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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.
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.
