What would happen if they actually did leave the union in the near future? I'm guessing they would merge w/ Mexico? Or become an independent country?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
What happens if Texas secedes

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

First I really doubt any US state will leave any time soon, but, if Texas did, there is absolutely no way in hell they will ever even consider joining Mexico.

I'm pretty sure the last Civil War set the precedent of what happens when a state tries to leave the Union.
“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

The question is flawed. The provision upon Texas's annex into the US was a formed agreement from one country to another, as Texas was techincally it's own country and not a territory bought or taken by the he US. It states in the agreement that if Texas wanted to secede from the US it could do so on it's own voting basis without the executive branch interviening. However if it were to secede it would become it's own country with five predetermined parts outlined in the agreement.

It would get taken over by drug kingpins in a heartbeat. Since our military basically keeps them safe, they would be defenseless. On top of that, I think half of Texas's population would move to US overnight.

eh Texas, if they secede here's what will happen:
1) US invades
2) takes over
3) everything's back in order
I guess it would be an excuse to kill some dip**** creationists during the takeover, but otherwise, I couldn't give 2 ****s about Texas.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

lol. I'D LAUGH MY ASS OFF, IF THAT HAPPENED.
US has a long history of supporting the breakup of many different countries, including Russia and Former Yugoslavia (especially Kosovo).
I hate all politicians. What a bunch of hypocrites.

This board has the biggest collection of uninformed people I've ever seen when it comes to ANYTHING political.
Why would Texas secede? If any state would secede from the Union, it would be Alaska. There is a political party that exists that calls for secession. However, the chances of it ever happening are very slim at best.
Any state that seceded from the Union would be foolish. Their economic, political, and social structures would be hit so hard that the state would crumble and crawl back to the United States. That's why the Confederacy never really had a chance of existing without support from England or France and fought so hard for it.

...can I get at least PARTIAL credit for knowing about the ability to split? What a drag...Thank god I don't have to back to real school anymore.Deep Dish said:
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

If Texas or any one state becomes an independent country, I think several others will too. There is a lot of talk of it right now, but how many people are on board with actually doing what it takes to break away from the handouts that the federal government gives at this point? It would also mean the possibility of an all out war with the remaining states.
If things continue to go as they are (government getting bigger and more oppressive) it will happen sooner or later. When it does, all hell will break loose and we'll have another massive civil war in America, but people are going to be fighting each other within their own states, not just big divided regions like last time.

In the so-called "Civil War," the North was actually in the wrong. The southern states peacefully seceded, and the North initiated war.
When this country was created, under the constitution, states were free to secede. There was nothing saying that once you're in, you can never get out.
Otherwise those states would never have joined the United States in the first place. They were reluctant to begin with.
Also, contrary to what is taught in most schools, the Civil War was not about slavery. Never was. Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation as a war measure. Lincoln himself didn't care whether we had slaves or not.

In modern times, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a second revolution, once the U.S. dollar is only good for lighting fires and people begin to get angry....

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
