A workaround for the lack of a non-branching (in-line) if statement

So I started to write this post as another request for an inline if statement, like these two: 

Any probably many more, but as I was, I had an idea about the branches, and what happens when more than one filter is met, ie more than one branch evaluates to true.  I had always presumed that it would only do the first one, but in fact that is not the case, it runs both.  
 

In the above I had the same check, my name, but any 2 true statements would work.  And in the Slack message I had 2 different messages, and I received both upon triggering this.  

This way you can just do a branch, with the condition you want to check, run the conditional statement[s], and then as long as the other path condition is also true, they should both run.  
 

Hope that helps someone.
