    I didn’t so much forget it as I did assume Texans were just playing the martyr for getting their collective asses kicked in. Again.

    You know… Like Dallas Cowboys fans?

        San Jacincto was a different battle wherein Mexico got their collective ass kicked in there. The Alamo was a rallying cry.

        Alamo itself was a rout for the Texians [sic]. There’s no side-stepping that. It goes as it goes.

    The Alamo is worth being forgot about. It’s always told as a feel good story but it’s actually just kinda fucked up. Pretty on par for American history

        I’ve started ignoring random posts about it.

        Its the equivalent of telling your little sibling about it and having to listen to them shout “I lost the game” for next 5 months. It gets old quick.

        Now if I think about this post and comment later on my own, then sure I’ll have lost the game.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
