Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

the nihilist in me really wants to see texas attempt this.
confederates === domestic terrorists. lets act accordingly.
Stop bragging about your gay dads, gawd /s
Maybe he’s Sean Astin (adoptive dad John Astin, originally presumed bio-dad Desi Arnaz Jr., real bio-dad Michael Tell, and stepdad Michael Pearce; he refers to them as his four dads and is close with all of them)
You have four fathers?
OP censors negative comments about Abbott
Just to get rid of Abbot and Cruz it would be worth it.
Ah ha, I found a JS dev lmfao
Normal languages: "does this equal that?"
JS: "does this REALLY equal that, or just 'equal' that?"
JS comparing a string and some random number: "ah, close enough probably"
Beats having explicit null checks everywhere.
As opposed to null and undefined?
No one checks those values explicitly.
if (str)checks if it's not null, undefined, or empty string.Optional chaining like
if (arr?.length)checks if list is undefined, null, or empty array.Falsy and truthy comparators seem fucky in the beginning when coming from a strongly typed language. But they're very convenient when used properly.
Monads exist, optional chaining has been around for ages, and implicit bool casts, too.
As you said, no one checks those values explicitly.
I doubt this whole display is anything more than a distraction from the impending elections but I'm going to keep saying it anyway:
Please remember there are sane, reasonable, nonconservative people living here without a good way out. We're not the enemy.
Might not be domestic for long. Plus I hear they've got oil! Not sure they've thought this through.
Not just confederates, it's the current MAGA "Republican" party. CPAC, Dallas, TX, Aug. 4-7, 2022:
The persecution fetish is bigger in Texas.
