As someone who has spent time in all three states, Mississippi and Alabama are worse than Florida. There are parts of Florida that are just as bad as the bad parts of AL and MS, but there are also parts of FL that have positive aspects. AL and MS not so much.

If you're saying Alabama has no positive aspects you've clearly never been there. There are plenty of cities in Alabama that have a lot to offer.

In Alabama, if you leave your clothes at someone's house for over 7 days, you're considered commonlaw married.

Any wonder why Alabama is memed as the incest state? 🤔

In Texas, if you tell three people you're married, then you're legally married.

I wonder how many other states have crazy laws like this.

Lmao I hope this is a joke. I live in AL and I'll have some explaining to do to my gf...

[–] over_clox 3 points 1 year ago

I dunno, depends how long you've been together...

I guess they've changed their laws since 2016 at least. 🤷‍♂️

Florida only sounds worse than either because they're so public with their insanity. What goes on behind closed doors is always worse.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

never been to either of the two. In fact, never been to the US.

But I also wanted to say florida by instinct

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Florida has much more lax reporting laws. More or less, as long as it's anonymized (Florida man/woman, rather than a name) it can/will be reported, versus other states requiring much more stringent care. What goes on behind closed doors is always worse than what you see.

I expect the biggest shithole to be so shitty that there's never anything to mention

I'm not a huge fan of Florida, but at least it has a large variety of things to offer. Schools, entertainment, sports, amusement parks, national parks, beaches, etc.
