Nikocado Avocado is going to end up dead and I don't think anyone will actually miss him.

He’s already dead

I'm not even the kind of person to usually be that pessimistic but

On the inside

I genuinely think no one likes him

and it's his own fault

I don’t know him outside of people making fun of him

He just seems like a really unhealthy emotional slob

the only fans are likely the people who think he's a gay role model or something

like that's the only thing I can think of to like about him

That or weirdos that like mukbang

and even then he's just annoying, abusive, and disgusting so he's bad advertising

maybe people have a thing for eating??

That’s what mukbang is

Just videos and asmr of people eating

Like I won't judge but at the same time, I feel like actively encouraging someone to live this kind of lifestyle is cringe

It’s fuckin nasty

like
draw a cartoon of it or something

and keep it on your distant website away from me

The only show I watch even remotely related to “eating things” is LA Beast

Food for Louis was actually good

LA Beast is a genuinely nice person irl and he has never used clickbait

Well, my issue with having other states form a Union with Texas is that not every conservative state shares the same values as Texas, and if there are enough of them can overpower Texas politically and dictate what Texas can or cant do, which is the current situation with the current Union of states we are in

What did I miss?

" that not every conservative state shares the same values as Texas" Agreed...but under the founding principles of this nation (the United States) states with vastly different values & policies are meant to exist as one nation. This is accomplished through federalism, where a central government handles foreign policy & protects basic rights, whereas the states get to have vastly different policies & values

It works well...the problem is we & the states abdicated too much power to the central government....all regulations are turning into "all or nothing" policies across all states

What Texan values do you think could be threatened by other conservative states?

If Texas & the other states had a federal system (as the US is meant to have), they'd get along great.

Moreover, Texas is turning less red by the day due to all the commie transplants from CA and the like 😬

Well one of the things that some other conservative states have is Warhawks, which is something against what Texas wants. We dont want constant fighting or war, we just want to be left alone

Also, Texas got a bit more red this year, with one border county going hard red and no new seats earned by the democrats anywhere in Texas legislature

So I haven't done a statistical study on this so I could be wrong here but the impression I get is that most of the warhawks are politicians; some evidence for this is Trump campaigned against needless war and is more popular (among Republicans) than most other Republican presidents in recent times.

Frankly what id like to see more than a Union between Texas and republican states is the 2 independant of each other that decide their own fates but have an econimic and military alliance between each other

Balkanization basically

Essentislly yes

I’d say the states would benefit greatly from being far more independent of one another

Not all of them naturally, there are some states that would starve on their own

But most

Yes there is no denying that

Basically a confederation then, I'm good with that

More “independent states in a Union” than one giant homogeneous state
