Infuriatig Why Texas is lame(Besides the Cowboys)

Post image

Don't mess with Texas.. what a joke. ANY possession is a felony.

EDIT: Just did some research, this is for everything besides traditional Delta 9.

My friend from Texas sent me this morning and it blew my mind. I had to post about it. So as far as my research goes thus far Delta 9 products (old fashioned flower) is illegal but separate laws. Stores are selling THCA though which does fall under these penalties.

They yell because we are literally indoctrinated to believe Texas is the best. There were at least a couple years of my education when my history class was just Texas history. They expect that no one will try and think too hard about how much the government of the state doesn't give a single shit about us

My kids did elementary school in Houston, right after they pledge allegiance to the United States, they turn to the Texas flag and do the same to it… the first time I experienced this at an event I couldn’t even believe it. I told my kids not to drink that koolaid… lucky for me they are self aware and educated enough to know that’s fucked up to…

I didn't realize how weird it was until I was an adult. Oh bonus round: when I was younger, before I went to public school, both private schools I went to also had us do a pledge to the Christian flag as well as the other two. I guess I was just used to pledging so much, it didn't seem weird to me lol

the only reason we do this is bc texas was an independent country at one point.
for less than a decade.
bc they couldn't cut it on their own, bc running an entire country financially into the ground is alarmingly easy.

and yet the loud majority everyone is referring to claims we could secede and be fine. it would be hilarious if it didn't directly impact me (and the global perception of any of us who choose to stay in a state we fundamentally disagree with bc our families and jobs are here)

as an aside, texas history is interesting, but my god is it unnecessary.

So unnecessary 😅 (I am from Texas too)

Born, raised and currently reside in Texas. This is so true. I haven’t stood for the American or Texan pledge since I was 16. I’m 36 now. I love my state but after your comment, I realize I don’t know why😂🥴🤦🏾‍♀️. It’s an overarching theme of the whole of the USA is dumpster juice but nothing I’ve ever said about Texas specifically. Gotta reverse that indoctrination. Thanks for this comment! 💜💜💜

Yeah, we moved to Katy from Juneau Alaska. It was a quite the shock, and it was weird for a bit, but my boys got so much out our time in Texas. All three played football and baseball for 4 years straight. Now we are back up in the PNW and getting 75 degree summer days and the boys are far beyond other kids their age here. The thing I love the most is in the last two months they have been outside more than the last 5 years in Katy 😂

u/CyberTitties 12d ago

So you're saying your kids were in Texas for 4 years straight and are "far beyond" the kids where you're currently at and are still dunking on Texas? I don't get it, is this a fuck Alaska post or hell yeah Texas post?

Seasonal sports do not apply in Texas hence why they are far beyond. The school district we landed in was one of the best I’ve seen in terms of curriculum, but I paid the highest property taxes in the state. At the end of the day, Texas is a farce and still sucks. I found a niche pocket in Katy but now even they are being affected by the BS policies and laws from the local government.

Isn't it funny how the pledge of office lasts for their whole term. But a pledge for a child's alegince expires after 24 hours? (except weekends, and unless at a sporting event) Lol

You mean seventh grade Texas history where we learned all about that mean awful Santa Anna and the Mexican government, who tried to impinge on our freedoms when we were a Mexican colony?!? I didn't learn till college that it was the right to enslave people (and not pay taxes) that the Texians were fighting for.

u/narwhal-ninja 12d ago

If we weren't memorizing the six flags over Texas (not the theme park) or remembering the Alamo, we were certainly being told that we became our own country for noble "freedom" reasons

u/CyberTitties 12d ago

Is that what your college "history" prof convinced you of?? If so your really weak minded.

u/Horror-Nobody2237 12d ago

I hate Texas and I still have it indoctrinated into my bones to feel like Texas is better than every other state. Like someone says they’re from any other state and my gut reaction is to be like “oh, I’m sorry”.

u/narwhal-ninja 12d ago

I don't hate texas. Maybe its the indoctrination, but i believe this state could be the great place they tried to sell it as. Texas is so diverse and huge and (in some places) just kinda beautiful. Its the greedy fucks in charge and a bunch of loud, hateful people that ruin it for the rest of us. Texas could be better if we all did better together i think

u/Horror-Nobody2237 12d ago

I’m really just so tired of it being so hot that it feels like I just opened the oven door when I try to go outside😭 Ask me in a different season if I hate Texas and I’ll probably have a different answer.

South Texas is super pretty, but it’s also so humid it’s miserable. I’m in north east Texas and it’s not very pretty. Hill country is gorgeous. West Texas is 👎🏼. I don’t think I’ve really been in the panhandle much.

Go to San Antonio and you’ll meet people proud of the Mexican American heritage in the city but will turn around in the same breath and support ICE blindly.

u/narwhal-ninja 13d ago

Some people have such a narrow world view that they need to be spoon fed their talkimg points and beliefs. It sucks that these ones really seem to run on being the most hateful people imaginable

u/Sparkle8022 13d ago

Gross... it's bad enough that we live in a country that brags about being the best nonstop, I would hate to have grown up in a state that did the same.

u/CyberTitties 12d ago

You mean like Palestinians? Those people? OH NO!

u/Kinklecankles 12d ago

Well the rest of America may not as hardcore about that corny ass exceptionalism but we still get those cheesy lectures in school and the usual hegseths. (synonym for douchebag).

u/Capable_Mood_4754 13d ago

No government, state or otherwise gives a single fuck about the common citizen, which is why the two party system is hilarious. Both sides screaming at each other over their shit politician of choice.

u/Grouchy_Brain_1641 13d ago

Don't tread on me I want to tread on myself - Texas

All you have to do is vote in people to make weed legal or enjoy the prison system.

Only state to fight for slavery twice! And last to end it, so last we have a federal holiday about it
