-- Trapped in Indiana
Just moved to Indiana, can confirm.
Move up to NWI, it's more like an extension of Chicago
Edit: but without all the taxes
I got out of Indiana a few years ago and moved to civilization on the coasts. Godspeed.
No, you stay in the US
Yeah nawh mate.
Dog whistle included!
Should have been adult child sized
Indeed
People where I live now are genuinely afraid of the city for sure. There is some merit, but only if you go looking to step in shit.
For me, I'm largely desensitized to city stuff from a lifetime, and I'm tired. I don't like it anymore.
Do fake country guys really wear henleys? I like henleys.
Edit: I did research. Thank god he was wearing a long-sleeve tee and not a henley.
Nah, you did bad research. 🤨 But I do like that video. That's a henley, henley definition: A collarless pullover shirt, characterized by a round neckline and a placket about 3 to 5 inches long and usually having 2–5 buttons. It essentially is a collarless polo shirt.
Country clothing is usually very simple, practical. Like the henley. It is a far too convenient piece of clothing to be owned by any one group! 🙂 I don't like henleys, I love henleys. Just don't wear it in combination with a dumbass cowboy hat. 😂 Or camo. 🤢
That looks like nothing I'd wear.
I hate cities because of the amount of idiots driving there. If it were harder to get a driver's license then I wouldn't mind at all
Fair play. That said, you get used to it.

I live in a small town outside pittsburgh about 45 mins. I lived in a city my entire life from 18 to 36. I bought a house here and it's quiet, but holy shit the people here are ignorant AF. When I say ignorant, I don't use that term like rude, I mean literally dumb and uneducated. NO ONE around here can even spell. Fb is hilarious with the spelling they come up with or they will use a word that sounds similar to the big word they are trying to use but not quite right. Some day, I'm going to compile a list. They hate any race that isn't white, they are misinformed, religious in thought but drinking every night, TERRIBLE parents... I yelled at my neighbor because her 3 year old son was half a mile down the road playing by himself on a 30 foot tall dirt pile and she was nowhere to be seen. When I yelled at her she said and I quote "iz he not allowed down thur or somethin?" I called the police and they came and told her she had to be outside when he was outside and she has been ever since. I'm sure she hates parenting. Trump support everywhere especially after he's now a convicted rapist. It's insane. I'm pretty outcast, i speak out when I see dumb shit, especially people selling these stickers. I call them white trash. People who know me personally respect me and I've won 1 or 2 over but man it's exhausting. Had to buy a few guns when shit was getting real scary with the rednecks wanting to overthrow the govt. I'm surrounded by rednecks with guns. I miss the city. Sure there are all types of shitty people but atleast you get culture, good food, beautiful views, activities. We drive up every so often but it's not the same. If our house wasn't so big and beautiful and old compared to what I would get in the city for 3x the cost, I would move. Fuck these hillbillies.
Rednecks were originally left wing pro-union workers originally. So these people don't deserve to be called rednecks.
Edit: had to double check. There were multiple meanings including the coal miners I am referring to. Apparently it could also mean white sun burned farmers in the 19th century
I'm starting to think there might be a reason some people assumed I was a racist redneck when I argued why I like small towns more than cities. Is that seriously what its like in some places? Here you will see the occasional truck covered in trump stickers but that's pretty much it. There's plenty of different cultures and views here. Not as much as a city of course, but that's as expected.
Yeah, but then you have small towns like Boulder Colorado which are much more liberal than you would find even in some larger cities.
And I grew up in the country near a couple of small towns, and we used to relentlessly make fun of rednecks and the illiterate farmers who live near the towns. One of the local high schools however had a dragon as a mascot. Apparently back in the 1980s and '90s, that was not okay because we accuse them of being KKK all the time. That high school could never live that one down.
I've lived in a range of population centers, from mid sized towns of about 30k, to cities in the millions, and now in a small town of 5k spread through the entire valley. Its different strokes for different folks. The city was nice with lots of things to keep me occupied, but I could barley afford to do anything because my tiny apt cost 2.5k a month. Cities would be great if the CoL was addressed. Smaller towns on the other hand offer me plent of unspoiled nature to explore and a tighter knit sense of community while allowing me to live comfortably.
Each has its benefits and generalizing one side or the other doesn't do it justice.
He's got that thousand-yard-squint. Very cool and masculine.
Now make a sexy version.
I'm no conservative, but I wouldn't want to live in the city. If some shit goes down, people in the city would be fucked. With all the craziness in the world these days its not far fetched. Depending on what part of the "country" you're in, people leave you alone for the most part. The poorer areas out here can definitely be dangerous though.
Well all that shows is that you don't have to be conservative to be scared of cities.
Don't sell random people on country life. If everyone moves out to the country, it ceases to be the country.
My comment isn't going to get people to come out to the country. When they realize they gotta drive more than 10 minutes to get to anything, they wouldn't even think about coming.
I don't blame anyone for being scared of specifically american cities. They are genuinely a nightmare. That's why I live in a town of about 15k people.
lmfao oh no so scary and loud.
Why are you scared of cities?
The scariest part of going to the city is driving if you don't do it often. That's... All I can think of. I guess getting lost? I can do that in the woods too though
The scary part is that driving is so chaotic in american cities. I drive a lot and its still awful to me. Even if you ignore how much less safe it is than a small town, it takes ages to get anywhere; and of course you can't walk anywhere either because its all designed for cars. It is absolutely a nightmare compared to where I live.
Meh. I live out in the country, and the only scary thing about cities to me is the traffic. Even NYC was fine outside of Times Square, and I took public transit. The only place I really hated was Orlando, but that was because of the exhausted Disney kids. It was overwhelming for everyone.
