Is anyone else sick of the “CT sucks” trope used by both former and current residents?

I went to a comedy show Saturday in Branford and half the jokes from 3 comics were shitting on CT and it’s towns… it’s very lazy comedy.

Yup.. it's lame, hacky, and unoriginal. If you think this place sucks, I'd say leave, and go find your place, if you can't find the good here, then why stay? It's so weird people just hang about shitting on the place, but do nothing to change that. Also, I'd say the people who think CT sucks, either don't try hard enough to make it not suck, and it's mostly on them and their disposition on life in general.

I think most people that live here that say Connecticut sucks haven't lived in other states.

Yes if they hate it so much then they should go find the door. Maybe there's a certain sort of person who would say that no matter what state they lived in. They could pile up their vanity plates from each one.

I live a very busy and fulfilling life to the point where the weather outside is irrelevant. I think you may have a bigger underlying issue if you can’t entertain yourself because it’s dark and cold out.

Edit: also did you just cite one, specific year to try to prove your “6 month winter statement?” You realize a one-off doesn’t back up your argument. I’m glad you left CT, it likely brought up our state’s intelligence level.

Of course it counts… but you are citing a one-off as if it’s every year… you know that’s not how you debate, come on man

Yea… it was an example. You first stated that CT has 6 month long winters. I corrected you, and you gave AN EXAMPLE of ONE YEAR where it was a long winter, when statistically, the majority are not like that. You’re moving goalposts to fit your argument.

Your Florida is 100% showing moron

Yes I am incredibly bland because I am content with where I live and I know how to have fun and entertain myself independent of temperature and weather. You’re a bozo! Please don’t even come back to CT to visit!

Ahahahahaha dude for someone who claims they are having such a lovely life in shithole FL, you’ve got the time to search my post history (not even my main account) to try to troll me?

1.5/5 troll.

You must really hate your life if you’re projecting like this.

Edit: checked your page and saw your pic… yeah man I doubt you’re ever from CT. You look like an inbred FL man. You’ve found your home!

It’s funny that you continue to stray further and further away from the original topic of 6 months vs 4 months for CT winters… you’re so butthurt about being wrong… look how defensive you’re being

Yes… they can and do… but the majority don’t. I’ve made this point like a dozen times… idk why you can’t get it lol.

It’s funny amongst friends and social media, but professional comics? That’s kinda cheap. Maybe one or two quick jabs but like… write a real set.

Nope. After all, it’s highly accurate. Nothing good about the state that really matters. Well, aside from the current non winter.

  • Statistically one of the safest places in the world on several metrics, including natural disasters, dangerous wild animals, and more.
  • Progressive-minded people (mostly).
  • Strong Medicaid system compared to other states.
  • Easy access to the Northeastern United States with two major cities within 2 hours.
  • and in my personal opinion: the geography and nature of CT/New England is much prettier than the majority of the United States.

But hey, keep being miserable.

You just listed the reasons, outside of employment change I moved here.

Do you even understand what cost of living is? Yes it costs more to live in a better place where there are better, higher paying jobs.

The taxes is the only thing we’ll agree on, but for me, it’s offset by all the positives.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Breaking: better places are more expensive.

If you want cheap, you're free to move to some shithole like Alabama. Just go.

If it weren't for the hurricanes and humidity, Alabama would be a dream place to live compared to CT.

I moved from CT to AL and back to CT. AL sucks so much harder than CT. Hope you don’t have kids - those low Alabama taxes mean some of the worst schools in the country.
