Setting aside the occasional exception, Des Moines has a remarkable number of people that are miserable to deal with. Three in particular are also morbidly obese. I really don't think that's a coincidence.
Des Moines isn't a go-forward location, is it?
State song is the Jardiance commercial. “As time went on it was easy to see, I’m lowering my A1C”…
Evidence to the contrary.
@nz Where did OP say he was one of those insidious coastal elites who seem to haunt your nightmares? Or does Iowa not have a second city he could be from?
@nn No, we don't think about you at all.
The hayseed doth protest too much
It never ceases to amaze me how much unchecked bitterness seeps out of the East Coast. Jealousy, entitlement, and delusion—truly a trifecta. It's bad enough Des Moines had to clean up the mess left behind by the Wachovia refugees, but now we’ve got to listen to their condescending whines too? Bless your heart.
Yeah, some of us are chubby—Midwest food is good, and we’re not ashamed to enjoy life. Dad bods are in, and unlike your personality, they’re actually warm and comforting. You mock what you can’t understand, and you hate what you secretly wish you had: a community that knows how to smile without needing to impress anyone and a father figure in your life.
Next time you feel the urge to take a cheap shot at a place you clearly don’t belong, consider therapy instead. Des Moines isn’t miserable—you are. We’re just too polite to say it first.
Spending my evening spamming downvotes on a post that dared criticize my flyover state to prove how miserable I'm not. lol.
Sounds like you don’t like us winners. Now excuse me while I go get my “fat shot” and do some risk management for my boss who takes the fat shot too and now looks like a deflated balloon.
Some are obese... some are not....
"I really don't think that's a coincidence" Correct; the common factor is you.
I think hate they their job. I'm just glad I don't have to put up with their nasty attitudes anymore.
Easy there, buddy -- make fun at your own peril. They could be running down your a-s-s after some steady shots of GLP-1 / Ozempic
the reason they are larger is that they don't take all the me-h that the Cali people do.
The only true go forward locations are I&P and HY. Everything else is just a lie to keep the worker bees buzzing.
Grow up ffs
I say it’s STL but that’s me
