New Hampshire once again proves they are the worst of New England, by a huge margin! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (2 children) As a lifelong NHer, I feel obligated to say fuck you buddy. Nobody calls NH shit but NHers. As a person with a brain though you're pretty much right lol But idk I mean I think I'd rather live here than like Connecticut or Rhode Island. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Heh, fair enough! As a lifelong Masshole, I already live in the best state in the country - but, believe me when I say that New Hampshire isn't that bad when you factor in the many many shithole states that aren't in New England. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago Yeah it really depends what you're talking about. Our politics are pretty whack. There's a small amount of that good libertarian socialist energy here that bleeds over from Vermont and Maine, and I do feel like that is intensifying as Trump wields his heavy hammer of federal government, but I think a good chunk of that energy gets stolen and redistributed by bigots. We've never really had someone like Bernie to channel it. But outside of politics we've got mountains, we've got lakes, we've got beaches, we've got some small cities, and Boston's just a day trip away. I've always enjoyed that aspect. But yeah. New Hampshire. Live restrained and hike a little. See a loon. Then die. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) I drive through NH every time I visit my sister in Maine. Call it the southern kid in me, but I enjoy a few tiny minutes of no seatbelt 🫣 but I've been in a horrible car accident where I was the only one with a seatbelt so don't take that the wrong way 😅 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Of course nh doesn't have seatbelt laws lol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Or mandatory car insurance I think permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago I thought their motto was live free or die, not live free and die permalink fedilink source parent [–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago* Trust me I'm very well aware of the libertarian party and its various caucuses etc. They're part of the problem. I still think the root word of liberty has meaning to Americans that can make it easy to grasp anarchist socialism, even if they don't fully buy in to the anarchist part. As long as Americans don't associate it with communism or socialism they can often buy socialist anarchist ideas. It's stupid, but it is what it is permalink fedilink source parent
