Las Vegas is like if enshittification were a city. The whole economic model was to make everything cheap and easy so that people would show up to gamble. Subsidize the flights, the hotels, the food, the entertainment, etc. and just make it up on the other side with people throwing money away on gambling. It worked for decades. Then a bunch of morons went "but what if we also tried to make money on all that stuff, too?" so they started getting rid of the deals and the freebies, they jacked up prices and found ways to upsell, they lowered the already-middling quality on everything, and they presumably made even more money for a few years.

But now there's no reason to go there in the first place. Almost anything you'd want to do in Las Vegas you could do better and for less money somewhere else. Of course young people aren't going to show up.

I will not unwrap gifts given to me by people who voted for a party that has talked about building internment camps and mass deportation

You’re going to have to be more specific.

This is what happens when you get rid of all the public washrooms.

Oh yeah, this guy is committing a serious federal offense and could very easily be put in prison if the authorities decided to prosecute him. Whether that would actually happen depends on how connected he is to powerful people, of course, but there is zero ambiguity about the legality here.

If your choices are between 100% Hitler and 99% Hitler then the logical conclusion is that the choice-making machine is broken.

lol "Overton window shifting." The average Brazillian MMA fighter would be somewhere on the political spectrum between January 6th rioters and Civil War reenactors who only play Confederate soldiers.

“I don’t spend any time on twitter” says man who spent enough time on twitter that he felt the need to delete it for sake of his mental health.

Trump would have handled this better, and I’m not joking.

I love seeing someone who unironically uses the term “trann*es” get big mad on the Internet. I also love seeing multiple people in the comments telling OP to kill themselves. Terrific effort all around, no notes.

Then what were they rallying for?

Nexus Mods, a place where you can find multiple mods for augmenting NPC boobs, is still more woke than every lemmy instance that isn’t federated with Hexbear.
