I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country. It got me wondering how many people I’m accidentally disparaging when I don’t mean everyone in said state or region is terrible. So… Please be as specific or obtuse as your privacy filter requires. I’ll start:
I’m in the Bay Area, specifically Oakland. Despite Bay Area hate from some posters, I think it’s great. How about you?
Also what’s your date of birth and mother’s maiden name?
And the name of my first pet and my elementary school for good measure.
April 1st, 1969. Crapper. Why do you ask?
Texas.
It’s okay. I don’t blame people for hating our legislature, just try to remember that not all Texans are shitty people.
Howdy neighbour. The same goes for me and many people I know in the Bayou State. The legislature especially recently makes me want to barf.
Nice try NSA

San Antonio, Texas. Disparage away. Any chance of change happening is incredibly slim. My city only had about 14.81% turnout during our last primary election.
This is by design. Voter fatigue is very real.
That’s depressing. Cheers.
Given the time you posted this, you’re going to get biased replies
Inevitable.🤷♂️Literally asking US Lemmies, I somehow missed that.
Not really? Most people in the US are awake at the same time. Posting at 2am EST will get you biased results
Posting at a time where most Europeans are awake and most Americans are asleep will also get you biased results. The Earth is round. Like I said, it’s inevitable. Or am I misunderstanding you somehow?
Read the question. It’s asking Americans for their information at a time when half of Americans were asleep.
Ah yes.
In a house.
DFW area of Texas. There’s a lot that’s good here, but the number of people who combine various levels of being small-minded and short-sighted are indeed very frustrating.
Methdesto, CA
Oakland makes this city look like Carmel by the Sea. 🤣

Bruh I’m in Hemet, CA. All desert and tumbleweeds but hey at least I can afford to live here
San Diego
Hi neighbor. I’m in Temecula.
There are dozens of us!!!1
Switzerland
So it’s true. The USA has colonized the rest of the planet. Howdy neighbor!
A suburb north of Denver.
You are going to find a metric fuck-ton of political diversity in Colorado. While it somewhat follows a fairly standard pattern of cities being blue and the countryside being red, it gets much more complicated than that here. (The elevation and mass quantities of craft beer does strange things to a human after a time.)
Yeah, Colorado (along with the New England states) is one of few places in the US where rural does not necessarily mean red.
Washington State
Oregon here.
Have a lot of friends in the bay area and have visited Oakland a few times. Lovely place. Fuck the haters!
Man, the closest I ever give to my location is in the south, in the Appalachians. Nobody needs to know more than that online, and fuck anyone that doesn’t like it lol.
Every state here has dumb shit going on all the time. Political stupidity, economic stupidity, environmental stupidity, you name it, there’s something stupid going on in any given subject matter in most states. You find one that’s great at one thing, they’ll be horrible in another. Mind you, I’m talking the people; the land itself is incapable of stupidity, what with being mostly dirt and plants.
Anyway. If you’re worried about disparaging people in a given state, just do what I do (and just did). Blame the idiots in California for a given issue, but don’t specify who you think the idiots are. Nobody objects to those other people that are idiots being disparaged. Why would they? Those other people are morons.
That’s not even a joke. I mean, it’s meant to be vaguely humorous, but it’s legit.
San Diego, carne asada fries in hand, ready to put on my thickest winter coat when it hits sub 60 degree temps.
