Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Definitely part of it, never met a Texan man who didn't rage and throw a shitfit over the most minor of inconveniences.

I used to do regular driving trips to Mexico from NC and I swear to god everything was always fine in every state I crossed. People were nice, no police problems, roads well maintained, no traffic and quick city bypasses.

But when I cross into Texas suddenly everything would turn to shit. The people were shitty, the roads were shitty, the radio stations were shitty, the police were shitty, Houston was a massive cluster fuck of detours and pot holes, the heat, the smells, literally EVERYTHING was just a bit shittier there than anywhere else. It was always a blessing to get across the Rio Grande and back into a civilized country.

You drove through one big city and it sucked. LA and Chicago would have sucked to drive through as well.

New York is better now I hear since they implemented congestion pricing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Huston is the biggest city I have ever been to.

Cities aren't a problem if you can avoid driving into them. But Houston literally had no bypass because they were being worked on. You were detoured through a maze of city streets. So if a detour sign was missing or fallen over (and they often were) then you were lost. This was before GPS and smartphones were common.

It was like that for years.

same goes for right wingers that gloriflies places like texas, and florida, they are equally reprehensible people. they were people on yt that were talking shit about california constantly, and they live LV(long story why they moved there) but thier business entirely depends on CALIFORNIA, since youtubing is based around LA anyways. they are asian by the way, one of the was bitching how to EVADE edd laws, because they were misclassifying employees and contractors/ or full time employees.
