Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

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 [email protected]

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 wouldn’t be surprised if the west coast didn’t try to peel off, together. Texas is sticking around, for now.

I pray Cascadia peels away. But I know it will never happen. Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Apple? They're never going to let us leave in peace.

Don't be so sure. There was a joke petition for Trump to pay for Greenland by trading it for California, and the amount of signatures skyrocketed to near a million in a couple of weeks. Imagine what would happen under more serious circumstances.
