaign for like 2 years and he called us terrorists. Fun stuff.
missveeronica@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
That looks like nothing I’d wear.
Beowulf@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I hate cities because of the amount of idiots driving there. If it were harder to get a driver’s license then I wouldn’t mind at all
BigNote@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Fair play. That said, you get used to it.
EhList@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The guy pictured who sings about small towns grew up entirely living in cities.
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
He needs Oakleys, a goatee, and an antivax Facebook profile frame to complete the costume.
Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 1 year ago
And about fifty pounds of weight
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And a search history littered with bear cub porn.

You forgot the confederate flag!

Or maybe a Punisher tattoo.
