It's 64% Asian, so maybe they just didn't understand the question.

These types of lists are unmitigated horseshit.

Not a shred of statistical soundness to them, and more bias per pound then our venerable "President" Biden has shit ice cream during his term.

Sven has a point. I've been to Overland Park, Kansas. The only way that dark corner of suburban Missouri makes #2 is if the study methodology heavily weighs meth trailers as a source of unspeakable, transcendent joy.

It's 64% Asian (Indian dot), so maybe they just didn't understand the question.


They get more joy out pretending they're in India when they take your tech calls.

That, and it's not North Dakota.

Fukkin' Fremont is the arm pit of the bay and running fast to overtake oakland as crime and slum central. There is serious discussion going on about closing the Dumbarton bridge because of the animal life there.

Yeah Sven... "These types of lists are unmitigated horseshit."

Except for the one list that said San Francisco is the healthiest city in America. THAT list was totally legit. I know because a couple Californians who almost never go into SanFran told me so.

If Slapout, Alabama doesn’t lead that list, it’s bullshit.

Columbia holds the honor of being the VD / STD capital of MD.

A happy town full of STDs? Reminds me of Pharrell's song "Happy."
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Three cities (5, 12, & 14) in Orange County. Garden Grove used to be referred to as the county’s armpit. Lotsa Vietnamese there these days. Could be they’re still happy not to be in Nam anymore.
