2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

I'll never get over how something about Ohio motivates people to come up with new ways to get as far away as possible from Ohio...

I once took a job in Toledo with the intent to move there. After looking around, I decided to commute 106 miles in each direction instead.

Michigan and Ohio once fought over Toledo. Michigan won so Ohio had to take it.

Even Toledo isn't that bad... a 212 mile daily commute is fucking insane.

And you took a job there before ever visiting the city?

This industry will die when cities ban them or the first accident takes out pedestrians below. No city is gonna allow these through the city
