I’ll humbly quote myself from an earlier comment:
If you accept that the South and the Midwest are legitimate places to live, then you're forced to really consider it, which is difficult -- moving long distances is hard! It's much easier to conclude that those places aren't real options.
- magduf 8y agoThe South is a legitimate place to live, just like Saudi Arabia is. If you want to talk about quality of life, that's another issue. If you're not a gun-loving church-going conservative, you're not going to be very happy relocating to the South. It's already horribly hard to make friends over the age of 30 (this comes up here on HN often), and moving someplace where the locals are diametrically opposed to your worldview is not going to help with that.
- dionidium 8y agoThis response is absurd. It says everything about this conversation and your place in it that you’re not wildly embarrassed to compare the South to Saudi Arabia. This response isn’t like a little wrong, or a bit of hyperbole — it’s egregiously and embarrassingly wrong. It’s not just, like, your opinion, man. It’s a factually absurd, untravelled, ignorant comparison.
- magduf 8y agoNo, it's not. I grew up in the South. If you didn't, you have no right to even say these things.
