Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Texas was settled as an extension of the Deep South. This still can be seen on population density maps, where the third of the state lumped up towards the eastern border has almost all the population, and all of the populated countryside.
Sure, Dallas became the plains ranching hub, and Austin and San Antonio are more Western, but the western half of the state is almost totally empty.
