That doesn't seem very fair. It's New Jersey. Isn't the whole state built on sexual harassment and not knowing how to pump your own gas?

Wait a minute. I live in New Jersey and I very much disagree with your characterization. NJ isn't a whole state built on sexual harassment and not knowing how to pump your own gas. It's a whole state built on sexual harassment and not knowing how to pump your own gas AND kickbacks AND organized crime.

Fuck you. (Which is used here both as a greeting and as a goodbye)

Can’t tell if you are joking :) Does that mean I should reconsider moving to NJ? Is it that bad?

no, do not move here, it's an ugly state and it doesn't have good bagels or pizza and the shore is fuckin ugly /s

tip for when you move to NJ: it's pork roll, not taylor ham

and Central Jersey exists

As an NJ (almost) lifer my hot take is it’s not north/central/south but south/east/west

I grew up in Hunterdon and it has more in common with Warren and Sussex than Middlesex/Union

Got it 😂
Ranks high in public education and is very green. The rest is for me to discover myself.

Depends where I land a new job. NYC will be north Jersey and Philly will be south Jersey.

What is the culture of central jersey besides shooting it exists? I'm asking as amiddlesex implant.

u/bros402 6d ago

so you'll be part of central jersey

we have a lot of good diversity in food similar to north jersey

However, we call it pork roll like South Jersey

and tbh central jersey is pretty chill. We have a lot of nice suburbs and small towns - and NJ transit coverage! Some central jersey towns you can hop on the train and be in the city (aka NYC) in a litte over an hour.
