All the chuff, none of the nuance. As I stated, and as others have stated, the point isn't whether the NWS did or did not do something at all, it's that what they did do, they did wrong. Very wrong. They're still getting it wrong.
Flooding is common in Texas, and is generally a minor hazard. That's how it was reported. That's not what happened. That is the valid criticism that you're intentionally disregarding.
And this is what you do. I've seen other comments of yours. Time and time again, you try to play "devil's advocate," but you do so by disregarding any arguments that don't align with right-wing talking points. Anything you can't refute, you subtly push aside, trying to bury it within these little nonsensical attacks.
I would disagree with what you're saying. I'm not attempting to play devil's advocate. I want to know better what is happening. I'm pissed off with people on the left as much as people on the right. But overall I'm noticing a shift where people on the left are becoming much less informed. They're holed up in places like Lemmy missing a lot of information. Why did I need to go to a right wing space to find out there was an alert given. Yes that alert was pretty much useless but it's such a critical part in all of this. In almost all recent events, I keep seeing critical details only on right wing spaces. The left leaning spaces have more content and comments but lack quality and information. That's not playing devil's advocate, I'm pissed off.
