  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I never really understood, but now that that house bill passed that may end up blocking AI regulation from individual States. I get it. I don't like knowing that even if everyone in my state wanted to stop companies from using AI for hiring decisions, we couldn't.

Texans, I feel you.

Edit: I'm learning a lot about Texas in this thread. Thanks for all the context folks.

I kind of doubt an independent Texas would be any less of a fascist police state.

oh, i agree wholeheartedly.. thats where the current federal administration is getting a lot of their terrible ideas.

i think what op is referring to is a general 'but my states rights' even though the original idea was 'i want my state to have the right to be an absolutely racist piece of shit'.

They are certianly trying to beat the rest of the States to 1862 levels of fascism.

Texas has been a fascist state practically since its inception.

A big part of the "Texit" movement finds its legs as soon as the presidency changes to an insufficiently fascist bureaucrat.

I mean, there is kind of an overlap between these.
