AraucanΓ­a (Chile πŸ‡¨πŸ‡±), does not matter your skin colour, language or religion, nobody is safe there.

Special mentions:

  • Talca, every single bad thing that happens in my country happens there first (COVID, floodings, forest fires, etc). It's a common joke among chileans that we should just "Blow-up Talca" or that "Talca doesn't exist".

  • EstaciΓ³n Central (Santiago), you take your bus or train as soon as possible and you get the hell out of there, because the odds of you getting robbed (or even worse, stabbed πŸ”ͺ) by staying too long are very far from 0. Do not ever go near that place at night time. πŸŒƒπŸš«

I live in Florida. It's either us, Texas, or Mississippi.

London Metro definitely, utter shithole. It's a moneysuck to the extent that I don't know how the average bloke can survive. Run by gigarich fuckronauts, sold off to foreign criminals; one big Β£12-a-pint, can't fucking move for people, money laundering operation.

May not be the most popular opinion in this thread, but hell I love British people hating... stuff.

That's just as well cos we don't get up to much else. Not that we're total cynics; sometimes we're happy enough to break into fits of sarcasm.

[–] FUsername@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

This, I got affections to that sarcasm. Besides, I feel that it is usually delivered in a delicate blend of linguistic spices that tickle my senses far beyond that french fries American English.

Problem is, the stupidest people live in the most beautiful areas and make the worst, but also most unique food. But it's probably St. Gallen.

Madrid. In my opinion, they see themselves as the coolest, the only who matter in Spain, while the rest of us are merely peasants... assuming we exist.

[–] ThisIsMyNewAccount@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you saying their hubris makes them the worst? Or is it actually terrible in Madrid and the locals are unaware?

[–] Ignacio@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

More about the former, in my opinion.

I'm from Venezuela. It's really hard to say, most of the border with Colombia and Brasil is dominated by crime and the law of the Paracos or Guerrilleros.

I might say La Guajira in Zulio might be the worst region, but also Petare in Caracas is the biggest favela in the world and is way too dangerous, a straight up no-go-zone.

As cities go, I found New York to be worse on a few days visit. Smelled terrible, and if there was a window open, at any hour of the day or night I could hear sirens. Most of my memories of DC are the subway, which was decent, and marching through the streets / locking down buildings with the group I was with. What's awful about it in your experience?

the government lol. I was making a joke. I've never been there, I'm sure physically it's a nice place (dc, not ny).
