it's just a picture of what happens when you defund about everything except the bare minimum to keep someone alive.

when the education system is in the top 10 companies in the state, while having bottom 10 education, you know you probably dont want to be there.

Even by going by American standards of what is “good,” it’s interesting to see the south with such a superiority complex when they rank worst in almost every metric that matters lol

Is the education system being that high purely from how much they pay college football coaches?

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago

i think it's strictly employee count and salary relative to other companies. regardless yes, a decent chunk is probably due to the crimson tide.

Living here (not AL specifically) is just constantly feeling like Ralph Wiggum giggling and saying he's in danger.

Where the skies are so blue amirite?

The land itself is so beautiful it's actively pissing me off what they've done with it. Just settler shit.

Welcome to some of the most breathtaking ecosystems you've ever encountered, here's six gas stations and a Hardee's

Just wait until you see every state Alabama borders.

Search for Delta 8/CBD stores. Most carry Delta 8 vapes and hemp-derived THC vapes that are legal. We have them in Texas, I assume they have them in Alabama.

I don't have access to a car or understanding in-laws but I appreciate you.

I am gonna disrupt Alabama and make a "gummy" door dash app.

Picture from just the other day, I don’t recall if it’s Mississippi or Alabama doesn’t really matter ig

[–] D61@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is a hell of a picture.

This is the sort of thing I was talking about when I was talking about the photo of the Palestinian woman holding her dead niece (the photo that won World Press Photo of the Year). I get the idea that the award is kinda lib, but photo journalism itself, when done right, can be a very powerful medium.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Definitely.

[–] dkr567@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

It really is sad how nothing has changed.

Yep. The food is awesome, though. The best vegan meal I ever had was a fried green tomato sandwich from a super unassuming bakery-cafe. If you go out to eat and see it on the menu, you have to get it

I regret to inform you that I had basically the same experience in Los Angeles.

Don't sleep on white people they're fucked up in lib areas too.

Never been to Alabama but I've been to Florida, and almost as soon as I landed in Ft Lauderdale I could feel the disregard for human life. It's a quality in the air, like humidity

Which isn't to say it's much different here on lib mountain, but here they at least pretend, usually.
