jeffwMississippi governor signs bill to let cis people sue trans people if they use the bathroom
toomanypancakesIf I ever go to Mississippi I guess I’m gonna have to piss on the governor’s mansion instead
nickWhy would you ever do that?
Go to Mississippi I mean, it’s the literal worst state in the worst country.
Kalkaline You don’t know how much that means to me as a Texan. I was thinking we were the worst, but you give me hope.
As a former Floridian, I thought Florida was the worst.
No, wait, I’m pretty sure Florida is still the worst, but Mississippi is going to be joining Florida on Erin’s Do Not Travel list. :(
Florida speed ran to the bottom. Mississippi has been awful from the start. Texas is the disappointment state, it keeps looking like it might turn blue before pulling some bullshit
Cubesthe worst country
This seems a little dramatic
Try being trans, gay, or black here then get back to me.
Looks at Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, etc
just go fuck yourself, how’s that?
This also seems incredibly dramatic
I’m not trying to say that the US is perfect, but do you honestly believe that the US is the “worst” place to be any of the things you listed?
There are plenty of places in the world you would be put to death for being gay. Try asking an immigrant from literally any of those countries if they prefer the US and get back to me.
CileTheSaneWe did it guys! The bar is a millimeter off the floor and we cleared it!
You’re actually arguing that the difference between being put to death and not is a “millimeter off the floor”? That is some privileged nonsense, frankly.
I agree that the US has problems, but hyperbolic doomerism is hardly conducive to changing any of that.
I’m saying “Some places are worse” is not an argument that “This is fine”.
The point being discussed is that this is a terrible law and an example of Mississippi being a shit hole. You are just side tracking the conversation because you don’t understand the function of hyperbole in speech and think talking about how “The US isn’t literally the worst place to live” is somehow a helpful or useful conversation to have in light of the topic art hand.

This is not the comment I replied to. The comment I replied to was essentially saying that MS and therefore the US are not worth visiting, and I think that’s silly.
“This is fine”
I didn’t say this. I actually agree with you that the MS law is terrible, but trying to push back on the general sentiment of the original comment I replied to: saying the US is the “worst” because of something that Mississippi does.

Right: side tracking from the conversation at hand to insist hyperbole is not literal. That does not help and only serves as a distraction.
You realize that a comments section can have more than 1 discussion going on in it, right? It’s not a “distraction” to talk about something else or disagree with a part of someone’s comment.
It’s still a distraction from the topic at hand. I’ll also note that you don’t appear to have any comments in this comment section other than “The US isn’t the worst country” so what is it you think you are adding to the discussion here? Hyperbole is bad because someone might get confused?
I’ve got real bad news about how the rest of the world feels about those things then.
As sad as it is, America is one of the most progressive and diverse nations in the world.
America sucks but have you heard of Haiti?
LucidlethargyThe US is the worst country? Wat? Bro, have you heard of North Korea?
Can we petition to rename it Missipississipy?
Too difficult to pronounce. Let’s just call it Pississippi. There’s too many M states and only one P state anyway 🤷
Bed bugs man
