I’d like to go to Vegas sometime. I don’t gamble but would like to see the place that gave birth to the snowclone “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”. I think there’s a good chance it’ll disappear/collapse soon due to climate change, and I want to see the “before” of a monument to man’s hubris that spits in the face of water usage.

      People seriously dislike the US right now. And I get it, but I’ve always voted against this shit and advocated among my community for leftist ideals.

      I blame the fascists, and not because there is nobody else to blame.

      I blame the fascists because we need all the allies I can get to make this country worth visiting again.

      Not really sure. Maybe there’s a lot of Vegas haters on Lemmy? It was kind an off-the-cuff pick to start the conversation more than some deeply-held desire of mine to visit.

      I did notice there was one user downvoting every comment in the thread so far and they got banned. I also discovered piefed’s private voting feature, which is interesting: https://piefed.social/post/205362

        Tbh I do the opposite and upvote most comments and posts here, to try to make it a more welcoming place. But I can barely fathom someone trying to do the opposite - to accomplish what, making it a less welcoming place for people to communicate, in this community of a social media platform?!
