Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

At a local community college I took an American history course and the professor taught the civil war as The War of Northern Aggression
Try Katy, TX in the 90s -- I was once involved with someone who grew up there, and claimed to have lived on an anarchist commune during her brief stint in college, and one day she just starts dropping this matter-of-fact "war of northern aggression" / "not about slavery" / "states' rights" bullshit on me out of the blue, having apparently been taught all of it in either middle school or high school history.
Houston-area suburbanites. Not even once.
This was on the outskirts of Houston, so that checks out
We need to shut down Texas until we can figure out what in the hell is going on. ERCOT is already working on it, probably.
