    Having lived in Ohio for 30 years, its honestly not that bad I dont understand the hate? I’ve been to most surrounding states and I feel like its better than Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky. I havent been to Pennsylvania yet though.

    Ok I’ll just say it, I stan Ohio. Haters gonna hate.

        I’ve only visited either state and Michigan had a HELLUVA lot more going for it. It’s not even remotely close.

        And I Hate U of M. (I mean I hate the Buckeyes too, who calls themselves “THE” Ohio State? No on else wants to call themselves that shit.)

        The biggest tourist attraction in Michigan is the sand dunes. Litterly a pile of sand is all Michigan has to offer.

        I’ve been to well over 30 states (it’s been a while since I got an official count) and stayed in some for nearly a year

        I read somewhere that Ohio is like the US on default and I agree! It has a some of everything. It has lakes, coastline and rivers. Suburbs and cities. Factories, forests, and farms. All four seasons but they aren’t known for being extreme. No crazy natural disasters like hurricanes, fires or earthquakes. Even politically we’re balanced enough to be a swing state. A flag that’s more recognizable than plain blue with a hard to see logo in the center.

        Ohio might be mid, but that isn’t always a bad thing

          Charleston is legitimately the only redeeming part of the US South between Richmond and New Orleans though. Atlanta is… Just OK.

      I don’t know why people act like it’s bad to like a certain area. I enjoy it here. If people don’t, that’s fine. If they want to live somewhere else then I hope they can move to that place.

      Whenever someone says state X is better than state Y, they’re saying X has things about it that they prefer. Once again this is fine, but there is no objective standard that one state is better than another (just like with countries – “America is the greatest country in the world” is extremely cringe).

      True: it is honestly not that bad that you don’t understand the hate. Hate isn’t a good thing to understand.
