I live in Texas, and as an American Citizen, I am asking to be rescued from this hostage situation. Please send help.

Same, my dumbass came here for a job. "It's such a great area you'll love it here."

Now I'm depressed, and I get irritated every time I go outside from how terrible the city / road planning is here.

So now I'm just here job hunting, worst case I vote for less shitty politicians while I'm here, but hoping I can GTFO of here soon.

Please! Give us refugee status and then cut this state from the US! And let Texas take Florida with them!

What about the people that feel they are being held hostage in Florida?

[-] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh anyone sane is welcome to seek refugee status in the US. I just feel like the majority of idiots are currently located in these two states, so it'd be easier to save the few with braincells left and then cut the land mass off like a cancerous tumor.

The remaining population will enjoy it, being their own "independent countries" while not having to worry about those inconvenient things like women and LGBTQ+ people accessing Healthcare. Then they can be free to enjoy all the oppression that God intended.

Presumably you have a car. Get in it. Start driving. Don't stop until you're out of the shithole.

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.
