The weather, the roads, nothing to do, dont see the sun for two weeks sometimes

Ohio might be exactly the same, idk, but thats how I felt about Michigan. Also fuck the lions and the pistons

OH

I think there's a theme park in OH.

UP > ohio > LP
---

Preferably neither, but if I had to choose, OH.

Michigan's one of the few states i definitely never want to live in. Horrible cold weather, and some really fucking stupid laws. I know every state has some, but not nearly as many, nor as enforced.

whichever is less cold

Michigan.

I'd move to Kalamazoo and get a job at Bells.

Or Grand Rapids and work at Founders.
---

I already live in Ohio.

It's ... kind of shit, to be honest, but the cost of living is low.

Hey Kalamazoo is where I lived!

Michigan seems to have a lot of crime but Ohio seems so boring.

No. There is Michigan's Adventure but it's a baby compared to Cedar Point

It's a 2 hours away.
It's on the other side of the state.

So I guess that depends on your definition of "far".
---

Neither.

Having said that, I moved to Ohio last month. Cant even drink the fucking water because apparently it gives you cancer.
---

I know nothing about either state, hell i know nothing about near on all of the states.

I live in Indiana. I'd rather put a gun in my mouth than live anywhere else in the Midwest, or even America. I've already been hospitalized once for suicidal inclinations, who knows.
---

so you really like indiana huh? but why?
---

I don't really give a fuck about the whole state of Michigan so I'll stay in Ohio.

Ohio has two major theme parks. King's Island and Cedar Point.

I live in Indiana, and my family used to go to both theme parks frequently when I was a kid.

Rust Belt? No. Definitely further south. Warmer and less post-industrial.

Just to the east of it.
The apartment I'm in is more for adults. No parties or loud noises.

I live next to several amusement parks in Cincinnati Ohio. The drinking water is clean and the people are friendly.

There is a bit of an upper class influence and they generally influence schools with their spoiled racist kids. Avoid snobby schools. The laws are annoyingly Conservative every now and then (the hours that you can buy booze, no marijuana).

The you have to avoid areas where you could get shot for being white.

Generally anywhere you can find a good mix of black and white people is pretty good.

The price of living is generally ok, but decent medical care is out of the budget if you're lower class. If you're moving, consider Toronto Canada.

Go to Bells brewery! You'll like it much more!

I don't drink though, so unless they have a quality selection of pop, I will pass.

There is One Well Brewing that has a nice selection of board games though.

I'd assume that Ohio has a slightly better outlook for software engineers but I would have to live in one of the bigger cities like Cincinnati or Cleveland.

This seems appropriate for this topic

I have dirty pipes that spew brown water from time to time but other than that it's really clean, no other states can frack our aquifers so...

Wow dude...hey can you you tell me more what that's like? I mean the suicidal inclinations and all. I'm just kind of interested to know more in case if I'm ever in that kind of situation. And yes...im actually being serious here.

Lived in Michigan until I was 24. Never again.
---

You're asking if I'd rather live in shit or vomit. None is very pleasant.
---

Ohio if i had to pick, but I don't want to live in either one.
---

Ohio by a long shot. Living in Michigan is like living in a war zone.

No, I hate Indiana. Completely and utterly. I regret ever being born here. You're surrounded by pent-up hostility and people who constantly claim they're Christian but will sooner stab you in the back as soon as look at you. Everyone is secretly miserable because all the interesting places are surrounded by miles and miles of cornfield. Even then, the state motto is literally

"You have to go through us to get some place better."

Sure. I've lived with clinical depression for about 25-26 years. My mother tells others that she hasn't seen me happy since I was still a pre-teen. Something like suicidal thoughts or attempts didn't happen with me until I was in my early 20s. This tends to happen when you've never had any friends and never felt like you belonged in any school or group. That tends to happen when you didn't have a father growing up, which was the case with me. This is further worsened when you take into consideration that I also grew up with an older sister who physically and mentally abused me.

To reach a point in which you consider suicide usually comes after years and years of hopelessness. Sure, there are some statistical outliers where you see some teen jump off a bridge because he was bullied, but more often than not, depression is a slow-acting but very fatal poison that destroys you from the inside over the course of years. You see life as a zero-sum game, because zero good things have happened to you. I have also been afflicted with four years of insomnia. The eye bags convey this well.

Somehow I don't think that the state you lived in mattered in this case.

So...how's it like in a mental ward?

I grew up in Columbus Ohio and its a great city. I love Ohio. People are friendly. Theres lots to do. And cost of living is really great.

The quintessential American. They see mental illness and crippling suffering like Vincent Price does with witches. They do not care about you, they offer no sympathy or empathy, and they couldn't give a shit about you in any reality they inhabit. The quintessential Christian America.
