NateNate60What region of your country is the worst?
Otome-chanwashington dc
HopeOfTheGunbladeAs cities go, I found New York to be worse on a few days visit. Smelled terrible, and if there was a window open, at any hour of the day or night I could hear sirens. Most of my memories of DC are the subway, which was decent, and marching through the streets / locking down buildings with the group I was with. What's awful about it in your experience?
the government lol. I was making a joke. I've never been there, I'm sure physically it's a nice place (dc, not ny).
Texas or Florida
The capital area.
The capital. People there are such assholes. So entitled.
Explorer_Entity'Red' states. Texas, Florida, etc.
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.
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.
NotSteve_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
FUsernameMay not be the most popular opinion in this thread, but hell I love British people hating... stuff.
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.
Bavaria
HelixNebulaWe should just give Bavaria to the Austrians.
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!
To be fair, I have never been to Bavaria, but the few interactions I had with Bavarians weren't painting a positive picture. I worked in a theme park in northern Germany on the weekends while I was still in school and my friendly "moin." was answered with a "Das heisst servus, Junge!". Maybe they were just drunk, though. So no bad blood to my southern friends. My previous comment should be taken as friendly banter.
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.
Flevoland (the Netherlands). It has Urk and Almere, what's more to say?
A marvel of engineering, yet we put Almere on top of it.
mhdAny Autobahn.
The capital, everything is so expensive there..
I love this answer because it goes for almost every country in the world.
Also, they think they're the centre of the country, right!?
they think they're the centre of the country and ate better than everyone else,
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
HausDid you guys have an NHL team at one point? The Monarchs or the Tigers or something?
IgnacioMadrid. 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.
Are you saying their hubris makes them the worst? Or is it actually terrible in Madrid and the locals are unaware?
More about the former, in my opinion.
New Zealand has a 'Shit town of the year' election and honestly it's a gamble each year because all the towns are shit.
Edmonton
fearObjectively 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.
MiddleWeighFor social idealogy the American South takes the cake for stupidity.
Germany: Probably my old hometown of Chemnitz
Shitting on the federal state it's in (Saxony) is very common among other Germans, especially from former West-Germany. I dont think it's that bad here tbh.
Except for Chemnitz. What a depressing grey blob of a city. Historically, it was fairly important, Germanys first locally built steam engine came from there and it was the workbench of Saxony, back when Saxony was an industrial and economic center.
However, this is no more. Nowadays, after having been bombed to the ground and mismanaged to hell by the Soviets, Chemnitz is just an all around ugly and dirty city. Pretty much no noteworthy historical landmarks, fairly depressed people all around, a deep split in the population between political extremes and little perspective for the future.
Not that I dont understand how the situation came to be, but damn is it one ugly city.
PsymonkeeScotland. Just insert the Groundskeeper Willie meme here and that should cover it.
Nice enough place but people can be so adversirial within in the same city, region or coast depending on the issue at hand. Some really annoying polarising opinions with seemingly no room for negotiation?
Maybe it's an older generation and rattling their cages though? Here's hoping.
Anti Weeb PenguinThe Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
GranixoAraucanía (Chile 🇨🇱), does not matter your skin colour, language or religion, nobody is safe there.
Special mentions:
-
Talca, every single bad thing that happens in my country happens there first (COVID, floodings, forest fires, etc). It’s a common joke among chileans that we should just “Blow-up Talca” or that “Talca doesn’t exist”.
-
Estación Central (Santiago), you take your bus or train as soon as possible and you get the hell out of there, because the odds of you getting robbed (or even worse, stabbed 🔪) by staying too long are very far from 0. Do not ever go near that place at night time. 🌃🚫
