I went to the old thread you linked, and someone in the thread claimed that, though Mississippi ranks worst in MOST areas, it is #1 in terms of percentage of income donated to charity. That didn't pass the sniff test, so I looked it up. Mississippi is 47 out of 50 for charitable giving. Mississippi ain't got no silver lining.
Am from Mississippi. Only silver lining is our childhood vaccination rate (99% for MMR, for instance), and fairly affordable housing. Still failing in many other metrics, though.
If your housing is still only fairly affordable despite the fact that it's literally the worst place to live in the US, then that isn't really a positive.
I mean, we're ranked one in cost of living and 20 in housing affordability (by USNews). Now granted, I'm only here cause I'm with family. I'm heading to college in New Jersey in a couple days anyway, so I can say goodbye to this state.
Oh hey I'm also a Mississippi to NJ transplant! People are like, why would you move to Jersey of all places? And I'm like, I'm from Mississippi... And they just go oh yeah okay that makes sense
You don't pump your own gas. An attendant will come to you.
Get a Taylor Ham, egg, & cheese sandwich. Some people will call it Taylor Ham. Some will call it Pork Roll. It's the same thing and we will argue endlessly about which one is right.
"DJEET" is what it can sound like when we quickly say "did you eat?"
Also pay no attention to the Jersey Shore tv show, those people are all from staten island.
Pay more attention to the exit numbers on the parkway, they are more relevant than the names of the towns.
If anyone ever uses the word "central" followed by "jersey" just slap them and move on. If you're going to Rutgers you'll undoubtedly come across this.
Enjoy Wawa. You don't have to worry about the Wawa vs Sheetz debate... there aren't any Sheetz.
