Yeah what yhat said. Westchester is hell on earth. Personally I'm so sick of nyc, it's so expensive it's insulting. I might move to Albany, where I can rent a 3 bedroom for less than an nyc studio. I've never felt suicidal there

Texas. No income tax, fantastic food, a wide variety of places to live, things to do and high job opportunities. You also get to listen to shitlords reassure themselves about what a hellhole it supposedly is while enjoying all the aforementioned.

Yes I would like to have the fried steak, or maybe fried chicken, or maybe fried butter with a side of fries and fried tater tots.

*slurps down bucket of sugar water flavored with tea*

Ahh, that was a good snack now I'll have the biscuits with 'gravy', a side of grits, a fried snickers bar, a big ol plate of lovely Mexican inspired food, a Whataburger triple with jalapeņos and some Mr. Jims pizza. Don't forget the ranch dressing!

don't mess with Texas, napalm it. it'll probably burn well too because it's over 100 degrees there. same with Arizona

edit: Oklahoma too. you know what, just quarantine the entire Southwest and burn it all to hell (sorry New Mexico)

While Calvin's numerous personality quirks form the basis for the strip, I'm not sure "living in denial" is an accurate description of his character, and certainly not to the point where that is how his teacher would describe him. This joke doesn't hold water.

Sure it does. He's a child in denial of the reality around him and refusing to accept any responsibilities that he might have no matter how minimal they might be. Plus, good luck trying to convince him that Hobbes is nothing more than a stuffed animal. Your opinion is gay.

It's obvious Calvin leads a rich fantasy life, but I think that's playing fast and loose with the definition of "in denial."

Gotta take pride in what you can. Like how a New Mexico town had, and I think still has, the highest per capita death rate due to heroin in the US. I don't know what to use for New Mexico so let's say :911: + :mexico:

Again saying Utah, become a mormon and you'll have a VERY VERY high chance of getting a very attractive wife. Some of the gooniest neckbeard weirdos in my classes here have a wife that is a 7-8 out of 10. The only downside they will be crazy religious and would want to have many many babies.

But really, you can boil down the states to move to by one thing:

Dark green = best and going lighter from there starts to get debatable.

Anything grey = nope. Don't even bother trying to defend it. Your state sucks.

Why would you wanna move to Texas, it loving sucks down here.

There's exactly one liberal city (Austin) and everyone wants to move there so good luck cause the list is already packed. The only places with high job opportunities is basically Houston or towns nobody knows about.

Also! It's always been the last horse across the finish line when it comes to any sort of social progress and reform. It was dragged into recognizing gay rights with the Supreme Court ruling and is still pretty butt hurt about that. I'd imagine it's gonna be the same with Mary J, so I hope you like getting busted by the neighborhood Rent-A-Cop for $10 worth of weed, courtesy of the harshest penalties that they can throw the book at you with.

Maine is cool, depending on which part you live in. Southern Maine is the common version everybody thinks of. North of Bangor might as well be Canada.

Oregon is where I hang my hat now. Like Maine, but substitute snow for rain. Salem is not as pretentious or as expensive as Portland too.
