    I imagine Ohio isn’t really that bad. Mostly because I’ve never been there.

      Completely by chance, I’ve lived half my life in various parts of Ohio.

      It’s not hell, but I like other places better overall. There are specific things and people that I miss, but most of those people also left.

      It’s the Midwest. It’s where Americans are bred before they move to the West Coast.

      Ohio is really just like any other Midwest state. The urban areas are on the small but charming, with a surprising amount of stuff to do, but lacking the infrastructure and conveniences of larger metros. The rural areas range from cute little farming communities where everyone is your neighbor, to opiod-ridden backwaters where people struggle to get by.

      I honestly don’t know why it’s such a meme to shit on Ohio when states like West Virginia and Indiana exist.

        We can add Florida and Texas to that list. The reason is, though, probably because Ohio doesn’t really particularly deserve it like those other states.

        Ones a joke, the other is… reality.
