im thinking i should move somewhere closer to chicago to help with my professional video games career. I think its the lag holding me back. Chicago is where most game servers are hosted so I'd get much better latency. But obviously I need to be in a state with no income tax, low property tax and affordable housing and Tennessee has all of that I think. Portland is mostly okay, but my seasonal affective disorder doesn't like it. I know it gets hot there, but after a year in nevada it cant be that bad. What's the difference between knoxville and nashville? Does it matter which city you choose. Do they have the cool southern accent over there? Tell me about your Tennessee living experiences

If it's anything like my home state of Kentucky, it's an insanely pretty landscape but everyone's dead from opioids. Maybe the corpses feed the land real well or something.

OP, you would always be thought of as "that dang ol' gamer boy from the North." But if you can catch an alligator barehanded, or roll a cigarette one-handed, or skull a quart of moonshine, or do funny tricks with your penis and scrotum, you will impress the locals. If you swing that way and have a huge schlong you'll impress the women particularly, but watch you don't end up at a shotgun wedding with the guns pointed at you. Somewhat unrelated: if you're colored or Jewish, don't go there, for your own safety.

Lord, I've really been real stressed, down and out, losing ground Although I am black and proud, problems got me pessimistic Brothers and sisters keep messin' up, why does it have to be so drat tuff? I don't know where I can go to let these ghosts out of my skull My grandma past, my brother's gone, I never at once felt so alone I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel, not just my spare tire (Home!) But Lord, I ask you (Home!) to be my guiding force and truth (Home!) For some strange reason it had to be (Home!) he guided me to Tennessee

i live in very rural tennessee op it takes me 20 minutes to get to a grocery store, walmart is 30 minutes away, work is an hour my internet for my home is a 5g little cube from verizon because there are no isps that provide where i live i wont drink water from the faucet because there is so much lime in the well water that i have to clean the lime out of my water heater every year the "town" consists of a dollar store, a small chain pizza place, and a gas station. to buy gas you have to go inside because they don't have card readers at the pump, the pumps themselves still have the old rotary style display instead of digital. everyone waves when passing each other while driving. if you drive by someone in their yard they will wave. i live on a 30 acre farm, i have around 30 chickens, 15 pigs, and 3 goats, and a cat named charlie. i usually come home from work and the neighbors dog is on my porch and i give him cheese and lunchmeat because he's a good dog the neighbors that own the dog are like 6 twenty year olds that live in a double wide trailer. they used have little kids roaming around but i guess child protective services took them away because i haven't seen them in a year or so my house was built in 1920s, i just installed a propane heater last year. until then my heat was provided entirely by wood stove but i got tired of cutting down trees and busting wood every year. i live on 30 acres but i can walk on about 10 miles on the east side of my property before I encounter another house i probably wouldn't move to small town in tennessee given the chance op

Maybe you should set some roots down somewhere, make some actual friends, maybe meet a girl and lose your virginity. Probably won't be possible with your horrible personality though.

BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:Tennessee is great if you like guns, racism, restricted rights for anyone who isn’t a cishet white male, and being able to marry children op These are pretty much the reasons i moved away from Tennessee. East tennessee is beautiful, tons of outdoor stuff to do. You CAN find cool people especially if you're moving to a bigger city. Not everyone is a slack jawed yokel. Not everyone is white (something i actually miss, especially knoxville being a college town, there's tons of diversity) The heat... it's different than out west. The summers can be rough. Extreme humidity. Sometimes there are tornados in the spring (not big ones though) Knoxville vs nashville, different vibes, i would say knoxville is a little more quirky and Nashville is more fancy but also country. I loved living in knoxville so I'm a little biased but i visited Nashville. Yes they have the accent to the point where you may find more rural people kind of hard to understand. Is a very landlocked state so if you like the beach its a pain in the rear end to go. But there are tons of lakes. I can't speak to west Tennessee because i never really went to Memphis. Good barbecue? Southern food rules but it's quite unhealthy. Cost of living is low in general. The roads suck because nobody pays any taxes. And yeah overall Tennessee ain't a bad place to live but just like anywhere else, there's good and bad aspects to it.

Im in Florida....everything really sucks down here. Tenessee though. I hear thats the promised land of the south. There is tell around the various trailer courts where I am that in Tenesee there is plenty of asian massage parlors and the sausage gravy flows straight from the abcesses you will get when you inevitably start shooting oxy. The other awesome thing about tenessee is no one will look funny at you for picking up dead animals on the side of the road. Everyone's gotta eat right?

Everyone's gotta eat right? It's pretty hosed. Even if you think you've clocked someone as fairly decent and safe to talk to, they'll still suddenly say or do something shockingly racist, misogynistic, homophobic or transphobic like it's nothing. I feel like I can't let my guard down, I have to be careful in what I say and every year the news and what's going on gets less and less a safe topic. Also it's weirdly creepy how many people here hate California who have never left Tennessee. Lots of thin blue line poo poo. Funny about the roadkill law, my school bus driver would stop and pick it up all the time. Not to eat, but to train his hunting beagles. It didn't even occur to me when it was first passed that people would be eating the roadkill. I've not always lived in Tennessee and really, the only thing I missed were the thunderstorms and the abundant choices in radio stations.

You can eat roadkill in any state as long as you don't get caught I've only driven through Tennessee once, ended up in North Carolina It was pretty though

I moved from australia to Knoxville 25 years ago for three years and i thought it sucked poo poo, everyone was fat and gross and all the restaurant were garbage chains and it seemed like the only modicum of culture that existed there was college football. Maybe its better now I dunno. Also i was 8.
