    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

            My smart watch likes to remind me frequently that I had a "stressful" day and to try to do better tomorrow. I'm like "bitch this is my baseline. Lower your expectations."

                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, ...

                  "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.

                        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

                          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.

                                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.

                                    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.

                                      Alaska. Remote, expensive, so cold your car's tires freeze with the flat spot they had while you were parked so you thump thump thump down the graveled roads until they stretch out, and to paraphrase @poccalyps, 'ice storms, earthquakes,... and some of the dumbest, most entitled Jesus-humping maga fucks in the country.'
