      The sad part is they have a lot of really nice stuff in them. It’s just that the people in them want me not to exist, or, if they concede my right to exist, want me to be an underclass citizen who anyone who isn’t in my reference class can shit on.

        It’s hard to be in the metro areas of these states (Atlanta, Austin, Miami, etc) because they are being held hostage by the state government and are gerrymandered to hell.

        As a Bavarian: Yes absolutely. It’s not like I hate my fellow Germans but from a cultural and historic standpoint, this makes sense. I think it would get a majority in Bavaria and if Germany wants us to go too. Let’s go!

        The francs are pretty chill tho. If your immediate reply to being called Bavarian is to distance yourself from that term you have my respect. If we defederate Bavaria they can stay. It would be only fair if Bavaria has to take Thuringia and Saxony tho and integrate those int the new Bavaria/Austria state.

    Probably only because of my closeness to it probably blinded me too much to see a lot of the decent people that probably exists, but where I grew up. A small coastal town in Telemark, Norway. They are just so goddarn closeminded, unapologetic assholes, casually sexist, ignorant tribal grouped, backtalking rednecks of a people. And I thought that was the uncomfortable norm until I moved just a bit out from there.

    I’m just glad they aren’t very religious on top of that or they would have been completely insufferable. On the other hand, I haven’t seen them racist, ableist, nor lazy. So there are probably worse places in Norway.

    New Zealand has a ‘Shit town of the year’ election and honestly it’s a gamble each year because all the towns are shit.

      I love this answer because it goes for almost every country in the world.

      Also, they think they’re the centre of the country and ate better than everyone else, right!?

        lol this does not apply to Ottawa (Canada). We hate ourselves and know that most of the country forgets we exist. Even the leader of our province forgets we exist 90% of the time

    Madrid. In my opinion, they see themselves as the coolest, the only who matter in Spain, while the rest of us are merely peasants… assuming we exist.

    Problem is, the stupidest people live in the most beautiful areas and make the worst, but also most unique food. But it’s probably St. Gallen.

    Objectively for the US it might be the Kensington area of Philadelphia. It’s the poorest neighborhood of a poor city that became known for a massive open drug and prostitution market. At any time of the day or night you can find tons of people stumbling through the streets out of their minds. People are frequently killed by violence and accidentally hit by cars. The most common drug there “tranq” is literally the horse tranquilizer Xylazine that is resistant to narcan.

    I found two news headlines from days apart side by side that kind of signify how the entire situation is being viewed and addressed.

    “Philadelphia neighborhood worries sinkhole will swallow their cars on Keim Street.”

    “30-foot sinkhole in Philadelphia swallows car.” No kidding.

    I’m from Venezuela. It’s really hard to say, most of the border with Colombia and Brasil is dominated by crime and the law of the Paracos or Guerrilleros.

    I might say La Guajira in Zulio might be the worst region, but also Petare in Caracas is the biggest favela in the world and is way too dangerous, a straight up no-go-zone.

    London Metro definitely, utter shithole. It’s a moneysuck to the extent that I don’t know how the average bloke can survive. Run by gigarich fuckronauts, sold off to foreign criminals; one big £12-a-pint, can’t fucking move for people, money laundering operation.

        That’s just as well cos we don’t get up to much else. Not that we’re total cynics; sometimes we’re happy enough to break into fits of sarcasm.

          This, I got affections to that sarcasm. Besides, I feel that it is usually delivered in a delicate blend of linguistic spices that tickle my senses far beyond that french fries American English.

      Just 100x better than Canadian public transport :'). We just built an LRT line in Ottawa and it’s down more often than it’s working. It has cost the city ridiculous amounts of money to fix it even though it’s brand new

        That was how I read it at first too, but I think they mean the London Metropolitan area, not the transit itself. But as an American, I feel you T_T
