    Let’s be honest, the countryside sucks. 4 miles until the nearest store, and surrounded by weird people.

        Yes, and I’ll tell ya what, I ain’t yet felt like if I stayed over too long the locals were gonna start raising some planks and rope like I do if I even look like I’ve so much as thought of walking into the gas station store to get a bottle of water out in the countryside.

        Those rural folks want me dead just for existing and what I believe about the world ain’t doing many favors to that inclination.

            It’s probably not that extreme most of the time, but there are plenty of sundown towns in the rural US. If the other poster is a minority it can certainly get ugly just by them being there at any time. Just because it isn’t nighttime doesn’t mean that they will necessarily refrain from targeting them.

            Hell, even being a white man who doesn’t look like a local can get nasty looks and unwanted attention. I’d say it’s risky to be there for anyone who doesn’t have a local traveling with them.

        different flavors of weird for sure. Depends on which type you’re more comfortable around.

          I’ll take the smelly screaming drug addict with a knife over the quiet, peculiarly sweet smelling drug addict with a dozen guns and a cousin-wife on the police force.

      Can confirm. Grew up in the hellhole that is rural America. Will never go back.

      I wish I lived in a place with only 4 miles to the store. It definitely can get obnoxious haha
